Roads Surveyed
ForPeaceCross
Flood Relief
Stute Commission
Explores Plan to
Raise Highways

state ROADS commission en-
gineers are surveying the Oft
flooded Peace Cross at Bladens-
burg to determine whether it
would be feasible to raise the road
about three feet to keep the busy
traffic moving even in rainy
weather.
That was disclosed last night
by Marcus F. H. Greenhorne,
Bladensburg town engineer. He
put the proposal for raising the
road level before the commission
two weeks ago.
He pointed out, in a report to
the Bladensburg town council last
night. however. that his proposal
to the commission was made as
a private engineer. He said the
council had ignored the proposal
when he brought it up last month
and appeared to be interested ex-
clusively in an So million to $40
million flood control project for
the whole Anacostia River.
Another Week for Survey.
Mr.. Greenhorne said it probably
will take the roads commission
engineers another week to COM
plete their survey. 1t probably will
be at least two weeks, he added,
before he knows whether his plan
is accepted.
Mr.. Greenhorne estimates his
plan could be financed for $780,
600. He said, however, the COM
mission seems interested in add
ing such things as retaining walls
and sidewalks to the plan, which
might run the cost as high as
100000.
He emphasized that raising the
road level will not give any flood
relief to property owners in the
area. He offered the idea merely
as solution to the traffic conges-
ton and delay caused every time
heavy rains block the Peace Cross,
where Highway so and U. S. Al
ternate l merge.
u. S. Funds Sought.
Bladensburg Councilman Leon
ard G. Simpson said the council
has received assurances from
Maryland Senators O'Conor and
Butler that they would try to get
the Senate to vote $25,000 for an
engineering survey of the Ana
costa River flood control problem.
That appropriation was de-
feated in the House last month.
