The Roads Movement to be Pushed
with Vigor.-At the weekly meeting of the
Good Roads Association OF Baltimore county,
held at Hotel Junker, Baltimore, last Saturday,
resolution was adopted expressing the sense
of the association that the roads engineer of
the county be given power to dismiss district
supervisors for cause, the power OF relnstate-
ment being given the Highways Commission.
1t was argued that this will compel prompt
obedience TO the engineers orders.
The association will have made plan of the
main roads throughout the county by the en-
gineer and presented at the next meeting for
discussion after which copies will be sent
throughout the county.
Meetings will be held to perfect the system
when the association will turn its efforts to-
ward devising means by which the money
shall be raised for the building of these roads.
The association was unanimous IN the opln-
ion that all money shall be spent on main
roads and the county treated as whole. This.
however does not mean that the district fund
levied at present for the repair of roads shall be
disturbed.
