Estate badly Roughly speaking the
Estate is 4 triangle with its long side

\ eXpanse of water separates the state
v into two portions with the larger

4 peal5e Bay is called the Eastern
Shore and an extensive system Of
iroads is nearly completed there. a
\ contract has recently been made for
building state highway connecting
the Eastern Shore with the road
being built north and south through
delaware by General Coleman du
Il Pont. When these roads are finished
THE Eastern Shore OF Maryland Will
therefore have q more direct high
way connection with Wilmington
than with Baltimore. just as is its
/ present condition in respect to rail-
I3way facilities.
q large part Of the money for road.
building in Maryland is paid by the
Presidents OF Baltimore They have
raised an objection to linking the
road system Of the Eastern Shore
with n through highway TO Whining
ION on the ground that the trade of
the sections developed by highways
built largely at the expense of Bal
timore should go 10 Baltimore rather
than to Wilmington and Philadelphia.

The railroads running down the

by steamboat lines. Freight and

MOULD be unsatisfactory without the

has proved economical there. It IS
