Engineer Crosby and the Roads.-On
neer for Baltimore county, mailed circular
letter to the road commissioners of the several
districts in which he said: Experience has
proved the ACCESSIBILITY from reasons of con-
venience, economy, etc., of doing considerable
work on the county roads IN the early spring;
Heretofore it has been customary for the road
supervisors or commissioners in many cases to
exhaust the annual road fund available June
1st each year before the first of the following
January. This has resulted either in the
spring work being left undone until too late in
the following year or, if it were done, IN the
district fund. This latter was not only clearly
illegal, but also greatly hampered the work
during the ensuing fiscal year and did not re-
lieve the situation another year.
1.-THE road fund of your district this year,
together with the appropriations made you
| from the general fund, is expected to provide
for the care of your roads until the LIST OF May,
| 1904"
The letter closes by giving the amounts OF
the road fund in each district for the year and
stating that these, with the appropriations
| made from the general fund, should be suff1.
cient to provide for the care of the roads until
Nav l. 1904 1t also gives the anonnts ex-
pended bv each district in the last three years
| to care for the roads from January LIST to May
| LIST and states that these amounts shall be re-
| tanned on hand January 1, 1904, to cover ex
pendtures on roads between that date and the
| end of the fiscal year, May 81, 1904.
| Commissioners are notified that If they ex
pend more than the road fund, less the amount
needed from January LIST to May LIST, the billi
will not be approved.
