MD. TO START 5 MILES OF NEW HIGHWAY NEAR CAPITAL
CHARGE REALTY
MEN ENCROACH
On STREET

CHEVY CHASE, Nd. Mar. s.
The alleged practice q certain
real estate developers, Of building
sidewalks On land which properly.
is part Of the public highway, TO-
make their lots appear larger, has
resulted in . feud between prop
erty owners On the north side Of
Leland Street here. and those or
the south side. i
The feud began when plans TO
widen the street were announced.
and a survey showed that laying
a S6-foot pavement would result
in cutting of 10 feet Of the front
yards Of residents on the north
side Of the street. This ts the
result, it was shown, Of the fact
that real estate developers nad
built q sidewalk In front oE the
property 10 feet out IN the public
highway rightof.WAy.
Property-ownerS on the north
side of the street suggest that
the center Of the street be moved
10 feet south, thus avoiding cut
ting off their yards. 6outh-side
property owners object TO this,
however, as it would take away
from the space to have . Ctlrhins
between their property and the
new street.
The affair has been taken 70
