DISTRICT ROADS AND CORPORATION STREETS
Editor Of the Star Your correspondent, - Re-
lief in yesterdays paper very properly, in INV
opinion complains of the wretched condition Of
your county roads and many of your streets. The
Eastern Branch roads, the Fourteenth street and
Piney Branch road, the Seventh street road. and
| the Red Hill Deep Cut, above Georgetown, are
sad evidences of the fact.
The Levy Court and your Mayors rarely if ever
make the proper spring repairs but improper
ter Oh for some engineering skill and better
drainage, and less intense Democracy, or other
politics, in road makers and members.

expect your Mary land wagon trade To incyease or
your markets 10 be well attended, until you of the
District furnish us OF Prince Georges and Mont
gomery better winter roads within the District
line, and a suitable market house Your negli-
gence drives us to trade much in Baltimore, when
our preference is your market. Have your bust
ness men and merchants enterprise, Ii So. why
permit this state of things 10 continue,
