We May Have Free Bridges.

Governor Ritchic of Maryland has
signed Senate bill No. 262, introduced
by Senator Mish, of Washington coun-
ty, and passed by the Maryland Legis-
iature at its recent session. which ap-
propriates Sl25,0O0 to pay for the
bridges crossing the Potomac river at
Hancock, Williamsport, Shepherds
town and Harper's Ferry. The
measure provides for the joint owner
ship of the bridges by Maryland ami
West Virginia, the money for Mary
lands half to be forthcoming on June
|, 1920. The basis agreed to is for
each State TO pay one-half the cost.
The present bridges are all toll
bridges, and the measure is intended d
TO stimulate trade between the sec
tions. Credit for the passage Of the
bill rests with the Senator from Wash
ington county.
Acting on the recommendation of a
commission appointed by the Legis-
lature of West Virginia, in which as
sent was signified TO the joint owner
ship OF bridges in Washington county
across the Potomac river to give free
passage to traffic, the Legislature OF
Maryland has now appropriated sum
not to exceed Sl25.0 600 for the pur-
chase of the bridges. Washington
county will be principally affected by
the measure, as the places named in
the bill all lie within that county. II is
now law, having been signed by the
Governor Immediately after its pas

Visit From An Aeroplane.

Last Friday an aeroplans that few
very low over Shepherdstown attract
Cd considerable attention by its
maneuvers. 1t circled around the
town and finally made landing in a
field on the Shepherd farm along the
Charles Town pike. about a mile south
of this place. The machine was
manned by its owners, two young men
from Pittsburg, who had just purchas-
ed II from the government. They had
started from Washington for Pitts
burg, and found the head winds so
strong they were afraid that they might
not be able TO make it across the
mountains with the gasoline they car
fied, so they concluded to stop here
and replenish their tank. The gas
wagon from Charles Town came along,
and after putting in fifteen gallons of
the fuel they started off in good style,
with the expectation of making Union
town, Pa, by nightfall Quite a crowd
had gathered about the aeroplane BY
the time IT was ready to start off again.
We believe that this is the first time
that Shepherdstown has had a call
from an aeroplane, though from time
to time they fly high over our heads.

To Boost the Bond Issue.

The campaign for the proposed is
sue OF bonds up to S50,000,000 for the
construction of improved roads in
West Virginia will be opened in Jeffer-
son county next week, when public
meetings will be held in Charles Town
on Tuesday April 10th, and in Shep-
herdstown on Wednesday, April 2lst.
Byron X. Cisco, acting campaign man
ager OF the West Virginia Good Roads
Federation, and Edward St. G.. Smith.
division engineer Of the fifth road
division OF the State, will be present
at the meetings, and will organize the
county for the State wide campaign
in behalf OF the proposed amendment
10 the constitution allowing the bond
issue. The plan is TO form county or
ganizations officered by local citizens,
and this central body is then to or
ganizc the county down to the election
precincts.
There is comparatively little en-
thusiasm here for the proposed amen1-
mcnt, as il has been the experience OF
our people that the help supposed to be
extended by the State and federal gov
ernments is hedged about with so
many restrictions and the specifica-
tlons require such costly construc-
tion as to make their style OF road
building entirely too high in price. The
interminable red tape system is an
other exasperating feature that the
people seem to be unwilling to tie
themselves up with. 1t is no more
than fair, however. to hear what the
good roads advocates have to say for
our information and enlightenment,
and everybody who can possibly do so
should attend these meetings. We all
want good roads, and IL there is a
feasible and reasonable way to get
them, let us have them by all means.
