LEONARDTOWN, Md, April

A crew of six men started to

TOWNS CLAMOR
FOR TRACK
LEvEL|NG
Company Must Remove Poles,
Make Lines Conform to
Street or Face Custer Suit

It appears likely today that the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company will be challenged by
Montgomery county officials over
it's right to use Wisconsin Avenue
from the District Line to the con.
vergence of Rockville Pike, Edge.
moor Lane, Old Georgetown Road
at Watkins Avenue, as a right-of-
way for its street car line to Rock
vile.
The street railway company has
been using Wisconsin Avenue for
about 40 years under a charter
which, county legal officials claim,
does not authorize it to operate
upon the avenue.
Improvement Refused
For many years the railway
company, which operates the
Washington and Rockville Rail
way Company, has refused to yield
to the requests Of citizens of Mont,
gomery county, especially those OF
Friendship Heights, Somerset
Drummond and adjoining commu.
mites, to level its tracks to com
form with the street level and for
removal of the poles in the center
of the street. The railway COM
pany claims its charater, granted
shortly after 1888, does not re
quire it to do so.
This will probably be fought by
county authorities through an
amendment to the act of 1922 of
the Maryland legislature passed
by the recent session of the legis-
lature which gives them the power
to condemn property necessary to
carry out the provisions of the
1922 act, which provides for the
widening of Wisconsin Avenue
from Bradley Lane to the Dis
trict Line.
Street Bar Threatened
County officials say the amend
ment to the 1922 act will enable
them to enter into a peaceful
agreement with the Washington
Railway and Electric Company
looking to correcting the track
levels of it's line and removal Of
center poles on Wisconsin Avenue.
If the railway company does
not acquiesce to the requests of
Montgomery county citizens to CO.
ordinate with county authorities
in making Wisconsin Avenue more
slightly along the distance men
toned, it is believed county legal
officials will contest it's right to
use Wisconsin Avenue at all.

Would Treat Veterans
In Civilian Hospitals

indianapolis, Nov. 20.-R)-A plan
proposed by the American Medical
association whereby disabled war vet
Grams would be treated In civilian hos
pitfalls, the expenses to be betrayed by
a grant by the federal government,
was discussed Thursday at a confer
ence Of officials Of the Medical asso-
citation, the American Hospital asso-
citation and the American Legion.
The proposed plan would supplant
the legion disqualification program
now in force. Representatives of the
Medical association pointed out that
most hospitals Of communities,
churches and industrial associations
have vacant beds and that the utiliza-
ton Of these facilities would forego
the necessity of a further extensive
building program by the federal gov
eminent.
Medical association officials said
also they believed seriously i'll patients
could be placed in hospitals under
this plan more quickly and conven-
iently than in federal hospitals, likely
to be a great distance away.

FIVE-DAY OPEN DEER
HUNT SEASON IN n. D.
WILL CLOSE TONIGHT
Does Shot BY Mistake Will Be
Turned Over to Charity,
Commissioner Says

North Dakota's first open season
on deer in the last 10 years became
history at sunset Friday.
Historians on the subject, from
present indications, will be able to
record that about so percent Of the
army of from 900 to 1000 hunters
came back with venison for the FAM
lily table.
Hunters were practically unani-
nous that deer were plentiful in the
Missouri river bottoms, where taking
of deer was permitted, and sports
men made the guess that from
5000 to 10000 deer YER available
in the area.
Commends Sportsmen
Burnie Maurek, state game and
fish commissioner, said hunters dis
played outstanding craftsmanship
during the five-day season and that
serious law violations were few. The
larger number of violations SO far
reported, he said, are technical.
Two accidents in the hunting area
were the only ones reported up to
Friday. One nan was injured while
climbing from a tree, causing his
rifle to discharge, while the other
casualty was that of a youth who
was hit by a bullet which struck
him as it ricocheted from a tree.
Neither victim was regarded in a
grave condition. A Stanton youth
was killed by the accidental dis
charge of a rifle at his home fol-
loving a hunting trip, but this can
not be attributed directly to deer
hunting.
Does shot by mistake and turned
in to the state deartment will be
donated to charity, Maurek said.
The commissioner expects to send
venison where food is needed most
by unfortunate families.
Only Two Received
Only two does had been received
by the department Friday, while
four others were being shipped here.
Maurek expects several more will
arrive here in the next few days.
Wardens and deputies have been
instructed to remain in the field
through Sunday to kill all wounded
animals they encounter. Several in
jured does are in the bottoms, Maui
rex said, and every effort will be
made to kill them to relieve them
from suffering.
AS the season drew near its close,
reports of Bismarck mems success
continued to circulate. Among the
latest rztIrted as having killed
bucks are Walter Renden, Simon w.
Fraser, B. E. Jones, Russell Byerly,
f. NJ. Davis, Dan Hall, and ]. S.
Kelly. A. E. Soderholm, Sykeston,
also bagged n in the Bismarck
district.
