Business Census Is
Nearly Completed
Eighty Per Cent OF Wokr Is
Finished In This Area.

A major phase of the Census of
Business which has been underway
in HagerstoWn (and surrounding
counties) during the spring is nearly
completed, it was stated this week
by Langdon Backus, District Super
visor of the local Census Bureau
Office.
Eighty per cent of the four coun-
ties in Western Maryland-Freder-
lex, Washington, Allegany and Gar
rett-under the local district office,
have been covered by census emu
merators. The entire four counties
should be covered within the next
few weeks. With the principal ex-
ception of rural areas in the far
western portion of Maryland, Ger
tain business districts in Hagers-
town and the lower part Of Washing
ton County remain to be covered.
These have been Intentionally pass
ed over in order that some territory
might remain near the local office
in which new enumerators could be
trained if necessary. Nevertheless,
they will soon be visited.
The final visits by the enumerators
to each little side road and out-of-
the-way place of business do not,
however. mean the end of work for
the local Office. The census forms
left by enumerators with each bust
hess man have to undergo a pains
taking check before being sent to
Washington for final tabulation.
When an error has been made, a call
or personal visit must be paid to the
person who sent in the form.
If a form is lost or forgotten,
or is otherwise late in reaching the
Office. additional time and expense
are required to locate and account
for it. In fact the supervisor esti-
mates that as much time and ex-
pense are required to get in the last
ten per cent as were required for the
first fifty per cent. Cooperation by
the individual business man viii
result in finer, faster, and much
less expensive Census of Business.

To Rebuild 7~MiIe
Section Of Route 40

The State Roads Commission has
received five bids on their project
to build new seven-mile section
of U. S. Route 40 over Sideling Hill
Mountain, near the boundary line
of Washington and Allegany Coun-
ties.
This job, one of the largest in the
Commissions $4O,0O000O program
for 1949, was estimated by State
Roads Engineers to cost $2,035, 900.
The lowest of the five bids as read
today was $2,O90,212, submitted by
the M. ]. Grove Lime Company of
Lime Kiln, Maryland The other
bids ranged upward to high of ST.
$50, 1867.
The project will begin approx
mately half mile west of Little
Tonoloway Creek, and extend west
over Sideling Hill Mountain to a
point one half mile east of Belle
Grove.
Specifications for the project call
for 30-foot road for approximately
one-half mile where the right-of-
way is reasonably level. For the
rest of the distance, where the road
is climbing and descending Sideling
Hill Mountain, it will be built So
feet wide to provide two ascending
lanes and one for descending traffic.

ment of Air Mail pickup operations
by conventional passenger, mail and
express air service on Air Mail Route

Since 1889 this pickup service has
been maintained by All American

conventional airline operations.
With All American now mantoin-
ing regular passenger, mail and

Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Della

erations has come to an end.
Most of the pickup routes have
already been replaced by regular

last one (from Pittsburgh to James,
town and the intermediate commun-
ities) will be suspended.
To commemorate the winding up
of these temporary operations, spec
