Road Jobs
Contracts
At Record
Construction Awards
Reviewed by Butcher

Approximately $1,047,215 worth
of construction contracts have been
awarded by the County during the
first nine months of the current
calendar year, NJ. A. Butcher, Di
rector of Public Works, told the
County Council this week.
Mr.. Butcher said $629,725 of the
amount has been awarded since
the beginning of the fiscal year,
July l. Bids have been received on
four additional projects, he added,
and it is expected this work will
be placed under contract within
the week. The four projects con-
cerned are a parking lot of Beth
esda, streets in WoodmoOr area,
and two East Schuyler Road pro-
jeets in Silver Spring.
Paving-2l Miles
AS of this week, Mr.. Butcher
stated, 38 street and road con-
tracts have been let in 1851 and
these cover construction or recon-
struction of over 81 miles of paw
ing, in excess of 10 miles of curb
and gutter, four miles of sidewalks
and five miles of storm drainage.
He said these statistics include on
ly projects under the supervision
of Highway Engineering and do
not include work being done by the
Division of Maintenance with
County forces. Neither do they in
clude the County's participation in
the Georgia Avenue widening pro-
ject.
At the same time, Mr.. Butcher
stated that the estimated cost of
work carried over from 1850 is
$564,378,92, and the estimated cost
is based upon either actual cost of
construction for work that has
been completed, or contract price
for work still under way. He said
16 of the contracts awarded this
fiscal year are included in the
1951-52 Capital Budget and that
it is expected all projects now un-
der contract will be completed by
the end of 1851.
More Paving in 81
If this is done, Mr.. Butcher said,
it will represent three times the
amount of paving done during
1850, which was twice the amount
completed in 1949. There will be

Careless Smoker
May Have Caused
Nursing Home Fire

A carelessly tossed cigarette
may have caused the fire at the
Jolliffe Nursing Home on Septem-
Der 18 which took the lives of four
elderly people, Fire Marshal Char
les II. Howe, jr., told the County
Council this week.
He said the structure-sweeping
blaze had not resulted from faulty
wiring or spontaneous combustion,
and added that 1--WE will never be
able to prove" the lighted cigarette
theory suspected by Investigators.
In his report, Marshal Howe said
all patients in the first floor room
where the fire started used tobacco
and had access to smoking mate
rial". He said the employees of
the home did a "heroic job" in
evacuating the 46 patients who
were saved.
Howe mentioned particularly
Mrs. Louise l.. Hill, supervisor, for
heroic actions.
In making the report to the
Council and the County Manager,
Mr.. Howe recommended major
changes in the Code covering hos
pitfalls and nursing homes. He ask
ed that no patients be allowed
above the first floor in structures
not having sprinkler systems; that
licenses should not be- issued for
any new institution unless it is
within 900 feet of a hydrant and
that water storage facilities be
made mandatory. Local fire alarm
systems should be installed, also,
he said, and special smoking rooms
provided.
County Manager McNayr rec
commended that 10 Of the burned
out patients be allowed to reoc-
cupy the unburned portion Of the
home and said he will meet with
county officials and nursing home
operators to discuss the matter.
