BOARD To SETTLE
DISPUTE OVER ROAD
County Commissioners, In Body,
Will Visit Masons, And
Owings Beach

To settle the long pending contro-
Versy on the question OF the public
necessity of opening a county road be-
tween 0wings ana Masons Beach in
the Eighth district, the Board of
County Commissioners has decided to
visit the premises in a body.
This decision was reached at yester-
days meeting of the Board. An in
vestigating commission of three. an.
pointed by the Board several weeks
ago, made favorable recommenda.
tion regarding the opening of the
road. Later it developed that the
commission was not legally constitut-
ed, in that two OF the three members
were not land owners, and we're.
therefore, not qualified to pass upon
the matter. Thus the question was
left wide open, ana hence the action
of the Board to resolve itself into a
committee of the whole" to finally
settle the contention. The inspection
will be made at an early date.
Want Two Miles Lateral Road

Magothy river. appeared before the
Board at Tuesdays meeting and re.
quested the building of two miles OF
State lateral road. leading from Ja-
cobsville to the Island. 1t was point
ed out to the Commissioners that an
improved highway is absolutely es.
sential to bring about the early de
velopment of property; that many
persons have already laid plans 10
build, but that the condition of the
highway is such as TO render IL al
most out Of the question TO haul ma
terials therefor. The Board will take
up the matter when the time comes
to make up the allotment of lateral
road building. This section Of the
county was allowed a mile of such
highway about year ago, the road
improved being what is known as the
Mountain Road.
1t was expected the Board woule
take final action looking to the ap
pointment of County Road Engi-
neer, but the subject was not touched
upon.
