The State Roads Commission is
watching with great care its departure
in substitution at several points of con-
crete for crushed stone for road build
ing. Thus far the concrete roads have
proved to be eminently satisfactory.
Their cost is only 81. 200 to 81, 500 per
mile in excess of the cost of stone roads.
They are declared to be cheapest in the
end. because they will require no repairs
and no oil. The longest stretch of con-
crete road in the State will be between
Salisbury and Ocean City. distance of
30 miles. The cost will be SIS, 900 mile.
The total cost will be $3.50, 900. The
road is expected to be completed with
in two years. Two miles east of Sails
bury have been built Five miles of
road west from Berlin are under con-
tract. Abundant as is sand on the
Eastern Shore. it has not been found
to be suitable for mixing with cement.
The Baltimore. Chesapeake and
Atlantic Railway Company will continue
its double-trip service from Baltimore
to Eastern Shore points. from Claiborne
to Ocean City, inclusive, during the
winter months this year. 1t has been
customary to start the two-trip SER
vice in June and discontinue it in Sep
TENDER. making only one trip each day
during the winter months. II is said
that two steamers will be used in this
new schedule. each carrying freight as
well as passengers. While the additional
passenger service will be a great con-
venience to the Shore. the real advan-
tage is seen in the new freight service.
Complaint of the inadequacy of this
service from both the Eastern Shore
and Baltimore has inclined the company
to make trial of the proposed new SER
vice. which il has practically determin-
ed to put into effect this winter. II is
proposed to have boats leave Baltimore
for Claibourne at 6.l5 a m and 1 10 pm.
At Claiborne connection will be made
with trains for stations down the PENN
sula to Ocean City. There will be
corresponding schedule in the opposite
direction, with trains from Ocean City
