BY MERCH ANTS.
State Board to Hear
Kensington Plea

ROCKVILLE, Md, Aug. 81.
The Maryland State Roads Com
mission met in Kensington today
with the Businessmen AsSocia-
tion to discuss the feasibility Of
having grade crossings as well as
overpaSSeS.
When IA school children lost
their lives in 1885 at a crossing
near Rockville, aroused citizens
demanded an overpass from the
state roads commission.
OVERPAsS BUILT
The overpass was built and has
been suspended above the tracks
for the past two years without
approaches. This month ap-
proaches are being completed.
When connected with the Vier's
Mill Road, Montgomery county
will have a new two-lane highway
and a direct connection from
Rockville to Wheaton Road,
which will save motorists nearly
three miles when going from
Silver Spring to Rockville.
Just as this new piece OF high
way engineering is about to be
completed, word comes from
Chairman j. Glenn Beall, OF the
roads commission, that Mont
gomery county citizens living in
Rockville and Kensington have a
change of heart concering grade
crossings.
Kensington, which has also
been the recipient OF modern
overpass construction, has also
requested the commission to re-
move the barricade blocking the
old grade crossing on st. Paul
Street.
The Kensington BuSinesSmen's
Association is reported to have
written the state roads commission
that the closing Of the grade
crossing had split the town in
two caused "incalculable dam
age" to business interests and
untold inconvenience" to citi-
