PHILADELPHIA ROAD
DISPUTE ENDED
Federal Officials Decide On
Route Suggested BY
Advisory Group

Bringing to close the much dis
cussed Philadelphia road dispute,
Federal officials have decided that
the new northeast" highway should
approach the eastern city line Of
Baltimore on an independent right
of-way and be entirely separate from
the Philadelphia road.
The nature of the decision was
made known Friday at the offices Of
the State Roads Commission. The
views of the Federal officials will be
followed under an agreement enter
ed into early last month by members
If tile commission and of the State
advisory board, Public Works Ad
ministration.
G. Clinton Uhl, chairman, and E.
Brooke Lee, member of and spokes-
man for the commission, wanted the
new highway to follow the Philadel-
phia road from Golden Ring to the
city line. Robert Lacy, also mem
Der of the commission, and members
of the advisory board, wanted the
road to follow an independent route.
Unable to reach an agreement, the
members of the two groups referred
the controversy to Thomas Fl. Mac
Donald, chief of the United States
Bureau of Public Roads; national
officials of the PWA and George L.
Radcliffe, regional director Of the
PWA. These men rendered their
decision on Friday.
The entire road route as decided
on finally is virtually the same as
that suggested last October by adj
visory board members. it will co..
incide with the present Philadelphia
road between Havre de Groae and
Aberdeen and then parallel the
tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, lying just to the southeast,
from Aberdeen to a point just OUT
side the city line.
From this latter point 1t will pass
under the tracks and connect with
the present junction of the Philadel.
phia road and the city line.
In deciding that an independent
right of way should be followed in
the city-line approach, Federal OFF,
Gals pointed out that 1t would cost
$4,000 more to follow the Phila-
delphia road into Baltimore than to
construct along a new line.
