City project submitted for Hagerstown drainage and routes
The northwest storm water drainage project in Hagerstown was submitted to Public Works Administration officials in Baltimore yesterday by Mayor I M Wertz and city officials. The northeast sanitary sewage system was temporarily rejected as a government aid project pending further study. State Roads officials in Baltimore were not available, as Dr Homer E Tabler and others were out of the city. Discussions will resume tomorrow on Route 40, the route including West Washington street, and the sanitary work. Tabler hopes to eliminate all grade crossings as rebuilding of the National Highway proceeds from the Allegany County line east. Bridges over Western Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad crossings have been considered but no action taken. A by-pass around the business district has also been under consideration.
