Backing Of ; Agencies
Spurs BIadensburg
Channel Project

Endorsements this week by three
official bodies have given impetus to
the proposed $s,o00,000 Anacostia
River flood control projects In
Prince Georges County.
A report prepared by the Army
Engineers received formal approva.
by the Prince Georges County com.
missioners. the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission and tht
Maryland-National Capital Parl
and Planning Commission.
Under the proposal, the Anacostis
River would be dredged to provide
channel 80 feet wide and eight
feet deep, to Bladensburg. Levees
would be constructed to prevent
flooding during high tides and a
basin would be created near Bla-
densburg for pleasure craft and
commercial vessels.
To Cost Nearly $4,000, 900.
1t is also proposed to improve
park land along the stream.
The plan calls for Federal ap-
preparation of $4,531 200 and total
non-Federal contributions of 81, 1885,.
100. OF the latter amount, the Pub
lie Roads Administration would pro-
vide $494, 400. The remaining non
Federal sum covers cost of land
much of which has already been
purchased by the planning commits
sion.
The State Roads Commission
would be expected to spend approx
mately $99O,000 for highway and
bridge construction, but about half
of this amount would come from
Federal road funds allocated to
Maryland.
Expense to be Spread:
The boat basin and access roads.
docks and warehouses, would cost
an estimated $1,272,1 $50. The Sani-
tary Commission said yesterday that
this expense would be spread over a
period of several years, with the
project developed in stages.
The commission also said this
phase of the flood control project
would produce revenue, since the
docks and warehouses would be
rented to commercial users. The
report specifies that the Coast Guard
be asked to spend $4,000 for aids
to navigation.
Advocates said that in addition
to providing flood control, the pro-
iect should attract commercial and
industrial development because OF
water-rail-truck terminal facilities.

Montana labor news., 1948-06-17

In the last fortnight, we have watched the
Republican presidential hopefuls try to make
the Communist Party and Communism the
major issue for the National Presidential
election this year.
1t is a sad commentary that one of our
great political parties is asking it's members
to choose between candidates on the basis Of
their attitude toward the Communist Party.
Are they SO afraid that American citizens
will be bamboozled by a handful of psyche
pathic malcontents that they see no other i'm
portant issue in this campaign?
Like most trade unions, the Machinists
met the Communist challenge years ago.
Communists have made no Roadway in our
union. We were successful in our fight
against the Communists because we met them
on the issues. BY running a progressive.
democratic union, we give them no issues to
exploit.
