Anch. Eagles Defeathered by Sea Hawks in E ast Games
Saturday. January 28

Our Seward High Sea Hawks defeated the Anchorage Eagles. The Sea Hawks, in fine trim, were not threatened until the last quarter, displaying fighting spirit, fast breaking, and SCOT ing skill. All of the Seward team played a fine game, controlling throughout three quarters, con- sistently building up their lead. The cooling off of the varsity when reserves were in the game caused their letdown in the final stanza.
 Both teams showed smooth teamwork, aggressiveness, and good sportsmanship.
 Stan Anderson was Stewards S high point man with Captain Don Steele a close second; Fred Richards racked high for An chorage. The Eagles glued Fultz to Antril Suydam, Stewards deadliest scorer. Stan Ander- sons hook shots brought the

Town Not To
Share School
Road Expense

The County Council on Tuesday
was informed that the Town of
Rockville will not be able to share
with the county the cost of con-
struction of two roads needed for
the Negro High and Elementary
Schools. A letter from the Town
Council to Alexander Hancock,
Director of the Dept. of Finance,
carried the information. Mr.. Han
cock had made the tentative sug-
gestion that the county pay for
the materials, and the town for the
work. He proposed that the roads
be graded to a width of 80 feet
with a 20 foot paved strip.
The Office of Mayor and Council
explained that the request to share
the cost was not received in time
to be incorporated into the town
budget for the fiscal year, and that
expenses arising from the Bypass
construction would delay activities
in laying streets in undeveloped
areas.
Councilman President Frederic
P. Lee stated at Tuesdays meet
ing, that while the County was
willing to share expenses for the
school roads, it did not wish to set
precedent of building roads in
incorporated towns. After gen
eral discussion, no action was taker
on the matter.

Council Adopts
New Road Code
At Tuesday Meet

After several months study the
County Council on Tuesday adopted
a 27-page Countrywide road con-
struction code, and announced that
18 inspectors are now available to
enforce the measure, which is a
compromise between the proposed
ordinance on which public hearings
were held in March, and the old
road code.
Among changes made in the pro-
posed code we're several urged by
county builders who claim that the
requirements of square curbs and
cutters, five foot sidewalks, a min
imum of 28-feet paved width, and
grading for a 60-foot right of way
would result in "a gold plated
street" Effective at once, the
code is described as one of the
most stringent in the State.
AS adopted, the code permits
rolled curbs on residential streets
but requires square curbs at in
tersections, demands 5-foot side
walks, reduces minimum road
width to 26 feet and eliminates
tree planting. New roads still must
be graded to the full width of the
right of way, go feet for second
airy residential streets and 10 feet
for primary streets. The latter

Work Begins
On Bypass
Of Rockville

Barring unforeseen short
ages of materials, the new
Rockville Bypass will prob
ably be open to the public by

not entirely completed. This
word came yesterday from
Rockville's Town Manager
John C. Mcdonald who said
that grading already has
began on the Jim Veirs property
which is located along the north
western part of the BYPASS route.
Work will be less complicated
on the western section of the By
Pass than on the east where sew
cral building will have to be razed
along the route.
The State Roads Commission in
June awarded the Suburban En-
cheering and Construction Co. Of
Branchville the contract for con-
struction of the Ia mile Bypass
planned to carry traffic on U. s..
Route 24O around Rockville's bust
ness section. This company sub
mitted low bid of $212,610 for
the work.
The new highway will begin ct
Montgomery Avenue, follow the
present route of 240 for a short
distance to the intersection with
Maryland Route % and then run
northwest on a new location east
of the present business section to
rejoin the present line of Route
240 a short distance north Of the
