Want the Falls Road Given Attention
On Wednesday a delegation composed of
Messrs. M. L. Garrett, Patrick Mcmahon, John
McPhail and Charles Kaste, called on the
County Commissioners and asked that the
bridges be repaired and the bed of the Falls
road be mended from Mount Washington to
Brooklandville. A general discussion of the
road question ensued. The delegation con-
tended that the county should give them prop
agreed ought to be done, but Mr. Mann said
that to furnish such roads as was cOntended
for and in the condition sought would take all
the money appropriated for roads in Baltimore
county. When the improvements are made
and the road in question is put in good order,
over to them, for the Board would not want
road to maintain with string to it. The Com
missioners said that their counsel, Mr. Osborne
l. Yellott, had the matter under consideration,
and as soon as the Board heard from him they
would at once take some definite action in the
premises.
MR.. ENsoR GETS IN THE GAME.
Attorney John s. Ensor appeared before the
Highways Commissioners on Thursday as the
representative of a number of persons residing
along the Falls road and vigorously protested
against the condition of that road and the
bridges thereon. He said:
I'm the condemnation proceedings the court
passed final order forfeiting the charter of
the Falls Road Turnpike Company and pass
edl the road over to the county according to
the acts of Assembly controlling such proceed
ings. The county so far has refused to recog-
nize this order. Upon examination it was
found that the time to appeal from this action
of the court had passed. The county, claim
ing it was not a party to the weddings re-
fuses to recognize the road as county road,
vet lately county officials have condemned the
bridges and posted signs. As the charter of the
turnpike company has been forfeited, and the
county will not accept the road, it is in the air
and presents the unenviable spectacle of an
old and accustomed thoroughfare constantly
travelled by the people within short distance
of the city in such condition that no one cares
to have anything to do with it. In the mean
time the courts order passing the road to the
county stands, but nothing under it is being
done to make travelling safe.
THE residents ask relief of the county, and
a conference is being arranged to raise the
issue IN proceeding 10 determine the cOuntys
responsibility, and whether or not it can ignore
the courts order. 1t is likely the matter will
be taken to the Court of Appeals, as the situa-
ton is one of the most serious that confronts
the Highways Commission. The expense of
putting the road in repair will be many thous
ands of dollars, while the United Railways
Company claims franchise privileges. which
the county desires the property owners in the
meantime are suffering inconvenience, loss
and possible serious injury by reason of the
unsafe condition of the road and bridges"
