KENSINGTON, Nd, Sept. II.
After numerous delays an over
head bridge to eliminate the
hazardous railroad grade crossing
was started here today.
Approved by the Maryland State
Roads Commission several years
ago, lack Of funds held up the
Kensington grade crossing project
until President Roosevelt ear.
marked a portion of the Public
Works fund for crossing elimina.
ton more than a year ago.
The contracting firm of Jarboe
and Houghton, Of Mechanicsville.
Md, were the low bidders on the
project with an estimate of $27,-
$40. The contract was awarded to
them early last June.
Concrete and Steel
The structure, a concrete and
steel span, will be erected about
200 yards west Of the present
crossing, the scene Of numerous
fatal accidents during recent
years. The crossing was branded
by the American Automobile AsSo-
citation last year as one of the
most hazardous in the greater
Washington area.
While the bridge will be located
at Lincoln Avenue, it will connect
directly with Connecticut Avenue
as a link in present plans for ex-
tending the avenue from KenSing-
ton through to Aspen Hill on
Georgia Avenue extended. Prac-
tically all rights of way necessary
for extending the highway have
been obtained and presented to
the county.
Tract RezOned
Since the contract was awarded
large tract along approaches to
the bridge has been rezoned from
residential to commercial, and
plans are being made for develop
ment of a modern shopping Gen.
ter at this point.
While the Kensington structure
is supposed to be completed in
100 working days, similar prof.
ect has been under construction
for several weeks and is now near
ing completion.
The Rockville project will elimi-
nate the Norbeck road grade
crossing over the Baltimore and
Ohio tracks where more than a
year ago, IA Williamsport, Md,
high school students were killed
when a school bus was struck by a
speeding express train.

SLAYER OF SIX
GETS RESPITE

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Sept.
II. QN.SO.-Leo Hall, scheduled
to die on the gallows at the State
prison here early today, got a
temporary respite at the eleventh
hour when the scheduled execution
was postponed until II p. m. to-
night.
Hall was convicted Of the
Erland's Point mass murder Of six
victims. He was sentenced to the
gallows chiefly through the testi-
mony of Peggy Peterson Paulos, ex-
waitress, who testified the long
shoreman-prize fighter forced her
to accompany him to an Erland's
Point cottage on robbery mission
under threat Of death.
Warden j. McCauley decided on
the delay primarily to give Halls
mother time to reach the prison
for a last visit with her son.
Mrs. Paulos testified at Halls
trial that he began the orgy of
Staying when he believed one of
the six victims recognized her. She
was indicted with Hall on charges
Of first degree murder, but was
acquitted.
