The Annapolis Road.

The projected good road between the
Baltimore Washington turnpike and An
napolis, bill for which is pending in
the Maryland legislature, would enable
many people to visit the state capita
who are now virtually prevented from
doing so save by the trolley line be
tween the cities. In these days of
motoring good road linking Annapolis
with Baltimore and Washington is vir-
tually necessity. This city is visited
annually by thousands of motoring
tourists who, if Annapolis were easily
accessible, would make it inevitably the
objective of a side trip. The citizens
of both Baltimore and Washington. too,
would use this road frequently. as they
would find in Annapolis one of the most
interesting points in Maryland. Tn
fortunately. large ships of war cannot
come to this city and seldom reach Bal
timore. whereas at Annapolis they arc
not infrequent visitors. A good road
to the Maryland capital would make
possible the inspection of such vessels
by great numbers of citizens who have
few opportunities to see them. Annap-
oils is source of national inspiration,
and apart from any consideration of de-
tense or preparedness involved in the
provision of network of good roads
along the eastern coast of the country
this highway is required in the cause
of patriotism The Maryland legisla
ture should act on this bill promptly.
