over the question OF how much money is
to be paid into the rebel treasury TO

the proposals considered two weeks ago.

BELTSVILLE ROAD
WILL BE IMPROVED
VIGOROUSLY Bad Stretch Between Here and Baltimore to
Be Put in Shape for otor Traffc-Now Prac-
tically impossible.
BY HARRY WARD.

1t will be pleasing news to Washing
ton motorists that the notoriously bad
stretch of road lying between Belts
Vile and Contee, on the Washington
Baltimore boulevard, Is to be improved.
Under the direction of the State high
way commission of Maryland a force of
workmen will begin tomorrow to put
this section of road In shape for motor
traffic.
At the present time It is practically
impossible owing to the numerous mud
holes which are always In evidence
after a heavy rainfall. In repairing the
road the highway commission plans TO
use the large piles OF stag that line
the road for several miles. This Stag Is
the refuse from foundry at Muirkirk.
small station adjacent to the boule-
ward, and after the supply along the
roadside Is exhausted additional mate
rial will be obtained from the foundry.
The repairs will be only temporary, as
the commission plans to make a new
section of roadway to take the place Of
the Beltsville- Contee section This new
roadway. work on which will begin
about April I. will be the connecting
link in the boulevard. 1t will be laid
west Of the present roadway, and will
do away with the grade crossing at Con-
tee, as well as eliminate the soft clay
road between Beltsville and Contee.
While hundreds Of motorists use the
boulevard In their trips between WASH
ington and the Monumental City, the
Contee "cut," as 1t Is popularly known,
mars the pleasure of the trip, as 1t is
seldom In condition for motor traffic,
because Of the heavy condition. The
Beltsville- Contee stretch il about FIVE
miles long, and has caused motorists
more trouble than any other roadway
In this part of the country. Credit for
having the roadway improved mast be
given to the Automobile Club Of Mary
land, which has advocated the compile
ton of the boulevard between this city
and Baltimore for a year or more.
Motorists this week have had their
attention directed to the big racing car
