TAXPAYERS URGE
SURVEY Of ROADS
Prince Georges Group Also
Opposes Sale of Bonds
Under Par.
BY q stan Correspondent Of The star


LANHAM, Md, April 30.-Claimine
there are only about 42o miles Of county
roads in Prince Georges, instead Of the
5o4 miles shown on the books, men,
bers of the County Taxpayers Associa-
ton, meeting IN the public school here
today, urged the county commissioners
to have q survey made.
A survey was ordered by the COM
missioners two weeks ago, but members
OF the association claimed that 1t had
not been started. The wisdom Of the
survey has been questioned In some
quarters. because the allotment which
the county receives from the State Is
based on the county road mileage. To
reduce the mileage would be to reduce
the sum available each year for the
construction Of State roads In the
county, 1t was maintained.
Taxpayers expressed the belief that
survey would result In q more eqtiit-
able distribution Of the road fund
among the various districts and even
tually lead to a reduction in the county
road levies.
Omar c. Strawn, former road director
Of Kent district, declared he believed
the county road mileage would total
only 420 miles, If the surveys were made
while Edward L. Latimer, former county
surveyor. and father of the present sur
veyor, asserted his maps show only
417.58 miles of county road.
The association also passed resolu-
tion requesting county officers not tc
sell any bonds for less than par.
A debate between Judge Joseph H
Blandford of the Orphans Court and
Attorney j. Frank Lillard over the eff
cheney Of county government enlivened
the meeting.
Reporting for the associations In
vestigating Committee, Judge Bland
ford said the county was efficiently gov
erned and suggested that the associa-
ton direct its efforts chiefly toward
establishing a more equitable basis OF
taxation, claiming there Is little pos
sibility Of reducing taxes substantially

CROWDER SAVES
MANY GAMES
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times staff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, Aug. 9.-General
Alvin Crowder is becoming the
best money" pitcher on the
Griffs' roster. Lately, he has
saved more than just the
ordinary share of contests for the
Griffs. Yesterday he added an
other to his list, though not re-
ceiving credit for the triumph.
Manager johnson sent him into
the box in the eighth inning
when Prof. Monte Weaver was
in trouble.
With two out and two on base,
the general halted the Indians
at a time when they were most
dangerous. The Tribe had only
a. moment before scored three
runs-one short of tying The
score. Earl Averill was the first
batsman to face Crowder.
He purposely walked walked this
threat in order to work against
the right-handed hitter, Joe VoS-
mix, whom CroWder forced to
hoist long fly to West.
Vests Catch Ends Game
However, in the ninth. CroWder
was called upon to do some more
money" pitching. Morgan, first
up, beat out a sizzling grounder
over second which Cronin was
barely able to knock down. Myatt
file to Manush, but Cissell singled
to left, sending Morgan to third.
Moe Berg grabbed Kamm'S pop-up
behind the plate for the second
putout.
Clint Brown, Cleveland'S pitcher,
stepped to the plate. He is known
as an excellent hitting hurler and
the reason Manager Peckinpaugh,
of the Indians, let him go to bat
instead of some pinch-batsman.
Crowder got a count of two and
two on Mr.. Brown and then the
latter fired liner to left center.
Sammy West was near the ball,
however, and made a nice running
catch, thereby turning the howl
ing mobs cheers to groans as the
game ended. 7 to 6.
18th Win for Weaver
The Griffs scored five runs in
the second and two in the fourth
off Oral Hildebrand to get the
lead which stood them in good
stead. And Prof. Monte Weaver
began very well on the mound
but weakened woefully as the
later innings tell. At that, the
former Baltimore Oriole star an
nexed his eighteenth triumph of
the season, but owes CroWder
thanks because of the Generals
great relief work.
Sarge Connally and Clint
Brown were the two other Cleve-
land pitchers used during the
game. Both we're effective as the
Griffs could collect but one hit
after the fourth and that a single
by West in the eighth off Con-
nally. All told, Manager John
sons men gathered five bingles
against IL for the Indians.
