The brides slippers were lace cov- cred balerinas and she carried a bouquet of giant white nuns.

 Music for the wedding and re- ception was furnished by Mary Schafermeyer on the piano and solovox and soloist Art Bossard who sang "I saw a star at Night" and T Love You Truly. A girls trio consisting of Peggy and Cath crime Werner and Roberta Hend. rickson sang Always" as the hap py couple cut their three tiered wedding cake under a canopy of white streamers and wedding bells.
 The mother of the bride chose a dress of rose beige shantung for her daughters wedding and wore corsage of red roses. Mrs, Parret, mother of the groom, wore a suit of brown and biege wool and a corsage of red roses and white mum petals.
 For her honeymoon trip the bride chose a grey wool and orion suit. The couples hideaway was the Summit Lake cabin of Mir. and Mrs. Luther Jones. The honey moon trip took the couple to Kenai and Anchorage. They are now making their home in Seward at 526 First Avenue.

NEW ORDINANCE CALLS FOR CITY BUSINESS LICENSES

A full house and a full evenings work faced the City Council this week when they met for their 1st session of the month at s pm. SEWER
 First item on the agenda was the discussion of the controversial Sewer Assessment and there was a full house of spectators and cit izens to speak their pieces on the problem. The question was brought up as to why there was such a difference between the first and second assessment notices on the sewer line. The question was an swered by City Manager O'Hara who explained that the first assess ment had been figured only on the basis of actual cost of the line without any financing charges passed on to the users. The sec ond assessment notice took into ac- count the financing charges plus certain other expenses incident to the total cost of the sewer pro- ject.
 MT. Murphy was present and he contended that the City's fig ures were in error and that based on the contract price they were charging way too much per foot for the sewer. The problem was never strengthened out, so any one with the possible exception of the Council and Mir. Murphy knew just what the difficulty was.
 After over two hours of discus sion it was recommended by the City Manager that the Council adopt the resolution. setting the wheels in motion to start collection of the sewer assessments and take care of any adjustments as they came up. Citizens are to contact the City Manager and make ar engagements to meet with the City Council a few at time and work their problems out under the reso- lution. The first payment is due on December 31st and the balance of 39 other payments would be paid off at the rate of ? per year for the next 20 years.
 A motion was offered by Council man West, seconded by Petrovich, to table the resolution until the next meeting. On vote the mo- tion was defeated and the res olution was then voted upon and was passed unanimously.
 DELINQUENT TAXES
 A report was received from the Chief of Police on his investiga- tion of the problem of uncollect- able personal property taxes. It was the Chiefs report that all those assessed were now living out side of town or had otherwise re- moved themselves or property from town. While the Council was some what inclined to write off the $500 in taxes, the City Manager recom- mended that a further investiga- ton be made to determine if the property assessed had ever been in town, and if so to pursue the matter further to see if some of the tax could be collected. 
 The City Manager reported that the preliminary survey of the pro- posed City Telephone System had been completed by MT. Bowler of the Alaska Telephone Associates and that a complete report would be given at the next meeting of the Utility Board to be held next Tues day evening.

900 cars a day would use this
stretch almost Immediately. But
on the basis of increased area
traffic during the last six years,
some officials think the volume
here may go up to 10000 a day.
Eventually, the big Kenil-
worth interchange will give the
parkway a direct connection to
the new East Capitol street
bridge, due to open next year.
When the Kenilworth connec-
ton is finished, officials think
two-thirds of Washington bound
traffic will hit for the East Cap
itol instead of using the New
York avenue connection.
Traffic volumes on the park
way itself will vary, with many
short-trip motorists running up
volumes in the highly developed
areas near either end Of the two
city route.
Maryland traffic officials think
that for the parkway as a whole.
10000 cars a day is a good fig
ure. Other officials say this is
too high. One basis for the

