To Get the Hauling Done More Cheaply.
The Baltimore NeWs says State Roads En-
gineer W. W. Crosby who may be in charge of
the work of constructing the great good roads
system of the State provided for by act of the
last Legislature, has been authorized by the
Geological Survey to consult with officials of
the various railroad companies with view of
obtaining the lowest possible rates for the
transportation ofcrushed stone to inland points
for use in building the roads.
It is believed that, in view of the great ad-
vantage good roads will prove to the railroads
on account of the facilities they will provide
for the hauling of farm produce to stations, the
railroads will allow very reasonable rate on
the stone to be used. 1t was pretty definitely
decided that the stone best suited for the pur
pose could be obtained from the Susquehanna
river quarries, and in this connection Governor
Crothers suggested that stone might be cheap
ly carried to Eastern Shore points in scows
towed by steamers of the State Fishery fleet
and by the iceboats.
The construction of the system of good roads
is one Of the biggest things undertaken in re-
cent years by the State, and the man in charge
of the actual work will occupy very import
ant position. The commission which will soon
be appointed by the Governor will be composed
of two members (officers or employees) of the
Geological Survey Commission, three other
men and the Governor and it will elect an en-
gineer to carry out the project which is going
to cost Maryland S.. 100000
