To test the contention of Senator Blair
Lee and other residents Of Montgomery
county that more durable and better
roads can be constructed at less cost than
those built under the Shoemaker law. the
good roads commission has decided to
build mile of road in this county It
will be constructed. according to Senator
Lees ideas, Of Montgomery county ma
terial, and the work will be done entirely
Independent of the state geological sur
vey, which has charge of the construction
of all Shoemaker pixies. 1t is understood
the mile will be built on the Frederic
road between Rockville and Gaithersburg.
adjoining the mile of Shoemaker pike on
the Rockville end.
a section of pike has recently been
built by the county commissioners on the
Rockville end of the Jamestown road.
and it is the opinion of many persons
that 1t Is fully as satisfactory and sub
stantial as a Shoemaker road, although
1t cost several thousand dollars less a
mile.
