TRUNK LINE" HIGHWAY
BILL GETS SUPPORT
Delegation Of Southern Mary
landers Urge Favorable Re-
port On Measure In Senate
PROVIDES BOND ISSUE

Contending that the State can make
no better investment for the taxpayers
than i'm road construction, a large
delegation OF residents of Southern
Maryland and representatives of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation. of Baltimore. appeared before
the Senate Finance Committee yester-
day afternoon and urged a favorable
report on the bill providing for a
trunk line" highway from Southern
Maryland to Baltimore.
The bill provides for bond issue
OF 81 000,0 900 TO pay the cost of the pro-
posed road. but Robert Grain, lawyer
and owner of extensive farm lands in
Charles county. said the finances OF
the proposition have been worked out
in such a manner that for the first
year in paying off the debt the cost to
a taxpayer owning $4,000 worth of
property would be only eight cents
additional and in the last year but 20
cents additional.
Senator Mitchell. of Charles county,
who, with Senator Sasscer, of Prince
Georges county. introduced the BILL,
explained it's provisions. saying that
the present State highways system
leads through Washington from
Southern Maryland instead of through
Baltimore.
The proposed road would originate
at a point near Mattawoman. in
Charles county. passing through Up
per Marlboro. in Prince Georges
county, and connecting at Benfleld,
Anne Arundel county, with the pres
ent State highway leading into Balti-
more.
w. Mitchell Digges, naval officer for
the port of Baltimore and resident of
Charles county. said the proposed
road would benefit not only Southern
Maryland and Baltimore, but every
other section of the State, where the
profits would accrue from an increase
in the taxable basis of the State.

Metals Reviewed.

NEW YORK. September So.-An
unusually active demand from rail-
roads has featured the steel market
this week and has given prices a
steady tone. The greatest demand
has been for rails, buyers taking ad-
vantage OF the last days OF the old
prices, but there has also been a good
business in other railroad necessities.
Otherwise the market has been less
active, with buyers more disposed to
await Developments. Pig iron shows
an easier tendency, owing to improved
fuel conditions and increased produc-
ton.
Copper Remains STEADY.
Copper has remained steady, with
a moderate trade. Aside from a fair
business with Great Britain. foreign
demand has been quiet and buying
for domestic consumption has con-
tinued on conservative lines. Demand

Other Metals Quoted.
Tin has ruled dull and easy The
apparent firmness in London was on
