Responds to DIR. Wells Letter

Mr.. EDITOR:
In your issue of December 18th, you
published an open letter from DR.. Chas.
A. Wells to the people of Prince
Georges County in which he outlines
proposition to bond the county for
800, 900 to be apportioned among the
four road districts and to be used solely
for the construction of permanent
roads. He invites discussion through
the public press.
When the present road law was be-
fore the Legislature our people were
discussing it and lining up for and
against it long before they knew its
provisions and even now, owing to the
difficulty of obtaining copies of the law
it is almost impossible to find person
who is familiar with it. l hope there
for that DIR. Wells will see fit to go
more fully into proposed details before
he expects the public to express opinion
on the new bill he is about to introduce
in the next Legislature.
There is hardly a county in Maryland
that would respond more quickly than
Prince Georges to comprehensive
and we'll connected system of good
roads provided the money to- build them
be economically and judiciously expend-
ed and I have no doubt that if we can
satisfy ourselves that the provisions of
DR.. Wells bill will absolutely secure
that economy and such fairness and
wisdom in selection of roads to be built
as will equitably benefit every section
of the county, be will find ample sup
port for his proposition.
Owing to the rapid increase of
population near the District of Columbia
and the consequent demand for new
roads and streets through subdivisions
with numbers of voters and assessable
basis to back it, there would seem to
be a danger that our outlying districts
might come in for long delayed and
| very small end of this proposed general
| road improvement. l, for one, would
be opposed (although open to convic-
tion) to any plan that did not practical
| ly confine the basis of operation to the
relative road mileage at present ex-
listing between the several election
districts of the county. The fairness
of ratio of expenditure based on local
population and assessable basis would
be more apparent than real, because in
the long run our county must be consid-
cred asa whole in any great scheme
for material development and its
farthest corner and poorest section
should receive the consideration it is
entitled to on account of it surface
area and present road mileage.
1t is to be hoped that a fair outline
of the proposed bill will be published as
soon as possible so that we may study
its provisions in detail before the Legis-
lature has it under consider alton and
discussion.

WILDCAT WAS NO
TERROR TO THIEF
Certainly Not, for Didn't He

The lucky star of thieves must have
been in the ascendency last night for
within a few feet Of large leopard
and bad tempered wildcat somebody
stole twenty-three canary birds from
Hunters Animal Shaw, at Third and
Shipley streets. Entrance was ef-
fected through a window on the Third
street side Of the building and the
burglars were lucky in not being torn
to pieces by the leopard and wildcat.
Mr. Hunter says of course, It is no
press agent story and accounts for
their escape from being torn up, to the
fact that the keepers Of the animals,
before going to bed gave each one OF
them a bone. There are i've keepers
carrying army revoi~ who sleep IN

there. Why the idea, that this should

guished in that part Of the building.
Upon reaching the second floor they
were shocked to find Mr.. Bromley lay
ing there on the floor burned so badly
that life was nearly extinct.
The men at once took him from
there into his home and summoned
physicians, who administered restora-
tives. His condition was such, how
ever. that death ensued in a very few
minutes after the arrival Of the doc
tor.
The damage to the garage was com
paratively small II is said by those
who are we'll acquainted with Mr.
Bromley that he did not smoke, and
for that reason there is nothing "a
suggest the origin of the fire. No one
was employed there or known to be
In the building.
At the inquest last night verdict
was given that Mr.. Bromley came tc
his death from burns sustained in Q
fire of unknown origin.
1t is thought the fire was caused by
an explosion OF gasoline.
Whether the explosion occurred OF
the first. or second floors of the garage
! is a mystery. The machine was on the
first floor and the flames seemed ferc
est there, but Mr.. Bromley was found
on the second floor Whether he was
| burned on the first floor and made his
way with clothing flaming TO the sec.
