ROUTE APPROVED
County Plans Construction
to SuppIant Highway
Closed by Airport.

Approval Of an engineers report on
the route for q substitute thooughfare
for the closed Military road across the
Washington Airport was voted yester-
day by the Arlington (Va) County
Board.
The project will be included in q
500, 1000 program of Public Works Ad-
ministration construction now being
planned by county ofiicials. The report
on the course OF the new road was

900 for the right-of-way Of Military
road crossing the landing field. Since
that time the thoroughfare has been
closed to traffic.
