City to Move Road Off Conduit
4s HOUSES SHIFTED BACK STREET IN WIDENING

0ONDUIT ROAD, named for the
huge ducts beneath its sur
face which bear the CapitolS
" water supply from its source
high up the Potomac River, is
to be shifted because the water mains
cannot stand the strain of heavy We
hicular traffic.
With 48 houses being moved back
from the road at tremendous expense
to the District to make possible the
change, the Highway Department is 60
ing forward rapidly with plans to sup
plant the present thoroughfare with two
30-foot roadWays, flanking the conduits
on either side and extending all the way
from Reservoir road to Norton street,
near the District line
The conduits themselves, at present
subjected to undue strain despite the
6-ton load limit for vehicles on Conduit
road will be beneath a central parking
which will separate the two traffic lanes,
according to plans being developed url-
der the guidance Of Capt H. G. White
hurst, director of highways. The center
parking will be 10 feet in width.
Surveying for the program Of rebuild
ing this highway through western WASH
ington, and at the same time develop
ing it as a beautiful boulevard, has
Just been completed by the District, and
it now remains for funds to be appro-
priated TO go on with the work. With
stress laid on the point of safeguarding
the Districts water supply, little trou-
BILE in getting passage Of necessary legis-
lation by Congress Is anticipated.

DAIRY PROBE 0. KID
BY SENATE BODY
Kinq solution Is FavOrably
Reported by District
Committee.

An investigation of prices OF dairy
products in Washington, as proposed in
the King resolution, was approved by
the Senate District Committee yester-
day afternoon. Senator King, Demo-
crat, of Utah, was authorized to report
it favorably to the Senate.
King suggested the inquiry could be
carried on by the same subcommittee
which is to be appointed to investigate
rents, but Chairman Capper was OF the
opinion there should be two separate
subcommittee. The dairy products
subcommittee will consist Of three
members, to be appointed after the Sen
ate has acted on the resolution.
The King resolution seeks an in
quiry into claims that price levels in
dairy commodities within the District
of Columbia indicate that competition
in trade in such commodities has be-
come stif1ed therein and that the cost
to the consumer of such commodities
exceeds the cost to the producer by
more than a fair margin of profit to the
producer" 1t would authorize the COM
mittee to inquire whether there are any
conditions in the nature of restraint Of
trade or commerce in dairy products.
Chairman Capper informed the COM
mittee at yesterdays meeting that the
committee has authority to take test
mony without asking additional funds
from the Senate. so it will not be nee
eSsary to refer the dairy products reso-
luton to the Committee on Audit and
Control of the Contingent Expenses of
the Senate.
Other members Of the committee who
took part in consideration of the reso-
luton yesterday were Senators Jones
Of Washington, Austin Of Vermont and
Kean of New Jersey.

road and Norton street first, since the
conduits lie within this distance. Capt.
Whitehurst hopes to be able to COM
plete this work next year. The entire
project, he said, probably will be ex-
tended over three years.
The double roadway probably will
merge into single vice boulevard east
lanes flank the conduit they will not
necessarily be on the same level, in
some cases the road on the south side
being as much as five feet lower than
that on the north.
The cost of maintaining Conduit
road under present conditions runs ex-
ceedingly high as compared with
maintenance of other highways, Capt.
Whitehurst said, due principally to the
fact the weight of surfacing distributors
runs considerably over six tons and
therefore cannot be employed over the
conduits. The work, therefore, has
been done in the past virtually by hand.
BY building the road off the conduits
the District will effect a decided econ
omy in this respect, he said.
Condemnation proceedings to acquire
Conduit road property for the improve
ment project were long drawn out, be-
ginning in 1927 and not being finally
settled until February last During the
proceedings 80 attorneys appeared for
the 334 land owners and 1903 pages of
testimony were taken. Corporation
Counsel Walter l.. Fowler appeared for
the District.
Evening star., 1932-07-10

For the last four months, home
owners along Conduit road, from Fox
hall road west to Norton street, have
been engaged in moving their houses
to make way for a 120-foot width from
building line to building line-work paid
for by the District at costs ranging
from sits to $4,000 for each of the
80 houses. Not all of this work has
been completed, although few of the
houses remain in the path Of the
project.
A total of 1896 47396 was allowed
334 property owners by a condemna-
ton jury for land taken by the Dis
trict for the Conduit road widening
while more than 1000 property owners
in the sections abutting the highway
were assessed a total Of S162, ,248 SO for
benefits expected to result from the
improvement.
In recent years, 1t has become in
creasingly difficult to check weighty
vehicular traffic on Conduit road. ac-
cording to Capt. Whitehurst. In ad-
dition, the volume CT traffic has in
creased steadily with added strain on
the water line beneath the roadway.
While nothing serious is feared, he said
it has been deemed advisable in the
best interests Of safety to rush the
project through in as little time as
possible.
1t Is contemplated, the director Of
highways said, to complete that sec
ton OF Conduit road between Reservoir
