some very pointed remarks, congratulating its
friends upon the good fortunes that are now
aiding it in its ultimate construction. 1t was
resolved, on motion of Mr.. Symington of Har-
ford county, that the corporators of that county
be requested to take subscriptions, and ascertain
the right of way and report the result of their
work to the executive committee.
Messrs jeremiah Yellott, P. T. George, VIM.
Gilmer, Chas. T. Halle, Edward F. Jenkins and
W. T. Walters were appointed from Baltimore
county, to perform the same mission in her ju-
risdiction. The extended time for the compile
ton of the road and the endorsement of its

cannot be allowed to pass away unimproved by
those interested

CHARLES STREET AvENUE.-MesSrs. Editors ::
Will you allow me the space in your valuable
paper to call the attention of the County Com
missioners to the condition of this part of
Charles street avenue situated directly north
of Boundry avenue, which is so rough and full
of ruts that few persons will drive over it. The
improvements in progress at Charles street
bridge, and on the street on both sides of the
bridge, when finished, will necessarily bring o
large portion of the travel to Towsontown that
way if the County Commissioners will only
have that part of the road improved belonging
to the county. The travelling public demands
leading from the city to the county seat. The
County Commissioners, by attending to the
above improvement, will, 1 am confident, re-
ceive the universal thanks of the travelling
public. PUBLIC COOP.
