CoUr tbs The Port Tobacco (Md.) Times
states tnat the commissioners appointed und II
be recent act OF the Legislature tor the survey
of route from Point Lookout, IN -. Mary's
county 10 some point in Prince George
county, have reached Mount Pleasant, in the
western section of Charles county. According z
TO this survey The lIue Of route Will pass
through that county a distance of about fifteen
mIIfs. The point at which il is proposed 20
connect the road with the Baltimore and Po-
tolrac road, in Prime Georges county, is rs
Yet undetermined. The route, far as the
survey has progressed, IS understood 10 be
very level. The Times adds:
We undersland the question of the dIspo-
sItiCn Of the fund acTuIng 10 Charles county
Gncer The provisions of section 81. article 3, Of
The constitution, has been before the county
commissioners for Consideratiod, and owing TO
the difference OF opinion among the members
OF The board, The whole matter wrs indie definitely
postponed. We believe the main cause of the
split was upon the question of the propriety OF
dividing the fund between the Baltimore and
Potomac and The Point Lookout roads Ia all
Probability, IN the case OF one OF the roads-tae
