Owners on Grade.
nisn.tch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch to The STAR.
ROCKVILLE, Md, March 6.-Repre-
sentatives of the Maryland State Roads
Commission and the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Commission,
Rockville town of1icials and interested
property owners met ION the ground
yesterday afternoon and gave serious
consideration to the location of the
overhead bridge and the approaches
thereto, which the Roads Commission
plan to construct to eliminate the Bal
timore road crossing of the Baltimore
g. Ohio Railroad here.
Those Present.
Mai. Harry Willar, jr., chief engineer;
Edward @. Duncan, district engineer,
and w. c. Hopkins, bridge engineer,
represented the Roads Commission;
Robert q. Hilton, a member, and Irving
c. Root, chief engineer Of the Park and
Planning Commission, and Mayor J.
Roger SpateS and Town Councilman
Stedman, Prescott and H. Worthington
Talbot the town Of Rockville.
Various ideas were advanced and dis
cussed, but the State roads officials did
not commit themselves further than to
let it be understood that they had
learned the LAY of the land" and that
they thought a satisfactory" program
could be worked out.
There is believed to be strong proba-
bility that the overhead will be located
on Reading avenue, about 125 yards
south of the Baltimore road grade cross
ing and a short distance north OF the
present overhead bridge, and that Read
ing avenue, which now parallels the
road from point near the extreme
eastern limit of the town to the Balti-
more 81 Ohio Railroad tracks, will be
extended through the Catholic Church
property and curved into Montgomery
avenue, Rockville's main thoroughfare,
at the top Of the Catholic Church hill'
Would Make Boulevard.
Such an arrangement would, 1t is
pointed out, give Rockville q 60-fOot
boulevard three-fourths of a mile in
length, which the town would otherwise
probably never have, as 1t is planned to
prolong Reading avenue east to inter-
sect the Baltimore road at or beyond
the towns extreme eastern boundary
line, and to convert it into fine thor
oughfare its entire length.
Although very few fatalities have oc-
Cured there, the Rockville grade cross
ing is regarded as extremely dangerous
and is among the first thru in this
county the State Roads Commission plans
to eliminate in the near future, the
others being at Kensington and Cath
ersburg.

fireplace and tables, benches along the
roadside, tennis, quoits and horseshoe
courts.
In one corner it is planned to con-
struct a community building, which will
have facilities for a branch library,
health clinic, a small auditorium and
possibly gymnasium.
All of these features, Mr.. Root said
will be in attractive settings, and In
order to beautify the area groups Of
shrubs or small trees should be placed
at strategic points. It is planned tc
have shrub groups at the corners and
Towering dogwoods and red buds in the
woodland areas. He recommended that
the railroad be screened from the park
by a continuous border Of shrubs and
trees.
Serves Three Communities.
The proposed recreation center, which
will be the first real effort to make the
park lands of Montgomery available tc
the public, will serve the communities
Of Takoma Park, Blair and Silver
Spring.
the way Of the improvement of the park
land between Takoma avenue and the
railroad track Is the litigation now
pending in the Rockville Circuit Court
The case had reached the stage Of teS-
timony taking before an examiner, anc
proceeded until j. Bond Smith, corpo-
ration counsel Of the town, Subpoenaec
Daniel Willard. president of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad, as a witness.
The proceedings then were suddenly
halted, and an amicable adjustment
sought, out of court. Since that time
negotiations have been pending al
though the railroad company sought
and obtained permission of the Mary
land Public Service Commission tt
abandon the siding as a delivery point
for its freight. In this petition The
town of Takoma Park joined, it wa:
said, upon the representation that. II i
was granted, the railroad would prompt
ly abandon the litigation. The Mary
land commission acted on December 4
1929. The residents II the town, 1t wa
said, do not desire the railroad to con
tinue to use the freight siding during
the Summer. 49,
When the planning commission acts
as it is expected tonight. it Is probable
that the residents win insist that tht
litigation be ended, so that the improve
ment work can 60 ahead.
