Road Work Ordered Cut.

Road Work ordered Cut.
Annapolis
Chairman John N. Mackall OF the
State Roads Commission, addressed
letters to the engineers warning
them to reduce operations, postpone
extensive operations and reduce the
working forces to a minimum, owing
to a misealculation in the available
funds in the budget for the remand
or OF the fiscal year.
One reason for this difficult fnan-
;ial situation is the changing Of the
ascal year starting January /, to oc-
tober /. This causes the commits
sion to have available for this years
road maintenance only three-quarters
Of the actual funds received from the
5udget, which it is also pointed out,
are short Of expectations.
1t was expected, Mr. Mackali
wrote. that the Commission would
receive s1.600.0O0 for road mainte-
nance. Expenditures and obligations
we're made and assumed to agree
with such proportions. However, the
budget was cut to s1,350,00O, which
Is $3.50, 900 less than was anticipated.
The change of the fiscal year by
the Legislature then made the 1920
year begin at January l and end
October /. Thus, the fiscal budget
IS cut for a ratio Of nine months, in
Mr.. Maeksll's Letter.
Mr.. Mackall's letter. in part, fol
lows:
l find further that our expendi-
lures and obligations to July !
amount to s7s1,47s.22, which leaves
us only s2S1.021.7s for expendi-
tures until the end of the fiscal year
on September 80.
To keep within our allotment It
will be necessary to reduce opera
tons to a minimum. / wish, there
fore. that you would postpone all
extensive operations and cut your
forces to the minimum required for
patrolling only. l realize that this
will curtail our expenditures consid-
srably, but we must keep within the
allotment unless some unforeseen
contingency should arise to make ad-
ditional expenditures absolutely nee
sssary.
Had we been advised at the be-
ginning of the year that we were
permitted to expend S1,350,000 for
maintenance we could have elm
mated some work which has been
done which was extremely desirable,
but probably not absolutely necessary
Tor the maintenance Of the roads.
With these facts in mind, will you
not advise me at an early date as
possible the minimum requirements

months in order that we may ascer-
tain whether or not It will be neces-
sary to still further 'curtail our op-
