CONFERENCE HELD
TO SPEED ROADS
Commissioner Shaw and
(. Brooke Lee Take Up
Montgomery Plans.
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY,
stan Correspondent Of The Star.

SILVER SPRING, Md, June 3.-In
an effort to speed up the road improve
ment program in Montgomery County,
County Commissioner Lacy Shaw of
the northern suburban district and
E. Brooke Lee went to Baltimore, where
this afternoon they are holding a con-
ference with the Maryland State Roads
Commission. The forces of the COM
mission do the constructing of roads
for the county.
While the road program Is the pri-
mary purpose of the trip. it was said
by Commissioner Shaw, they also will
inquire as to the status of the proposed
viaducE under the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad tracks just west of Sligo, in
the line of the new direct highway
between Sligo and Bethesda. Commits
sioner Shaw said that the plans were
supposed to have been completed by
the commission on June l, but that he
had not yet received them.
Anxious to Begin Work.
The county officials are quite anxious
to have the work started on this phase
Of the road improvement, as the con-
crete roadbed on much Of the eastern
end has been completed. If the work
is not started soon, it may not be pos
/, as originally planned. When the
plans are completed, it will be neces-
sary to advertise for bids for the con-
struction, and this will consume several
weeks, including the time necessary for
the examination of bids, the making Of
the award and the actual construction.
Commissioner Shaw said that the
county officials are very anxious to
get started on the road building work
and will ask the road commission to
send the survey parties into Mont
gomery County Immediately so that
this work can be completed. 1t Is
the desire to complete the construc-
ton before the end of the Summer
season, as some of the roads are In
sections where there are only mud
roads. 1t Is in these sections that the
county will provide nine-foot wide con-
crete roads, with three-foot stone shoul-
ders, so that there will be a hard sur
face road for the residents there.
May Discuss Grade Crossing.
1t is probable, too, it was said, that
the Kensington grade crossing elimi-
nation also will come up for discussion.
At the last hearing in this matter. the
commission said that it was having two
sets Of plans drawn, one providing for
an underpaSs Of the railroad tracks and
