of eventually using the road thus made as a
foundation for modern macadam. The past
year has been very destructive to the roads,
owing 10 the severe rains coming all at one
time. Notwithstanding this, the expenditures
have been comparatively small.
This year, owing to lack of funds and the
unfamilhrity of all concerned with the law,
work was not really begun until late in the
season, but with the balances now on hand for
use until the new levy is available, and with
better knowledge of the practical working of
the new system, greater and better results may
be confidently expected"
A tabulated statement from Mr. Crosby's re-
port is published in the advertising columns
of THE UNION today.
Against Incorporating Catonsville-But
the Plan Will Not be Dropped.-A large
meeting of the citizens of Gainesville was held
on Friday night of last week to consider tn e
proposition to have the town of Gainesville in
porated. Mr.. ] S. Wilson presided, and Mr.. }.
Frank Smith was secretary. Those who op-
posed corporation had canvassed the town
thoroughly and when the following resolution
was read and put to vote it was promptly
adopted:
'.Resolved, That we, citizens of Gainesville, in
town meeting assembled. declare our confidence
in the Commissioners of Baltimore county, and
in the light of past experience believe that they
will respond TO the needs of our village in re-
gard to the improving the sanitary conditions
and that we are opposed to having Gainesville
incorporated at the present time or to have any
act passed by our Legislature giving any com
mittee authority over US in any way whatever"
The resolution, however, will not in least
deter the party in the minority at the meet
ing to obtain a charter from the Legislature
to incorporate the town. Mr.. John Watson,
member of the committee that prepared the
charter submitted on Friday evening, said
that he was in favor of the move and that
such course may be taken. He said that
only a small portion of the taxpayers who
would be included in the incorporate limits
were present at the meeting and that the only
way to ascertain the sentiment of all the tax
payers was to ask the General Assembly to
pass an Incorporation act and have an election
to determine the question.
The report of the committee included the
following recommendations
l. That the inhabitants of Gainesville become
an incorporate body.
2. That the limits of the town constitute
parallelogram, the western boundary being
about 1880 to 1900 yards westerly and the
easterly boundary about the same distance
easterly from the intersection of Ingleside
avenue and the Frederick road. the northern
and soutern boundary being about LOCO yards to
the north and south of Frederick road.
3. That the town be governed by five com
and qualified voter and owner of real estate;
the commissioners to serve without pay and
their term of Office to be for one year.
4. The basis of taxation to be the county as
sessment.
5. The minimum limit of taxation to be 10
cents on the 500
the power to enforce the bylaws and rules OF
the town, to preserve order, protect the health
of the community, to provide Tor opening and
improving streets, the County Commissioners
shall continue to exercise the same rights and
powers and fulfill the same duties so far as
Gainesville is concerned, as now devolves upon
any one year more than the amount received
during the year.
7. Amendments to charter to be submitted to
the voters who are qualified to vote for town
s. The charter to be submitted to the legally
qualified voters residing within the limits for
