Third Of D. C.-Jessup
Section Of Parkway 10
. Baltimore Granded

Grading has been completed on
the first unit of the super-road de-
signed to make life easier for Wash
ington-to- Baltimore drivers.
Writing in the July issue of Civil
Engineering, Harold j. Spelman
Public Roads Administration di-
vision engineer, says six miles OF
the 18a4 mile right of way from
Washington to Jessup road are
ready for the concrete mixer when
funds are available. kx
Plans are ready, he 'says, to COM
plete grading the remaining 12%

To Meet NV York Avenue.
The Maryland State Roads Com
mission will continue the parkway
from Jessup road and complete the
1114 miles to Baltimore, Mr.. Spell
man pointed out.
Plans call for the parkway to con-
meet with New York avenue here
which will link up with the proposed
Annapolis Expressway and possibly
with the Anacostia Parkway, Mr.
Spelman said.
To permit high-speed tratnc
there will be nine highway crossing
structures providing access to the
parkway. In addition, there will be
two crossings of branch line rail-
roads. crossings over the Patuxent
and Little Patuxent Rivers and flve
overpasses at local roads.
Mr.. Spelman pointed out plans
for the structures were approved by
the Fine Arts Commission. The
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, the State Roads Com
mission, the National Park Service,
the county engineer and the Mary
land National Capital Park and
Planning Commission all had a
hand in the new program.
First Step Taken in 1888.
The first step toward the new
parkway, Mr.. Spelman recalls. was
taken in 1888 when preliminary
studies were made by the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
Tripling of traffic volume on the
Baltimore boulevard in less than a
decade emphasized the need for a
modern parkway over the Bonnie
stretch between Washington and
Baltimore, the article explains.
Work on the project started in
1912 on receipt of a 100000 grant
from the Federal Works Admins
tration.

the dawn will be breaking fol-
progress and economy when State

the fact that they can help locali-

sires than we dOs back home, z'
Edwards said s3s.zs
He spoke at the annual meeting
of the Southside Electric Co-opera-
tive. It does not follow, Mr,-Ed.
wafls said, that because superior
legislature can levy taxes that II
must take over local government In
order to spend them.
Lack Enough Home Rule.
"Neither our counties nor our
cities have, in fact, enough home
rule. but both have great deal
more than most people think. ii 1t
were made practicable for them to
use it," he said.
He added that it was true that
the problems to be met by counties
and cities are not identical, but
the responsibilities of and for local
government are about the same.
You are going to demand AND
YOU are going to receive better
health and educational services than
YOU have ever had" Mr.. Edwards
predicted. Neither legally or NOR
ally, will you accept the inequities
longer"
Lists Four Results.
He said a cooperative drive by
both rural and urban residents OF
the State was needed for four re-
suits: % efficient production. 90
more processing, 80 better educa-
ton and health, and a. fewer non
productive workers.
1--WE still think of our State as
an agricultural State. and we hope
we always will be close to the land.
Mr.. Edward said.
But, he added, although Virginia s
cash farm income nearly trebled
from 1910 to 1916. and increased
further last year. agriculture still
accounts for less than IL per cent
