HIGHEST PRICE PAID
FOR COUNTY BONDS
Prince Georges Commission
ers Sell $425, 900 of Road
Securities at $98.
By a stan Correspondent of The star.

By q Stan Correspondent OF The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, July 2o.--
Receiving the highest bid offered for
county bonds in the State Of Maryland
this year, the Prince Georges County
Commissioners yesterday sold $425.000
of their lateral road bonds to the Balti-
more Trust Co., at the rate of $98.
The sale Of the bonds concludes a
series Of negotiations with various
financial concerns lasting over month.
The bonds were first put on the market
early in June. Initial bids of $96.68
were rejected, and two weeks later an
other bid of $97.68 was received, but
also rejected.
Satisfied With Sale.
In view of the unfavorable condition
Of the market, and of the fact that all
other counties have had to sell their
bonds for less amounts, the Prince
Georges commissioners expressed salts
faction at being able to dispose Of their
bonds for 500. The sale clears the way
for immediate commencement of opera
lions on several roads this Summer
The bonds are part of q $550000
issue authorized at the last session Of
the Legislature. They pay Az per
cent interest and are returnable in 80
years.
In addition to disposing of the bonds
the commissioners yesterday conferred
with the State Roads Commission in
Baltimore on their road program. Spe-
cial consideration was given the pro-
posed extension of the Livingston road
from Piscataway toward the Charles
County line, which led Ct. Clinton Uhl
chairman Of the roads commission. to
agree to make personal survey of the
two routes this extension may take.
1t is planned to build three-mile ex-
tension on this road during the Summer,
and the roads commission planned to
put the gravel on the old Military road,
which was surveyed some years ago
County Commissioner Harry M. Bowsn,
however, told the road commission the
other route. known as the River road
route, which follows the present county
road Is much more suitable. as 1t serves
a rich agricultural belt and leads to ex-
tenSive waterfront developments.
Other Roads Discussed.
Among the other roads discussed at
the conference was the one from Land
over to Marlboro Because of the con-
tention over the route Of the upper por-
ton of this road. and difficulties in
regard to rights of way, the commits
sioners left the conference with the
opinion, that only the lower portion,
that from Largo to Marlboro, would be
constructed this year. That portion of
the road will be built of gravel. and
the upper portion probably of concrete.
The Prince Georges representatives
at the conference yesterday were County
Commissions Bowen and Brice Bowie,
NJ. Hampton Magruder, counsel to the
commissioners, and James c. Blackwell,
county clerk.

State Association.
By the Associated Press.

DANVILLE, Va, July 20.--Calling
for an outspoken and a free press, Louis
I. Jaf1e, editor of the Norfolk Virginian
Pilot, speaking at the annual banquet
OF the Virginia Press Association here
last night, said that the need in Vir-
ginia and elsewhere in the South is not
for newspapers "freer from legal reStric-
tions imposed by law, but newspapers
freer from Self-imposed inhibitions"
The editorial Pulitzer prize winner
for 1928, discussing the press and Vir-
ginia's coming Of age" asserted there
is joint responsibility here on the part
OF Virginia and her newspapers. Vir-
GINA, he said. should temper her COM
ing of age with wisdom and grace and
human understanding that come with
the age of discretion" and the news
paper should serve Eat once as the
criers of her wares and resources and
as the jealous watchdogs Of her liberty"
Independence Good.
Mr.. Jaffe declared that IL was good
for Virginia and the Virginia press that
editorial pages are today as never
before cultivating the art and technique
of political independence" LAS one
Virginia editor" he said. IT rejoice that
there is no such thing in Virginia today
as unimaginative. uncritical, soft-soap-
ing alliance between the newspapers
and the established State government,
directed as this alliance used to vac
cinating the public mind against the
contagion of rival political doctrine"
The emancipation of the cruder
form of partisanship does not mean
that the press of Virginia is not still
prevailing Democratic in its outlook"
the speaker said. But it does mean.
especially with the two major parties
gradually eliminating their basic eco
nomic differences under the pressure
of Nationwide industrialism, that the
newspapers are discarding the my
party right or wrong dogma and NOV
ing toward a position of complete in
dependence from which, if a public
emergency arises. they will train their
guns on Democratic leaders as en-
Enthusiastically and effectively as they
used to train them on Republican
leaders. to the end that public ONCE
may be kept public trusts and govern
merts kept responsible for the proper
discharge Of their duties to the gov
erned."
