There We're fourteen fires in AL
Icgany county on Monday and two in
Garrett county which caused some
concern One fire burned ten acres in
Gliding some young timber, in the
Mt, Ncbo area north of Oakland. A

control and on Monday evening for
estry officials switched these workers
to another fire near Table Rock.
The woodlands had become very
dry due to the lack of rain. High
winds and a hot sun combined to
make the situation critical.

improvements For
Route 219 Considered

That two miles of improvement
would be done on u. S. route 219, in
the near future was assured by a
letter received this week by Senator
B. l. Gender from Governor Herbert
O'Conor, it was announced.
Work would be a part of the five
miles allocated over a period of three
years in the post war building pro-
gram throughout the state, which
specified improving and relocation of
roads where needed. The two mile
improvement probably would be made
from Oakland Northward
There has been some concern eX-
pressed by Oakland people recently
over the relocation of u. S. route 219
Surveys have been made which, if
carried out, would carry the route
north from Oakland on Third street,
going through the rear Of the John 7.
Mitchell property, joining with the
present route near the DeBerIy farm.
This survey calls for an overhead
bridge over the Baltimore and Ohio
on Third street, after which the high
way possibly would swing eastward
through the valley and connect with
the present route little south Of the
Weber Greenhouse.
Another survey would take the
highway south on Fourth street from
the Darby corner at the north edge
of town, running past the high school,
the Catholic and Methodist churches,
crossing the b. and O. at Fourth
street, continuing east until it joins
the present road near Weber's.
Nothing definite has been decided,
although petition is being circulated
in Oakland, signed by persons want
ing the route on Third street. U. S.
route 2I9 is considered AN important
north-south highway in the alI-over
highway picture, starting at Buffalo,
New York and continuing south to a
point in North Carolina.
The State Roads commission will
have the final say as to whether or
not there will be amy relocation or
whether the improvements will be
along the established route, now in
use for a number Of years.

vices at the doors Of the people will
be hampered unless the Federal

ing effort to extract the last potential
