Damascus Street Due for |

A public hearing will be held
at 2 p. m. Tuesday, June II, on
the first front foot benefit pro-
ject ever planned in the upper
county. 1t would involve widen
ing and resurfacing some 1,500
feet of Mt. Vernon Ave. in Da-
mascus. Owners of property
along the road would pay $19,222
for the road, at Sc per assessable
foot of property.
Driveway entrances are expect
ed to cost another $2,428, to be
paid for by the property-owners
who order them built.
The county has agreed to spend
$3.50 for engineering in the over
all project, totaling $22,100.
The hearing will be in the Coun-
ty Council chamber in Rockville.
The County Public Works De-
partment said virtually all of the
property owners have indicated
they will dedicate to the county
the land needed for right-of-way.
A spokesman for the depart
ment said the new road would
help values of property along Mt.
Vernon st. The existing maca-
dam is breaking up, he said, and
the road is only 8 or III feet wide.
The homes along that street are
well-constructed and above-aver-
age in price, the spokesman said.
Plans call for a bituminous
roadway 20 feet wide atop a right
of-way AZ feet wide, including
shoulders.
If the project goes along
smoothly, the new road could be
in service by autumn, the Public
Works Department said.
The street connects two state
highways, No. 124 and No. 108.
