A SIGNIFICANT CONTRAST

ECIL COUNTY sold S25 ooC
worth OF road bonds at Sos. sS3,
with accrued interest, on Tues
day last Some time ago the State
Administration opened bids for the
bonds OF the State roads and each
bidder offered the State price below
par and under the Boards minimum for
a sale The State officials we're up
against the proposition OF trying to
borrow from some one else or finding
a means 10 give the lenders a better
bond. When Baltimore City had oc-
casion to borrow. few weeks ago,
her bonds sold in the open market,
above par, with bidders a-plenty. In
other words. where Cecil county and
Baltimore have succeeded in market

ton has failed. That is, the element

Road Building proposition is being
handled: Does il not go to prove the

gentlemen in charge OF the gigantic
enterprise, from the governor down,
are not big enough for the job;
