Capt. Burdine Gives
Safety Report

At the November meeting Of
the Montgomery County Safety
Board Captain Earl H. Burdins
Of the Montgomery County Police
Department gave report of the
work done to eliminate traffic haz-
ards at various intersections.
Boxwood has been cut down two
feet at Laytonsville Road and
Woodfield Road to eliminate the
traffic hazard caused by obstruc-
ton Of view.
At the intersection of Fairfax
Road and Wilson Lane, three prop
erty owners, of their own volition,
have trimmed and cut back shrubs
and other distractions.
There are other blind intersec-
tons where an effort will be made
to have similar treatment carried
out to eliminate the traffic haz-
ards. Thus far most of the citi-
zens have cooperated enthusiastic
cally with the efforts of the Safety
Board in it's drive to eliminate
these blind intersections. Captain
Burdine has been aided by De-
Warren II. Reynolds, Resident En-
gineer, State Roads Commission,
by Mr.. White, employed by the
county to carry on tree trimming
projects and by the county road
supervisors. The Safety Board
urges citizens generally to take
Lote of the conditions at intersec-
tions and cooperate with county
authorities in eliminating blind
spots by properly trimming trees,
shrubs, weeds and cutting back
hedges.
