On Traffic Charges

By q Staff Correspondent OF The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, April
16-Upholding an earlier police
court decision, a Prince Georges
County Circuit Court jury has re-
turned a verdict of guilty against
Albert Anderson, So, former county
policeman, on charges of reckless
driving and driving under the in.
fuence of liquor.
Judge Joseph G. Mattingly i'm
posed fine of 500 on the drunken
driving charge and $50 on the reck-
less driving count.
In Police Court Judge Walter L.
Green had imposed similar fines on
Mr.. Anderson after the trial last
December but suspended the 500
penalty. However, Mr.. Anderson
decided to appeal the case.
The case grew out of a collision
last December between an automo-
bile driven by Mr.. Anderson and that
of Philip Brooke, 80, of 1887 D street
NE. on Landover road near Chev-
erly.

Relocation Of Roads
Weighed by Howard
And Montgomery
Highways Affected
By Proposed Dam
Across Putuxent

The Montgomery and Howard
County Md commissioners today
were considering the relocation of
three roads to be affected by the
erection of a proposed dam across
the Patuxent River, dividing line
between the counties.
The question was discussed at a
luncheon meeting yesterday at the
Olney Inn, sponsored by the WASH
ington Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion, which is to build the dam, and
attended by officials from Mont
gomery, Howard and Prince Georges
Counties.
Harry r. Hall. chief engineer of
the commission, explained that por-
tionS of three roads which extend
through Montgomery and Howard
Counties will be flooded by the dam
reservoir. They are the Sunshine
Clarksville road, the road from
Clarksville to Triadelphia and the
Triadelphia road
New Road Proposed.
Mr.. Hall said the commission pro-
poses to replace the flooded part Of
the Sunshine-C -Clarksville road, in
cluding a bridge, by building IL
miles of new road and relocating the
bridge over the PatuXent by placing
it on the dam. At the same time
OPT mile of the road will be aban-
doned in Montgomery County and
It's miles in Howard County.
Construction of a new bridge and
0.21 mile of new road will replace
that portion of the Clarksville-Tria-
delphia road which will be affected.
All of this road is in Howard County.
The portion of the Triadelphia
road, including a bridge, which will
be flooded, will be replaced by new
road, 146 miles long, and bridge
from the Triadelphia road to the
Sunshine Cooksville road This will
mean the abandonment of 0.18 mile
of road in Montgomery County and
026 mile in Howard County.
Construction of the dam, which
will be situated opposite Brighton
in Montgomery County, is expected
to begin next month.
Reservoir to Cover 775 Acres.
The dam reservoir, which will back
up the river for more than miles,
will contain 6l2 billion gallons of
water 1t will cover IT'S acres.
A pumping station for the pro-
posed dam already has been con-
structed by the commission near the
dam site, Mr.. Hall said. Another
pumping station and filter plant
will be built near Laurel, he added.

con were Montgomery County Com
