PARKWAY PLAN
IN MARYLAND
River Shore DWeIIers Attack
PWA Project; Urge Improv-
ing of Present Highway

Delegates Of residents between
Broad Greek and Swan Greek
bordering the Potomac River on
the Maryland side today appeared
before the Prince Georges Board
of County Commissioners and
voiced bitter disapproval Of the
PWA plan to construct the ST.
0OO,000 George Washington Me-
mortal Parkway.
The delegates declared that all
the residents except one were op-
posed to the idea and would fight
to the end against relinquishing
their shore property.
Offer Own Plan
AS an alternative the group,
consisting of Arthur j. Lowell,
Rudolph Adler, and Roy Hum
phrey. their legal counsel, sug-
gested that the county road which
runs 1000 feet from the shore
be used. They said that the
county road commands q better
view of both the Washington
Monument and Mount Vernon
than does the proposed road
through their property.
The commissioners were noti-
fled last week that the PWA was
pushing the project and that resi-
dents would be asked to sign petit
tions favoring it. The commits
sioners treasured the delegates
that before they made any deci-
sion each side would be given a
public hearing.
PWA Has Right of Way
The proposed road would lead
from the foot Of East Capitol
Street to Fort Washington and
follow the shore line, which is
almost straight line north and
south. It was said the PWA has
rights Of way to Broad Greek, and
the residents complaining own
the two and one-half mile stretch
between the two creeks.
If the Government builds the
road the State of Maryland and
the residents would be required
to relinquiSh their shore prop
erty and control Of the river to
the Virginia shore.
