COMPLETION Of ROAD To
ACCIDENT CONTEMPLATED
Bids Are Asked by The State Roads
Commission Advertisement Today.

By reference to our advertising
columns today it will be noted that the
State Roads Commission of Maryland,
invite proposals for the construction of
a section of road in Garrett county be-
tween Hoyes and Accident, about two

February 18th. at which time and place
they will be publicly open and read
1t is the intention of the Commission
to receive bids for two different classes
of construction on this stretch of road
concrete and macadam. Should the con-
crete construction be used it will be the
first section of road built of this material
in the county. Other parts of the
country have tried it and it has proved
to be equal if not superior to the plain
macadam.
The section proposed to bel, built will
carry the road through the town of
Accident toward the National Roai
While the announcement has not been
made by the Commission, it is under
stood that that. body contemplates the
completion of the road from Accident
to connect with the National Road at
Keyser 's..Ridge some. time within the
next year.
In addition to.the.proposed work to be
done upon the State road from Hoyes to
Accident, the Roads Commission also
advertises in this paper today for bids
for the construction of three and more
than halt miles of work on the old
National Road between Piney Grove and
Sutton, thus connecting up all the
sections remaining to be completed
lying between Grantsville and Frost
