a 3-length lead.
Bon Jour, which had been
running easily in third position,
moved up around the final turn
but Megogo, winner of the Potomac
Handicap here earlier in the meet
ing, had enough speed in the stretch
to turn him back by a length
margin.
Bon Jour in turn led Miss r. Nc
Cienaghan's Harford by two lengths,
and Lord Calvert finished fourth in
the field of six.
The winner earned a purse of

Commissioners Seek
Federal Aid For
Secondary Highways
Spokesman For All Commission
ers of Western Maryland Is
Before House Committee

Federal highway aid should be eX-
tended to -to-market on second
airy roads as well as the main state
Roger Willard, county roads
engineer for Frederick county, spokes-
man for members of the County Com
missioners of Western Maryland, told
the Roads committee of the House of
Representatives last week when the
group appeared before the committee
through arrangements made by Rep.
]. Glenn Beall, of the Maryland Sixth
district.
"Any Federal highway aid legisla-
ton should include a definite allot-
mcnt of money to the farm market
roads," declared Mr. Willard, because
the secondary roads, Of far greater
total mileage than the main state high
ways, arc the roads over which most
of the foodstuffs of the nation must
move to the main highways and to
markets
secondary roads, in Maryland as in
other states, are in deplorable con-
dition for the most part. In far too
many instances, even schools are
closed during the spring and fall. The
counties and states do not have suf-
ficicnt funds to properly improve the
large milcages of inadequate roads,
which are not only costly to the pro
duccrs Of farm products but to the
consumers in cities of even other
states.
The House Roads Committee is now
holding hearings ON a bill which would
provide a total of 000,000,000 an
nually, for each of the first three
postwar years. as the Federal share
of highway program gagged to meet
highway needs and to assure large
measure of employment The present
bill, in the opinion of the County
Commissioners Association, does not
make definite provision for local
roads. In concluding his statement,
Mr.. Willard offered to provide the
Committee with d suggested amend
mcnt which would specifically include
local roads. The Committee requested
that the recommendation be sub
mittcd.
Congressman Beall, active member
of the Roads Committee of the House
and former Chairman of the Mary
land State Roads Commission, said
that it is most important when con
sidering any postwar road program
that the secondary or farm-to-markct
roads be made definite part of the
project and specific ALLEGATIONS be
made for any Federal funds for this
purpose.
