ROAD BONDS SALE
TO GAIN $1,1OQ,0DO
Maryland Group Agreement
With P. w. A. Boost
to Financing.
sy /. stan Correspondent of The Star.

By STAN Correspondent OF the star.
BALTIMORE December 22.-Mary-
land will gain sl,loo,ooo in public
works funds through the sale of State
Roads Commission bonds on the open
market, under an agreement just
reached with the Public Works Ad-
ministration, william D. Byron, men,
Der of the commission, announced to-
day.
At the same time he said that be-
cause Of increased gasoline tax re-
ceipts and economy steps taken last
month, the commission is discounting
its bills again and has a cash balance.
The improved cash position of the
commission does not affect the five
counties that have overdrafts, however,
he explained.
Shortage Proved Temporary.
The picture he presented was in
sharp contrast with that revealed dur
ing November when the roads body
was unable to pay its current bills. It
bore out Gov. Ritchie's assertion that
the commissions cash shortage was
only temporary and would be corrected
by further gasoline tax returns.
In agreeing to the sale Of the State
road bonds on the open market, the
p. w. A. yesterday made available an
other $1,1oo,ooo for projects in Mary
land.
The 81 100 900 to be sold comprises
that portion Of the $4,0O0,000 deben-
ture issue which has not been turned
over to the Federal Government, al
though the P. w. A. had allotted a
like amount of their purchase.
80 Per Cent Grants.
In view Of the agreement to let
Maryland dispose of the bonds on the
market, Federal authorities said the
sl.100,000 they had allotted for their
purchase would be used in making 80
per cent grants on new P. w. A. prof.
ects in the State.
The new arrangement will be doubly
advantageous to Maryland, it is be-
lieved. The bonds are expected to
bring premium, the last debentures
sold by the Government having
Drought 103.599. In addition the State
will be able to inaugurate new P. w.
A. projects, using money from the
gas tax and truck licenses to make up
Maryland's 10 per cent.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va.
December 22.-Plans which would not
only eliminate the hazard Of the
present narrow. blind intersection OF
Columbia Pike and Georgetown Alex
andria road near Arlington Gene
terry, but would provide a broad
cutoff" permitting residents Of Ar
lington, Bancroft, Alcova and other
communities in the vicinity to go into
Washington via Memorial Bridge, are
being studied In the Office of Roy S.
Braden, county manager.
While the move has been contem-
plated for some time, it was again
called to the attention of county off,
cials this week, when representatives
Of Arlington and Bancroft citizens
groups presented photographs por-
traying conditions at the curve and
suggesting methods for improvement.
Plan for Subdivision.
At present, it is understood, owners
of the Round Top" property at
the northwest corner of the inter-
section, are contemplating subdivision
of the property into building lots.
Representative Of the citizens groups
plan to confer with the owners, ask
ing them to dedicate a 60-foot right
Of way through the property, which
would provide diagonal cutoff"
beginning about 1000 feet west Of
the intersection on Columbia Pike
and running in northeasterly direc-
ton so as to intersect Georgetown
Alexandria road at a point some dis
tance north of the present dangerous
intersection. If such a right of way
were dedicated, it is virtually certain
the county will accept it.
Difficulties Cited.
Residents of the communities along
Columbia Pike point out that at the
present time they either must con-
tinue eastward on the pike, through
village of "shacks," coming into
Washington via the Highway Bridge
after traversing the winding road
through the airport, or must make
the sharp turn, more acute than a
right angle, into Georgetown-Al
andria road, in order 10 cross the
Memorial Bridge into the city.
The cutoff would eliminate this.
AS to the intersection itself,
Braden's office Is studying a plan to
widen the pavement at the crossing
to allow more sweeping turns without
acquiring additional right Of way.
Some method is being sought to make
Visibility at the crossing clearer.

