County May Act
On Bonds for
FreewayT Today
Col. Lee Urges Move
After Bradley Hills
Group Asks Delay

Action on request of Park Com
missioner E. Brooke Lee that a
bond issue be authorized for ac-
QUESTION of rights of way for a
proposed northwest freeWay was
slated today by the Board of Mont
gomery County Commissioners after
receiving delegation of Bradley
Hills residents who seek a delay.
The delegation, headed by Louis
A. Gravelle, asked the commissioners
to postpone the authorization of
funds until after the exact route of
the dual-lane, limited access high
way has been established by the
State Roads Commission and the
Federal Public Roads Administra-
ton.
Chairman Alfred D. Noyes told the
delegation the mere act of author
izing funds, which the State is to
repay the county later, does not
IN itself constitute an approval of
tentatively established route
within an 800-foot wide strip pass
ing through Bradley Hills.
Comedies Loss Of Control.
In response to question from
Preston E. Wire, Mr.. Noyes conceded
that once funds are made available
to the State, the County Commits
sioners will have little if any say in
the location OF the freeWay.
Blair Lee, editor of the MARYLAND
News and son of the county political
leader who owns the newspaper,
said he thought the request of the
delegation for temporary delay
was most logical" He also sue-
gested that the Commissioners
might append a reservation to their
resolution to make the funds avail
able to the State only after adequate
hearings had been held by the
Roads Commission.
The democratic processes of gov
ernment demand that much of the
board he said.
Unable to Determine Route.
Mr.. Gravelle said that residents
OF Bradley Hills and other sections
have never been able to learn from
the roads commission, the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission or any other
source Just where the proposed
route will be. The first notice
Bradley Hills residents had of the
project, he asserted, was when sur
Veyors started climbing over our
fences and going through our
yards
William H. Triplett of the Landon
School for Boys said officials there
are desperately Interested" but
are In the dark and were taken bv
surprise by the project. 1t would
utterly destroy US" he said, if it
passes through school property.
After the appearance of the dele
cation the board resumed routine
business, but Mr.. Noyes indicated
the request of Mr.. Lee for immedi-
ate approval of the bond authorize
ton would be considered later TODAY
