H. Canada has declared $500 bonus payable to United
States citizens who served in their armed forces during

tons, feel familiar with the veterans problems

Maryland, West Virginia Virginia and Pennsylvania
all have different weight laws for truckers If man in
Maryland has 2ton truck, licensed for 25000 lbs
weight he Will be arrested Tor overlooking as soon as he
enters of the three states mentioned above if he is
carrying capacity load. (and they aren't small fnes)
Pennsylvania will allow $4,000 lbs, West Virginia and V-
gna $4,000 lbs If Maryland road engineers feel that this
is Just weight for profit and weight that will not harm
roads then do why these bordering states
not recognize weight laws when trucks enter their
state why can't these states have the same law for truck
weights? We retail buyers have to pay for our
purchases that ucked in through these states since
the trucker can't haul much We pay because of
higher freight bill trucker dependent on his truck Tor
his living and why he should be III
jeopardy of fine for overlooking when travelling through
bordering states If elected to the House of Delegates
I'll if Governor can't meet with the Governors OF
these other states and have standard weight law worked

Along this same line, would like to add that recog-
nze the great value of Deep Creek Lake Garrett County
bringing in vacationsts and fishermen. feel bass
should be stocked there and feeder fish for them 1t
is my opinion that the Lake entitled to of return
from fishing license in the form of fish than what it has
been getting
The bridge at Kitzmler is a disgrace to the State
Roads Commission. AS it stands one-way wooden
base, 10000 h. capacity bridge it is practically useless
Truckers avoid the Ktzmer route to Route so from Oak
land and other thus deprivng Ktzmller of large
truck route and that business With Maryland spending
money roads than time in its history feel
they should build bridge at Kitzmier If elected to
the House of Delegates I'll the influence of office
for the State Roads Commission to have modern bridge
constructed there
1t has been stated that Maryland plans to spend
$100O00000 in Garrett and Alegany counties to develop
recreaona feel this money should be spent at
all of recreationa that the money going for
labor will be felt all of Garrett county With 81 million
being spent large of will for labor thus helping
to relieve unemployment, and then tourist
it will be felt entire county
This money has yet been appropriated and if elected
I'll my office to work for this appropriation.
Our County has a confusing way of nominating and.
eectng County Our election law should

candidates from the Commissioner District If elected
to the House of Delegates of the first bills will intro
