Must Be Carefully Drained First--
Interest In Decision Rendered BY
Judqe Burke

All who are interested in good roads
i'll Maryland are awaiting anXiouSly for
the decision of the Court of Appeals on
the appeal taken from the decision of
Judge Burke of Baltimore county, who
declared the law appropriating S2OO,0D
annually of the funds in the State Treas
ury to- aid the counties in building high
ways to be constitutional.
If Judge Burke's decision is sustained.
the actual work of improving the high
ways will begin as soon as spring
weather makes the task possible. Should
the Court of Appeals decide that it is
unconstitutional 10 take the money from
the State Treasury for the purpose con-
templatcd in the bin passed by the last
Legislature. nothing can be done toward
improving the roads in the counties I'M
til the voters of Maryland adopt the
amendment to the constitution authoriz,
ing the appropriation. This amendment
will come before the voters next fall 1t
will in all probability be approved by the
voters. but even in this case it would be
impossible to begin work. for the st7t-
son when country roads become frozen
would be too close ut hand.
