JOHNSONSVlLLE RESIDENTS
WANT NEW STATE ROAD

TOWNSVILLE, Md, Oct. 29.-Resi-
dents Of Union Bridge, townsville and
points in the vicinity of Liberty are
much interested in securing a State
road from Union Bridge to Liberty, by
way of townsville. While pressure has
been brought to have the State build
a road from New Windsor to Liberty,
the Union Bridge route, 1t is said,
would serve many more taxpayers and
would mean much more to the busi-
ness interests Of this city.
An improved road from New Wind
sor to Union Bridge will be built in
the near future. What is considered
the logical move now is the construc-
ton of a highway from Union Bridge
to Liberty by way Of townsville. This
road, IL built, would intersect an i'm
proved road at Liberty, thus affording
a State road all the way from Union
Bridge to Frederick. II would open
and develop a more populous section
than the route from New Windsor to
Liberty. ....
