HIGHWAY CUT OFF
OPPOSED BY CLUB
Prince Georges Project Fear
ed Block to Widening
of Boulevard.
=, a stan Correspondent of The Star.

MOUNT RAINIER, Md. September
o.-Apprehensive lest the completion OF
a "cut of" from the Baltimore Boule-
ward to Silver Spring might prevent
further widening Of the boulevard be-
tween the District Line and Laurel, the
Exchange Club of Prince Georges Coun-
ty yesterday appointed committee to
learn the exact status of the situation
and to urge early completion OF the
boulevard widening The boulevard Is
being widened this year north OF
Laurel.
w. D. Porter, who presided ct yes
terdays luncheon meeting In the cor
ridor of the Cameo Theater, in the abb
sence Of President Otway B. zantzinSer,
jr., appointed Rev. Clyde Brown, A. H.
Seidenspinner, Elmore Power and James
Rogers on the boulevard committee.
Fear Blow at Project.
In the discussion preceding the COM
mittee's appointment, members OF the
club claimed that If new link to the
Columbia pike, connecting Laurel and
Silver Spring, were built before the
lower portion of the Baltimore Boule-
ward is widened 1t would result in an
effort to divert trafhc toward north
west washington and the Washington
end of the boulevard probably never
would be widened. Such an occurrence
would be an injustice" to the suburban
communities in Prince Georges County,
members asserted. and it was in an ef-
fort to prevent this that the committee
was appointed.
The committeeman were also In
structed to investigate reports that GER
tain portions of the business district
of Hyattsville were proving obstacles
to the boulevard widening scheme.
Would Overcome Delay.
1t was the sentiment of the organiza-
ton that it was not asking too much
to request the widening of the boule-
ward to 40 feet through their territory,
in addition to the building of the over
head bridge at Hyattsville and the ex-
tension of Rhode Island avenue this
year, inasmuch as it was felt those i'm
provements should have been made sew
eral years ago. The work of extending
Rhode Island avenue has been under
way several days, the operations having
been started at the east end Of the new
bridge over the Northwest Branch OF
the Anacostia River.
Having completed its quota Of mem
bers last month and petitioned for
charter in the National Exchange Club,
the group yesterday effected a perma-
nent organization, choosing the follow
ing officers:

c. Fleming, first vice president; DR.. w.
