D. c. TO ELIMINATE
CROSSING WHERE
TWO LOST LIVES
Chestnut Street Peril Is Dis
cussed Before North Ia
koma Improvement Club.
1921 600 UNDERPASS
FUND TO BE ASKED
Commissioners Want Appropriation
for Fern Street and Piney
Branch Work.

The Engineer Department of the
District of Columbia plans to elm
mate the railroad grade crossing at
Chestnut street, just across the Mary.
land line, where there we're two fatal.
ties last Saturday night when an auto
mobile was struck by an express train.
This was disclosed last night at meet
ing of the North Takona Improve
ment Club at the home of DR.. Llewllyn
Jordan. It also was reported that the
District Commissioners will seek an APP
preparation at the regular session Of
Congress, it being estimated that 1t will
cost 1921 900 to construct an under
pass at the Fern street and Piney
Branch road junction of the railroad
tracks.
j. Bond Smith, corporation counsel
of Takoma Park, Md. informed the
meeting that he, together with Lacy
Shaw, commissioner in charge of the
northern suburban district; Irving G.
Root, chief engineer of the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, and Z. Brooke Lee, county
Democratic leader, conferred yesterday
with Engineer Commissioner Ladue and
Capt. Whitehurst regarding the Coop
Grafton of Maryland authorities in
eliminating the dangerous crossing.
Capt. Whitehurst then produced the
u1dWAA6 bCAO6OANCAy OCOoAAA0 SAAS PAO-
posed underpaSs, and informed the
Maryland visitors that 1t would be
pressed at the coming session Of Con-
gresS.
Square to Be Acquired.
AS outlined by the District authorities,
the plans call for acquisition Of the
square bounded by the B. & o. Railroad
tracks, Chestnut street and Takoma

ingS there and turn the area into a
park, through which would be cut three
streets, converging on the proposed UNI
derpass. One Of these would be q con-
tinuation OF Eastern avenue, the other
would pass through the park from the
intersection of Chestnut street and Ia
koma avenue, and the third would enter
the park as a continuation of Baltimore
street.
County TO Do Part.
County Commissioner Shaw said
county authorities would be ready to do
their part in providing approaches to
the underpass by the time it is COM
pleted. The Improvement Club adopted
resolution petitioning the District
Commissioners to build the underpasS at
the earliest possible date, and asked the
Montgomery County commissioners TO
cooperate. The organization gave MI.
Shaw rising vote OF thanks.
The club also was informed by MI
Smith that the North Takoma siding
controversy would be settled in O short
time, and that he expected the railroad
company to withdraw an injunction suit
as soon as 1t received permission from
the Maryland Public Service Commits
sion to remove the siding. He said sucll
action would result in the tracks being
taken up, so that the proposed park ad-
jacent to the railroad would not be
marred by the storage Of freight cars.

c. OF c. ROLE IN CITY
is HELD IMPORTANT
Part Played by Chamber in
Growth of Washington Told
on Radio.

The growth of Washington during
the past 20 years and the part played
by the Chamber of Commerce in slim
ulating that growth was the subject of
Stephen H. Takes, chairman Of the
chambers membership committee, in
an address last evening broadcast from
station WMAL.
1.-THE modern chamber Of commerce
furnishes the machinery by means OF
which American business and profess
sional men and women coordinate
their group efforts for community adj
vancement," he declared. 1T is the
laboratory for the investigation and
analysis of civic and business prob
lens. 1t is the clearing house for
the acquisition and distribution of in
formation about the community. It is
a forum for discussion, and the effec-
tive medium for the cryStalliZation OF
public opinion and for the adoption
and advocacy of needed changes and
necessary public Improvements.
THE twenty-odd years of chamber
history have paralleled similar period
of exceptional progress in the growth
of local business. Our population has
increased at phenomenal rate; vast
areas have been built up with modern
and attractive homes; the downtown
business section has been rejuvenated
with new and remodeled Office and store
buildings; bank deposits and insurance
coverage have rapidly increased, and
the volume of retail trade and of indus
trial production has exceeded all pre-
viouS records.
This unique achievement of WASH
ington business men has been made
possible by their increasing acceptance
and faith in the American doctrine of
teamwork and cooperation. Washing
ton business men are not only accept
ing this doctrine, but are demonstrate
ing their faith by giving unsparingly

vancement of projects of community
