Good Roads League Of Maryland
Has Strenuous Fight Ahead
for This Year.

The Good Roads League OF Mary
land announces a strenuous fight for
a Bladensburg- Annapolis road this
year. Money for this road was appro-
priated by the Maryland state legis-
lature. A bid to construct the road at
a cost of s21 900 a mile was rejected
last year as being too much to pay in
wartime. With thousands of work
men available and no restrictions on
material. this road should be the first
state road in Maryland to be built.

A highway of this kind would be Of
great military Importance, the league
states, with Navy wireless base, Army
rife range and the Naval Academy at
Annapolis, it would connect the capi-
tai of the nation with the capital of
Maryland, Farm produce could be sent
cheaper and more quickly by trucks
from the fertile farms of Anne Arun-
del county to Washington markets.
The period when the river is frozen
over could be utilized by sending fish
and oysters daily by auto trucks to
this city, the league says.

All Booths Surrounded.

Large crowds surrounded the booths
or every make OF car represented, but
owing to their newness, 1T seemed that
the greatest interest was displayed in
the Essex, the little offspring of the
Hudson, and the new Mitchell six.
The Hudson and Essex had separate
quarters on the first floor of the Gar
den. The Mitchell six, which was also
shown in the Garden. drew many ad-
mirers.
Owing to it's inability to secure suf-
ficient space at the show, the Chew
rolet car held a special show of it's
own in the New York Company's dis
play rooms.
The prices of cars. which have
shown a tendency to slight reductions
in some makes since the cessation of
hostilities, are not yet on a level with
pre-var conditions, but the prevail
ing impression is that no radical
changes in price viii be made during
the year. Take it all in all, the price
OF reliable cars is about as cheap as
it is possible to produce them. and
owners are getting a machine of
higher quality and better workman
ship than was possible four or tive
years ago.

Of the larger factories will not be en-

The demand has shown a steady in

the all absorbing question now is
whether the 1919 output will be able
10 meet this growing demand.
