FINAL SURVEY BEGUN
ON MT. VERNON AVE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLARENDON, Va, February g.
Faced with the problem of having the
county's biggest road project of the year
finished before the State commences
widening the Washington Alexandria
pike, a force from the engineers Office
of Arlington County yesterday started
the final survey of Mount Vernon ave-
nue.. 1t is planned to ask for bids on
the project by March l.
The most difficult problem to be faced
on the reconstruction of the road is the
Strengthening of the present curves on
the "Oakcrest' Hill. These curves have
been the cause of numerous accidents
and are to be eliminated as nearly as
possible, according to G. L. Kinnear,
county engineer.
Mount Vernon avenue is the only road
over which Southern travel can pass
when the State starts widening the
Washing on-Alexandria pike. Funds for
the latter project will be available at
the beginning of the next fiscal year,
July /, so it is necessary that the coun-
ty complete Mount Vernon avenue be-
fore that time.
More than 100000 Is to be expended
in the reconstruction of Mount Vernon
avenue from Hume Station to Columbia
pike, the section through the town Of
Potomac having been completed last
year. This is the largest single road
building project ever attempted by the
county. The entire length of Mount
Vernon avenue lies in Jefferson district,
of which Edward Duncan is supervisor.
The other project tentatively planned
by the county is the reconstruction and
widening of Wilson boulevard, which
runs from Rosslyn through Clarendon
Ia -
Hedrick Is making every effort to Sc
cure free rights of way for the widening
and will endeavor, he says, to have the
work done this Summer. Just what this
project will cost has not yet been de-
termined.

DECISION DEFERRED
IN coming DISPUTE
Prince Georges Commission.
ers Postpone Settlement
With Park Group.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, February
6.-Settlement of the difficulties between
the Prince Georges County commission
ers and the Maryland-N National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, expect
ed yesterday, was deferred at least a
week, when the commissioners, at the
conclusion of joint meeting with an
engineering representative of the park
group, announced they had received ex-
pert legal opinion and advice on coming
from individuals of national reputation
on parking and planning, which they
wished to study.
Further indication that the matter of
administering the coming ordinances
framed by the park commission prob
ably will finally be settled soon was con-
tanned in the announcement that repre-
sentatives of that body would again
meet with the county commissioners
next week. and that the county delega-
ton in the Legislature would also attend
so that a complete understanding and
final decision might be reached.
The identity of the county commits
sioners informants was not disclosed,
but it was said a course of action which
will best avoid litigation had been out
lined. The whole difficulty has been
that the commissioners have believed
the Park and Planning Commission
had no authority to draft zoning regula-
tons, and refused to take over the
responsibility of administering them.
Seventeen requests for changing in
coming have been held up pending a
settlement of the matter.
The county delegation recently con-
ferred with the commissioners on the
subject, when a suggestion that the
park commission be authorized to ad-
minister their own ordinance was under
consideration.

auditor should have discovered this.
There was no balancing of the books,
he said. Any one could not take from
the information on the books that GER
tain persons had taken from $40 to
500 more than their pay. Found many
cases of overdrawn salaries, and in
one a man was overdrawn every year
from 1924 to 1928,
Gasoline Twice Paid For.
He cited the case of one employee,
entitled to gasoline for his car. who got
il AT the State garage at Glenburnie,
and then obtained billheads of private
garages. filled them out and put them
in, so that the State paid for the gaso-
line twice.
When he was asked how the COM
mittee could assist him. he said he did
not like to be presumptious and tell the
committee what to do, but that he well
coined any assistance he could get from
any source in order to bring the cul-
prits to justice.
It was then that O'Conor told the
committee that "it would be we'll worth
your time and efforts" to go into the
given the State.
During the course of the investigation
he named a large contracting firm of
Baltimore. headed by prominent Re-
publican leader of the city, which had
obtained some of the tractors.
It was intimated by the committee
that demands will be made to have the
State enter suits at once against banks
where the convicted employees of the
Roads Commission cashed forged checks
in an effort to recover part Of the $780,
900 stolen
The committee decided to subpoena
William Purnell Hall, attorney for
Charles L. Ewers, convicted road en-
ploye, now in the Baltimore Jail, to
appear at $3.50 pm. tomorrow. Hall, in
Baltimore, threatened to blow the lid
off" the whole affair as result of dis
closures made to him by his client.
Senator Harry o. Levin, Republican,
of Baltimore, who has been consistently
opposing the investigation by the Nelli-
gan committee, which is sitting in Bal
timore, has written to Attorney General
Thomas A. Robinson for an opinion as
to legality of the act, passed Monday
night by the Legislature and signed by
the governor, comforting on the Michigan
body inquisitorial powers.
