Here Are Some Excellent Road Sugges-
tions.-"Ohserver" writes as follows to the
Baltimore Sun: ut has been stated on good
authority that only about 40 miles of new road
could be constructed in Baltimore county with
its share of the State loan, and as $1,000 mile
would be the cost of building such an amount
OF new road it would indicate 1920, 900 as Bal
tmore county's share of the loan. 1t has also
been stated that one new road of 40 miles
length would be built with the county's share
of the loan. If this were done only a small
part of the county people would be benefited,
no matter where this road were constructed, as
it would be out of reach of the majority of
them.
Would it not be better plan for the proper
authorities to condemn about $50 miles of the
turnpikes within the county running into Bal
timore, paying the stockholders fair price for
their stock, as the latter might appear to be
worth from the dividends? Some of the roads
pay no dividends, hence their stock is of no
value. Allowing about $50, 900 for condemna-
ton award there would be $780, available
for repairs to the 100 miles of turnpike, and as
these roads already have rights of way. BRIDES,
grades and foundations about $1,000 q mile
would put them in order. Baltimore then
using its allotment of 81 600, 900, or as much of
it as might be needed, to repair the portions of
turnpikes within the city limits, $50 miles or
more of good roads would be provided for the
city and county, to say nothing of the relief
lay, the city and county getting immediate
benefit from the loan leaving the Roads Com
missioners to pursue at their leisure work in
other parts of the State.
by this plan nearly four times as many
good roads would be provided as by the single
new road of 40 miles. With the highway now
building between Baltimore and Washington
an assured fact, and repairs as above described
to roads entering Baltimore, it and Baltimore
county will be well satisfied on the good roads
question for some time to come,
"As Baltimore is the largest city of Maryland,
and the parts ofthe county adjacent are thickly
populated, / can hardly see how the county g
share of the loan can be used to greater
advantage"
