solutely impossible and
-.vIng beyond this hill have
one outlet that by way OF
Chapel Point. This outlet too.
is in such condition that travel
in winter is well nigh impossi.
BILE.
This road should be kept in
first class repair at all times for
many reasons, First of all is
because those living on this road
pay taxes as well as citizens liv-
ing in other sections Of the coun-
ty and they should derive the
same DEMENT'S. They are enti-
tied to at least decent roads over
which to travel and send their
children to school. AS it is, they
are receiving little if any benefit
from the money they pay in
taxes. Secondly, the historic
old county seat of Port Tobacco
is visited by many people, par
ticularly former residents of the
county, and though abandoned
as the county seat, entrance to
it should be made easy. Much
of the early history of the coun
ty is conferred around Port To
bacco and the few walls of its
historic buildings bring back
many pleasant memories to those
who knew the town when it was
IN is zenith as the leading town
1of the county. Thirdly, the
above mentioned road furnishes
one Of the most picturesque and
beautiful drives in this county
and we who are proud of our
county and its traditions like to
show it off to the best advantage.
And again, we want to brig set
tiers here from other cLmes.
The high hills and the fine farms
bordering on this road furnish a
strong temptation to outsiders
to buy property and settle among
US.
We cannot build up our couaty
and keep people here if we are to
allow roads such as the one we
are referring to remain in its
present condition. Again we say
it is a disgrace, and a black eye
to our county, and we call upon
those who are responsible for
the upkeep Of our county roads
the Road Commissioners
get busy at once and remove the
one remaining blot that stands
out against our county and its
people.
Good roads exist to every other
place of importance in the coun-
ty - Morgantown, Benedict,
Rock Point and Riverside and
yet the road through one of the
most historic and picturesque
sections of our county remains a
disgrace and a blot on its fair
name.
Several pcssons have purchas-
ed lots on Port Tobacco Creek
and now can only get to them by
a und-about way, except by
foot. We cali upon the Road
Commissioners in the name OF
those persons, in the name OF
progress and tor the sake OF our
county's pride to get to work al
once, repair this road so that the
disgrace that it is now causing
may be wiped out.

NEW NOTE ISSUE
 IS ANNOUNCED
(Continued From Page One. )

used in retiring war time securities of this government, so that as result of the June operation the gross debt of the United States government will be reduced by $350,O00,000 if not more.
 It is evident that the treasury will finish the year with surplus larger than was originally calculated and this will enable use of a greater share of the tax payments in current expendi- lures during July and August.
 Officials declined today to give defi- nite figures on the amount of the sur- plus with which they expect to end the fiscal year, June 30, but rough calcula- tiens placed the figure around $400,- 100000. Original estimates by the treasury upon which the tax reduction program was based by Secretary Mel lon showed a surplus of $323, 100000. With the 25 per cent reduction in taxes made operative by the new tax law, receipts in the June 15, September 15 and December 15 installments will be lower than was calculated, but only the first date will affect this present fiscal year.
 Mir. Melons announcement of the June offering and program said the treasury will accept maturing certifi- cates and notes in payment for the new certificates. Maturing securities which may be exchanged were identified as series TJ-1924 and series A-1924.
