BAD MD. ROADS
LAID TO STATE
BOARDS POLICY
CoughIan Cites Efforts
To Get Repairs

SILVER SPRING, Nd, Aug. 9.
It's not the county, but the State,
which has "gummed UP" Mont.
gomery county'S road program.
Such was the comeback of
County Comm. -sioner Paul M.
Coughlan today to last weeks
blast from President Washington
I. Cleveland, of the District of Co.
lumbia club of the American Auto
mobile Association.
Mr.. Cleveland had a lot to say
about roads which led nowhere,
and roads which were built to
serve a few political favorites.
Blames Road Board
But Commissioner Coughlan
blames it all on the Maryland
State Roads Commission, accusing
its members of inefficiency and
favoritism in the county road
maintenance program.
Citing the commissions refusal
to turn over to the county its share
Of the State gasoline tax fund,
with the understanding that the
county would maintain its own
secondary roads, Coughlan pointed
out that similar requests had been
granted both Baltimore and Anne
Arundel counties.
Coughlan declared the county
engineering department, if per-
mitted to do so, could maintain
its secondary roads ''in much bet.
ter condition, at a saving of at
least Is per cent of the present
cost of maintenance under the
State Roads Commission"
Can't Get Repairs &
He also charged that because
he is unwilling to approach an
unofficial intermediary" he is
getting no action on his requests
for important road repairs in the
eastern suburban section of the
county. The commissioner stated:
Il have been told that Harold
Smith, of Rockville, is the man
to see to get action on requests
for road improvements.
II have not been to see Judge
Smith (judge of the County Po-
lice Court in this connection
and I have no intention of do
ing so.
MY attitude Is that members
of the Board of County Commits.
sioners are the elected admin
istrative officials Of the county
and the members Of the State
Roads Commission should deal
with them directly in matters
pertaining to the county instead
Of acting through some inter-
| mediary."

PETITIONS SEEK
POWER SURVEY
FOR ARLINGTON
Public Owned System
Sought in County

ARLINGTON. W., Aug. 9.-Pe.
titions asking the Arlington
County Board to utilize the $4,000
fund set UP in the county budget
for a survey to determine the
feasibility of constructing a pub
licly-owned electric power system
were being circulated here today.
Sponsors said they expect to
obtain the signatures of between
1000 and 5000 citizens to the Pc
titions before the next meeting of
the county board on August IA.
In asking for a survey by rep
utable engineers, who are in no
way connected with the power in.
terests," the petitions cite a COM
parative schedule Of rates charged
Arlington county residents in one
year by the Virginia Public Service
Company, which serves the major
ity of county homes, and the Brad.
dock Light and Power Company,
which serves a small section Of
the county, from RosSlyn to the
courthouse.
The schedule displayed on the
petitions shows that customers
using about equal amounts of cur
rent during the year paid $30.65
to the v. P. S. Co. and 1885 to
the Braddock company. The rate
comparison, however, does not in
clude the reduction made by the
Virginia company this spring.
After stating that "the electric
rate charged by the Virginia Pub
lie Service Company is entirely
out of proportion" the petitions
request the county board Ito en-
ploy engineers to make survey
of the county and report the true
situation as to charges for cleo
trio current"
County Manager Frank C. Han
rahan said recently he is ready
to make his recommendation on
the proposed survey, having COM
pleted an extensive study of con-
ditions here. He has not intimated
his stand on the question, how
ever.
Indications are that the county
managers recommendation may
be made at the next meeting of
the county board on August IA.
The $4,000 fund for a survey was
included in the county budget on
the recommendation of Manager
Hanrahan.
