GOVERNOR TAKES STEPS IOl
SAVE STATE ROADS.
Announces Results OF Campaign To
Stop Overloaded Trucks From
Operating On Highways.

ORx5A %UhAhfS OA IAhtsAWuycs
In statement Aug. 5 Governor
Ritchie made known the fact that he
had taken steps, some weeks ago,
through Automobile Commissioner
Baughman and Roads Chairman
MackaH, to put an end to trucks
operating over the State roads with
excess loads and that effective re-
suits have been accomplished. For
several years the authorities have
BEEN protesting against overloaded
trucks using the modern roads and
have said that they do more to de-
stroy the roads than any other class
Of traffic, but the evil has continued.
The Governors statement follows:
would like the public to know
what is being accomplished toward
stopping the damage done to State
roads by trucks carrying overioads.
This damage, particularly from nom
resident trucks, has been very sari-
GUS in the past, and some time ago
asked the State Roads Commission
to cooperate with the Motor Vehicle
Commissioner in taking all possible
steps to protect the roads from this
danger.
Mr.. Mackall and Mr.. Baughman
have co-operated to this end most
effectively. Permanent scales were
placed on the Washington road and
on the Bel Air road and all trucks
which give any indication Of carry
ing an overload are weighed. In
addition to this, four portable scales
are being moved constantly from
road to road, where conditions call
for them.
The result is that during the first
week of this campaign 64 arrests
were made, followed by convictions
in practically every case; during the
second week there were about IL
arrests and convictions, and during
the third and last week about 80.
Before the campaign began there
were practically NO arrests.
This campaign is going to be con-
tinued energetically, every violator
of the law who can be apprehended
is going to be prosecuted energetical-
ly and we have every hope that in a
short time all damage to the roads
from this cause will have ceased.

NINETEENTH FIELD ARTILLERY
win Camp Near Town On Saturday.

VIII Camp Near Town On Saturday.
The End Battalion, 18th Field Ar
tillery. Major B. f. Brown command
ing, enroute by marching from Camp
Dix to Fort Myer, Virginia. near
Washington, d. c., its home station.
is expected to arrive in Rising Sun
about noon August Ia and camp on
the farm Of j. Famous Ham. east oi
town. (the Robertson farm) ovel
night.
The battalion passed through Isis-
ing Sun enroute to Camp Dix for
target practice on June 81, and
camped that night on the old ball
grounds. Batteries d, u and f en-
brace the battalion, which is com,
posed of fine body of officers and
men selected from all the Field Artil-
lery units in the United States.
They are, after six weeks field work
at Camp Dix, in superb shape.
This battalion is armed with three
types of rs NM guns, the American
French and British. The horses
that draw the equipment have been
selected from throughout the coun-
try, and are considered to be about
the best in the service. One battery
has all bay horses, one all black, and
the other all gray.
An effort was made to arrange al
game of ball with the artillery team,
but as Rising Sun is scheduled forl
Bel Air on Saturday it is not likely
a game can be played. The Artillery
boys trimmed Rising Sun by 8 to p
on the occasion Of their former visit
here and our boys are anxious for al
return game, in order that they may
have chance to redeem themselves.
