County Engineer James Hendricks has
about completed road map OF the coun-
ty. His work shows that there are ap-
proximately 800 miles of roads, including
turnpikes, in the entire county. The Six
ty miles now treated as turnpikeS will be
greatly increased by the addition OF the
Leetown and Summit Point roads. OF
the 258 miles OF county roads, other than
turnpikes, 40 miles are in Charles Town
district; so miles in Kabletown district ;
So miles in Middleway district; SO miles
in Shepherdstown district, and IS in Har-
per's Ferry district. The county court
has already passed orders making the
roads from Charles Town to Leetown and
from the former to Summit Point turn
pixies, but these will not share in the adj
ditional appropriations for turnpikes until
revenue is available from the next levy.
