OPPOSE SALE OF
COUNTY FARM
County Commissioners Telephone
Gov. Harrington A Request
Not to Sign the Bill.

The County Commissioners met ir
special session last tuesday.
1t soon developed that the Board
was unanimous in its opposition to
the law passed at the recent session
of the Legislature ordering the sale
of the Aims House Property, and the
Governor was called up and asked not
TO sign the bill making it law. He
said the measure was approved by
the Senator and Members of the
House from Worcester County. and he
was surprised that. if there was OPP
position TO the law, il had not been
manifested sooner. He did not recall
whether he had signed the bill or not
but promised TO look into the matter
Certain people in Worcester County
have been advocating the sale of the
Aims House property for ten years
or more. On the other hand 4 great
majority of people have opposed the
sale of the property and have pointed
TO the fact that the sale of timber
made some months ago. justified
their position. If the sale had been
made number of years back. when
farm lands We're cheap. and timhcr
likewise, the county would have been
looscr to the extent of several thous-
and dollars. The farm today will
bring more money without the timber
than timber and farm together would
have brought dozen years ago.
However this may be, there is .
QUESTION whether or not now is the
time for the county to sell the Aims
House farm.
Mr. Thomas Purncll. one OF the
owners Of tho Furnace Property"
appeared before the Commissioners
and protested against the assessment
made for the property. and claimed
that surrounding property was assess
cd at a less price. William NJ. Sir
mon was appointed a special assessor
TO assess the value Of the property.
The following orders were passed:

Nine MILLIONS
FOR STATE ROADS
This Large Sum Available Dur
ing Next Two Years For Re-
pairs, Bridges, Links

Oven nine millions OF dollars. or to
be- exact 50. 100000. will be available
fo public road. in Maryland during
the next two years. This large sum
viii be devoted to the construction of
links to join up main lines, to the
building of bridges and TO the repair
OF roads which are in bad shape in
different parts of the state. To the
total available may be added apropria-
total available may be added appro-
priations blythe federal government foi
army trucks.
The several sums and the purposes
TO which they are to be devoted are:
S3,OO0.0O0 bond issue (new con-
struction).
$3,O00,000 for repairs and mainten-
ance.
l.6OOOO0 for state and county aided
roads.
S360000 for bridge fund.
100000 for federal fund.
SS00.000 from autos fees for main
tenancc.
Total, $9,i6O.OOO.
No specific links were mentioned in
the legislature, to be constructed out
Of the funds to be derived from the
sale of bonds. The State Roads Com.
mission has the power to select roads
10 be built. The Commission will not,
however. embark upon this enter
prise if the costs of material and
labor are excessive. In fact, it is
more than probable that new con-
struction during the next two years,
because of conditions arising from
the war, will be limited. The funds
for this work have. however, been
authorized, as was the case with the
Council of Safety. There will be no
expenditures on large scale unless
emergencies arise. This means the
authorized bonds will not be sold
until their sale is imperative.
There will, however. be no delay
in repairing the damaged roads. This
work must be done at once to save
them from annihilation. The federal
government Is expected to contribute
a good-sizcd sum in repairing roads
which have been cut TO pieces by
heavy army trucks.
The sum of 100000, TO be derived
from the federal government, is
Maryland's share of the appropria-
tions by Congress to the several
states for public road purposes. If
possible a part of this fund will be
devoted to the improvement of the
old National Defense road between
Annapolis and Washington. Two
years ago the Maryland Legislature
set aside $35,O00 for this road. Work
has never begun on it.

Of the men is ordered for May | and

tonight and they will be sent to eleven
forts and recruiting barracks, prob
ably for training with regular army
units there
This call increases 10 more than
3On.0OO the number OF Sclcctmcn or
dered To camp since late in March.
This is far in excess of the monthly
average that would have been mobil-
lied under the original plan to call
S0O.00O men this year over nine
month period. Future calls at the
same rate would complete the pro-
gram before midsummer.
Under President Wilson's dctermi-
nation to hasten the dispatch Of
American troops 10 France to rein
force the British armies bearing the
brunt of the great German drives in
Flanders and Picardy. the whole pro-
gram of the army is speeding up.
Only a week ago General Crowder
ordered mobilization of 100000 select
men for April 26, and their movement
to the national army environments
during the five days following.
Further announcements are expect
ed to follow the return of Secretary
Baker from his visit to the battle
fronts and conference with officials of
Great Britain, France and Italy
Troops are now moving to Europe at
a rapid rate. and this clearing of
training camps will permit of the call
ing of men much faster than was con
templated before the German often
sive made it imperative to rush men
TO the battlcfronts.
Although every State and the Dis
trict of Columbia are called upon to
furnish men under General Crowdcr'S
latest order. nearly half of the 49,
Si3 men will come from seven states.
Illinois will supply by far the largest
number, its quota being S.0i7. Penn

York third, with 3,5i2; Michigan
fourth, with 1888; Missouri fifth. with

Ohio seventh. with 1000. Nevada has
the lowest quota, ~. and Delaware
the next lowest. 81. Wyoming. with

less than 100 men. Maryland will
