Arlington Court Ruling Sought
In Street Area Zoning Protest

8-18) classification when it appeared
that petition presented at that
time contained the names of the
owners of less than 20 per cent of
the property within 500 feet.
At last Saturdays board meeting,
however, Mrs. Edward C. Stevens,
251l Eleventh street north, asked
that additional protest signatures
be accepted as property owners did
not know streets would be included
in the overall computations.
County Planning Engineer c. L.
Kinnier said Commonwealth's At
torney Lawrence Douglas had ad-
vised him to include street areas
and that the protestants represented
only 1888 Of the land area. He also
said that If jointly owned land were
stricken because all owners had not
signed, then only BIS per cent Of
the protestants' land lay within the
500-foot zone.
Mr.. Compbell asked the planner
to recompute with streets excluded
and the report was 227 per cent.
Even though he had voted last
month to rezone the property, the
board chairman ruled that the
boards action was invalid inasmuch
as the required four-fifths OF the
members had not approved the
change.

'Ticket:Fixinq'
Traffic Safety Drive
Launched by State
And County Police

ticket fixing" was banned today
In Prince Georges County as off,
cials of seven suburban towns and
the County Trade Association
launched a traffic safety drive in
cooperation with county and State
police
Plans for the drive were mapped
at meeting in the County Service
Building Hyattsville, last night at
for appointment of full-time corps
of magistrates, for resurfacing the
Washington Baltimore boulevard
from College Park to the District
line, and for rebate of fines by the
State to towns in all cases for vio-
lations of State traffic laws in which
town officers make arrests.
Drive Declared Vital.
County Police Supt Ralph Brown
said the campaign to curb traffic
violations is vital if accidents are
TO be curbed. He urged that it be
waged vigorously and that ticket
fixing" be strictly tabooed. Sergt.
M. M. Pimcke of the State police
assured cooperation as did all the
towns represented.
Supt. Brown said the main viola
tions were going through red lights,
making Illegal left turns, ignoring
stop signs, speeding and not keep
ing to the right of the center line.
1t was decided to notify magis-
trates that the campaign is under
way and that their "co-operation"
with the police would be appreciated.
The suggestion was made that six
fulltime magistrates be appointed
together with one swing" Judge to
act as substitute, so there would
be magistrates on hand at all times
at county police headquarters in
Hyattsville and Upper Marlboro. It
was said that under present condi-
tions officers making arrests often
must spend considerable time find-
ing magistrate.
Resurfacing Funds Needed.
It was announced the State Roads
Commission has arranged to resur-
face the boulevard from Baltimore
to College Park, but has said it Is
without funds to continue the work
to the District line at this time. The
group, however, will urge the COM
mission to find" the money. The
condition of the thoroughfare from
College Park to the District line was
declared bad as the result Of heavy
wartime traffic.
Another meeting to report pro-
gress will be held at p. M, We'd

Delay Is Asked
On GIenbrook
Contract
Residents CompIoin
Project Will Benefit
Only q Few Families
By Mrs. J. Reed BrodIey

A Today delay in awarding con-
tract for storm sewer on Glen
brook road has been agreed to by the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission at the request of cit
izens of Edgemoor and Kenwood.
The delay will permit further
study by committee from the two
communities and the commissions
engineer to determine how best to
spend the s53,o84 allotted to the
project.
The request was made last night
at a meeting in the Kenwood Club
attended by William H. Prescott,
county commissioner; Lacy Shaw,
suburban sanitary commissioner;
Harry Shaw, deputy chief engineer
for the commission, and a number
of residents of the two communities.
The meeting had been called to
determine the extent of drainage
relief which might be expected on
the completion of the proposed
project along Glenbrook road.
Claims Few Will Benefit.
Donal Chamberlain, chairman of
the meeting, contended and the
commission officials agreed that the
proposed project will relieve the
drainage situation for only a few
families and may make drainage
conditions worse south of Audubon
road
The citizens felt that it might
be better to use part of the money
available to deepen and straighten
| the stream that now serves as a
| storm sewer and remove several
obstructions, reserving the re-
mainder until such time as addi-
tional funds would be available to
do more complete job.

Parkway Leg
In County Gets
Green Light
New Rood Will Run
From District Line
To Great Falls

President Truman late yesterday
gave a green light to early construc-
ton of the Montgomery County leg
OF the George Washington Memorial
Parkway, proposed to run from the
District line to a point above Great
Falls, by signing into law Washing
ton regional parkway legislation.
The law removes from the basic
measure which set up the parkway
project in 1890 wording which pre-
vented construction of the scenic
roadway in Maryland with alfred
eral funds. The wording of the
basic act did not apply to Virginia.
The measure also blankets into
existing parkway plans extension Of
the Anacostia Park system up the
valley of the Eastern Branch in
Maryland as we'll as Indian Creek;
projection of the Oxon Run Parkway
from the District line to Marlboro
road, and expansion of the George
Washington Parkway up the valleys
OF Cabin John Creek, Little Falls
Branch and Willett Run.
Signing the act came less than a
week after the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
land purchase agency for the park
way, announced 1t would ask the
Justice Department for early con-
demnation Of remaining land needed
for the right of way in Montgomery
County.
This announcement was concur
rent with word from the National
Park Service that it would seek road
construction funds for the Cabin
John-Great Falls section of the
drive in the lo48 budget.
The George Washington Memorial
Parkway is planned as scenic dual
road drive on both sides of the
Potomac from Great Falls to Mt.
Vernon. 1t is one of four national
parkways in the country. All are
under way with special funds appro-
priated each year by Congress.
Stream valley parkway extensions
authorized by the act are also ex-
pected to receive early attention by
the planning group as well as it's
opposite number in Maryland, the
Maryland Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
