LIVE NOTES AND COMMENTS
May Hold Up Road Loan.

Annapolis
There IS considerable doubt whether
the Capital Securities Issue Commit
tee, at Washington, will approve in
full the application of the Board Of
Public Works for permission to issue
$1,5O0,O00 Of the 100000 road loan
authorized by the last Legislature.
The committee is said to be making
an investigation Of the purposes for
which the Roads Commission plans
to use the money, and to be uncon-
vinced of the necessity of certain OF
the proposed expenditures.
According to the reports, the COM
mittee is not disposed at this time to
sanction the issuance of any bonds to
cover the expected shortage in the
maintenance funds of the Roads Com
mission, due to the failure Of the
Automobile Commissioners Office to
turn over as much money from motor
licenses as is estimated will be need
ed. Also. it is said that the committee
Is not disposed to look approyingly
upon the proposed appropriation of
$25O,OO0 Of the roads bond money for
a new bridge over the Bohemia river
There are other items, too, about
which the committee is in doubt, &C.
cOrding to reports.
apparently the test which the com,
mittee is inclined to put upon all work
is whether it is military necessity.
It seems that the committee regards
the work which the Roads Commits
sion proposes to do on the Elktor-
Baltimore-W. ashington road as mill
tary necessity, and, therefore, prob
ably will approve the specification of
100000 for that road, of which about
100000 will be used according to
plans, for putting three-feet concrete
shoulders on. each side of the road,
thus widening it to 20 feet, and about
100000 will be used for requirements
of certain sections which have worn
away completely. There are some
other items which the committee is
said to approve on the ground that
they will serve military purpose.
The possibility that the committee
will disapprove the use of any of the
roads loan for maintenance work,
even if it should finally give its sane
ton to the issue Of the entire $780,
900. is worrying the Roads Commits
sion officials considerably. They insist
that they do not see how they can
keep in order the State system, plus
the State-aided roads which have
been taken over, unless they have at
least s1,6O0,00O during the current
year. Their needs are increasing all
the time, they say, as the traffic of the
Government and the Government con.
tractors becomes heavier and heavier.
And there seems to be no possibility
now that the Automobile Commission
err will turn over anything like $780,
900 net for maintenance.

be necessary to increase the Greater
Baltimore's representation in the two

Under a clause of the annexation
act it may be possible to register

however, would not make any ma
terial change in conditions, as the

members Of the house from each OF
the four districts will be chosen. They
will also participate in the election of
a sheriff and of other city officials
