BALTIMORE, June 22.-The last Of
the state roads conspiracy cases was
settled yesterday when Judge Dennis
disposed of six cases in Criminal Court
Sentences of three years each were
imposed on Thomas A. Butler, and
James H. and Francis j. Woods, all
former roads employees, who at present
are still serving terms in the peniten-
tiary given them at their first trials in
the Spring Of 1928.
j. Franklin Shirley, garage owner,
who early this week was convicted on
q charge OF false pretenses In cO11riec-
ton with the roads conspiracy, was
sentenced to q year in the city jail, but
the sentence was indefinitely suspended.
The indictments against sEnoch G.
CLANCY. former roads foreman, and

spiracy) were alive, Judge Dennis said,

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, June %.
Informed that sufieient gravel was
available for the construction of the
lower portion of the Landover- Upper
Marlboro road, the Prince Georges
County commissioners requested the
State Roads Commission to make a
survey Of the existing county road from
Brightseat TO Sommers Corner, with a
view to building the upper portion of
the lateral highway along that route.
It was believed that the route sug-
gested would be about 2 miles shorter
than the one which has been consid-
cred heretofore. The commissioners
understood from the report Of the State
Roads Commission concerning the
gravel on the lower part Of the road,
that from Largo to Marlboro. 1t
would be necessary to build the upper
portion Of concrete. This would not be
possible with the $4,000 tentatively
appropriated out OF the bond issue for
the road The proposed shorter route
Is believed to be the initial step in a
compromise agreement whereby 1t will
be possible to build the entire road this
year, using gravel on the lower part
and gravel, rnacadam or concrete on
