The new lines have not been def
nitely laid out, although contract for
the widening and paving have been
let to Olaf Otto Of Atlanta, Ga. at q
cost of 100000.
For the most part the new road will
consist Of driveways on either side
Of the conduit which supplies WASH
ington with drinking water. Between
Macomb street and Cathedral avenue,
however, there Is sharp turn In the
line of the conduit, which cannot be
accurately followed by the new road
way. and the solution now proposed
by the Highway Department is to throw
both roadways to the south Of the
conduit.
Wherever the new roadway crosses
the conduit, expensive reinforcing must
be placed to protect the water supply,
so that the Highway Department Is
anxious to arrange the curves so that
there is as little crossing OF the con-
duit as possible.
In the condemnation case In which
the District took title to enough land
to make the new road possible. COM
pensation was arranged for those who
would have to move their houses back.
Mrs. Goude received damages under
this theory. but said today that at the

time Of the case she understood that
the roadways would parallel the con-
duit and that 1t would not be necessary
to move very far back.
Mr.. Dement, said that at the time
Of the condemnation case the property
owners were told they would all have
at least 101a feet Of parking space, but
that now he finds he will have none.
The statement relative to the 10h
feet Of parking space was confirmed
by Assistant Corporation Counsel
Walter Fowler. who tried the case for
the District. Mr.. Fowler said that
some scheme would have to be worked
out to give Mr. Dement, the promised
footage. Leonard P. Robertson, deputy
highway engineer. however. said that
at the time Of the condemnation case
no statements were made as to the
exact lines to be followed by the new
road, although two alternative schemes
were presented. The decision to put
both roadways south Of the conduit
between Cathedral avenue and Macomb
street was made only . week ago, he

~ ESIDENTS Of Conduit road,
- which Is now being graded for

L Y job, are endeavoring to get the
Highway Department to work
out some scheme of treatment Of the
roadway between Cathedral avenue
and Macomb street that will save some
of the houses on the north side from
being left too high in the air above
grade and at the same time leave those
on the south side not too far below.
The Conduit Road Citizens Associa-
ton Thursday night took hand in
the problem by supporting a resolution
introduced by Mrs. Charles Goude of
$500 Conduit road, asking that the
two roadways of the proposed Conduit
road be built parallel to the water
conduit between Cathedral avenue and
Macomb street.
The line Of the new roadway, as now
proposed, would place the surface of
the road approximately on line with
Mrs. Goude's roof, 19 feet from her
building line. On the other hand,
they would leave no parking space
whatever in front of the home of w.
F. Dement,, 5501 Conduit road, leaving
him a maximum of two feet in which
to negotiate a seven-foot drop from his
building line to the surface of the road.

Found guilty on two counts, he faces
sentence of from two to five years In
prison on each.
Judge Otis E. Hungate announced
sentence would be deferred until Feb
ruary TO- The defense gave notice
new trial would be asked.
The 46-year-old defendant, father o1
six children, showed no emotion as the
verdict was read.
Boyd was charged with turning the
bonds over to Ronald Finney. bono
broker and market plunger, who per-
petrated the million-dollar Kansas bo-
gus bond scandal.
Finney Under Sentence.
Finney now is under sentence o1
from 81 to 635 years for bond forgery
His father, Warren w. Finney, Emporia
banker, has been sentenced to prison
for embezzlement Three banks con.
trolled by the Finneys were closed last
year and the scandal resulted in i'm
peachment charges against Attorney
General Roland Boynton and State
Auditor Will j. French.
The State Senate acquitted Boynton
FTench's trial will be resumed next
week with a motion before the i'm

. Placed In Treasury.
The bonds involved in the case had
been placed In the treasury as security
for State money deposited in Finney
banks at Emporia and Eureka.
The State contended that Boyd and
Finnev removed them to aid Finney
when he was called for added collateral
by his Chicago brokers.
Although he remained silent at the
trial, Boyd declared in a newspaper In
terview last year that Finney gave him
a memorandum receipt and told him
he proposed to take the bonds to Chi
cago, sell them and place the proceeds
In the State treasury to reduce the ac-
counts of the Emporia and Eureka
banks.
The money was not returned and the
investigation directed by Gov. ALI M.
Landon disclosed more than $400, 900
Of fake bonds in the treasury.
Boyd was serving his third term as
treasurer when he resigned last october
after his arrest.
Federal charges are pending against
the former official and Finney.
