Bus Speedup Here
Still Faces Hurdles

District Traffic Director George
Keneipp today said an expert
ment in speeding bus movements
on H street still faces several
hurdles.
In previous announcements,
Mr., Keneipp said he would rec
ommend an experiment which
would provide a curb-side re-
serve lane on H street from Fife
tenth street NE. and MaSsa-
chuSetts avenue NV. Following
ia television appearance yester-
day, Mr. Keneipp was quoted as
saying the experiment would be-
gin December 20.
Today Mr.. Keneipp said he APP
Iparently was misunderstood and
the reserve lane experiment, ape
proved by District Commissioners,
would probably begin sometime
soon after the first of year.
Mr.. Keneipp also said it would
be necessary to reach agreement
on conditions of the experiment
with o. Roy Chalk, president OF
the District Transit Co. Mr..
Chalk last week withdrew pre-
vious agreements on the condi-
tons of the reserve lane experi-
ment, pending further talks with
city traffic officials.

The Ulster County Gazette,

1t is so rare that there are
only two known copies. One
of these is in the Library of

by the American Antiquarian

Butt reproductions of that
particular issue are so COM

If the weather co-operates,
Washington area motorists can
look forward to a Christmas gift
of 712 more miles OF Annapolis
Expressway.
Most would agree that it's
about time,
1t has taken seven years to
complete 81 miles of the much
1 desired and long-awaited ex-
lpressway. and it still has four
miles to go before IL reaches the
District line at the Kenilworth
Interchange.
/ Norman M. Pritchett, chief en-
gineer of the Maryland Roads
Commission, told The Star that
unless there is a lot of rain or
snow this month, the next Sec
ton of the expressway between
Route 301 and Palmer highway
should be open to traffic before
lAllIlSlIIldo.
He disclosed at the same time
that the commission has decided
to postpone scheduled dual-lane
improvement of Palmer highway
(Route 704 between the District
line. where it connects with East
Capitol street, and the Annapolis
expressway, a distance of about
five miles.
! Mr.. Pritchett said the agency
does not want to hinder traffic
on the Palmer highway while il
will be undergoing heavy use as
the closest D. c. link to the new
/ Annapolis road, which is desig-
mated as Route so and has been
officially named the John Han
son highway after the Maryland
president Of the Continental
Congress.
Governor Watching Progress
I'VE have decided that instead
Of trying to improve Palmer
highway now" he said, I'VE
will concentrate on getting the
rest of the Annapolis express
way constructed on into Kenil-
worth interchange in the next
construction year"
BY that he means before nexi
winter.
Gov McKeldin, a frequent
user of the 1876 miles of the
lexpressway now open between
Annapolis and Route 301, said he
intends ito keep behind this en-
tire project until it is completed
all the way to the District Of
Columbia" Hhe said he has ad.
vised officials of the State Road,
Commission that I am anxiou.
L osee the necessary work com.
pleted as quickly as possible Il

He said he had been told thai
recent wet weather has delayed
the opening Of the seven and Z
half mile stretch to Palmer
highway.

lferential highway is scheduled
to intersect the expressway.
Land Purchased
Present plans also call for par
tial interchanges on the ex-
.pressway at Ardwick road and
Cheverly road and a full inter-
change at Landover road.
MI Pritchett said construction
costs for the last section will
run about IS million, with an
other 81 million plus needed for
right-of-way acquisition. The
State already has purchased
half the right-of-way for this
section. and most Of it has been
put in reservation by the Mary

Set for September, 1855
Mr.. Landlord said he sis al
a loss to understand the delay
in completing the section to
Palmer Highway, on which
construction began in August
1854. He said he has made
several inquiries to the roads
commission about the project
"but all they ever say is, shortly,

The roads commission had
originally estimated completion
of the expressway to Palmer

Then the date was moved back
to September, 1856, and now to

THE LIBRARY of Congress
copy of the Original Gazette
for January 4, 1900, did not
turn up until 1880, when a
lady in New York found it in
a trunk in her attic. The
American Antiquarian Society
found its copy eight years
later.
The Library's bulletin says
this about the reprints:
THE reproduction of the
issue Of January 4, 1900, be-
gan during the first half Of
the 10Th century, perhaps
as early as 1925. These
early reprints we're made in
smaller numbers, and, as re-
CARDS the paper and type
used. represent somewhat
more careful imitation of a
newspaper printed in 1900
than do those OF later years.
The Centennial Exposition
Of 1876 in Philadelphia saw
the beginning OF the whole
sale output of the reprints.
At least one printing firm had
a regular contract for supply
ing them and they we're sold
on the Exposition grounds by
the armful as historical SOU
venirs. Since then various
enterprising individuals have
continued TO flood the market
with cheap and poor repro
auctions. The commercial
value Of the reprint is very
small.
