STATE ROADS PUSHES STUDIES
FOR BALTIC. : WASHINGTON ROAD
Urgent Need For New Highway Stressed By
Governor 0COnor; Public Roads Experts
Sitting Data Now Available

Studies md surveys to deter
mine the most advisable course to
follow in an effort to improve
situation between Baltimore and
Washington through the building
of super-highway are being
pushed by the State Roads Com
mission, according to Ezra B
Whitman, Chairman.
Urgent need for the road has
been stressed by Governor
O'Conor, who recently said: SIT
is of such vast Importance to SO
many people both in Maryland
and out of Maryland that ] am
anxious to see all efforts put
forth to have this project go
forward"
All data on the proposed high
way which has been accumulated
during the past ten years has
been placed by the State Roads
Commission in the hands of two
expert consultants of the Public
Roads Administration, and they
have been requested to make their
recommendations as soon as pos
sible Mr.. Whitman said. The
experts are Gilmore d. Clarke,
landscape architect, and member
of the faculty Of Cornell's En-
gineering School, and Jay Down.
er, of New York City, who has
made many of the highway plans
for New York City.
Among the data they have be-
fore them are designs for a pro-
posed eight-lane super-highway,
connecting Baltimore and Wash
ington, completed last year by the
j. E. Greiner Company, and rec
concentrations by the State Plan
ming Commission.
The Greiner Company proposal
would connect the eight-lane road
with bridge across the Pa
tapsco River, from Fairfield to
Canton, and lead out to the new
dual lane Philadelphia Highway.
This would require a toll charge
for both highway and bridges OF
approximately 80 to So cents.
It was estimated last year
when the Greiner Company pro-
posal was submitted, that the cost
of boulevard and bridge would be
around $50 100000, and that the
toll charge would pay principal
and interest, eventually becoming
the property of the State and a
free highway.
A proposal also has been sub

mitted by Robert M. Reindollar,
Assistant Chief Engineer of the
State Roads Commission, which
calls for the highway to pass to
the north and west of Baltimore
County without going through it.
While the route of the Balti-
more Washington Boulevard has
not been determined, it would be
natural to expect it to run
through those large tracts which
the Federal Government has ac-
quired between Baltimore and
Washington, including Fort Meade
and Greenbelt, Mr.. Whitman
pointed out. If this route is fol-
lowed the State could save enor-
nous rights of way costs.
An Act passed by the 1911
Legislature authorized the State
Roads Commission to construct a
new Baltimore Washington high
way.
Governor O'Conor has stated
that while he would like to see
such highway constructed as a
free road, he would approve a
toll road if it was necessary.

WARN MOTORISTS
TO PAY HEED TO
SCHOOL BUS LAW

Now that schools throughout the
State have reopened, the Maryland
Traffic Safety Commission directs
attention to the appearance of
school buses on the highways, and
IS lmpressing upon the motorist
the Importance of observing the
School Bus Law.
In every section Of the State.
Tor the coming ten months. the
school bus, loaded with a precious
cargo of youth, will make up an
important part of the traffic ON our
highways" E. R. McShane, execu-
tive secretary of the Maryland
Traffic Safety Commission, stated
The problem of protecting these
school children is greater now than
ever before, due to the increased
traffic from other sources. There
fort, it is most vital that motorists
observe this law if they would
avoid accidents"
AS means to protect these chill
dren the law is quoted in part, as
follows:
THE driver of vehicle upon
highway upon meeting
or overtaking any school bus
which has stopped on the high
way for the purpose of receiving
or discharging any school child
or children, shall come to a full
stop at least ten feet from the
school bus, either in front or
rearthereof, as the case may be,
and such vehicle shall remain
standing until the children are
received or discharged and the
bus has again started"
On dual highways the drivers of
automobiles are required only to
stop when approaching a bus from
the rear. Failing to obey the re-
strictions of this law, involve not
less than a S. fine, with a maxi
mum fine of $780,

Eue,, Poultry
CoRatriotic;;
Eggs Multiply

oCHICAGO, June .12-tR-
The nations hens are doing their
part in the national defense pro-
gram.
Government efforts to in
crease Dairy and poultry pro-
duction are meeting a cackling
chorus of assent from barnyards,
where egg laying Is at record
levels, poultry trade statistics
showed today.
The crop reporting board of
the department of agriculture
said egg production in farm
flocks reached a record June !
high this year of 53.5 eggs for
each 100 hens.
HUMOR HENS
In line with the governments
program to supply Great Britain
with eggs under the lend-lease
act, hens are receiving all posi-
BILE encouragement to come to
the aid of embattled democracy.
The government has set sup
port levels under wholesale egg
prices and is making, through
the federal surplus commodities
corporation, large purchases ov-
er the country. In the last sew
eral months federal agents have
bought about rs, 100000 dozens
of she'll eggs, 100000 pounds
of frozen eggs and 100000
pounds of dried eggs.
UP 8 CENTS
Government operations, as
well as increased consumer pur-
chasing power, have raised egg
prices about 8 cents a dozen in
the Chicago wholesale market
since the years low point in
mid-February. At about "a
cents q dozen, wholesale, eggs
here are about 8 cents higher
than a year ago.
While the hens undoubtedly
ignore government Vaccinations
to support prices, they have a
fundamental interest in one re-
suit of this program-better
food for hens.
NATIONAL SPIRIT
Poultry farmers, seeing an i'm
proved market, are devoting in
creased attention to their flocks.
Hens are receiving more food,
of better quality and with addi-
tional energetic vitamins. The
hens have responded with a
spirit of national unity.
The June egg laying record
compares with an output of SO
eggs for each 100 hens year
ago. The 1930-1939 June av-
erage was sos eggs.
Aggregate production from
January / to June l, the crop
reporting board said, is also
largest on record. During this
period hens have produced about
6 per cent more eggs than last
year and 2 per cent more than
the previous record, established
in 1898
