Mr.. VIM j. Grove Criticises
Road Work.

The followins communication has been
received bv THE CITIZEN from Mr.. VIM.
!. Grove. President of the NJ J. Grove
Lime Con pany, Lime Kiln, Md. He
expresses himself as follows:
Several weeks since | gave the local
rress a letter, stating what had learned
at he Richmond meeting, and especially
IN reference to convict labor. being work
ed on the roads successfully in other
States.
l received some congraulatory let
tiers. one coming from New York, but
none from our own county. which means
that our own people are not particularly
interested when they pay their taxes,
how their money is spent, As it seems
to NE in such rich agricultural county
like our own. when our tax levy for the
care of convicts. the poor and out door
pensioners reach over eight cents, and
he levy for public roads is little over
seven and one.half cents, there is
something wrong and think that it is
Time for our law makers from this
county to get busy at Annapolis and 10
inform themselves what is needed in our
county to improve conditions, but what
is generally every body's business re-
ceives very little attention. and we step
up annually and pay our taxes without
questioning if we are getting value re-
ceived. for what we paw.
Il will tell YOU how the money was
spent on much used road at my home
for the past year which is an improve
ment over former years THIS is from
Lime Kiln to The Manor Road The
first work done by the supervisor was in
October. when he used a road scraper
pulled the mud, sod and weeds and
stone into the middle of the road and
left them there for the vehicles to knock
down and out of the way About a
month later he hauled some stone and
threw them in the mudholes, the most
of them as large as man could lift and
at some places threw some dirt over
them, and in this dangerous condition
the road has been left for the travelling
public to pass over, and every morning
from ten to fifteen farmers come over
the road before six O'Clock in the morn
ing to bring their milk TO the station.
The supervisor does not travel over the
road but he votes straight
This road has always been disgrace
to the county, but | will say for the
credit of the farmers who use. it. that they
have shown disposition to give gener-
onsly towards making some permanent
Improvements to the road. but it seems
to be considered economy to continue
our back woods policy. and as conse-
quence this rich, agricultural county is
not keeping in pace with more progress
sive counties who are using modern
methods to improve their roads,
II think that it is time for the agricult-
ural citizenship to get its head above the
level of mud hole"

clares his conviction that the commission

House of Correction Report.

The annual report of the Board OF
Directors and the Superintendent OF the
House of Correction W distributed
among the legislators a few DAYS ago.
The Superintendent Mr. WliAm E.
Landlord, gave some interesting facts
in his report. which was as follows:
THE average prison population for
the fiscal year was 5o7. The daily aver
age of the prisoners in the shops on pay
was 347. The average per capita cost
oil subsistence for the fiscal year was
.o61z. The average cost of mainten.
ance per capita was So7.Ss. Men on pay

patches of good road that have been
constructed have only been links to con-
meet with the other roads or old links
in order to give automobilists a long
road 20 JOY ride over.
We have no objections whatever to
the automobiles, but we are opposed to
spending millions of dollars OF the peo-
pies money for this pleasure, when the
great business needs of the people OF
the State are neglected. Take Fred
erick county as an illustration.
The proportion Of this county under
the five millions appropriated was said
BY the commission to be two hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars.
All OF the people of this county have
gotten for all this is that the commission
has bought at an enormous price the
old Baltimore Turnpike, ard the Fred
erick and Emmi,sburg Turnpike We
had those pixies for many years before
the commission was ever heard OF,
and the people were perfectly satisfied
with these pixies. There never was the
slighte,; objection TO the toll gates and
nobody wanted the pixies to be purchased
by the State, except the stockholders.
Bu, the Good Roads Commission
bought those pixies, and now one of them
