ROCKVILLE, Md, Oct. o..
More than the usual presidential
election interest will be apparent
among voters of Montgomery
county on November 3. since they
will be asked to vote on the ques'
ton of a fourth judge for the
Sixth judicial circuit of Maryland,
of which Montgomery county is a
part.
Although this is in the form Of
an amendment to the State con-
stitution and must be voted on
throughout the State, it is felt by
local political and legal leaders
that it will attract very little at
tention outside of the Sixth Dis
trict, which is made up of Mont
gomery and Frederick counties.
Montgomery's unusual interest
in the proposal arises from the
fact that if the fourth judge is
provided for, he will be selected
from this county.
Under the present setup with
three judges for the circuit, two
are from Frederick county, while
the third is from Montgomery.
The two Frederick judges sit in
court in that county except on &C.
casions when a full bench is re-
quired in Montgomery county.

COLLEGE ASKS
ROAD CLOSED

Petition for closing of the tree
arched section of Lincoln Rd. N.
E., between Franklin st. and
Michigan Ave-, characterized as
one of the most beautiful drive
ways in the city, occupied the
attention of the District Com
missioners again yesterday.
Trinity College, which owns
the land on both Sidees of the
road and which has been un-
successful in several previous
petitions for the closing in re-
cent year, again renewed its re-
quest at a public hearing in the
District Building board room.
Through Attorney Daniel w.
O'Donoghue, jr., the college con-
tended that to keep the roadway
open would retard development
at the institution and would per
NIT a traffic hazard to remain
in the neighborhood of the
school.
The college, joined by Catholic
University and several other re-
ligious societies, offered to dedi-
cate to the District sufficient land
for the opening of Franklin
Street from Fourth Street to
Michigan Avenue, and additional
land to round out curves at
Fourth Street and Michigan Ave
nue. in return for the closing. The
land offered in the swap" COM
prises $1,000 square feet more
than is included in the stretch of
Lincoln Road.
Glenwood Cemetery, which had
opposed the proposed closing at
previous hearings, withdrew its
objections today. However. resi-
dents and civic organizations op-
posed the closing on the ground
that it was planned to develop
Lincoln Road into one of the i'm
portant highways of the North
east section:

His idea had been highly sue
