STATE ROAD AS
WAR NECESSITY.
Defense Highway Gets A New
Lease On Life When Sub
stituted For Unfavorable
Report.
VITAL TO FUTURE.
Argument Shows Desire For Co
Operation With Federal Gov
ernment In Annapolis
Washington Road.

4 successful fight was made in The
House yesterday afternoon to substi-
tute the bill for an unfavorahle re-
port on the proposition to appropriate
S125.0O0 for the construction of a
State road from Annapolis to Wash
ington. The route is known as the
old National Defense Road.
Provision was made by the Legis-
lature two years ago to join Federal
Government in improving this old
road When the bids of contractors
were opened the lowest was $4,000 a
mile. This cost was deemed TO be pro
hibitiye and all bids were rejected.
The appropriation reverted to the
Treasury In the meantime a lawyer
connected with the Attorney Gener-
ais Office in Washington declared that
the Federal aid would not be legal, as
the road proposed to be improved was
not wholly a post road as required
under the terms of the Federal Aid
Act Hence the whole scheme of i'm
proving the old defense fell through.
Since the beginning of the war the
War Department has joined the Agri-
cultural Department in urging the
building of the road
This was a most vital argument in
securing the substitution of the bill
for the unfavorable report. Mr. Clag-
gett, of Prince Georges, made the mo-
tion TO substitute. Mr. Fisher, of
Prince Georges, followed with a Wig
orous argument in support of the mo-
ton He dwelt upon the urgent need
of the proposed improvement as a
war measure, an argument which pro
voked rounds of applause.
