Marble Hill, 9Th District.-Our Improve.
| ment Club is making an effort to have the
/ York turnpike company improve the condi-
| ton of the road north of Cockeysville. Mr..
| Carroll p. Benson, the secretary, received q
favorable reply to the letter sent the company:
| At times our roadways are bad enough ana
| now the complaint is general. We are not

the roads solid as they are less expense to
maintain afterwards. 1t is not commendable
| to those in charge that the county has such
poor roads and that we are required to support
| toll roads.
