PARK BODY SEEKS
GRANTS FOR ROADS
Two New Routes Planned to
Benefit Kensington and
Takoma Park.
BY JACK ALLEN,

SILVER SPRING, Md, June a.
Federal funds will be sought by the
Maryland National Capital Park and
Planning Commission for construction
Of two new roadways, providing Ken
sington and Takoma Park residents
with more direct access to Sligo and
Rock Greek parkways.
In addition, the commission hopes
to obtain grants for concrete pave
ments along both Of the projected
roadways and to convert an existing
road into park drive, Park Commits
sioner Lacy Shaw and Chief Engineer
Irving c. Root declared today.
Plans for the five proposals are COM
plete and a request for grant from
the new Federal highway funds soon
to be made available to the State
Roads Commission will be forwarded
to the latter body Immediately upon
Endorsement of the plans by the Mont
gomery County Commissioners, who
are to consider them Tuesday.
It is estimated that $79,470 will be
required for the work.
One of the new road projects calls
for constructing q quarter-mile link
connecting Maple avenue in Takoma
Park with Sligo drive, which leads
through Sligo Greek Valley into Prince
Georges County. The other provides
for about mile of roadway running
from the Kensington playground to
Beach drive, in Rock Greek Park.
Oncials estimate the first proposal
will cost $17,50O, with an additional
$10,57O for q pavement bordering the
road, while the second will require q
grant of $4,000 for the roadway and
$21 400 for an adjoining pavement.
The road which the commission
hopes to surface is rough road be-
tween Maple and Sligo avenues, IN
Section 1-B of Sligo Greek parkway
The work will cost about $4,000.

Increased industrial activity, higher
prices for agricultural products and
Government spending have con-
tributed to raise the national income
for the Spring Of 1885 to point
higher than that Of the comparable
period during any Of the three pre-
ceding years. This comparison was
made public last night by the Federal
Reserve Board in issuing its monthly
review for May.
While statistics were lacking on
the national income, the board said
that for the first four months of
1895 the volume of industrial output
was per cent larger than q year
ago, substantially larger than In
either 1882 or 1888, and about the
same as in 1891.
profits of large industrial concerns
during the first quarter of 1885 ex-
ceeded those Of any other similar
period since $780," the board said. 1t
noted, however, that railroads and
public utilities showed Q recession
from 1894.
The board pointed particularly to
the high level Of automobile produc-
ton during the Spring. 1t said as
semblies through May totaled about
1,950,000 as compared with about
100000 in the same period Of 1887
and 1888, and 2,700,000 in 1929.
The board said that in April the
total number employed in this coun-
try was about the same as q year age
and considerably above the low Level
prevailing in 1882 and early In 1888
The volume Of unemployment con-
tinued to be high, 1t added. however,
and Approximately 10000, 900 people
were on the relief rolls in April"
Member bank reserve balances m
creased during May to $4,000, 600, 000
and excess reserves rose to above g..
0,000, 900. Both figures are the
largest in the history of the system,
the board declared. Recent Federal
Reserve Bank statements have indi-
Gated a further rise in reserve balances,
bringing the excess to $4,000, 600, 900.
The board said the lowest interest
level ever recorded for long time Gov
eminent bonds was reached May /,
when the yield dropped to 2.58 per
cent computed on the basis Of cur
rent market prices. In the meantime,
new securities publicly offered In the
country during the first four months
Of the year totaled s1.o31 ,o0o, 900, the
largest volume for this period since
1881.
