The Prince Georges delegation was
an emphatic one. Mr.. c. G. Magruder,

ed the following: The Old Stage road

long, via Bladensburg, Collingt on,
to Priest Bridge to Chesterfield. Mr..
Magruder presented a letter from MI
James T. Woodward, president of the
Hanover National Bank, New York,
who owns big place in Prince Georges
county, favoring the Old Stage route.
Judge George Merrick wanted the
road to run from Upper Marlboro to
Suitland and thence into Washington.
He also advocated diversion of the
road from Camp Spring to Suitland. In
concluding his remarks Judge Merrick
declared: "And you, too, Mr.. Magru-
der, should be in favor of this route"
Mr.. Magruder jumped up at this and
tartly replied:
81 will have you understand, sir, that
have as deep an interest in my county
as you or anyone else. sir"

from Centerville to the boulevard. Dir

from Centreville to Camp Spring and
wanted it to run from Indian Head to
Washington. Mr.. F. Snowden Hill de
clared that the tentative route provided
for "a miles of roads. He opposed the
roads from Camp Springs to Center.
vile and from Marlboro to Hardesty.
1--WE don't want the Sheriff road
said Mr.. Hill. "The building of the
Sheriff road will prevent the contruct
| ion of the Central avenue line"

Anne's Parish advocated the Central

The Maryland Oyster Season

The Maryland oyster season opened
on Tuesday. 1t is an event of interest
to all persons with discriminating
palates, and also one of distinct impor-
lance in commercial and industrial
sense 1t means employment and reve
nue. for thousands of tongers and dred
gers. 1t assures work in the packing
houses for many persons. If all reports
be true, it means plenti ful one OF the
most delicious of foods for the people
of Maryland. Therefore the opening of
the oyster season is hailed with satisfac-
ton. Under the protection anG stimu-
Ius of the Oyster Culture law the in
dustry in this State should, in good
season, be restored to its former impor-
lance, when Maryland led the United
States not only in the quality of its
oyster, but in production also. And it
may be confidently asserted that if the
people of this State make wise use of
the resources and opportunities which
the Chesapeake and its tributaries afford
for oyster culture, the time is not far dis
tant when the Maryland oyster will be
a source of wealth surprising the best
days in the history of the industry IN
this state.

the most important of all. It is proposed

submitting to the people amendment eX-
tending the life of franchises TO thirty-fve

proved. All the amendments will be submit
ted first TO the city council next Friday morn
