Can't Get Together on the Boulevard
A number of property owners OF Roland Park
met on Friday night, 22d inst, by invitation
of Mr.. E. H. Bouton president of the Roland
Park Company, and discussed the assessments
levied by the Highways Commission of Balti-
more county for the proposed boulevard to be
built from the city limits to the Park. He
called the meeting to order at the Woman's
Club building, and Mr.. Clymer Whyte was
made chairman and Mr.. Thomas H. Syming-
ton, secretary.
Though the session lasted about three hours
the meeting accomplished nothing in the way
of settlement of the differences between the
company and the residents of Roland Park as
to the means to be employed for the construc-
ton of the road The residents object to the
was the spirit of the meeting. This phase was
explained by Mr.. Ralph Robinson, DR.. 81. o.
Reik and others. A suggestion by Mr.. John
R. Cary that it was the sense of the residents
that the boulevard should be built, provided
the assessment was fair, was approved, and
Mr.. Cary was asked to put his ideas in writing.
The bone of contention with the property
owners is the fact that the tract Of land en-
bracing from 30 to 40 acres on the city end of
the proposed boulevard, just back of Mayor
Timanus' house, escapes assessment entirely.
This land is owned by the Roland Park Com
pany, and, the residents claim, will receive a
greater benefit from the boulevard than will
any other property adjoining or close to it..
The Roland Park Company contends that it
does not need the boulevard to develop this
land, but that it can reach the city end of the
boulevard through private roads which 1t will
construct.
Residents of Roland Park object to the as
sessment specifically and on general principles.
They claim that if they submit to it for the
length of the boulevard already proposed
l.750 feet-they will be required to pay more
whenthe road is further extended.

Against the Shoemaker Road LAVA
letter from Rockville, Md, says The Shoe.
maker road law was the principle subject of
discussion at recent meeting of the Enterprise
Club, of Montgomery county, composed of
progressive farmers. 1t seemed to be the gen.
eral opinion of the membership that the meas
ure is one from which the farmers and tax
payers do not receive just return from the
money expended. 1t was also the opinion
for the increased taxation. While admitting
that the miles of road which have been con-
structed in this county under the Shoemaker
law are more permanent than most of the
roads of the county, the club holds that with
the same amount of money expended under a
more economical system more miles of roads
throughout the county could be constructed.
1t was also claimed that the one mile of road
here and there built is really of no benefit to
the farmer in hauling heavy loads, as the road
on each side of the improved mile is such that
at certain seasons of the year no heavy loads
can be hauled over them. Believing the Shoe
maker law is an unjust measure on the tax
PAYERS and that it causes wasteful expenditure
of money, the Enterprise Club puts itself on
record as favoring an early repeal of the law"

String Beans All Right.-Week before
last THE UNION reprinted from the Baltimore
american short letter wherein Parent" found
much fault with teacher in public school
because she had directed girl in her class
to bring to school string bean to be used
in nature study. Parent" thought this an
exhibition of ignorance on the part of the
teacher because there are no string beans to be
had at this time of the year. But an annony-
nous correspondent of THE UNION rather for
chilly proves the contrary by sending US the
following:
This id foolishness of the enclosed clip
ping from your worthy paper caused me to
walk to the garden where, not to my surprise,
l found string beans in abundance. pulled
the one l am sending you simply to show
that this off egotistical writer was gloating
over his own ignorance
The string bean reached US in perfect condi-
ton and it proves that Parent" and not the
teacher was ''off.'

Farmer Councilman.-The Belair Democrat
Gays: "Mr. Charles A. Councilman, of Wor.
Ellington Valley, Baltimore county, is one of
the leading farmers in the State. By his prac.
teal methods of cattle feeding on home-raised
food he has attracted the attention of the .. s:
Department of Agriculture and the Maryland
Experiment Station, who are watching Mr..
Councilman's experiments with much inter-
est. He is keeping large herd of dairy cows
on all home grown foods, consisting of alfalfa
hay, corn and cowpea ensilage, and is .produc-

average dairyman who has to buy cow feed.
Mr.. Councilman is firm believer in alfalfa
hay and raised most successful crop the past
season."