RICHMOND, Va, December "a
Gov. Peery likes the work of the man
who heads Virginia's Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board, the board chair
man likes the work he is doing, but
the answer to the question of whether
he would accept reappointment yet has
to be considered in the light Of cir
cumstances and eventualities.
The term of Mai. s. Heth Tyler Of
Norfolk, chairman Of the board, ex-
pires March %. In accepting the ap-
pointment eight months ago, Maj.
Tyler requested that he be given the
one-year term. This the Governor did
as he made him the boards first chair
man. Col. r. McC. Burlington Of
Richmond was named for a term Of
three years. and r. Mccall Frazier,
drafted from the Division Of Motor
Vehicles, was appointed for five years.
All of the appointments dated from
March 20, 1884.
Vacancy Question Raised.
The matter of the first vacancy oc-
curing on the board was brought be-
fore both the Governor and Maj. Tyler
today.
First and foremost, of course, is the
question of whether the Governor will
invite the chairman to serve another
term on the board. While the Gov
ernor did not say definitely that he
would ask Maj Tyler to accept reap
pointment, he did say:
II am pleased with the work Maj.
Tyler has done, as well as that done
by the other two members of the
board. I am pleased with their work
as individuals and with the work Of
the board as a whole"
Then, there was to be considered
Maj. Tyler's reaction to any offer he
may receive to succeed himself as a
member Of this board.
He was busy lawyer before he ac-
cepted the appointment. Besides

ARLINGTON SEES
ROADS APPROVAL
Two Projects Before State
Commission Early in
New Year.
By a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

By stafI Correspondent Of The Star.
ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, December 22.-Possibility
that two long-awaited State road
projects in Arlington County may re-
ceive favorable consideration by the
State Highway Commission when it
meets early in 1885 to make alloca-
tions Of the road fund is being ex-
pressed by officials and residents Of
the county.
One project is the completion Of
Lee Boulevard from Station lot, a
few blocks east of Glebe road, where
it now ends, to the Memorial Bridge.
The other is construction OF right
of way for west bound traffic around
Old Dominion Bank in Cherrydale,
eliminating the hazard Of automobiles
meeting on the dangerous curve now
in the road around the south side OF
the bank.
Step Nearer Completion.
The Lee Boulevard moved a step
nearer completion at the last meeting
of the County Board, when right OF
way for about 800 feet Of the road was
decided to the commonwealth by Ar
lington County.
Under plans Of the State Highway
Commission, the boulevard would
continue east from its present temi-
nus until it reached the west boun-
Diary of Fort Myer, where 1t would
turn left, paralleling and adjacent
to the west boundary At the north
west corner of the fort it is proposed
to run the right of way In q wide
curve to the right, whence 1t will
follow the Arlington & Fairfax Rail-
way right of way eastward to Military
road, across the fiat and to the north
end of Roosevelt Island, whence 1t
would again turn right and proceed
south to the Arlington Memorial
Bridge.
Mile and Half Stretch.
The distance from Station lot TO
the bridge is about mile and half,
and, according to T. w. Ross, Cul-
peper, right of way agent for the
Highway Commission, right of way
for approximately 40 per cent of this
distance now has been obtained by the
State. The property decided over by
the county last week is along the
railroad right of way in the valley
to the north OF Fort Myer.
1t is believed possible that since
the boulevard is nearer completion
now than at any time since its in
ception. the Highway Commission
may take favorable action at its allo-
cation meeting and complete the right
Of way necessary to build the rest Of
the road
Surveys have been made by Ross
men of the proposed two-way highway
through Cherrydale, and now are be-
fore commission officials in Rich
mond. A mass meeting is planned by
Cherrydale citizens some time late
this month or early In January so
that action can be taken on the pro-
posal and the resulting resolutions
sent before the ALLEGATION meeting.
Construction of the roadway for
west-bound traffic on the north side
Of the bank, over the Washington &
Old Dominion Railway right Of way,
which, it is understood. Is to be
abandoned, would leave the Old Do
minion Bank Building on a sort of an
island" between two streams of
traffic.
