Have you, man with a family, ever
thought Of buying a lot i'll the town of
Frostburg, moving there to live so your
children would have the advantage Of

Public-ROad Movements.

Last week some people i'll Oakland
held a meeting and adopted measures
looking to securing a monopoly of Gar

One day this week similar meeting
was held i'll GrantSville, and without
exception all present favored placing the
county's portion of the fund named on
the National Pike connecting with the
Allegany county line east and the Penn
sylvania State line west.
Ever since Garrett has been a county

An important Matter.

The advertisement of MeSsrS. WEIGH,

tract considerable attention, inasmuch
as it shows the result of a crucial test
made last Saturday.
In this connection the JOURNAL is in
formed that Mr.. Brooks, of the II. G.
Brooks Company, the successful bidders
for the Broadway paving contract, has
said he
would use Maxwell brick if the Broad
way people asked for Them and thus give
them the benefit of the difference in price,
which would be about cents a square yard.
So if the people on Broadway should want
the Maxwell brick and will get consent of
Council to use them, they can have them at
the price quoted-Sl6.70 f. o. b. FrOstburg.
1t is an open question whether bidders
enjoyed a square deal Ill the stipula
ton that Fairmont brick only We're to
be used. The specification i'll this in

make test for any one in his presence free

After reading these statements it
might be worth the while of Mayor and

willingness to substitute the Maxwell
for the Hammond brick. The item of s
