Plans for construction of hos
pital and nurses home in Prince
Georges County today had been
virtually completed after the Board

lied the purchase of 30-acre tract
in Cheverly.
Construction will start, however,
only if owners of the land accept
the commissioners offer to pay 5000
an acre. Board Chairman William
A. Carson said $1,000 an acre is
being asked.
The site is part of an estate owned
by the heirs of the late Ernest A.
Boeger of Washington and is located
about 200 feet west of the Cheverly
water towner. The location has
been approved by the Federal Works
Agency, which is to build the l00-bed
hospital and 50-bed nurses home.
Five Tracts Considered.
The tract is one of five which had
been considered by the County Hos
pital Committee, of which DR.. James
G. Sasscer, president of the County
Medical Society, is. chairman.
A 2O-acre site adjoining the
Prince Georges County Golf and
Country Club previously had been
selected by the committee, but had
been turned down by the FWA be-
cause of inadequate sewer and water
facilities.
Mr.. Carson explained the hos
pital and nurses home will occupy
approximately 31a acres OF the
Cheverly site with the remainder
being turned into a park. A road
also is planned from Landover road
to the institution.

$6l2 900 for the two buildings, will
build them and then lease them te
the county at a nominal sum- II
was estimated the cost of construc-
tion would total s587 900, the balanct
being set aside as contingent fund
While the hospital and nurses
home are being built, the county
commissioners will establish Hos
pital Board and appoint superin'
tendent for the entire project.
Selection of the Prince Georges
site will leave only that in Mont,
gomery County to be chosen in th'
Metropolitan Area. The Arlington
County site has been selected OF
land previously purchased by th'
County Hospital Association there
while additional facilities in Alex
andria and at Gallinger are to
included in additions to existin
buildings.
The commissioners also approve,
a petition by residents of Woodle,

Bus Lines Face Huge Task
In Change To 35-Mile Speed

For years the bus lines, like other
ferns of transportation, have been
developing their coaches and organ
izations to give faster transporta-
ton with greater safety. AS re-
suit, running time has been dras-
tically cut from year to year and
the travelling public has come to
depend on buses for safe, conven-
lent transportation, and the bus
companies have kept pace with the
modern demands of a fast-moving
age
Today, in order to conserve preci-
ous rubber and other materials vital
to our war effort, it has suddenly
become necessary to drastically re-
duce the speed of highway trans
portation. In commenting on the

fense Transportation, which allowed
the bus lines until October Is to
adjust their schedules to the 35-
mile-per-hour limit, F. w. Acker-

Greyhound Lines, pointed out some
of the difficulties faced by his or
ganization in complying with the
order. Said Mr.. Alderman:
1.-The task faced by Pacific Grey
hound is a colossal one. Thousands
upon thousands of arrival and de-
parture times must be changed,
throughout the entire west. Hun
dreds of connections must be worked
out at transfer points, all meal and
rest stops rearranged. The working
hours of drivers and depot employ
ees must be readjusted to meet the
changed schedules. Then complete
new timetables must be prepared
and printed. These are major
changes, but in addition there are
countless other difficulties caused
by the speed reduction that must
be ironed out. All of this we are
doing as quickly as it is humanity
possible. There is the acute short
age of trained personnel; also the
difficulty in obtaining new equip
ment. Today our buses are already
carrying above normal capacity,
and the slower schedules will un-
doubtedly result in some inconveni-
ence.
''The war effort must be placed
before personal convenience Mr..
Ackerman concluded. Greyhound

these present conditions and re-
quests the leniency of the public
