sls,77O.OOO FUND MMARYLAND

CENTREv1LLE, Nd, Feb. 22-Mary-
land is carrying to speedy conclusion
a big State work, dating back to 1908,
which will make it the first State to
have continuous main arterial system
of modern highways, radiating from
the industrial and geographical centre
of the State at Baltimore and connect
ing the county seats of each of the 20
counties with each other and with Bal
timore.
The network of good roads, which
have gratified taxpayers, automobilists
farmers and merchants, who say that
good roads bring extraordinary trade
to them, soon will include the longest
continuous section of modern highways
in the country. 1t is approximately
400 miles in length, beginning at Oak
land in the heart of the Allegheny
Mountains, at the western end of the
State, and extending to Ocean City
an Atlantic coast resort.
A bridge at Hanover street in Balti-
more will be one and half miles long.
1t is the longest ever contracted for in
Maryland and will cost 81, ,25O, 900.
Another feature is an expenditure of
$3, ,250, 900 on all kinds of street paving
within the bt undaries of Baltimore.
This is said to be the only instance
where State is spending money for
improvement of streets in a city of
more than 60G,0O
A S5rmile long boulevard linking Bal
timore with Annapolis has already been
realized.
The State has appropriated total of
SIS, ITO, 900 for the work. The funds
were provided through the issuance of
15-year bonds. Money to meet the
bonds and interest was raised in receipts
of the Commissioner of Motor Vehi-
cles with direct tax of one per cent
per 500 to supplement the deficiency.
The State not only owns the roads
but maintains them. The average cost
per mile, including oiling, patrol service
and other expenses, was $340 in 1912
and $494 in 1913. Each mile of improv-
ed highway has cost approximately
IS, ,989.

INCREASE OF CRIMES

IT must be plain even to the casual

NEW YORK, March 13.-That boxers

And yet. all these things are matter Of

Now, according to my medical friend.
q boxers life teaches him 10 bear physi-
cal distress much better than his broth
srs. Through the course of his ring
career a pugilist has so often had oc-
casion TO tug at his heart strings that
these have become fortified. A blow that
would double up a layman is 'digested'
with comparative ease by the ring war
rior. Not only has his frequent
acquaintanceship with the punch taught
him 10 bear the sting it inflicts. but his
superior training has abetted IN the
process of assimilation.
