Landscape Scars Attributed
To Spring Cleanup Fires

MISSOULA, May 8.-Scars on the
scenic landscape of Montana, north
ern Idaho, and northeastern Wash
ington, most noticeable TO tourists
passing through the country, can
largely be attributed to careless and
indiscriminate use of fire during the
spring and early summer cleanup.
season.
Regional Forester Evan w. Kel-
ley made this statement today while
urging loggers, sawmill operators,
ranchers, and others with spring
burning to do near forest or grass
lands to use safe methods and help
preserve the natural beauty and
resources of the northern Rocky
Mountain countryside.
A number of spring cleanup fires
near forested areas have already
burned out of control, causing cost
ly damage, he said Weather rec

normal, making the use of fire in
disposing of slash and other debris a
dangerous undertaking even at this
early season. 1t is better to dis
pose of hazards now before condi-
tons become more acute, but while
burning is being done it is recon-
mended that burners take every
precaution against flames spread
ing out of control to adjacent lands.
To prevent fires from spreading,
Regional Forester Kelley suggested
I'd that brush and debris be piled
in small compact heaps we'll away
from all brush, buildings, limby
trees, or dry grass; CD that a small
area around each pile be raked
clean of all inflammable material
CD that only a few piles be ig-
nited at one time; and (4) that 9

Governor Crothers
Highway

At the dinner meeting of the
Lions Club here, at the Village Res
taurant on Thursday evening last
a resolution was offered urging the
State Roads Commission to name
what is now known as the Philadel-
phia Road, or Route 40, the Gov
ernor Crothers Highway"
Governor Austin Lane Crothers
was the pioneer who made possible
the State and Nationwide improved
road systems. 1t was through his eff
forts that measure was passed by
the Maryland Legislature taxing
gasoline to create a fund with which
to build improved roads in the State.
A pioneer, who made practical
the building of improved roads oil
a large scale, Governor Crot,iers'
name is hardly ever heard men
toned in connection with the great
improved road system that has
spread, from Maryland, as pioneer
State in the movement, throughout
the country.
Austin Lane Crothers was ma
tive of Cecil county, born near Oak
wood, attained prominence as an
attorney at Elkton Bar, and went
through the Legislative halls to the
seat of Governor.
Other men who have done less for
the improved road movement have
been signally honored, and is there
any good reason why little bit of
honor should not be given Gov.
Crothers by the naming of high
way for the man who was directly
responsible for the, real beginning
of good roads in our State.

Chesapeake Bay Span

A struggle in the Legislature over
esapeake Bay fairies doomed at
Annapolis again on Friday, after a
Court of Appeals decision breathed
life into the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Authority.
Created in 1885, the authority
was believed to have "died" in 1880
when no span had been started with
in two years.
But it is still very much alive, the
decision, written by Judge F. Neal
Parke, declared.
The court upheld the Public
Service Commission in its refusal to
grant a franchies to the Mcry.and
Bay Ferry Company to operate 6
line in competition with the Clai-
borne-Annapolis Ferry Company
The statute creating the au-nor-
ity. the opinion said, fidid not limit
within which the authority could
start building a bridge, but did
limit to two years it's right to buy
and operate the Claiborne-Annap2-
lis line if no span was begun by
1897.
The Public Service Commission
refused to give the franchise on the
ground the 1895 statute prohibited
building a bridge or operating q
ferry within 20 miles OF the pro-
posed terminal of the bridge, a site
from Miller's Island to Kent Island.
