STATE CARRYING OUT PRETENTIOUS
ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

the end of the Deer Park road over
the mountain to Kitzmiller. 1t is ex-
pected this section will be completed
by the middle of June. A new section
of about five miles has been adver-
tised and is to be built this year.
This will give modern concrete road
to Kitzmiller, on the Potomac river,
where connection will be made with
the West Virginia system, Blaine, w.
Va, being just opposite Kitzmiller,
which in turn connects with the
Northwestern pike. A move is on
foot to make it part of cross
continent system, to be known as
National Highway, or Route so. This
will give Cumberland peopleta new
scenic route, going to Kitzmiller by
way of Mountain Lake Park and re-
turn by way of Keyser.
Overhead Bridge at Wilson
r. A grade crossing is being elimi-
mated at Wilson, Nd, by an overhead
bridge over the main line of the
Baltimore and Ohio. This is near
Oakland. At Loeb Lynn Heights, it
is contemplated to build two miles of
road this season.
The contractors have completed
the substructure at Gormania for the
erection of a new bridge which will
span the Potomac river and the Wes-
tern Maryland Railroad tracks at
that place. This bridge is being built
jointly by Maryland and West Vir-
ginia and is a part of the North
western turnpike system.
The proposed modern road from
McCool to Westernport, Ats miles,
is to be built of concrete this season,
according to present plans. Shoulder
ing of the Georges Creek Boulevard
from Frostburg to Westernport is al
so in the seasons program, as is the
building of several miles of shoulders
on the Cumberland McCool road.
Plans also call for the replacement
of iron bridges by concrete structures
on the Georges Creek Boulevard in
the vicinity of Barton.
A general oiling all over Western
Maryland is also provided for this
season.

PROHIBITION LOOMS AS ELECTION ISSUE
Controversy May Split Repub!i-
 can Ranks in 1882

Washington, Oct. 22 P-Repub- lican dry chieftains are preparing to insist that their party's 1882 plat form contain plank declaring against repeal of the 18th amend ment.
 They are biding their time, the meanwhile quietly awaiting returns from the congressional elections two weeks hence. But already inti- nations are heard that unless this plank against repeal is incorporated in the republican platform a third party movement may be started.
 Tho democrats, too, are having their worries over prohibition in contemplating the 1882 prospect, with their leading presidential pos abilities divided widely on the is- sue.
 However, in spite of the political ariditY of the southern states repub- lican prohibitionists are less hope full now of repeating their 1928 suc- cesses in the south, even though the democrats should select wet nomi- nee. Also the republican candidates in New York and New Jersey this year are campaigning for repeal and there is every indication that the delegations of these states to the

CITY ACTS SWIFTLY

The emergency being present, the city will need s100,000, which will be paid of during five years through the medium of a special tax. The emergency is one that every citizen knows must be solved.
 No criticisms have been made against the plan; nobody would have the nerve to utter a criticism.
 New Britain is forehanded in this matter, and is little ahead of some of her larger brethren. News dis patches from throughout the land indicate that numerous cities of prominence are just beginning to grapple with the employment problem, and all of them are deal- ing in big figures.
 The belief that conditions have been worse in this hardware capital than in some other industrial cities is not borne out by dispatches. AL though there is no way of coming to conclusion except through guess work, careful reading of news in- dicating what other cities are plan- ming to do indicates that New Brit ain has no monopoly upon unem- ployment, to put it mildly. The worst conditions arc in the biggest cities.
New Britain herald., 1930-10-22
THE PIGGERY SITUATION

According to the Board of Health, nobody can run a. piggery in the city without certain distasteful con- comitants. At present the city's gar basc is collected by man operating | pisgery in the Pennington avenue section; he feeds the garbage to the pigs and they wax fat. Pigs are not particular what they cat.
 There must be money in the busi- ness, too, seeing that the renewal of the contract is necessary and there is at least one other piggery en- thusiast in the field. This second firm, it is said, has obtained land off Corbin avenue and would give the pigs break in that section. And there may be others with similar ambitions.
 All of this could be eyented, of course, if the city had a modern garbage incineratins plant. But that would cost money, and the city ad- ministration is in mood to save money rather than eHpend it, even if the expenditure is for acquiring capital improvements.
 Some day the city will have to get it's incinerator regardless of the cost. This business of operating pig series cannot go on indefinitely. The ohly thing that can be said for the

HOOVER FOR PINCHOT?

That was a sudden turn in Penn sylvania's hectic politics having to do with Clifford Pinchot's statement that President Hoover stands for the election of the entire Republican ticket in the state, including of course, MT. Pinchot.
 Secretary James J. Davis, cabinet member and senatorial nominee in the state, says, however, he has heard of no such blanket endorse ment from the President.
 It is a pretty kettle of fish all around. In ordinary times the Presi- dent might be expected to tacitly en- dorse any Republican ticket any where, but many Republican chief tains in Pennsylvania, notably in Philadelphia, have swarmed away from the Pinchot candidacy, so that an endorsement of Pinchot by the President would tend to make these chieftains rather peeved.
 That there is some possibility that Mr. Pinchot is right can be gathered from the fact that Secretary Mellon, boss of the Pittsburgh district re- publicanism, favors MT. Pinchot. This family quarrel among Penn- sylvania Republicans is likely to last much longer than the election

QUERYING EDITORS

Amos w. w. Woodcock, federal prohibition chieftain. had grand idea about week ago and forth with 5000 questionnaires went into the mails from the department di- rected at the innocent editors of the country relative to their stand on the prohibition question.
 Then another grand idea was evolved, this time that the question naire might be misconstrued and misjnterpreted; and other letters went forth to ignore the question naire.
 Thus this latest effort at addition al fact-inding goes by the boards. . What editors think about prohi- bition might have some bearing on prohibition enforcement, although we fail to sec just how. It seems to us, by the way, that in this prohibi- tion mess there have been more at tempts at finding facts than in en- forcing the law.
 Querying editors has some weak points. The drys probably have the most newspapers of small circula- ton, while the vets have the ma- jority of large circulation. There are thousands of small weekly neNspaperS in the rural regions all mostly local in character and telling all about the doings of local resi- dents. They incline toward prohibi- ton almost 10 an editor. The city newspapers, far in the minority as to numbers but far in the majority as to circulation. incline toward wet ness Mir. Woodcock's original scheme would have resulted in a majority of editors favoring prohi- bition; but the total of readers represented probably would have shown large wet majority.
 It so happens, however, that thou sands of wet readers read dry papers and thousands of dry readers read wet papers Local conditions bring this about. Wet papers in Connecti- cut, for instance, representing q pre- ponderatingly wet constituency. arc read by dry readers because there is nothing else 10 do. if for no other reason. Similarly dry newspaper in Kansas must be read by such wet readers as exist in that dry com monVealth.
 MT. Woodcoch's quesGonnaire, therefore, would have resulted in the worst mixed up returns ever devised. He himself admits his hind sight was far better than his foresight.

THE MIXED UP CAMPAIGN

Party labels in this clection-tak- ing the country as a whole-seem 10 mean les than ever before. This IS a good sign, even if it has taken prohibition to bring about the chaos in party alignment, causing Repub- lcans to support Democrats and Democrats to support Republicans.
 Ncglecting the national situation and coming down 10 local capers, it must have been painful to the Re publican town committee 10 discov- CT that such a lifelong Republican" as sac D. Russell, treasurer of the American Hardware Corporation, will support Dean Cross and Mir. Lonergan.
