Maryland Town Seeks $20,000 for Pennsylva nia Avenue Extension
Suitland Improvement Association voices plans to extend Pennsylvania Avenue eastward to the District line. Citizens urge Congress to provide $20,000 for the extension, with Maryland and Prince George county promising to macadamize a route to Suitland road if funded. Discussions cover electric railway options and a potential Capital Traction extension. A $50,000 pledge toward a railroad, a charter, and a new post office are noted amid cemetery litigation and bridge-improvement talks.
