The expense would be grest, but =
bonded debt to run twenty years
would suffice, thus making those
who get the benefit of better roads
in the future contribute proportion
stely for their cost. The people
want the roads made permanently
good so far as that can be done, and
not this annual outlay for tempor-
arg purposes. The roads should
not only be properly drained and
graded. but should be graveled or
shelled under some good system.
This would cost large amount at
first, but the country would be
largely benefited in the end.
There can be no question of the
ultimate good resulting from such
8 system, not only to the social ad-
vancement Of the people, but in the
increased value Of real estate. The
value Of many farms in this county
over three miles from nayigable
water is heavily discounted by the
frightful conditions of the public
roads. No land buyer win pur-
chase a farm here in winter after
travelling over the public roads TO
inspect il.
There are some here who favor
the idea Of the general government
taking charge of the public roads,
and petitions are now in circulation
to this end which have numerous
signers.
To sum the whole matter up, it
can be said that the people here
have long since voted the present
system a dismal failure, and are
looking anxionsly for some materi-
allied movement which will make
the public roads passable and en-
durable throughout the entire year.
1t is hoped that the convention to
be held in Baltimore on the I1th,
18th and 18th instant, will recon-
mend some plan which will be ap.
proved by the next legislature.
The Breton's Neck Farmers Club,
the only farmers club in the coun.
ty, will send three delegates to the
convention, thus showing that the
people here are alive to the move.

ry's county, writes to the Baltimore
american as follows
The people of this section Of .he
State are beginning to be interested
IN the movement now being inau.
gurated for better public roads.
They have so long stood the bad
system of repairing roads that they
had almost settled down to the in
evitable. They now hail with great
interest any movement looking to
their better condition. For many
the past, the work in this county
(St. Mary's), has been devoted alone
TO repairs. No permanent or last
ing improvement has been attempt
ed. The roads, by local act Of the
Legislature, are entirely under the
control of the board of county COM
missioners, who have never as yet
had any organized system Of inn
provement, or even repairs. They
have generally made repairs to the
roads through the agency Of super
visors, appointed by them for o
term of two years. Under such o
system politics must necessarily en-
ter into it, and it is not. far from
wrong to say both political parties
parcel ont the roads to persons as q
reward for political services, with
out, in many cases, regarding the
qualifications of their appointses
for such work.
To say that we have at times hor-
rible and impossible roads is but
putting it mildly. 1t has been said
"the bottom" has dropped out of
some of our roads many years ago,
and that the holes have been filed
mp with brush. The county COM
missioners spend annually on our
roads about s5, 900, but this amount,
expended as it is, only makes the
roads passable in summer and i'm
passable in winter. When winter
comes all heavy draught-hauling is
suspended, and light vehicles can
scarcely pass over many Of the pub
lie thoroughfares.
During the spring, after the
freezing and thawing, the roads be-
gin to settle and improve. During
the summer they are fairly good,
except for occasional wash-outs from
rain storms. This improved con.
dition is not the result of repairs
by supervisors, but in spite of them,
and, as il is said, the roads mend
themselves AT this season few
repairs are attempted, and when
fall and winter comes they cannot
be repaired effectively. This re-
minds one Of the story of the "Ar-
kansas Traveller" who being asked
why he did not shingle his roof,
replied; "It is raining now and I
cannot do it, and when dry weather
comes it does not want it."
The people here are beginning to
advocate plan of repairing and
making public roads ON some scien-
tiic plan and business principle
divorced from political tgaasosss.
