BETTER MARYLAND ROADS

Many Favor Improving "old Stage

September 5. 1905
The prospective expenditure of s226,Up
in constructing permanent highways IN
Prince George county is arousing more
interest through this section than any
proposition that has come before the peo-
pie for many years. The Maryland legis-
lature this year authorized a bond issue
of 5000, 900 for the building of macadam
roadways throughout the state, and the
allotment TO trince George county is
S2226 600.
With this latter sum ii is estimated that
about fifty miles of road Will be built, but
the point that is causing all the excite
men, is the selection of the particular
roads to be improved Wednesday of this
week over 200 citizens representing prac-
tically every section in the county Went
to Baltimore at the invitation of the
good roads commission, and arguments In
favor of different routes for these high
ways were forcibly presented.
Perhaps the largest and most enthu-
sastic delegation was the one appearing
for the Old Stage road over which Uncle
Sans stage coaches carrying mail be-
tween Washington and Annapolis ran
many years ago. The argument was made
that this road is practically an air line
between Washington and the capital city
of Maryland; that 1t passes through four
districts of the county, Bladensburg.
Kent, Bowie and Queen Anne, and that
it taps all the small towns on the Penn
sylvania railroad north of Landover. This
road terminates at Priests bridge, over
the Patuxent river, and from that point
proceeds to Annapolis, via Chesterfield
G. c. Magruder. clerk of the Maryland
court of appeals and a resident of Upper
Marlboro, was the strongest advocate of
this highway.
Central Avenue Road.
Another large delegation appeared in
was one of the tentative routes selected
by the commission at recent conference
held in Marlboro. This road begins at the
terminus Of Central avenue, in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and runs through Kent,
old village of Queen Anne, on the Patux-
ent. 1t is said to pass through the most
prosperous trucking section of the state,
and to be the shortest route between
Washington and Annapolis.
Judge George c. Merrick and State
Senator William B. Clagett spoke in favor
of the completion of the old Marlboro
pike, which has been macadamiZed from
Washington to Forestville. under the
Shoemaker law. From Forestville to
Marlboro is about eight miles, and the
advocates of this road assert that it is
about as much, if not more, travelled than
any highway in this section of the state
The proposed highway beginning at
Mattawoman, on the Charles county line,
and passing Camp Springs and other
fertile sections of Prince George county
will connect Charles county with Wash
ington city, and will be the realization of
hope that has been in the breasts of
Southern Maryland people for many
years. This highway is Familiarity known
as the 'old T. B. road
