Commissioner of Public Works for this District, |
am constrained, for want of time, to adopt this
mode of addressing you.
The office is one Of considerable Importance to
the people of the State, and especially of this
District. Belle wing from former experience of
several years, State Agent IN the Public Works,
which gave me ample opportunity to ascertain the
wants and interests Of the people in those Com
panies, that can be Of essential service to them,
in this capacity of Public Commissioner, am in
duced to consent to the nomination rendered me
through the public Press, and now place myself
before you.
The duties required of the Board Of Public
Works, by the new Constitution are. to represent
the State in all Joint Stock Companies in which
the State has an interest-to elect Directors in
the Canals and Rail Roads-from time to time to
review the Tariff of Tolls adopted by those Com
panies. to prevent injurious competition, det-
rimenta to the interest of the State land SO TO
adjust them as to promote the agriculture of the
State of yMaryLand.
When holding the office of State Agent some
years ago-with much more limited powers than
are conferred upon the present Board Of Public
Works. introduced. and succeeded in effecting
considerable reduction in tolls upon lime. and
other fertilizers, intended for the improvement Of
the soil, as the journal of that Board will show.
1t is now made the Constitutional duty of the
Commissioners to effect this ohject-and having,
when member of the Reform Convention intro
duced that latter clause in the Constitution. may
say without undue assumption, that naturally
feel desire to give it practical effect-being full
~ persuaded that it is as much the interest of
those Companies, as well duty they owe the
State, to adopt and foster this line of policy.
In politics cherish my long attachment to con-
servative Wing principles-and see no cause to
change them-and if elected, ] will endeavor to
address myself to the important duties of the Of
fee. with eye single to the best interests Of the
State. and the fulflment Of the law under which
l hold my appointment-and that untrammelled
by party feelings and prejudices.
With this brief statement of the duties Of the
office, and expression of my sentiments with re-
gard to it, throw myself upon the judgment of
the intelligent Electors of the District, and will
cheerfuiy abide their decision.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