Maryland estimate is spot checks
made this year which showed
traffic volumes on Route l near
Baltimore dropped 80 per cent
after the State portion of the
parkway was opened.
Officials pointed out. however.
that this was mainly caused by
short trips in the Baltimore area.
Most experts foreSee no chance
that Route ! will become a ghost
road, because of the intensive
development along it and be-
cause of normal traffic increases
expected on all roads.
The parkway's Federal portion
alone has 19 grade separations
and four river bridges. Most of
the structures lead directly to
communities on either side and
to Fort Meade, the Beltsville ag-
ricultural center and the Dis
trict's Children's Center at
Laurel.
Moving from the Federal to
the Maryland portion, you hardly
know the difference. The 10 miles
of State road has the same easy
sweep and park-like center strips.
It contains 10 separate struc-
lures. the biggest of which is a
$2.4 million interchange and road
connection to Friendship Air
port.
Within the Baltimore limits.
the road meets Russell street in
the heart Of the business area.
Motorists heading for Route 40
to the East get there from Rus
sell street via Paca street, a fast
moving four-lane one-way route.
Greene street. parallel to Paca
and also of1e-way, gets motorists
from Route 40 back to Russell
street for the return trip.
Baltimore Bypass In Prospect.
The Maryland Roads Commits
sion announced plans this week.
meanwhile, for financing a $3.50
million toll tunnel under Balti-
more harbor that will be the
real answer for motorists who
want to bypass Baltimore en-
tirely.
Approach roads from the tun-
mel win tap the Baltimore Wash
ington parkway south of the Pa
tapsco River, and provide a
straight shot to the Pulaski high
way tRoute 40) in Baltimore's
eastern suburbs.
The tunnel opening is sched-
uled for December l, 1857.
In the more distant future the
parkway also will be a major part
Of Washington bypass route.
The Kenilworth expressway,
slated to link the parkway with
the East Capitol street bridge,
eventually will follow the Ana
costa southwark to connect with
"a Jones Point bridge at Alexan-
dria.
The Alexandria bridge was
authorized by Congress this year.
But there are no indications yet
about when construction will
start.

Snub 10 Mrs. Werner
Results in Boycott Of
Tax League Session

Six Democratic candidates for
the Montgomery County Council
will boycott a requested appear
ance before the Homeowners'
Tax League tonight because
their running mate, Mrs. Stella
B. Werner, was snuhbed in the
organizations invitation.
The six candidates, in a tele-
gram to Acting League Presi-
dent Robert S. Boynton, last
night said they would not attend
the meeting because of the
pointed commission Of Stella
Werner from the leagues invi-
tation and Endorsement"
Cite Effort to Divide"
The candidates added that al
though they support many of the
leagues objectives, 1--WE cannot
condone any effort to divide our
well balanced and truly repre-
sentative team of seven candi-
dates"
Mr.. Boynton today said that
the league, a non-partisan group,
had invited the seven Republi-
can candidates and the six
Democrats because they all were
Endorsed by the league in the
June primaries. The acting
president and c. H. Bennett, a
spokesman for the group, ex-
pressed regret at the last minute
rejection of the groups invita-
tion.
The action of the six candi-
dates was seen as an effort to
counter widely circulated rumors
that the other candidates were
not supporting Mrs. Werner's bid
for reelection.
Opposed by Gravelle.
Mrs. Werner is being opposed
by Republican Louis A. Gra-
velle, whom the league feels has
been its friendliest council mem
Der.

to be the first of a number of
Federal parkways to be actually
completed-including several in
the Washington area.
Watchfulness Paid or.
While the parkway is q joint
District-F Federal-State project,
two men-Mr. Spelman and Ma
tional Capital Parks Associate
Supt. Harry T. Thompson-were
most intimately connected with
its long birth pangs.
Over the years, Mr.. Thomp-
son kept close watch on the
road as a park and scenic ap-
proach to the Capital. It paid off
in such moves as acquisition of
400 acres of the old Greenbelt
tract. which now borders the
road.
At its Bladensburg road start
ing point, New York avenue ex-
tended is a wide six-lane street,
divided by a narrow center bar
rier. It crosses the Pennsylvania
Railroad tracks on wide bridge
and then overpasses South Da-
kota avenue extended.

paid $14.2 million for its 10
miles. The District connection
cost about 50 million, including
an extension of South Dakota
avenue NE.
The roadway on the Federal
section consists of a 10-inch
| granular base, under eight inches
of reinforced concrete, designed
to stand an axle load of $4,000
pounds. That's enough for the
constant pounding of any pas
senger vehicle and. if necessary
in emergencies, military vehicles
that would use it.
The Maryland portion has q
10-inch concrete layer, which
leads to the most significant diff
ference between the two long
road sections.

