signed by Washington

In planning the new group Of
model studio homes which is on
display today at 132 Longfellow
st. N. w., ]. Charles Shapiro,
Inc. with offices at 159 K st.
N. w., sought to produce the best
planned kitchen for these new
homes and to install every mod
ern convenience possible.
Elaborate Features
In addition to the latest type
electric refrigeration, the most
modern tabletop gas range, the
most elaborate kitchen-cabinet
units, the finest double drain
board sink and new indirect light
ing system, he conceived the idea
of having designed built-in radio
unit for the kitchen which would
be out of the way, and yet allow
the busy housewife to enjoy the
latest news, cooking recipes, Spe'
cial sales announcements, health
talks, music, ETC., while busy with
her daily tasks thus adding pleas
ure to kitchen routine, and elm
mating the possibility of missing
interesting radio grams
throughout the day and evening.
The idea was turned over to the
RlC.A. factory, and a special set
was designed and is now installed
in the kitchen of these new studio
homes, the first special set ever
to be installed in a modern
kitchen cabinet unit.
This is but one of the many
features to be found in this new
home, which will be open for in
spection today and throughout
the coming week, both day and

ROAD. PROJECT
NOW GOING
AHEAD
Latest PWA Operation in Full
Swing, to Enhance
Realty Values

Thousands of residents living in
the Maryland suburbs, and the ex-
elusive country club district, will
benefit by the widening Of River
Road, which is now nearing COM
pletion, according to a recent sur
vey.
Substituted for the proposed
Kenilworth Drive project, which
was abandoned because an ade-
Quate right Of way was not avail
able, the River Road project was
made possible by an allotment
out of the $4,000, 900, 900 highway
fund out Of PWA appropriations.
More than 100 workmen are en-
gagged on the project which will
widen the historic turnpike from
its original breadth of 18 feet to
q full SO feet. The widening will
extend from it's intersection with
Wisconsin Avenue to the District
Line.
Meeting the extension Of the
same road at the District Line it
will be reduced to approximately
"a feet, since Maryland highway
authorities have completed widen
ing of the road up to the village OF
Potomac. PreSSu e is being
brought to bear to carry the i'm
provements up through the north
ern tip Of Montgomery county.
Immediately, however, the road
way will now become an arterial
highway for the districts adjoining
the Chevy Chase, Kenwood, Con-
greSsional, Columbia and Burning
Tree country clubs, where many
Of the most attractive subdivisions
Of the District are situated.
Coming into the District, the
road will be fed with traffic from
the exclusive Wesley Heights and
Spring Valley com m unitles S
through Massachusetts, Avenue to
Forty-sixth Street, which inter-
SectS the pike.
Because of it's attractive vistas,
the old pike will become one of the
scenic drives of the city, t is said,
and will aid in relieving traffic
along other highways which have
been used for pleasure motorists in
recent years.
capt. II. c. whitehurst, direc-
tor of highways, in general
charge Of the work, has found
that in many instances the road.
way was as far as 20 feet off it's
right.of.way. This has neceS-
STATED removing the roadbed to
its own line.
It will be a new highway, in
many respects, Captain White
hurst says. Drainage on the old
pike was defective and in many
places it had sunk far below
grade. This condition is being
remedied in the new construc.
ton, which will raise the grade
level along the entire route and
only a torrent will submerge the
roadway in the future.
Regarding the history Of the
old turnpike, a book could be
written. It was used by George
Washington on many instances
before Pennsylvania Avenue was
surveyed as a thoroughfare and
suitable markers will be placed
along its route by historical So
cieties when it is completed.
