The road meeting on Tuesday evening at
Guild Hail was addressed by Mr.. Elmer K.
Halle of the Towson bar, who gave his hearers
much data on the road question. Those pres
ent put themselves on record in favor OF a
bond issue for the improvement of the roads
in the rural districts. The road tax each
district pays controls the amount spent on the
roads For instance: The 10th district pays
something over $4,000 road tax and has SO
miles of roads to keep in order with that
amount of money. The 9th district has less
roads and more taxes and it has $500 mile
for its roads. The rural districts need
some method that is wise to permanently inn
prove the system of roads. Politics should be
kept out Of road making
