No Roads Permanent.

Overlapping all other road problems in
its Importance is that of maintenance, "
says Logan Waller Page, director of the
United States Office of Public Roads and
president of the American Highway AS
ISOLATION. THE destructive agencies of
traffic and the elements are increasing in
their activities and it is idle to talk of per-
manent roads any more than to speak of
house, fence or railroad tie as perma-
nent, The public roads to-day. by reason
of the exceptionally destructive traffic con-
ditions, are more costly in construction and
this is continually increasing with the ad-
vance in the prices of labor and material
1t is criminally wasteful, therefore. to in
vest large sums of public money in building
the highways demanded by traffic, unless
the investment is conserved by adequate
maintenance. Without such adequate
maintenance a road costing anywhere
from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile may 90
to ruin in year or two, thus involving n
permanent loss of considerable magnitude,
when ii is considered that the aggre-
gate expenditure on roads in the United
States is well over 5000, 900, 900 annually,
the seriousness of the question is appar-
ent. ! look to the conference of highway
officials which will be held during the
Fourth American Road Congress. which
meets in Atlanta. Ga, on November 9th.

nance"

Rural Carrier Loss, S4O,OOO,OOO
A Year.

Postmaster-GeneraI Burleson is receiving
great many letters favoring a PROPOSE
ton, which he is said to be considering of
letting the service now performed by rural
letter carriers, out by contract. The dis
cOvery that the rural carrier service is now
being conducted at loss" of $40, 000,-
600 year is said to have prompted the
Postmaster General to give consideration Ia
the subject of reducing this excess of ex-
pense in the interest of economy.
BY letting the rural carrier service out
by contract it is claimed $4,000, 900 a
year can be saved. Many of the letters
received by Mr.. Burleson call attention to
the excessive expenditure for rural carrier
| service. and one of them states that on q
route which yields but 10 cents a day the
government pays something near $1,000
for the rural carrier
II is well known that the present Con
gress increased the salaries of rural letter
carriers against the protest Of the POstoflice
Department, and the matter was pointedly
alluded to by Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Blakslee in an address delivered
before recent convention of the carriers
in Washington city. Yet, notwithstanding
the facts presented by the department. il
is said. the rural carriers are now striving
to have Congress provide a pension for
superannuated and disabled carriers.
Some little friction was observable at
the carriers convention. one of the speak
ers virtually declaring that ii would take
more than the cold shoulder of the depart
ment to deter a carrier in doing his duty
to his association.
II is said the rural carriers confidence
in their position to better themselves and
their condition regardless of cost is due to
their political strength at home. and this,
in the opinion of keen observers in the de-
partment, it is said, will prevent the CON
summation OF the plan of the Postmaster
General to let the service out by contract

Horses For English Army Use.

British army officers are inspecting about
200 horses day at the National Stock
Yards, st. Louis. and as many more at
Kansas City. The horses they accept are
sent to Montreal, Canada, where they are
paid for. About 10000 head have been
shipped from these two markets. The
execution of the British order is in the
hands of several dealers designated by the
army authorities to supply all the horses
needed. These dealers are reported to be
buying from country shippers, who pick up
the horses on the farms at from $50 to
SIPS each and take them to market in
carload lots. The American Breeder says
the horses thus far accepted at Kansas
City are unusually plain and inferior, two
thirds of them being animals that could
not pass muster for the United States
army, nor even for the Southern trade.
The British government is paying good
deal more than $l25 on an average for
the horses taken from the United States.
The United States is now supplying most
of the horses collected in Canada for the
British army, just as it did during the
South African war. when 100000 horses
and mules were purchased here to fill the
ranks.

The Maryland Agricultural College be
came exclusive State property on September
25th, by virtue of the foreclosure of the
half interest of 2S2 acres of land up &c
this time held by private stockholders
The sale, which was authorized through a
special provision by the 1914 legislature
was held at the entrance of the admins
tration building on the college campus,
G. M. Mcfarland, of Hyattsville, acting as
auctioneer. Hon. Murray Vandiver, State
| Treasurer, made the first and only bid for
stockholders half interest, securing for the
State of Maryland the possession of the
property for $4,000. Ogle Marbury and
Speaker James Nee Trippe, of the House
OF Delegates, together with Gen. Nandiver,
represented the interest of the State at the
sale, there being in addition f.. r. Veitch,
representing the Alumni Association of
the college, and President II. j. Patterson
and Treasurer Hcrschel Ford, representing
the faculty of the institution.
The sale of the stockholders interest to
the State brings to an end private owner
ship in the institution and places the
Maryland Agricultural College in its legiti-
mate relation to the State as it is a State
owned and State-endowed agency, that
should be equipped like similar institu-
tons in other States to carry on thorough
and extensive service to the rural com
munities of the State.
State Treasurer Murray Vandiver stated
following the sale that the transaction
had removed the last obstacle to the liberal
support of the Agricultural College by the
State. There is no reason left, he de-
clared, why the Maryland Agricultural
College should not receive the full support
and recognition of the people of the State
in the field now open to it,
President II. j. Patterson stated that the
establishing of full property rights in the
State had now placed the Maryland AGr-
cultural College in position to give a
Statewide service to the agricultural in
terests of the State. I'VE will now be
able, he said, ITO turn confidently to the
farmers of the State for the support which
the work of our institution deserves. They
should now see to it that their Agricul-
tural College is granted appropriations lib
eral enough to meet the National Govern
ment half way and provide permanent
equipment and buildings that will enable
our departments to do the highest grade
of work. Such equipments will enable our
departments to meet the Federal Depart
ment on a more substantial footing and
work with it more efficiently in reaching a
larger number of Maryland farmers for the
improvement of rural conditions. The ex-
elusive ownership by the State of the Az
ricultural College will be especially helpful
in the development of the Extension Di-
vision of the college, which in connection
with the Federal Department of Agrcul-
ture, expects to establish through county
demonstrators an efficient and highly help
full service to our country people"

Tree Warden For Rockville And
Vicinity.

Under new State law all the trees
standing within the rieht-of-way of public
highways and along sidewalks of incor-
porated towns become public shade trees,
under the care and protection of the State
through the State Board of Forestry. Here
tofOre the authority over such trees has
not been clearly defined, generally the
property owner who owns the abutting
property claimed them as his trees. the
town or road supervisors, as the case might
be, claimed certain amount of jurisdc-
ton because they were along the public
highway or street, while the pole line COM
panies. which have a franchise or permit
to use the roads or streets. claimed that
whenever such trees interfered with their
wires they had the right to cut or trim
them. This has led to much i'll feeling
and many controversies and has proven
very unsatisfactory Now the status of
these trees is clearly defined. and they are
recognized as part of the improvements of
the road or street, belonging not to the
individual but to the public generally
This new law makes it a misdemeanor
for any one to cut. trim or in any way in
jure one of these trees without permit
from the State Board of Forestry. The
purpose of the law is to prevent the mutt
lation or reckless cutting of these trees
which add so much to the attractiveness
of the street and roadsides and are a
source of comfort to the people. 1t takes
many years to grow shade trees and they
are worthy of the very best care and pro-
lection of the State
For the town of Rockville and the out
lying sections the Governor of the State
upon recommendation of the State Forester
has commissioned Mr.. b. C. Hughes to act
as the local Tree Warden. Every one in
terested in the protection of trees should
cooperate with Mr.. Hughes in this good
work to see that the law is strictly en-
forced and to see that the community re-
ceives the full benefits under its provisions.
