Mr.. Talbot on the Abolition of Toll
Gates.-Discussing the toll gate question few
days ago Congressman Talbot said: Speak
ing for myself and for that sentiment of Balti
more county as l under stand it, should say
that the State Road Commission ought to rid
the county of toll gates will go further and
say that it is the paramount duty of the Com
mission to rid the whole State of toll-gates. ]
am not criticising the Commission. l think it
is doing, very good work; Cut out the toll
but they are paying more in tolls than they are
in taxes. I have heard of case in which the
executors of well-to-do farmer, who neglected
to pay his toll three or four years before he
died, had to pay So, 600 to turnpike company.
This sum exceeded his taxes for the same
period.
1T has been said that am counsel for one
or more turnpike companies of Baltimore
county. 1t is falsehood. | am notand never
have been counsel for a turnpike company
in my county. I have no private interests to
kxrho hot ho fol
to be abolished. We shall have no free roads
until the tollgates are relics of the past. If
the Road Commissioners will look into the
question they will ascertain that the York
turnpike and some other turnpikes passing
through Baltimore county will he turned over
to the State if the State will agree to keep them
in repair, and l believe the State agrees to keep
in repair all roads improved by it. We have
had our experience with toll-roads and toll
gates. / recall the interesting historical fact
that the residents of one section of Baltimore
county forcibly abolished the toll gate
years ago.
1--WE shall welcome the Road Commissioners
when they visit Baltimore county this week.
We can show them few miles of improved
roads. Indeed. Baltimore county has better
roads than any county in theStat Wetackled
the good road question many years ago and we
have solved 1t. An engineer from Minnesota,
who was connected with the Geological Survey,
told me two or three years ago that Baltimore
county had the best public roads he ever saw
and at the least cost. We have built these
roads for you city people. You city people do
not know it, but it is fact that Baltimore has
the most extensive and most beautiful suburbs
of any city in this country. If you don't be-
lieve me Investigate for yourself
again l say rid the State of toll.gates.
When the Road Commissioners do that we'll
start the improved road question along the
right lines"
Mr.. Richardson Has Some NEW Style"
Turkeys.-Mr. Robert c. Richardson, mer
chant, of Churchville, has recently developed
a species of turkey which may become more
valuable to him in the future than even his
fast horses. 1t is quite common to hatch tur-
KEY eggs under chicken hens, the serious OBJ
lection being that the four weeks period ofin-
cubation is an unnaturally long one for chick
en-, but Mr.. Richardson now has dozen fine
turkeys Matched in two weeks.
Several weeks ago one of his clerks took in
thirteen turkey eggs in the course of daily trade
and when Mr.. Richardson heard of it later in
the day the eggs were taken home and placed
under hen instead of being sold to a city con-
sumner as freshly-laid eggs.
In two weeks time Mr.. Richardson found
himself in possession oftwelve healthy turkeys
which he prizes very highly. Starting at once,
as the thrifty merchant should, to advertise his
