The relief bill passed by the general
assembly, and now before me, esti-
mates revenues for relief purposes in
the sum of $5,OOO,OOO. This is 81, 34O,-
900 less than the minimum fixed by the
Board of State Aid and Charities.
Upon the best advice obtainable by me,
1 am convinced that instead of rails
ing $5,O6O,0O0, the relief bill will not
produce more than 1885, 900, which is
a loss of 1,475,00O, situation which,
in itself, justifies disapproval of the
bill.
81 shall, therefore, veto Senate bill
No. 331, chapter 1872, and promptly re-
convene the general assembly in extra
ordinary session. While the executive
has no authority over the deliberations
of the general assembly, public inter-
est requires that this extraordinary
session shall confine itself to the en-
actment of an adequate relief meas
ure."

TWO ROAD PROJECTS TO
Be CONSIDERED BY BODY
County Commissioners Meet
With State Roads Commission
To Discuss Road Situation Here
SEEK TO REDUCE EXPENSE

State roads officials told men,
bers of the Garrett County Board
of Commissioners Tuesday in
Baltimore they would consider
the construction of two sections
of stabilized roads in an effort
to reduce the estimated cost of
highway work planned for the
county this summer.
Virgil T. Steyer and John w.
Herman, members of the local
board, appeared before the Roads
Commission to learn the county's share
of the highways costs before fixing the
tax rate next week.
DIR. Homer E. Tabler, Commission
chairman, and Nathan L. Smith, its
chief engineer, met the County Com
missioners in Oakland yesterday to in
spect the proposed improvement sites
and discuss means of building the
roads.
Take Firm Stand
Mr.. Steyer told the roads body that
the County Commissioners would
"rather be in the red than disappoint
our people," He said the "people are
expecting improvements to the roads
and we are going to satisfy them"
Chairman Tabler asserted that the
work to be done this summer must be
governed by recently enacted legisla-
ton. He pointed out that the debts in
the roads funds of three counties had
been eliminated and the loss of revenue
must be apportioned among the coun-
ties.
The Commissioners figures showed
that Garrett county was expecting to
receive this year $88,335 from the
gasoline tax; $18,726 from a bond is
sue for new construction, and $10,272
for reconstruction work.
After deducting the expenditures
needed for road maintenance and debt
service, the county would have a bal
ance of about $4,000. The program
for the county includes one mile on the
Observation-Disclosures road at $4,000
and one mile on the Loeb Lynn-Gor-
man road at $4,000.
DR.. Tabler and Mr.. Smith asserted
these estimates were made on the basis
of macadam roads and would leave a
debt of about $4,000. They proposed
that the roads be stabilized with local
crushed shale, which has proved salts
factory in Washington county.
The program included the Mountain
Lake-Deer Park road, which would be
Works Progress Administration pro-
ject, but Mr.. Steyer said the County
Commissioners would oppose the'work
unless the other roads were improved.
At yesterdays conference, DR..
Tabler assured the Commissioners
that this years program would in
clude the building of one mile each of
stabilized roadway on the Loeb Lynn
German road, and the Grantsville-
Bittinger road. The mile on the Loeb
Lynn-Gorman road would bring the
improvement to the White Church
community. The construction would
cost approximately $4,000 per mile.
