SHORE LIKES
OUR FINE ROADS
Fl. r. O'COnor Uses Delaware
Roads to Get to Lower
End of Peninsula
PRAISES PLANNING

Atty.-Gen Herbert r. O'COnOr,
one of the candidates for the Dem
ocratic nomination for the COVER
norship, cited the great bulk of
Maryland traffic that drives
through Delaware because the
Eastern Shore area has no regular
boulevard route The candidate,
addressing an overflow audience,
advocated a boulevard for the
length of the peninsula through
Maryland counties. To illustrate
the need of a north-south boule-
ward on the Eastern Shore, the at
torney general told the audience
that he, like nearly all others trav-
cling from Baltimore to points on
the lower shore, had used the
neighboring Delaware DUPONT
Highway to make the trip. 1T is
indeed unfortunate that we in
Maryland have to use the splendid
roads of Delaware for our long dis
tance motoring Maryland was one
of the first states to establish an
improved system of highways and
here on the Eastern Shore you
were given hard roads while your
neighbors in Delaware still were
using dirt roads. But what hap
pened? Delaware, using a long
range plan, built roads which still
can be used for modern high speed
traffic. Here on the Eastern Shore
you have basically the same sys-
tenn you had at first. submit that
the use of our neighbors' highways
is proof that we, here in Maryland
realize the advantage of such long
range planning" He said he had
studied new highway construction
records and found that during the
last two and half years the East
ern Shore had been the "stepchild
of the State Roads Commission. ="
OF the $9,7OO,0O0 spent for this
purpose, he said, only 10 per cent
was used on the shore. Half of
this 10 per cent was expended in
one county-Cecil- with the re-
naming eight shore counties re-
ceiving but five per cent of the to-
tai state expenditure.
