al SOM Of The r-asons why this b,uI.
esard should come through our cf,v
IL Is the most direct and feasible loo,
ton, aud sonld furnish an iaani,eiv
better road bed than am other Ioc..
tion. The grading 81 through Mont
demery county and Frederick cauury
would be x remedy light, aud there
would BE- only one stream, the Monoc-
asy, to bridge, and the road could he
built a. less expense than on any other
location
But there is another good reason
why It should come through Frederick.
ana that IL because Frederick CITY il
one of The most historic cities, not only
OF TINS Sta'e, hut Of The country.
frederick gave TO the country a
cniri Justice OF the Supreme Court.
ana perhaps the greatest that the coun-
Try has ever had. aud an Attorney
GENERAL. Frederick has given the
otale Two Governors. But there is a
sun greater reason why this highway
should BE- SO located a. tocome through
Pfedrrirk. and that Is because of the
battlefield Of the battle Of the Monoc-
acy. Tne chief inspiration projecting
TINS road, as we have said, is history
and sentiment.
ms being 30, il seems to us, that
sucn highway surely ought to pass
'ne oattie field Of Monocacy. It
was one OF the bIoodiest battles Of the
war and momentous consequences
hung upon 1t. 1t Is believed that that
battle saved Washington City. Now
