Plaintiff Charges 0rganiza-

and Rent.
ABROGATIOM OF LEASE
REQUESTED BY LAWYER
Silver Spring Golf Course Was
Ranked as One Of Best
Around Capital.

Seeking restitution Of the property to
the owners, . suit was filed In Rock
Vile today against the Indian Sprint
Golf Club of Silver Spring. Nd. for
restoration to the owners Of the physi-
cal property now leased by the club.
The clerk Of the Rockville Police Court
issued q summons against the onacers
of the club to appear August l to
show cause why the property should
not be restored forthwith to Indian
Spring Village, Inc, named as the
plaintiff.
Tom and Nettie Moore Of Washing
ton are the owners Of the property and
of Indian Spring Village. Sheriff
Richard H. Lansdale Of Montgomery
County Will serve notice today or to-
morrow Of the suit on the officers Of the
club. The Indian Spring Coli Club Is
headed by c. c. Caywood. . Washing
ton attorney.
The suit, fled by Nell Burkinshav
on behalf of Indian Spring Village,
alleges the club has violated the terms
Of an agreement entered into May !,
1926, between Tom and Nettte Moore
and the Indian Spring Golf Club. by
reason Of failure Of the club to pay
taxes on the property for 1882 ana
failure to pay rent under terms OF the
agreement for the months Of April,
May, June and July, 1898. It also
alleges that the club has refused to
deliver the property to the owners after
claimed failure on the part of the club
to live up to the terms Of the lease.
The original lease was to run Tor
10 years, for which An annual rental
of $4,000 was to BE- paid. The lease
was modified last Winter under an
agreement between the property owners
and the club, by which . considerable
reduction In rent was effected.
The Indian Spring course was ranked
by experts as one Of the finest around
washington. 1t was laid out by Donald
Ross, well known course architect, in
1921. The course was opened for play
in 1922, and since then many major
golf affairs have been played there.
Only last week the Maryland State
Amateur Championship was played at
Indian Spring.
Mr.. Caywood had no statement to
make pen0l0e Issuance OF the summons
against the club officers TO show cause
why the property should not be restored
to the owners, but promised . full
statement as to the future of the club
later. What will be done with the golf
course remained question, but 1t prob
ably will continue as q golf links.
The Indian Spring Club has . mem-
bership of about 800 Several years
ago the property, on which . commo-
dious modern club house and locker
rooms have been erected. was said to
be valued 1t about $375,0O0.

Joint GROUP BACKS
FSTREET WIDENING
Sidewalk to Be Trimmed at
= Corners and Along Patent
Office Structure.

A plan for widening r street, between
Seventh and Ninth streets, to permit
two-way trafic, was approved today by
q joint committee representing the
Board Of Trade, Merchants & Manu-
facturers' Association and Chamber Of
Commerce. meeting with Capt. H. @.
Whitehurst, director Of highways for
the District.
Under the plan, 5h feet would be
cut from the present i3h foot Sidewalk
in front Of the old Patent Once Build
ing. giving 12-foot lane for vehicular
trafdc between the east-bound street
car tracks and the curb. The south
west corner Of Ninth and r streets. and
the southeast corner Of Seventh and F
streets, would be rounded back tn .
graceful curve, permitting greater street
width at these points.
Capt. Whitehurst said work on the
project would begin as soon as the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission and the Federal agency
having jurisdiction over the land abut-
ting the Patent Once structure ap-
proved it.
Cost Of widening r street under the
proposed plan would be considerably
less than moving the car tracks to the
center of the street. Capt. Whitehurst
estimated unonicially that the sidewalk
could be cut back to permit the addi-
tional trafnc lane at . cost under
$25, 900, while cost OF moving the car
tracks might exceed 100000.
Financing Of the project, he said.
would come out Of the emergency high
way fund, subject to the approval Of
the District Commissioners.
The present width Of r street at this
point Is 81 feet, from curb to curb.
The distance between the south curb
and the eastboumd car tracks Is 80
feet.
It is explained that. BY reducing the
width Of the Sidewalk In front Of the
former Patent Once Building to 8 feet,
pedestrian trafic would not be affected.
since there are no stores and trafac
Is light.
The plan Is being studied by the Co.
ordinating Committee, composed Of Dis

trict Committee expressed confidence
today that the funds to start the new
Calvert Street Bridge would be made

type of structure to be erected Is set
tied, following q discussion Of the sub
ject with the Budget Bureau yesterday.
The Calvert street structure Is one
Of the projects Congress specified could
be undertaken out Of the Districts
gasoline tax surplus, provided the
budget director gives his approval.
The Commissioners have made formal
application for use of the fund for
highway purposes, including a start on
the bridge, and, while formal de-
cision has not been announced, the
outlook for approval Of the bridge ex-
penditure appeared bright today. Budget
Director Douglas is out Of the city and
Is expected back in two weeks.
The next development In connection
with the bridge project will be q joint
meeting Friday Of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission and the
Fine Arts Commission to consider the
problem Of the type and design. The
District appropriation act directed that
the plans be restudied before the project
is started, after a difference Of opinion
had developed as to whether the bridge
should be a steel span or Of the masonry
type. similar to the nearby Connecticut
avenue bridge.
In urging the Budget Bureau to give
its approval to the bridge item, Senator
placing the existing Calvert street span
without delay.
The Commissioners early last month
made their first request Of the Budget
Bureau for use of the gas tax fund, In
accordance with the terms Of the ap-
propriation act. They were advised at
that time that the budget director was
withholding approval until 1t was ascer-
tanned what work would be authorized

plated by the Industrial recovery act.