The difference is that Mary
land, under State law, permits
trucks on its section and desig-
mates it as an "expressway."
The Federal parkway" will per-

stop on the road, but trucks are
strictly banned.
Trucks that do use the "ex-
pressway" between Baltimore and
Jessup road. the point near the
northern boundary of Fort
Meade where the two sections
meet, will have to swing off there

Interchanges Varied.
The traffic interchanges vary
widely in design and size, rang
ing from full cloverleafs to SIM

the traffic volume on cross roads.

history Of delay after delay,
while Illustration and accident
rates mounted steadily over the
years on Route /.
The old National Capital Park
and Planning Commission start
ed studies on such a route 81
years ago. In 1898, the Bureau
Of Public Roads started making
surveys. The real turning point
came in 1912, when the late
Frederic A. Delano. then Plan
ming Commission chairman, per-
suaded his nephewPresident
Roosevelt to furnish 50 million
IN public works money to buy
the right-of-way. After more

Falls Church Plans
Strict Legality for
School Bond Vote

Falls Church election officials,
determined to safeguard legality
of the November 2 vote, are in
structing poll workers to "go by
the book" in following State vot-
ing laws.
A referendum last March ap-
proving an $500, 900 school bond
issue was thrown out of court
because, ballots of property own
ers and other voters were inter-
mingled.
At a meeting of 80 judges and
clerks at City Hall last night,
Walter L. Mess, secretary of the
Electoral Board, and Harry E.
Wells, registrar, reviewed the
procedure to be followed on elec-
ton day.
They agree that they are
OVERRIDING it," but are taking no
chances on any significant
breach of State requirements.
Although regulations will be en-
forced strictly, Mr.. Mess believes
that voting will proceed as
smoothly as in any previous bal
loting.
No C0ngregating at Polls.
People will not be permitted
to congregate within 100 feet Of
the voting place. No one but the
party voting, except for judges
and clerks, will be permitted
within 40 feet of the voting place.
Sample ballots must be some
other color than the official bal
lots, which are white.
Voters will enter the room one
at a time. Then the voter will
go through this procedure:
If unknown to the first judge,
he will be asked his name. A
check will be made to see if he
is registered and has paid all
poll taxes required by law.
Then his name is written in
two poll books.
The next poll worker hands
him the general election ballot
for Representative, Senator and
City Clerk, plus another ballot
on an amendment to the State
constitution to allow county
school boards to borrow from
the State Retirement Fund.
The voter then is asked If
he is a freeholder-a property
owner. If the answer is yes, his
name is checked on a list of
freeholders.
Then he moves to another
table, where his name is checked
against another freeholders' list.
Then his name is listed twice
more in poll books.
After that, he is again asked
the question, "Are you a free
holder?" Then he is given the
ballot for the 1891 900 school
bond issue and $685., 900 water
system Improvement bond issue.
Returns Marked Ballots.
When he leaves the voting
booth. he is required to hand
his ballots to an election official.
The judge calls out the voters
name and waits to hear if there
Is a challenge from any of the
Officials present,
If there is no challenge, the
official drops the folded general
election ballots in one box, and
the bond ballot in another.
For non-freeholders, the pro-
cedure is similar. but at differ
ent tables and different boxes.
During tallying of the vote, no
one will be allowed to watch,
except two official watchers
from each political party.
Voters won't be allowed to
carry away ballots they don't
use-the unused ones will be
marked void and dropped in one
of the boxes.
