A Novel Proposition to Settle the Question

To THE .i<GIS:
Now that the question of which route
the WoolScv road shall axe from Church
vile to Havre de Grace has been openly
discussed, it may be no harm for one who
has no particular interest to express an
opinion.
Tie Farmers Club took the initiative
in the discussion, and by its suggestions
placed the County Commissioners in
rather an embarrassing position. Their
action, no doubt, was entirely sincere as
to the motive of merely giving an opinion
irrespective of any view that the Com
missioners might take. Nevertheless it
threw the whole county into the discus
sion and forced men to take sides i'll an
argument that the Commissioners alone
can settle. Both sides present strong
points and it will he hard to decide
against one or the other.
A. meeting was held in the Court House
on Tuesday and Representatives from
both the Aldino and Level routes thor
oughlv discussed the subject, with the re-
suit that if the. Commissioners decide in
favor of the former, their action will
cause the farmers of the Aldino route to
throw mud in the faces of the Board,
which will also lose their support. II
they accept the other alternative, vice
versa. ANY action that our county
fathers may take will throw them i'll a
partial light to either one section or the
other.
Now comes my suggestion. 1t is an
ugly, but true saving, that "a man can
Judge his friends by the depth of his pocket
book, and if the representatives arc so
anxious for the road they should be will
ing to contribute to the fund togctit. Why
not let the farmers on each route draw
up paper and subscribe the amount
that they are willing to give to secure the
coveted prize; these papers to be given
| under seal to the Commissioners, who
will open them, and the locality that sub,
scribes the greatest amount get the road.
This will relieve the Commissioners. as
the location of the route will be settled by
those most interested in the matter.
