to have been removed, and the work will,
it is thought, begin just as soon as the
preliminaries can be arranged and the
weather permits. The lowest bid, which
was a little more than $4,000, was well
under the estimate of the state highway
engineer. AS the road will be built under
the Shoemaker law, half of the expense
will be borne by the state. The other half
will be raised by an issue Of $500 in
bonds and contribution of $500 from
the Chevy Chase Land Company, leaving
about S1.30O to be appropriated by the
county commissioners or raised by inter-
ested property owners. The construction
Of the road will give a splendid thorough
