Senator Price has introduced a bill
in the Maryland Senate which carrieI
an appropriation Of $1,000, 900 for the
use Of the State Roads Commission 10
continuing the tuilding If State roads,
That bill as it stands is opposed BY
the Roads Commission FIR the reason
that out Of the amount to be allowed,
only s5,O0O,000 will go to the counties
the other two to be used one for build
ing a bridge leading into Baltimore
and the other million to be used on
Baltimore streets. Governor Colds
borough who is an ex-ofiicio member
of the Roads Commission Board in a
recent statement takes strong ground
against the manner of distributing this
fund. He says in part in opposition
to the Price bill which gives Baltimore
city special appropriation.

the best Interests Of the State will not
be subserved by the Incorporation in

is done it will not be possible to com

there are few women who will take the
chance Of meeting a rufiian automobile
