The Westchester Parkway Auth ority has under consideration a plan to erect a median barrier on the entire length of the Hutchin son Parkway at an estimated cost of $500,000. Park Superintendent Charles Pound came up with the idea of using old cars to crash the bar riers to determine the safest type. Prpliminary tests were made on the Central Westchester Parkway in Greenburgh last month. Pound and George Haight, man ager of the parkway authority, and Arthur Freed, safety engineer in the county department of public works yesterday went to Provi dence, R.I., to view tests on a new type of barrier — made of fiber glass. Pound said it has not been used before. Pound says one of the chief ad vantages of the fiber glass bar rier is that there is no mainten ance problem, it doesn't rust. Pound says that there are about 106 known types of center bar riers He plans to go to California in January where extensive test' ing has narrowed to 26 the best types of barrier. MRS. CHARLES H.
