SELL ROAD
TUESDAY
The Brunswick and Bir-
mingham to Go from
the Block

Tuesday, between the legal hours of
sale, before the court house door, Com
missioner c. D. Ogg, of the Brunswick
and Birmingham railroad, will place
that line up for sale at public outcry
and it will be knocked down to the
highest and best bidder.
While there has been some little
talk about other bidders than the At
lantie and Birmingham, it is hardly
probable that any other person other
than representative of the A. & b.
will make a bid on the road. OF
course there may be a surprise and
some one who has kept quiet in the
past will be present and attempt to
buy in the line, but The News feels
safe in the assertion that one bid only
will be made and that the receiver
will knock the road down to the Allan
tic and Birmingham. :.
This road has been operating the
B. & b. ever since it went into the
hands OF a receiver, in fact since it
was sold, and it is quite certain that
the sale Tuesday will finally make the
property of the B. & b. the property
of the A. & b.
After the sale Receiver Ogg will
bring the affair of the road to a
close as rapidly as possible and he
will porbably be discharged by the
court in a few weeks, after which the
Brunswick and Birmingham viii pass
out of existence.

Highways Engineer johnson
Gives Estimates.

All who are interested in goods roads
in Maryland are waiting anxiously for
the decision of the Court of Appeals or
the appeals taken yesterday from
the decision of Judge Burke. who de-
clared the law apprupriating 100000
annually of the funds in the State Treas
ury TO aid the counties in building high
ways 10 be Constitutional.
If Judge Burke's decision is sustained
the actual work of improving the high
ways will begin as SOON as spring wealth
er makes the task possible. Should the
Court of Appeals decide that il is uncon-
stitutional To take the money fro the
State Treasury for the purpose contem
plated in the bill passed by the last Legis-
lature. nothing can be done toward i'm
proving the roads in the counties until
the voters of Maryland adopt the amend
ment To the Constitution authorizing the
appropriation. This amendment will
come before the voters next fall. Ii will
in all probability be approved by the
voters. but even in this case il would he

WITH CbuutTy TDduS become frozen

While the action of the Court is await
ed with interest. neither the Maryland
Geological Survey mr. the Commission
trs in the different counties have been
idle. AT the head of the Highway Divi-
sion of the Geological Survey is Mr.. A
n. Johnson, highway engineer, who has
been officially notified by 10 counties
that they are prepared tn take advan-
tage of State aid in improving the roads.
The counties are;
Allegany, Frederick.
Washington. Prince Georges,
Baltimore, Hartford
Queen Anne's Talbot,
Caroline, Anne Arundel
The County Commissioners of Cecil.
Wicomico and Dorchester have also an
nounced their intention of taking advan-
tage of the law. but as yet have not des-
ignated the particular roads which they
wish TO have improved under the provi-
>ions of the act In every case the roads
set aside for improvement will cost
more than the funds allotted, indicating
that the Commissioners in the counties
are alive TO the situation.
MIR. Johnson estimates that each mile
of road will cost on an average about
$1,000 The work is to be done under his
supervision, according to specifications
he prescribes. Half OF the cost is to be
borne by the counties. and the money
is TO be distributed among them accord
ing to the numberlof miles of roads with
in their limits. Should any of the coun-
ties refuse To take advantage of the law,
the money which would have gone To
them will be distributed among the other
counties.
Under the regulations provided by En-
gineer johnson, the roads which the
County Commissioners desire to improve
are first graded and drained. Then
foundation of rough stone will be put
down. On this will be placed second
layer of stone smaller than the first.
The top of the road will be made of pull
verified stone and the surface rounded
in such way as to give sufficient
slope toward the sides for the water to
run off.
