PROTESTED

Protests against a change In
the highway plan which would
widen Piney Branch Road to 12O
feet at the proposed entrance to
the underpass at the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad tracks in
Takoma Park was registered yes
terday by a group Of property
owners at a hearing before the
District Commissioners.
Under the plan, a slight curve
would be made in the roadway
to connect with Chestnut Street
On the Maryland side Of the

be widened to care for increased
traffic.
: The property owners did not
object to the curve but saw
danger in widening it, believing
that with increased traffic on the
highway plans would probably go
forward to widen it to 100 feet
for some distance from the
ilnderpass with resultant damage

now is comparatively narrow.
: Five other proposed changes in
the highway plan were up for
consideration. but no opposition
was brought forward The Com
