Mr.. Merryman and the Automobiles
Mr.. George H. Merryman, president of the
Mutual Fire Insurance Company in Baltimore

follows:
"Gentlemen Your notice Of my expert

UNION last week, is entirely correct and thank
you for making it public. as such outrages
ought to be spread far and wide. If could

would try to make it as costly for him as pos
sible. But these numbers haze a habit of get.

they can't be read, so think good amend

compel them to have them fast to the machine
and in much larger figures, so that they could
be read at distance. also think the driver
should carry the number on his cap and in
that case, if you miss one you may catch the
other. l Twill also add that gentlemen don't need

Don't Like the Road Law.-The Belair
Times of last week said: 1T is said that the
State Road Engineer estimated the cost of con-
structing the Fallston road at $1,000 per mile,
while the actual cost has been about SO, 600 per
mile. The State furnishes its part of the cost,
based upon the estimate Of the Road Engineer.
and thus it turns out that instead of furnishing
one.half the cost we get only onc-third. Our
people want good roads but no surer plan to
Chill their interest in the subject could be de-
vised than to run the cost up to such excessive
figures. We understand the County Commits
sioners are helpless under the terms of the
Shoemaker road law and that, after making
reouisition for State aid, are at the mercy Of
the Road Engineer"

term in Congress worth something to his con-
stituents by obtaining for them some improve
nlents which have long been needed in Westchester

obtain a federal building for Yonkers, and ne has
already introduced a bill calling for S25o0l0 ap-
preparation for this purpose.
Mr.. Andrus is said to have received the ap-
pointnnent as a member of the Committee Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds for the express purpose
of furtherng this project. One version of his ap-
pontlnent is that he met Speaker Cannon shortly
after the election fall at the Lewis and Clars
Exposition, where the two men became friends
Mr. Cannon did not know that Mr.. Andrus was
Congressman, but when he learned Of the fact ha
told him that ne would be glad TO place him on
any committee that he might choose. When th9
appointment Of committees came UP Mr.. Andrus
reminded Speaker Cannon Of his promise and SAID
that he would like to be on the Committee or
Public Buildings and Grounds. The Speaker 40
once granted his request Mr. Andrus says that
If he does not do anything else as a member or
the committee he will that YOnkers gets a
public building, as 1t is much entitled TO reCoS-
milton as Poughkeepsie and some OF the smaller
cities of the State which have been we'll proV1ded
for In this respect. Congressman Andrus has also
obtained the promise of appropriations for the I'M
provement Of the harbors at East chester. New
Rochelle and I.archmont. There are dangerous
reefs in these harbors, and shippers and yachts
men have frequently appealed to Congress TO 1naks
