that it sent Mr.. Mercury tumbling

W at Is Wrong With the State
Road?

the Editor of The Republican.
Apropos to the meeting recently
of some of the residents along the
State road in Allegany and Garrett
counties, which was held for the pur-
pose of devising some means for OBJ
tanning relief from the hardships i'm
posed upon them with respect to their
use of said road.
In the petition to Governor Rit-
chic only one grievance was specified,
namely: sweeping all the snow off
the center and piling it so high on
the sides that the sides cannot be
used. The result Of this practice is
that those persons who live any dis
tance-from one-fourth mile to ten
miles-off the State road cannot get
to the State road when there is
heavy bed Of snow on the ground
with any other conveyance than a
sled, and when he reaches the State
road he can't use it-no snow in the
center; too much on the sides. His
supplies OF the necessities that he
must buy in town may be running
low or exhausted; he may have grain
at the mill to be ground, or probably
he should take grain to the mill; he
may have contract to furnish tim
Der for the coal mines, or maybe he
needs coal at home; the residents of
1.-The town need milk, butter, eggs,
meat, hay, grain, fruit and vegeta-
bles that are produced in the region
along the State road, but none Of
these things can be moved further
than the State road.
The people of those regions are
subject to all the diseases that other
folks are, and to accidents; children
are born to them, but no matter how
intense the suffering or how great
the peril, no physician can reach any
Of those people; that long streak of
black in the center of the State road
with the mountain Of snow on each
side and the Lateral roads impas-
sable to any conveyance except a
sleigh, has him completely blocked,
T and who will be responsible for the
consequences
A number Of drivers Of motor We
hicles have told lae that four to six
inches Of snow on the road is not
hindrance to motor traffic, but rather
a help, as it is protection to chains
and tires and to a certain extent pre-
vents skidding, and it certainly is a
protection to the road surface.
''For the purpose of launching the
National Highway, Incorporated" a
meeting was held or was to have been
held at the offices of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association, %
Light street, Baltimore, January 10.
One of the expressed objects of the
Association is "to do everything pos
sible to make the National Highway
of today pleasant road and friendly
road for all who travel over it."
To accomplish that very desirable
object it will be necessary (a) to take
that great hump out of the center of
it and make it level, or nearly level,
latitudinally, which will, to a large
extent, prevent skidding of cars and
trucks and the falling of horses; (b)
to remove the culvert heads back out
of the road, and (c) to remove tel
egraph poles out Of the way.
l have seen cars skidding due to
that excessive crown in the center Of
the road; due to the same cause
