THREE GARRETT COUNTY
ROADS TO BE IMPROVED
Crellin Road From that Point to
State Line Not Included

The majority of the people of this
section have expressed their disap-
pointment in recent days over the ac-
ton Of the State Roads Commission
for not including in their program for
road construction this summer the
two mile gap leading from Crellin to
the West Virginia State line, Just
west of Hutton, which has remained
uncompleted now for upwards Of two
years.
At the meeting of the Commission
held at its Offices in Baltimore on last
Thursday the Commission adopted for
improvement this year 80 roads as
recommended for adoption by Direc-
tor Of Public Works John N. Mackall.
The adoption program includes the
Philadelphia road to the Harfordcoun-
ty line and Eastern avenue from
Chase Street Station, Baltimore, TO-
ward the Baltimore city line and a
number Of links all over the State.
The designation of the roads to be
improved is one of the first official
acts of the commission preparatory
to the beginning Of the 1928 building
program.
According to information given out
at the office Of the Commission fol-
lowing its meeting Thursday, the
board for several weeks has been
comforting with county and city au-
thorities rgarding the matter. The
program acted upon Thursday in
cludes only apart of the roads to be
built this year, thus it is possible
that the Crellin extension will be Civ
en- proper consideration when the
Commission again meets. Included in
Thursdays list is the following for
Garrett county:
Surfacing a graded portion Of the
FriendsyilIe-Cove road.
Gortner-Red House road.
Luke-Bloomington road.

The Presbyterian and Episcopal
team Of the Oakland Sunday School
Basketball League again defeated the
Lutheran team in a close and excit-
ing game on the local floor Monday
night, the score being 1913. The
game was close throughout, the win

Had the Lutherans made the ma

won the game, but nobody seemed
able to drop them in, only one foul
being made out Of thirteen tries.
This game practically gives the

this season, having won one from the
Methodists and Catholics each and
two from the Lutherans. Next week

Of course, will be reinstated as soon
as retractiOn Of the statements
in the resolutions is made. Both the
State Department and national head
quarters Of the legion are backing
the action of State Commander Perry
Faulkner because of the constitution

The resolutions. which condemned
the bill TO forbid the Speedway race
and other sports on Memorial day as
''un-American" was passed by the ex-
ecuuve committe eof the post and not
by the entire membership, Henley
said.
A member of the posts executive
committee today declared it was the
intention of the post to fight the State
commanders action, and that it was
improbable that the committee would
yield to the extent Of retracting points
in the resolution.
He said the contents of the bill. as
represented at the State convention
in Terre Haute, to which the post
representatives acceded, were out
lined as including all sports. The
bill. as introduced in the Legislature,
now nearing final passage, he said OBJ
