Seek Underpass
For Pedestrians

Efforts to have pedestrian
underpass constructed under the
Baltimore and Ohio railroads tracks
"in line with either Twenty-sixth
or Evarts streets, NE" are still
being made by the National Gate
way Citizens Association, according
to William P. Thomas, jr., president.
Formerly the Bladensburg Road
Citizens Association and continuing
under that name until this year,
the group, since its formation in
May, 1896, has held the project as
one of the necessary needs in the
vicinity. Persons wishing to cross
these main line tracks now have a
choice of crossing the Queens
Chapel road bridge or the South
Dakota avenue bridge, some six
squares apart, or else risking going
over the tracks itself, Mr.. Thomas
said.
The association was notified dur
ing February of this year by Capt.
H. C. Whitehurst, director of the
highway department, that a survey
of the pedestrian crossing near that
point to determine the need of an
underpass was being considered.
According to Mr.. Thomas, i'm
provements are also being sought
on several streets in that area, call
ing for curbing and cutters on the
unfinished streets.
Two new members, j. D. DAN
delet and Mrs. Ethel A. Colvin, were
admitted to the association during
the past week.

Lanier McLachlen was elected
president Of the bank in 1922, when
