never did think they would. Them
fellers on the Road Commission have
got too much sense to do that. If they
wasted several hundred thous-
and dollars on road that wouldn't be
used after il was finished they'd never
hear the last of it, and they'd lose
their Jobs, sooner or later, for making
such a blunder.
"Let me outline route for you,'
went on the Squire. "Let it come out
Burke street in Martinsburg, cross the
stone bridge over the Opequon, pas
that there new golf club, to Winebren-
ner'S Cross Roads and on to Walper's
Cross Roads on the Kearneys-
vile pike. Then carry it on by what
ever route you choose to ShenandC
Junction and from there to Charles
Town. That will accommodate through
travel and serve the local people
the same time. 1t will please the Mar
tnsburg golfers; it will give straig'
route between Mar.inSburg and Charlie
Town; It will take in Shenandoah Junc
uon; and It ought to satisfy Sheph,
Town folks fairly we'll, if the spur is
