ROAD Observation-Disclosures ID. c. Whar-
ton Smith, Christopher Wilson, Joseph r.
Hopkins and others, representing the Darling
ton Road League, were before the County
Commissioners on Monday with proposition
looking to the Improvement of certain roads
~, +lo Sc nor 70
wingo Bridge These roads can not withstand
the heavy hauling there is upon them by
wagons laden mostly with flint. Therefore, in
order to furnish a good road all the year
around for these teams the Road League has
made an arrangement by which the road from
Husbands Flint Mill by way of Muttonsburg
to Birds Corner and thence to Conowingo is
to be improved, on condition that the flint
teams will be confined to it, thereby saving
the other roads leading in the same direction.
The gentlemen named stated to the County
Commissioners that the Road League would
guarantee $40 for the purpose, and asked that
tile Commissioners would increase the sum to
$500. Their request was granted, and the
work has already been commenced under the
direction of Mr. Samuel S. James, General
Road Supervisor of Dublin district. 1t is
expected that this improvement will enable the
Road League to keep other roads heretofore
used for heavy hauling in better condition.
On Tuesday Messrs. S. A. Williams, James
Lee, VIM. F. Hays, VIM Webster, W. Beatty
Harlan, Parker Forwood, John W. Cole, Col.
J. T. Frieze, VIM. f. Kenly, John II. Baker,
Winfield s. Baker, VIM. Munnikhuysen, Geo.
w. Jones, Richard B. Mccoy and others APP
preparation on the road between Churchville
and Bel Air. This road, which is 5! miles in
length is travelled more than any other road
in the county. 1t is the common approach to
the county seat from nearly all the eastern
part of the county. Consequently it is i'm
possible to keep it in even passable order as
dirt road.
The committee who waited upon the Com
missioners made liberal proposition of pri-
vate aid to supplement whatever might be
appropriated by the Commissioners towards
improving it. Accordingly the road was di-
vided into three sections, for each of which a
committee of three competent men was APP
pointed to expend the amount promised by
the Commissioners, which was $3.50 on each
section.
The high character and business qualifca-
| lions of the men named on the committee
guarantee that the county will receive good
and substantial results from this movement.
Indeed, every effort on the part of citizens, as
individuals or as representing a neighbOrhood,
looking toward an improvement of our public
roads, should be met in liberal spirit by our
| County Commissioners. 1t is to their credit
that this is and has been their policy.
