COMPLAIN Of DELAY
IN ROAD BUILDING
States Failure to Provide for
Prince Georges County,
Md, Protested.

Citizens of Prince Georges county.
through the Good Roads League, to-
day expressed their disappointment to
Gov. Richie of Maryland over the
failure of the state roads commission
to advertise contracts for any high
way construction in that county, when
the schedule for 1920-21 was issued
yesterday.
In a letter to the Maryland execu-
tive John R. Riggles, president of the
Frlnce Georges County Good Roads
League, protested the failure of the
road commission to include in it's an
nual project an addition to the de-
tense highway now being constructed
from Bladensburg to Annapolis.
Anxious for Extension.
The present contract at the Bla-
densburg and of the highway carries
densburg to a point between Land
over and Ardwick. Residents of the
county were particularly anxious to
nave a new contract advertised to
carry the work to the overhead
bridge at Lanham.
the league claims that this piece
OF road construction would benefit
more taxpayers and citizens than any
or the work actually planned by the
commission, as the section is thickly
settled. Attention is also called by
Mr.. Riggles to the fact that this high
way Is memorial to the soldiers who
gave their lives in the world war and
that its rapid completion would be
highly appreciated by their more for
tunate comrades in arms.
