GOOD ROADS ALMOST IN sIGRT.

GOOD ROADS ALMOST IN SIGHT.
The following article from the Baltimore
Nesos Of Saturday last will be found To be
of particular interest to all who are 10 favor
Of good roads:
The decision given at Towson yesterday
by Judge Burke to the effect that the act
passed by the last Legislature appropriating
$780, 900 annually TO be spent in improving
the roadways OF the State Is not unconstitu.
tIonal is the second great step forward in
the movement for good roads, which move.
ment has been gaining ground steadily In
Maryland during the past few years. The
first great forward step was bhe passage by
the Legislature of the appropriation bill, as
we'll as a constitutional amendment under
which II was designed 10 submit the whole
question OF roadway improvement to the
people, Because OF the fact that this con
stitutiona amendment, like the Poe dislran
chising amendment, was not signed by the
Governor, the question has been raised
whether the amendment was legally passed
ohA wv ooNNAhOA huo iNluotu huub lhT W
Issue the proclamation under which the
amendments would be put on the official
ballots next fall. The question Is now In
The courts, which will decide whether or not
the amendments shall be submitted 10 the
meanwhile, however, the Court of Appeals
will be asked to pass upon the direct appro.
priaton act, which Judge Burke yesterday
declared 10 be constitutional, and II the
higher court uphods Judge Burke there will
be no necessity for the adoption OF the con.
stitutonal amendment, although OF course
the amendment will have to be Submitted
70 the people II the courts declare that il
was legally passed.
In appropriAting the 100000 annually
for good roads the Legislature provided that
the money should be primarily allotted to
the counties in proportion 10 the mileage Of
their road systems, and given only In cases
where the counties, by proper legal action,
agreed to bear one.half OF the cost OF the
new construction. That this provision did
not In any way dampen the enthusiasm for
good roads, which has been manifest In
Maryland for the past two or three years, is
evideD, from the fact that practically every
county has already applied for portion Of
It's allotment, although the law docs not be.
come operative until January 1, 1905, and
some Of the counties have asked that # ALI
Of the appropriation lie not used up they be
given an extra allotment. Applications for
surveys OF more than 100 miles Of ROADWAY
have already reached the Geological Sur.
vey Commission, which has general charge
Of the roadway work, and In many cases
the county authorities have given the Com.
mission carte blanche to 60 ahead on lie own
lines. without regard TO cost, which will re.
suit 10 the building Of admirable roAdways. |

JACKSON TO CONTEST

From information received 1t seems to
have been settled that Congressman VIM
II. jackson will make q contest before Con.
gress for the seat OF Thomas A. Smith, who
was returned elected from the First Con-
gressional district. Mr.. Jackson's case is in
the hands Of Mr.. John G. Rose, Of Baltimore,
who. 1t is understood, will file notice of the
contest with the House Of Representatives
In few days. No announcement other than
the filing Of the notice lie expected, and the
Republican party msnagers are confident
that Mr.. Jackson will be seated.
Democrats from the First district say that
in case Mr.. Jackson does make q contest
they can only accept the situation, but that
before the House committee has finished
hearing the testimony in the case they will
make Mr.. Jackson wish he had not contest.
ed. He may, they say, succeed In having
Mr.. Smith unseated. but 1t will be at the
cost Of an exposure Of methods used by the
Republicans on the Eastern Shore that will
open the eyes Of citizens generally.
