School Speed
Signs Gone,
Held Illegal

Five speed limit signs erected
by a subdivision developer to
protect children walking to
school today are stored at
Prince Georges County police
headquarters.
The 15-mile-per-hour signs
were removed yesterday along
Temple Hills and Henderson
roads near the Temple Hills
School. The signs violated
State law. according to Police
Corpl. George Whitlow.
He said a speed limit Of less
than Is miles per hour is not
enforceable on a county road.
Police also contend unauthor-
lied signs attempting to regu.
late traffic are illegal.
Ernest F. Beach, of SCOT
Temple Hills road, erected the
signs earlier this week. He said
they are needed to protect
about As children walking to
and from school along Temple
Hills road.
The legal speed limit on the
road is 80 miles per hour.
School officials scheduled q
bus for the children last We'd
nesday.
Mr.. Beach said, however, the
reduced speed limit still is
needed and that he posted the
signs on private property. He
could not be reached for COM
ment on their removal.
States Attorney william L.
Kahler said he wrote Mr.. Beach
today stating that if he persist
ed in putting up the speed limit
signs, he would be arrested.
The county prosecutor said
police have every right" to
remove the signs whether they
are on private property or not.

Louis w. Prentiss (USA ret.),
former Engineer Commissioner
and chairman Of the council.
The program has generated
pride in the appearance Of the
area on the part of the resi-
dents and that is the key to
this effort" said Gen. P-entiss.
The Northeast housing code
enforcement area lies between
Second street and Oklahoma
avenue, Constitution avenue, r
street and Benning road.
Success Noted
The tour began at Second
and E streets, within sight of
the Capitol. Enforcement in
this area has met with almost
complete success. Unsightly
sheds and tall, dilapidated wood
fences have been replaced with
neat coal bins. and chain link
fence.

make certain the neighbcrhood

said Carl H. Hammermeister,

Mr.. H a m m e r meister ex-
planned that housing code en-
forcement, completed as far
east as Thirteenth street, re-
quires property owners to main
tain the property in good re-
pair and keep it clean.
"a lot Of people don't know
1t, but the code requires screens
on windows during the spring
and summer months, windows
in good working order, proper
plumbing and a generally safe
dwelling" he said.
CrOwding Reduced
He also pointed out that
enforcement of the housing
code has reduced overcrowded
conditions in what used to be
near-slum properties.
In some areas, inspection
officials have whipped up so

The biggest contributions to

agreed with Mr.. Kaul's pro-
posal which, he said. had
worked on a smaller scale In
Fairfax County.
Mr.. Raul said the project
should be partly Federal re-
sponsibility anyway because Of
the large airport under con-
struction and the commercial
developments it will bring.
The commission took no ac-
ton on a proposal of a reso-
luton which would claim Fed

the one approved by Congress
Utilities Pledge Aid
Several utilities have pledged
1000 to aid the commission in

Northern Virginia. the planning
staff reported. Mr.. Moss urged
prompt use of the funds to
contact industries and urge
them to locate in Northern
Virginia. The present situa-
ton. which includes the con-
struction of the airport and
major highways. would be APP
propriate to tempt new indus

The staff also presented q
map charting all the existing
and future major highways in
the area. These include Route

Center Sturt
Is Due Soon
In Southwest

A development firm which
will rebuild a large part OF
Southwest Washington--now
weed-covered, vacant land -
said today that construction will
begin within two months on q
"a million shopping center and
apartment project.
William L. Slayton, vice pres
ident Of Webb & Knapp, said
the new housing bill signed by
President Eisenhower on We'd
nesday cleared the way for start
Of construction on the first half
Of the shopping center and two
l28-unit apartment buildings.
I'VE will be talking to build
ers within two weeks and will
be under construction within
two months" he said.
James Scheuer. another re-
developer who will rebuild por-
tons Of the slum-cleared
Southwest, said last Saturday
he would begin building 81
town houses soon after the
President signed the new leg
islation.
More Favorable Financing
Both Webb & Knapp and the
Scheuer-Stevens redevelopment
firms had been waiting for the
more favorable financing made
possible by the new bill.
In general, it permits the
Federal Housing Administra-
ton to insure a greater part
Of the total cost Of constructing
the shopping center, town
houses and apartments. This
means lenders will put up more
toward the cost Of construction
and the redevelopers less.
Mr.. Slayton said Webb &
Knapp would be able to OBJ
tain about 80 per cent financ-
ing under the new bill.
Webb q Knapp also win
build some 800 town houses
in Southwest WASHINGTON. Mr.
Slayton said the first group Of
about a would go under con-
struction shortly after the first
of the year.
The first half Of the town
center and the two apartment
buildings will be constructed
between I and M and Third
and Sixth streets.
East Of Capitol Park
The Scheuer-Stevens town.
houses will be built east Of
the new Capitol Park Apart
ments, which fronts on Fourth
street between G and I streets,
S.W.
Builders here said the in
crease in allowable interest
rates on FILA mortgages on
private homes from 5A to So
per cent probably would spur
private building by loosening
the money market.
THE new authorization for
$1,000 public housing dwelling
units does not mean much to
u.s." said James Ring. director
of the National Capital Housing
Authority, because we don't
have sites on which to build
1.412 units already authorized
for Washington"
