EASTERN shores
SANDIEST ROAD
Complaint Made of Stretch
Between Mardela and
Vienna
LACK OF BRIDGE
ADDS TO TROUBLES

SALISBURY. Md. Dec. 3O-A
sandy three-mile stretch Of road is
Wicomico county, between Mardela
and Vienna, which is the theme Of
a letter from James r. Phillips. of
Preston, and is accounted for some-
what by John N. Mackall, chairman
OF the State Roads Commission.
Mr.. Phillips terms this broken
link of road as the 'sandiest in Wi
comico county or anywhere short Of
shrdl cmfwy shrdl taon hrdlu iiiii
the Sahara" Right here Mr.. Mack
all begins to differ with him and
says the stretch referred to is not
one whit sander than several hun
dred miles of other roads on the
Eastern Shore.
"Mr. Phillips speaks OF connect
ing Mardela with Vienna just like It
is as simple as one, two, three, and
infers that the State Roads Com
mission is neglecting that commun-
ity somewhat by not improving his
3-s mile stretch" said Mr.. Mack
all.
1.-The fly in the ointment is this,
there is a mighty fine little river
some hundred feet wide and ap-
proximately 40 feet deep on the
road between Mardela and Vienna.
and before a road could be built a
bridge would first have to be erect
ed. At present costs this would
mean an outlay Of about $125, 1000.
True there is a greater length
for persons to travel who live in
that section and who wish to go to
Salisbury or Ocean City, as Mr..
Phillips states, but the fact also
remains that a majority of persons
who make that trip do not live in
| the Mardela-Vionna section or even
know anything about IL They
come down the State road by way
OF Hurlock and Sharptown and into
Salisbury from this side.
Perhaps the State Roads Com
mission in 1911 should have built a
bridge at Vienna instead Of at
Sharptown. but they favored the
latter town and there is the bridge
l did not have anything to do with
that and 1 cannot see why I should
spend S125,O0O of the States money
to build a bridge to serve a small
community when there is about
$4,000. 900 needed to repair bridges
on main thoroughfares that prac-
tically are about to fall down.
III there was bridge on the
road the matter Of improving it,
sandy stretch would be simple, bu
as there is not and the road is n,
worse than several hundred mile
Of road elsewhere on the Easter
shore don't feel that the Stat
pRoad Commission should take III
the matter OF improving 1t at thi
time"
