ward, the heaviest travelled county
owned and maintained highway in
Arlington County and for long time
in sad state of disrepair, is to be
widened and reSurfaced this summer
from Rosslyn to Clarendon.
The announcement of Supervisor b.

ing the work and who had feared that
it would not be done this year.

In addition to the Wilson boulevard
project q number of other highways In
Arlington district will be hard surfaced,
the principal of which will provide
direct connection between Clarendon

the Wilson boulevard work have been
under way for the past two months
but definite action has been delayed to
await the outcome Of the county's
efforts to acquire a sufficient right Of
way down Pickett's Hill, in Rosslyn, to

curves now IN use.
A commission recently set q valua-
ton Of 40 cents per square foot for the
land desired, but Capt. Crandal Mackey,
attorney for the owner, announced that
the amount was not sufficient and that
he would appeal the case to the Circuit
Court. Hedrick felt that he could wait
no longer. so ordered the immediate
completion of the widening plans.
The road will be 28 feet in width,
with concrete shoulders and q macadam
