Problems Of Rockville

Major improvements in Rockville during the past
several months effected by the Mayor and Town Coun-
Gil have included the resurfacing sidewalk and gutter
construction Jefferson street. between Washington
and Adams streets Jefferson street runs parallel with
the main thoroughfare and directly behind the Court
House. Completion OF the parking adjacent to

street Between Adams and Van Buren, is practically

streets have also been reSurfaced and improved,
namely Anderson avenue, between Forest and Laird
and one block of Grandin avenue.
These improvements greatly enhance Rockville and
towns on the outskirts Of Washington. Through it
passes route to the Nations Capital practically all
the transient traffic from the West and great amount
from the South. Motorists from Washington drive
through Rockville on business and pleasure trips es-
