State To Widen Highway.

Widening. through Rockville, of the main
State highway leading from Washington
to Frederick and Western Maryland was
voted Thursday by the Maryland State
Roads Commission, Major E. Brooke Lee
member of the commission. announces.
The project. which is to cost approx
mately $17,800. will be paid by the State
out of the road-construction fund provided
by the gasoline tax. The plans of the Com
mission in this connection have previously
received the support of the Mayor and
Town Council of Rockville, the Rockville
Chamber of Commerce and the Rockville
Rotary Club.

The widening of the southern portion
of the main street of the town also will
include the installation of iron poles for
the street railway lines trolley wires. which
new poles will be placed at the curb and
replace the present wooden poles now in
use.
The additional paving of the street is
expected to allow one more lane of traffic
through the town, and since the traffic
congrestion is generally one-way traffic at
rush hours. the additional lane of travel is
expected to alleviate the present contested
traffic conditions which exist in the town on
Sundays and holidays and frequently dur
ing the hours of peak traffic.
AS the Rockville pike from Bethesda to
the southern limits Of Rockville is now
being widened and resurfaced. the WIDEN
| ing of the main street of the town will
carry this project to the new county cour'
house in the town.

teaching Rockville from Frederick. Western
Maryland and the Western United States
is picked up by the Rockville pike. and TO
this reason the project was considered by
the State Commission and the Montgomery
County Commissioners as the most impor
tant Montgomery County highway project
to b widened at this time. especially
In anticipation of the traffic during the
Bicentennial celebration next year. accord
ing to Maj. Lee.
Montgomery County is now spending
approximately $23. 800 for street widenin
on the west. south and east of the cour
house square and $4,000 for storm waite
sewers needed to drain the square. Thi
project is expected to be completed withir
few days. as most of the streets hav
been completed.
The Rockville pike job is we'll on. Laying
of the concrete shoulders and lowering O
the grade Of the highway in several place
are practically finished and the work O
making the back Gil has been started.
