Chestnut Farms (Sealtest)
Dairy will reduce purchases Of
its raw milk supply from the
local farmers cooperative by
an additional 10000 gallons a
day starting April /, it an
nounced today.
The move is to Offset a new
fiat price on milk to be charged
all diaries here by the Mary
land-Virginia Milk Producers
Association which will nearly
double the price the diaries
must pay for raw milk used for
manufacturing products.
The reduction cuts Sealtest's
purchases from the local coop
to about $4,000 gallons a day as
compared to 10000 a day before
the current milk dispute started
a few weeks ago. Sealtest,
however, remains the co-op's
largest single customer.

Chestnut Farms general
manager, Edgar N. Brawner,
said 10000 gallons of raw milk
will be brought in from Sealtest
receiving stations at Hagers-

RICHMOND. Mar. 26.-The
State Highway Commission to-
day bypassed for the time being
more than SIS million in Fed
eral interstate highway funds,
but made sufficient ALLEGATIONS
to give the Washington area SIG

The SIC million was ear

Study Set
ForWaferfronf
City Heads Agree
On Formal Support
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star stan Writer

A new study Of the South
west waterfront area designed
to encourage development of
an outstanding marine tourist
center was approved today by
the District Commissioners.
The Commissioner agreed 10
a request from their Urban Re-
newal Operations Committee
for formal support Of the new
study. which has been under
way for some time.
Support for revision of the
present development plan was
voiced by representatives Of the
Redevelopment Land Agency.
Work Out Details
The c o m m issioners told
Thomas X. Fullerton, assistant
engineer commissioner, and
head of the renewal committee,
to work out details as rapidly
as possible.
After the hearing, John r.
Searles, jr.. executive director
of the RIA. estimated that a
new detailed plan would be
ready to be submitted to the
commissioners within six weeks.
AS a basis for the new pro-
posals, the RIA has a pre-
liminary plan submitted by a
consultant. Stanley Sherman. a
professor of architecture at the
University of Michigan.
Major Feature
A major feature Of this re-
port provides for shifting a
portion Of the new Maine ave-
nue. inland to gain additional
waterfront property.
Under the present plan,
adopted in 1856, the new Maine
avenue would cut out a crescent
shaped piece of land at the
north end Of the waterfront,
between the Southwest express
way and l. street. Under Mr..
Sherman's proposals. the ave-
nue. would not begin to curve
toward the Washington Chan
mel at Ninth street, but would
be routed in a straight line to
the M street intersection.
Because the land slopes up
ward away from the water,
Maine avenue would be elevated
and parking would be provided
below the street, according to
Mr.. Searles.
