WOODLAND HEIGHTS

There was large meeting al
Woodlawn Heights on Saturday
April 10. al p. m, of the Commit
tee appointed BY the County Commits
sioners. for the opening OF the road
on the West side OF Annapolis Short
Line tracks. between Welham and
Shipley Stations.
The residents and property owners
came out in full force to meet the
Committee. and went over the pro-
posed road. The W6odlawn Heights
Improvement Company IS iH favor OF
having the road direc. om ~eiham
to Shipley Station along side OF the
Electric Line. but the Committee did
not seem very favorable to that
project
Mr.. shipley and Air. Grimm, who
own land on the proposed road. were
both at the meeting, and objected TO
the road coming through that way
They both asked compensation FOR
their land. whereas the balance Of
the road has been donated to the
County Commissioners free OF
charge. The Committee appointed by
the Commissioners. were only in IA
vor of diverting the road from the
track. and going through MIR. Swift S
property. through TO Hammond Fairy
Road. then on the Shipley Station
Both routes are now up TO the
engineer of the county, and he will
decide which will be the cheapest and
best route
The Woodlawn Heights Improve
ment Company met Monday night at
the home of Mr. Sthbbs, one OF the
members. and decided to rest or their
oars until they receive a reply from
the Road Engineer. The route pro-
posed by the Woodlawn Heights Com
pany would make a direct connection
between Welham and Shipley stations
without going in a roundabout way
to reach Annapolis, and will open up
a large residential section Of Wood
lawn Heights. and more than pay for
the road in taxes i'll the next five
years.
The next meeting of the Woodlawn
Heights Improvement Company, will
be held at the home of Mr. Lind, and
we would ask all the property own
ers vino have not joined the Associa-
ton. To please decide and be at that
meeting and enroll their names with
this organization,
