about the action of the State Roads Commits

This road is one of the most important for
travel in Baltimore county for truck farmers
and others. Teams are going night and day
Since it has been declared State road The mum
ber of automobiles has increased daily, and
when they go into the frog ponds in The middle
of the road and the deceitful ruts, throwing off
the ladies' peach baskets" exclamaiions are
made very frequently and comments of the
real neglect in endangering lives and inviting
accidents. The road is particularly rough from
Overlea to Perry Hall. On Putty Hill the
guard-rails need repairing, and there are large
holes in the centre of the road. Near White
| Marsh bridge there is carline that extends
about two feet on the road and is covered up
with cross-ties. The people are loud in their
| denunciations and say instead of Belair road
it should be called The Orphans Road"
