After discussing project submitted by

committee finally resolved 10 request the
presidento of the convention to call il togeth .

expended on roads in some Of the counties
has been very large, and taxes have been We ry
heavy much heavier in proportion to the
good that has been accomplished than they
ought to be. That the roads Of MARYLAND
stand greatly in need ofinprovemen every
one will admit, but to render the roads
really good the work must be thoroughly
