by the people who witnessed its rise
and fall.
After the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road was opened over the mountains
travel ceased entirely on parts of this
road, especially between Hancock and
Cumberland, In passing oyer the Sec
ton of the road in 1912, the writer was
surprised to find that the road which

allowed to be Incorporated to take oyer
and make a number of roads. Then 1t
was that these different turnpikes, rad
iating like the spokes Of a hub from
Baltimore city. were constructed,
namely, the Washington, Frederick,
Reisterstown, Fails, Yorl, Belait ard
Havre de Grace Turnpikes.
Most of these turnpikes were com
pleted by the years 1808182l The
Frederick pike was the most notable of
any Of the pixies, and also had more
historical interest in the development
o. Maryland, as well as the Union, than
any other road entering Baltimore
Early in 1897 this road was constructed
as far as Hagerstown, and the remain
der of the road to Conocochesgue was
under contract.
The years 1912 and 1873 witnessed an
important step in turnpike construction,
which led to the development OF the
Far West, and law was passed in
cooperating the president and directors
of number Of State banks both IN the
city of Baltimore and the western
counties, under the name If the presi-
dent, managers and company of the
Cumberland Turn pike road, for the pur-
pose OF surveying, locating and making
a turnpike road from the Conocoche-
ague through Hancock to Cumberland.
This was compulsory on the part of the
banks, and they were assessed in pro-
portion to their capital stock. They
were permitted to name directors in
the management of its aft airs.
This road was completed within two
years and made connecting link from
Baltimore to Cumberland, where it
joined the National Road and became
a part of one of the great high

Road was the first and only road

the National Roa extended from Balti-
more to the West. 1t did in name
only. in fac, the National Road ex-
tended only from Cumberland west,
and it was this part that was built by
the Federal Government.
When Congress first met after the
achieve ment of independence and the
adoption of the Federal Constitution
the lack of good roads was much com
mented upon by our statesmen and
citizens generally, and various schemes
were suggested. The National High
way had been discussed at every Con-
gress, but it wss not until 1906, when
Thomas jefferson was President of the
United States, that the proposition for
National Road took practical shape.
Il is generally thought that 10 Henry
Clay belonged the credit for the build
ing of the National Road, but this
seems to be an error. The records
seem to prove conclusivelv that Mr..
Gallatin, who was Secretary of the
Treasury under Jefferson. was the first
man who suggested the plan for build

not the planner of this road, he was IN
