Motorists Toughened by ToneIes
In Rock Creek Face Tougher Ones

work goes on for an estimated
three months longer, both
Broad Branch and Glover
roads will remain blocked off
from Beach drive and the rest
of the park. West Beach drive
remains open, however, until
such time as the existing Broad
Branch bridge is RACED.
7. Rock Greek bridge at
Broad Branch-Part of the
foregoing project. this will be
substitute for the creek ford
there, the only means of cross
ing the stream at that juncture
in the past. The bridge and
its street approaches. in con-
junction with the Broad
Branch structure will handle
traffic from East and West
Beach drives. Broad Branch
and Glover roads and Blagden
avenue. With the ford blocked
now, there is no stream cross
ing at that point. During con-
struction to last about six
more months, traffic along East
Beach drive and Blagden ave-
nue. will continue to have ac-
cess to the park.
8. Park road bridge over
Piney Branch parkway-Closed
for nearly a year because of
its unsafe condition, 1t is due
for replacement by the District
beginning early next year. Its
construction is not expected to
interfere seriously with park
way trafffc, and the 1000 We
hicles which used it daily have
long since found other routes
such as Klingle road and Por-
ter street to get across Rock
Greek Park. Construction will
last about a year from start
ing date.
Q. Rock Greek and Potomac
parkway-The -curving stretch
Of this major thoroughfare be-
tween Whitehurst freeway and
the Q Street Bridge over the
park is to be rebuilt starting
this month. Main purpose is
to bank" the curves for safer
driving. Construction is due
to last about three months,
and during that period two of
the existing four lanes will be
open for traffic.

In addition, this bill provides

but II he still objects, the Pres
ident could veto the assembly
action.
Other Differences
There are other major differ
snces. Under the administra-
ton bil. sponsored by the
Board Of Commissioners, the
District could be voted into
debt up to IL per cent of the
assessed value Of taxable real
and personal PROPERTY. with
the proviso that not more than
one-half Of the IL per cent
limitation could be used for
general government purposes.
The older bill elected may
or-city counciD would restrict
the aggregate debt to 2 per
cent Of taxable real property.
Also the Legislative Assembly
plan provides that new debt
would have to be approved first
by the voters except that, with
in the IL per cent limitation
debt, up to 2 percent Of the as
sessed valuation of taxable real
and personal property could be
authorized by the Legislative
Assembly without approval Of
the voters-or by about $40
million. Under the older bill
none Of this could be done
without referendum approval.
The new plan also provides
for the abolition of the Board
of Education and the transfer
Of its functions to the Legisla-
tive Assembly for assignment
as 1t deems fit. The mayor
council bill provides for an
elected school board.
There would be a difference
also in top official costs.
Under the Legislative As
sembly plan, the Governor
would be paid $21, 900 a year.
plus $4,000 expense account.
and the lieutenant governor
$17,500. Under the older bill
the mayor would be paid
$4,000 plus a $500 expense
account.
The assembly would have IS
members, each paid $4,000,
plus an extra $4,000 for the
chairman. Under the council
plan, nine members would get
$4,000 each.
Both bills provide for the
election Of a non-voting Dis
trict delegate in the House,
who would serve as a member
Of the House District Commit
tee. who could offer bills and
make speeches but not vote
in the House.

and a light going on in the

II called Who's there -"
Mrs. Locke said. and when I
went to the door I saw . man
at the end Of the hall taking a
knife from his belt. It was a
kitchen knife, ! think. There.
was a kitchen towel around his
neck"
She said the man warned
her, do as / say and you won't
get hurt"
Mrs. Locke recalled that he
forced her on a tour of the
house. He said he knew there
was money and jewelry in the
house. and that was what he
wanted" After inspecting the
house three times. the man
steered her into the kitchen
and held her there for about
four and a half hours"
He talked the whole time
about all kinds Of things. i
I'm only guessing, but he
seemed concerned about what
to do about my being there"
She said she talked back to
him. II kept hoping he'd 60,
that he'd take my $40 and go"
she says.
