COmmissi Oners Meeting.

The board of coanty commissioners met on
Tuesday to pay for road work for August and
to attend to general business. Geo. w. Gray
sent in his resignation as member OF the
board aud has also forwarded the same to the
Governor The supervisors reports. aggrega-
ting 5000, were passed upon and paid in full,
and other road and bridge accounts, amount
ing to $4OO, were passed and settled. An or
der was adopted allowing Judge Price the pri
vilege Of keeping gate on the public road to
Liverpool Point until February next, he max
ing the statement that it was impossible for
him to complete bis fence much before that
time. During an executive session held in the
public roads was discussed. 1t was shown
that $S OOO the amount levied in 1888 for these
repairs, had become exhausted to within a fen
hundred dollars-about a sum sufficient to pay
the balance of the supervisors salary and for
bridge work now under construction Of
conrse it is we'll understood that the great
foods of this year have required an UNUSUAL
expenditure Of money to keep the roads and
bridges in condition, and it is not surprising
that the fund levied should be so soon exhaust
ed In the discussion on Tuesday the question
was considered whether it would be better to
draw on the fund levied in June for sum suf
6cisnt to keep the road corps employed another
month or to stop them at once in continuous
work and to instruct them to repair only the
impossible places that now exist or that might
hereafter occur; thus keeping intact the money
just levied for the next years service. The
question was considered in all its bearings and
fully discussed from practical and legal stand
point. and while every member of The board
was desirous of continuing the corps it was
finally thought best to take them of at once
and thus keep within the bounds of the law,
which says that only S., 900 shall be expended
on The roads in any one year. The necessity
for this discontinusnce will, of course, be gen.
orally deplored. but we do not think that any
reasonable person in the county can blame the
board for its action which was rendered sbso-
lutely necessary by existing circumsta nces.-
The supervisors were instructed to keep a close
watch N the roads and do whatever was pes
sible toward making them passible. The board

An Historical Imaecuracy,

Our esteemed contemporary the Bal
timore Sun, in its account OF the battle of
North Point and the D0mbsrdment OF
Fort McHenry. published in its issue OF
the 9th proximo, incidentally, in speak
ing of the burning of Washington city
uses this language: "The British forces
debalked near Benedict on the east bank
of the Potomac, and proceeded to Wash
ington on the Gath OF August, which they
pluh6ered, and also destroyed the public
buildings." The fact is that the Sun is in
error in locating the village of Benedict
ON The east bank OF the Potomac, it being
situated about twenty miles east OF that
riv.r and on tie wts' bank of the Patux-
ent river.
