AS We See It
By MONTCO

THE SO-CALLED TYDINGS-RAD-
CIIFFE BILL was vetoed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt last week. The purpose
of this bill was the construction of a
number of bridges. One was to span
the Chesapeake, one to span the Bal
timore Harbor, one over the Potomac
and one, an extra crossing over the
Susquehanna at Havre de Grace.
1t seems that some interests are too
fondly counting plan to bridge the
Baltimore Harbor. Just what contri-
button will be made to the country
at-large by spending ten to fifteen
million dollars for such purpose is
hard to see. It is natural that Balti-
more would favor the plan. 1t is noted
that nothing was said about ROADS.
But it takes only horse sense to real
ize that once the expensive bridges
are built ROADS will have to lead to
and from them. Going farther it
means that once the Baltimore Har-
Dor is spanned the long-planned
North-South Highway will never
touch either Howard or Montgomery
County but will be routed through
the eastern section of Baltimore
County, across Baltimore City and
through Anne Arundel County.
The President gave as the reason
for his veto the fact that the War
Department had objected and that
nothing should be done to obstruct the
development of Baltimore as shipp-
ing center.
We desire to call attention to ONE
EXISTENT FACT. BRIDGES are the
most expensive part of road building
and NEARBY IN HOWARD
COUNTY WE HAVE A MODERN
BRIDGE eco feet wide) COMPLET-
ED BUT NOT YET OPEN TO
TRAFFIC. This is the new bridge al
Union Dam for the Edmondson Ave-
nue. Extension. Grading for the new
road on both the Baltimore and How
ard County sides has been practically
completed.
Is it rot conceivable that this
should be used for the North-South
Highway? Experts have stated that
the cost of bridging the Baltimore
Harbor would be as much as building
dual highway from the Susquehan-
ma to the District Line.
Can any sound reason be advanced
to justify the routing of North-South
traffic through Baltimore City by
spending more than double the
amount needed for route by-passing
Baltimore and routed from Silver
Spring through Montgomery, Howard
and on to the Susquehanna at a point
between Havre de Grace and Como
wingo?

all because they had been forbidden to
associate with the soldiers at nearby
