ton Excerpts to Report of
Maryland Commission.

| BALTIMORE, October pa commit
| tee of residents of Montgomery county,
headed by State Senator Blair Lee, en-
| tered vigorous protest yesterday against
the criticism of the system Of road
| building in Montgomery county present
ed by a special committee of the state
cry county residents present at the meet
ing were Senator Lee, County Roads En-
gineer knight B. H. Warner, jr., F. c.
Hutton and others.
The special committee appointed by
the state roads commission consists of
Commissioner Miller, Chief Engineer
Shirley and F.. H. Zouck, to investigate
and report on road work done in Mont
gOInery county. The report, which was
presented yesterday, stated that great
deal of the stone used in road construc-
ton in that county is of nature that
will wear quickly under ordinary traffic.
Under Local Supervision.
Building of the state roads in Mont
gomery county. it was shown, has been
under a special arrangement and local
| supervision. Part Of the work has been
done under the supervision of F. c. Hut
| ton, and the rema .nder under the super
vision Of the county commissioners. The
agreement, it was stated, was to allow
| the commissioners to build the roads at
cost, the state supplying the equipment,
certain notifications of the engineers
! plans to be permitted, and local stone
! to be used.
| OF one road the special committees re-
port said:
qualities of hardness and roughnes to
make 1t suitable; of another, There
should have been Il more liberal use of
culvertS and pipe drainage. The wearing
surface of the Gaithersburg-Darne
road lis rapidly going to pieces. To
place this road in proper condition for
acceptance and to oil it, We estimate,
| would cost from $1,000 to 81, 800 per mile. -
| The report criticises to a greater or less
extent work on other roads.
Comparative Cost Per Mile.
| The committee compares the cost pei
mile-not including overhead charges-o1

other counties. In Montgomery the cost
ranges from $1O,975.49 per mile to s12.

Wants Time for Reply.
Senator Lee. in protesting against the
report, said the figures given were a sur
| prise to him. and he asked a week il
which TO prepare a reply to the report
| He challenged the statements made as t.
the cost of the roads in his county. ant
