County Studies Plans
For Service Road on
Indian Head Highway

The Prince Georges County
Commissioners had under advise
ment today a proposal for a serv-
ice road parallel to and on both
sides of the dual Indian Head
highway from the District line to
Livingston road.
The proposal was made to the
commissioners yesterday by Fred
w. Tuemmler, director Of plan
ming for the Maryland-National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission; E. L. Tarwater, chief
highway engineer of the Washing
ton area for the Federal Public
Roads Administration. and Ber-
Inard Glassman. president Of
Glassmanor, a new housing de-
Ivelopment on the highway.
He pleaded for a commitment
from the commissioners en- county
participation ain actual construc-
ton of the road so it would lie
easier for him to obtain dedication
Iof the remaining right of way.
The commissioners, however, de-
Iclined to commit themselves at
this time.
Indian Head highway was built
by the Federal Government in 1914
as a limited access road between
the District and the Naval Pow
der Plant. Lack of access roads
into the highway. a condition in
sisted upon by the Federal Gov
eminent, has hindered commercial
and residential development along
the highway, according to Mr.
Tuemmler.
! On another matter. Mr.. Tuemm-
Ter disclosed that the park and
planning commission is following
a new procedure in Prince Georges
Of allowing some developers to
build houses facing away from ma
jor roads.
He explained that building per-
mitS for such "back-door" con-
struction stipulate that a wide
strip of trees, bushes and shrubs
be planted between the highway
and the back yards.
The advantages Of such an ar
Irangement, Mr.. Tuemmler added,
are that the highway is not clut-
tered with driveways and service
roads and property owners do not
have to be concerned about the
safety hazard of living along a
busy road.
The issue came up in a letter to
the commissioners from Joseph D
Grigsby of Landover. who COM
planned of houses being built with
their backs to Landover road in
