THAT MILE OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION.

THAT MILE OF ROAD CONSTRU CTION.
county yet unattached mile of concrete
road be built this and there to be strenuous effort
from several directions to attach it.
The decision where piece of State road is to be laid
down, rests with the State Roads Commission but it makes
show of consulting local preference by asking the County Com
mssones for recommendations to what the wishes OF the
county may be in the matter
Then the Commission pleases disregard the
mendaton build where it tnketh good and proper
why to the trouble to seek advice in the first instance
But if the Commission disposed listen to the voice
of the county, the mile it, will be built from
Pocomok City the direction of Cedar Hail. last Tuesday,
the County Commissioners by majority vote recommended first
the Wilton route, and secondly the Cedar Hall.
nasmuch the State authorities have unequivocay turned
the former them either build the latter
ignore the peoples wishes entirely place the elsewhere
We have desire whatever angne the endeavor of others
claims of Pocooke City equal to that of other section of
the county, and deserving of equal consideration
In the matter of lateral road construction Pocomoke City has
not been fortunate enough consideration ALL
tho it's business interests would demand SUCH the direction
Of Cedar Hail. from the Dividing Creek neghbohood from the
old Red Hills road and Others there
to the commercial life of the city, and these highways still
improved tho repeated efforts have been made to interest the
State But other sections there has mile after mile built
apparently SATISFY not the needs of the people general
the individual wishes of favored few cater those inter-
ested in the pleasurable side of life.
We do not wish be understood assaing anybod udg
ment in the matter of roadbudg If the State thought ad
vsabe to build where did, matter what the all well
and good 1t is tribute the influence individuals
and of certain corporations that they could swing the
they did and trying to profit by their example and
get some OF the good things and trust solely with
view of the general good.
We understand that the Cedar Hall proposition
turned down absolutely We informed that the State thinks it
best finish roads already begun We think
finished only after is begun and there
road locality will be undertaken simply
another locality is finished.
Therefore would like to the Cedar Hall begun
since that is the only have will be finished
it's finishing hand hand with Others people,
sure being willing to divide whatever funds available
TO allow other sections to share matter how short projection
might be made as the years go by.
The people of Pocomoke assuming the attitude of
Watchfu walters The delegation at Snow Hill Tuesday
showed united interest in demanding what they thought
due this section in the matter involved feeling here is that
something due this district lateral road building The County
Commissioners with dissenting VOTE feeling
II the road does not way will be hard explain
why not We have been favored with construction
arteries than other the county, given
the go-by in the matter of lateral building.
The County Board puts squarey the State build
here toward Whon the latter has dropped
sderao some will have to do hard explaining if the
mile goes in another direction. -
