GOOD ROADS FOR MARYLAND
ROUTE IN MONTGOMERY SEIZED.
ULED FOR ADOPTION.
Ideal Pike Likely to Be Provided
From District of Columbia Line
to Hyattstown.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md. February -. 1909.
When the Maryland good roads commits
sion meets in Baltimore next Friday 10
definitely determine which roads through
out the state are to be improved with the
s., 900. 900 authorized by the last lesisla-
ture 10 be expended for road construc-
ton there is believed to be little doubt
that the route tentatively agreed upon for
this county will be definitely adopted. This
route extends from the District of Co
lumba line to Hyattstown, by way of
Rockville, Gaithersburg and Clarksburg,
and is tWenty-Seven miles in length. " HI e
the selection Will not, of course. be pleas
ing 10 everybody in the county. it is be-
iieved that no other route would give as
general satisfaction, and no serious pro-
tests against its definite selection are
looked for at Fridays meeting.
About ten years ago the road from the
District line TO Rockville was piked at a
cost of about S25,UO. 1t is estimated that
lit will cost the commission about $4,000
to place this section in tirst-class shape.
mile of Shoemaker pike has just been
completed between Rockville and Gath
crsburg, on which, it is thought, 1t Will
not be necessary to expend more than
lS1,GOU. AS the allotment for the county
is about S2OO,WN there will be about $3.50,
600 left for the improvement of the re-
manning sixteen miles of the route, which
is believed to be ample for the construc-
ton of a splendid pike.
To Acquire Toll Pixies.
That the toll pixies in the eastern sec
ton of the county will be turned over to
the good roads commission to be improved
and maintained at state expense there is
believed to be little doubt. A majority of
the stockholders are said to be in favor
of selling out at $1,000 mile and as
these pixies aggregate thirty-seven miles
in length. it will mean that S37 900 will
have to be raised by a bond issue and
that special tax will be levied against
the property in Olney. Colesvile and
Wheaton districts to raise funds for the
gradual redemption of the bonds and the
payment of the interest. which special
tax its is estimated, will be about or
Z cents on the 500 The question of a
bond issue will first have to be passed
upon by the taxpayers of the three dis
tricts, but ID is stated that there is no
doubt about its carrying by an over
whelmns majority.
If the toll roads are acquired by the
good roads commission it Is understood
they will not be very extensively i'm
proved for a year Or two. or until the
commission has additional money at its
disposal. They will, however. at once
be placed and maintained in better shape
than they have ever been and will, Of
course, be free to the public.
