the city commission is to protect
the interest of Mount Clemens
taxpayers, the commission last

two petitioners from Clinton

Reynolds, who voted as a

Roads Board Studies
Moving Of Annapolis
Ferry Terminals
Construction of Roads
For Use Next Summer
Is Contemplated

The Maryland State Roads Com
mission is giving serious study to
plans for moving the Annapolis
Metapeake ferry terminals because
of the congestion of traffic during
the week end rush hours, Chairman
Ezra B. Whitman said today
Mr.. Whitman said the traffic on
the ferry Sunday night, which kept
the three ferry boats running until
after l am. Monday, was much
greater" than usual because of the
Fourth of July week end traffic.
Such congestion is not expected
again until the Labor Day week end,
although the boats are taxed to
capacity on Saturday and Sunday
afternoons almost every week end.
All three boats are used on full
schedule during Saturday and Sum-
day afternoons and nights when the
greatest rush occurs, he explained.
Use of Longer Route Suggested.
Because of the week end conges-
ton, officials of the District Motor
Club, of the American Automobile
Association, have been recommend
ing that motorists who must return
from the Eastern Shore Sunday
night use the longer route by way
Monday mornings when traffic is
not heavy on the ferry
The plan for moving the terminals
Evening star., 1941-07-08

from Annapolis and Matapeake to
another route from Sandy Point,
about three miles north OF An
napolis, to a point on the Eastern
Shore opposite Sandy Point, was
proposed in the report to the State
Legislature recommending purchase
of the ferry by the State. The con-
gestion since the State Roads Com
mission took over the ferry's opera
ton has brought this plan to the
foreground. Mr.. Whitman said.
The principal advantage would be
shortening the distance the boats
would have to travel from about 8
to miles, making it possible for
them to make the crossing in about
half the time of the present sched-
ule.
Approaches Must Be Built.
Mr.. Whitman explained this would
not be possible in time to do much
good during the current season be-
cause of the necessity for construct
ing connecting roads from the
Ritchie highway to Sandy Point, a
distance of about four miles, and
from a new terminus on the East
ern Shore to the nearest highway,
a distance of about two miles.
The traffic, which has increased
greatly since year ago, partly due
to travel to and from the Eastern
Shore and Fort Meade, would war
rant building the roads, he said.
The roads could be completed in
time for the summer season next
year, he asserted.
