1 51ts Highway Commission will
i tbe dupont Boulevard from
4 Rosd to st. Georges, to make
\ br course way as from Viii
4 IN to State Road, or will build
sste road about fifty feet east
4 !. boulevard, is a question that
H. of the commission are ser
4 ,nsidering as a major activity
N II the latter proposition is
Y upon as being the most feas-
/ tie light Of increasing automo-
/ -aic, then it will mean acquir-
BIT much more right Of way. If
| road is built, it would mean
1 persons travelling south would
a present highway from State
W s.. Georges and those going
would use the new parallel
W
ate Road or a FOur-Line Road
D. Buck, chief engineer Of the
|ay Commission, believes that |
IN of two highways would solve
r0blem and prevent many acri- !
particularly at night. He |
out one salient argument that Y
ld eliminate, very largely, ac- I
dua to persons becoming |
by glaring headlights. If the |
ssion decides to continue the
MEse highway from State Road .
Georges, then it would mean
lisitiOn Of additional right Of /
from 80 feet to possibly 12O feet.
a1er which course IL decided I
ris the opinion Of Mr.. Buck, \
Atause Of such heavy travel
ne State, the widening process
Eone necessary. In any event, VI
-a'n to the right Of way along
nFay, It would mean obtaining
nal ground through the town
Georges and some buildings
ha7e to be razed.
