from Maryland line to Georgetown is
almost finished. and the complete right
of way has about been secured be-

will make a straight strip Of thirty
six miles Of concrete road. Already
the people from the upper end Of the
state are beginning 70 see the adVan-
tages Of such a road. and are srousing
interest in its continuation to Will

the trade among their merchants from
the lower state people, the Whining
