WESTMINSTER SHAKES
HANDS WITH TANEY-
TOWN.
COUNTY SEAT EXTENDS GREETINGS TO
PROSPEROUS NEIGABORS. !.

Nothing 90 Enthusiastically bespeaks
communitys prosperity o. stag
nation as its roads. a good town no
matter how rich it's resources may
be cannot prosper unless connected
with the surrounding country and
cities by chain of modern, roads.
Not only being in Gods country. but
mighty near the center, the people
of Carroll county have always gone
to the front line of trenches and
fought to the limit when question
Of good roads was involved. Among
the most important pixies in this
section of the state is that between
Westminster and Taneytown. Work
on this road was started on the
tenth of July, 1919, that record time
was made is we'll shown by the fact
that Westminster is today connected
with one of the richest districts in
county, or state could be justly
county can point with pride to
modernly constructed twenty-fJnr
foot macadamized road where an
ordinary dirt road less than ten feet
wide formerly existed. The lines
for this pike were laid by Albert G..
Macy, one of the most capable en-
gineers i'm the East, who has made
a life long study of up-to-date road
building. The construction work
was done under the direction of
Noah Brown, foreman of public
roads, with a ccew of twenty men
from the Maryland Penitentiarv In
charge of Deputy Keeper Robert
Hoffman. These men proved not
only equal, but superior to outside
labor. The major part Of the road
led through a dense forest and a
most difficult task was placed before
Mr. Macy and Mr.. Brown, though
ttrees had to be felled, eXcavating,
filling and work of most trying
kind performed these gentlemen
proved themselves more than equal
| to the task and demonstrated that
| the state of Maryland made no mis-
take, when they were appointed TO
the responsible positions they now
hold. Not only on this one job have
they saved the taxpayers of the
state thousands of dollars but many
others, showing that they are al
ways in the alert when the public s
interests are at stake. Not only
that, the road just finished is gate
way to prosperous markets which
the farmer can have access to at
any season or the year irrespective
of weather conditions, which means
thousands of dollars to the enter
prising business men of Westminster
aside from the added business. It
means closer social relations to peo-
pie of the rural districts with the
county seat.
The public of Maryland congratu-
late Mr.. Macy and MIR. Brown on
the good work they are doing and
hope their tireless energy will be
justly rewarded

Harris WeakenS.

The withdrawal Of :. Fenton Har-
ris, Republican. independent candi-
date for County Treasurer, of Fred
erick county, will not change the de-
cision of State Senator George l..
Kaufman, Republican, to run in
dependently for re-election. He has
secured large number of sign7rs,
pledging support, and has stated
that he will file his papers with IT,
Election Supervisors shortly. Under
the law, an independent candidate
must have 200 signers to get his
name on the ballot. He said while
he was much impressed with the
statement of Mr.. Harris, which fay

alleged unfair methods at the pri-
mary election, hi candidacy was
based ON other issues Of greater lm-

John L. Freyman, Democratic
candidate for Sheriff, is SO years Of
age, and is a farmer in Franklin
district. He has been consistent
and life long Democrat, working in
season and out for the success of
his party even when he had no
personal interest to promote. I'm
til now he has never received any
recognition at the hands Of his
party, although he long ago deserved
it. He had been a candidate on two
occasions in the primaries for the
office of sheriff, although being de-
feated for the nomination he stood
up and fought for the success of
his party until the last. There has
been no Democrat elected to any
county office in many years past who
is not greatly indebted to him for
his earnest and active support. He
has long since earned all that he is
now asking for at the hands of his
party and should receive it. For 80
years Mr.. Freymah has been a tax
payer of Carroll county.
