Funds Blocked

House Denies Million
For D. C.-Fort Meade
Section of 6-Lune Road

An appropriation by Congress tc
advance the work on the Wash
ington- Meade section of the
express parkway linking Wash
ington and Baltimore apparently
will have to wait until next year
Representative Fallon, Demo.
crat, of Maryland, who was un-
successful in an attempt to get
S2,0O0,000 for the parkway in the
second deficiency bill passed By
the House yesterday, said he has
hopes for an appropriation next
year.
Chairman Wilmington of the
House Public Works Committee
said 1t is planned to hold hear
1ngs on the project next year. He
said that heretofore local govern
ments have contributed to high
way projects and that Maryland's
attitude toward the Fort Meade
Washington end of the project
would have much to do with the
outcome. He stressed that Con-
gress has never passed on the
project.
The parkway is designed to
carry six lanes of traffic, three
In each direction separated by a
park strip. Maryland has been
assigned the 11-mile section from
Baltimore to Fort Meade.
1t was planned that the Fed
eral Government would construct
the highway from Fort Meade to
the District line at cost of about
s11 100000. The length of this
latter section is Is miles.
sc Miles Completed.
Maryland has completed its sec
ton of the parkway from Balti-
more to Hanover road, distance
OF Sc miles. There remains a
4.25-mile section to be built from
Hanover road to Jessups road at
Fort Meade.
The Federal Government al
ready has spent 100000 on land
acquisition and grading in the
Fort Meade Washington section
Mr.. Fallon said. All the land has
been acquired and about 6 miles of
the 18 have been cleared and
graded.
This work was begun as a war
time emergency measure by the
Public Roads Administration in
September, 1912. Those familiar
with the work say that the grad
ing already done may have been
damaged by erosion.
To Enter Via New York Avenue.
Also remaining is the work to
be done to provide entrances onto
the parkway from the District and
Baltimore
The highway will enter Wash
ington over a section of New York
avenue NV, almost 2 miles in
length which still has to be con-
structed. This will extend New
York avenue from Bladensburg
road to the District line.
Douglas Brinkley, planning en-
gineer of the District Highway
Department, said in addition to
the street construction a viaduct
will have to be built across the
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks in
the National Training School
grounds and a bridge will have
to be constructed over the Ana
costa River.

with the town OF StevenSvllle. The
total length of the bridge and Its
approaches will be IL miles. The
distance between shore lines is
4.3 miles.
Second Court Action.
Mr.. Masson's suit was the Sec
ond court action which attempted
to prevent the bridge construction.
Both suits were based mainly on
the objections of shipping inter-
ests. Engineers decided earlier
that the bridge was a better
method Of spanning the bay than
a tunnel. The Army Engineers,
convinced that bay navigation will
not suffer, approved bridge plans.
The construction is being A.
nanced with the proceeds of bonds
authorized by the 1947 General
Assembly. The bonds will be re-
tired from tolls of the bay bridge,
as well as the spans across the
Susquehanna River at Havre de
Grace and the Potomac at Nor
gantown.
