To Restore Mats
Morale Tonight
Indions Series Opens
After Loss to Chicago
Drops Club to Fifth
By Burton Hawkins

The Mats headed into the first
game of a series with Cleveland
tonight with their morale at low
ebb after last nights defeat by
the White Sox interrupted their
dream of third place.
Tommy Byrne, the Mats re-
cent addition from the White
Sox, will take the mound against
Mike Garcia. seeking an eighth
win. The clubs meet again to-
morrow night, play a single game
Sunday and a double-header
Monday in their five-game series
at Griffith Stadium.
The Mats stuck tentative toes
into third place last night, but
suddenly found the door closed
by the White Sox, who overcame
a two-run deficit with a six-run
splurge after one was out in
the ninth inning.
That uprising crushed the
Washington club, 8-4. and left
it a thoroughly disgruntled out

them who hadn't vacated the

runs in the eighth to grab a Al

Drop to Second Division.
The defeat also plopped the
Mats into the second division.
Entering the ninth inning, they
had every reason to believe they
would inherit third place within
a matter of minutes and that
notion gathered momentum when
Sonny Dixon famed Sam Mele.
Then the Mats and their lead
disintegrated. Shortstop Pete
Runnels fumbled Chico Carras-
quels grounder. Bud Sheely, bat
ting for Mike Fornieles, singled
off Mickey Vernon's glove. Mel
son Fox produced a run with
another single and Ferris Fain
doubled to center. scoring two
runs and elevating the White
SoX into a 5-4 lead.
That blow chased Dixon and
Fred Marsh welcomed Bob Por-
terfield with a blistering single
off Ed Yosts glove. Tom Wright
flied out, but Porterf1eld forced
across a run by walking Jim Ri
vera and Bob Wilson. Mele, up
for the second time in the inning,
singled across two runs before
Carrasquel kindly tapped back
to Porterf1eld.
Virgil Trucks, making his first
start since being traded by the
Browns, pitched great baseball
for seven innings. He had a one
hit shutout going into the seventh
and had given up six hits all told
when he was relieved by For
nieles after the Mats staged an
uprising In the eighth. The
Washington club entered that
inning trailing, 2 to i. when Gil
Coan batted for AL Sima and
tripled to left for his first hit of
the year.

present revenue sources. They
found that the present five-cents-
per gallon tax on gasoline most
important of those soWces) would
produce S505, 5000. The law re-
quires that Baltimore City be
given 30 per cent Of such revenues,
however, and that 20 per cent be
distributed among the counties.
Therefore the amount remaining to
builder rebuild State roads
would be $252, $50 900.
The present excise tax of two
per cent on motor vehicle title
transfers will bring i'm, the statis-
ticians estimate, approximately
$85, 100000 in the program period.
There is no division of money from
that source. 1t all goes to the con-
struction fund for State highways.
Finally, in counting up prospec-
tive revenue, the financial plan
ners estimated how much the State
road system would receive from the
Federal government. Each year
Uncle Sam gives every state money
to help build roads, and a part Of
each years contribution is desig-
mated for State highways. The
total that Maryland can expect to
be so designated during the l2-year
period is estimated at So, 100000.
The plan, then, begins with an
estimate Of 1882, 559, 900 from the
present gasoline tax, SS5,S00, 900
from the titling tax and $23 100000
from the Federal government-or
an overall total of 1891 $4,000.
That's what we can count on TAX
ing i'm for the construction fund in
those II years. But before me can
count up what we'll actually have
to spend on construction, however,
there are two important deductions
to be made.
The first is an item of $81,239,-
600 that will be needed, over the
12-year period, to meet principal
and-interest payments on an issue
of road bonds authorized in 1947.

Understanding Our
Highway System

Following is the fifth in
series of articles on the Mary
land highway system and the
12-year plan for improvement of
that system as recommended by
the State Roads Commission
and the Highway Advisory COun-
ell.
Being able to afford something
doesn't necessarily mean that you
have the money to pay for it in
your pocket, or i'm the bank. 1t may
simply mean that you know where
YOU can borrow the money and
know how you can pay it back,
When you do that, Of course, you
pay something for the use Of the
money. That adds a little to the
total cost Of what you're buying
But it also means you can get what
YOU need when you need it. If you
need it urgently enough the adj
vantages of immediate use Justify
the extra cost.
As far as our Maryland highway
system is concerned that's very
important consideration We have
immediate urgent need for the
rest Of those improvements out
lined in the l2-year program. We
will have equally urgent need for
the rest of those improvements by
the time they are built.
The cost of the improvements,
a> outlined in the preceding article,
will be $56S, 225 900 for the State
road system. Improvement needed
on the county roads may cost be-
tween $12O,O0O, 900 and Sl60, 000,-
GOO more. That's lot more money
than we will have available during
the II years that the program
covers. Still, we can afford it.,
There is way to borrow the
money, and a way to pay it back.
The State Roads Commission and
the Advisory Council, in addition
to appraising what we have in the
way Of a road system, determining
what we need to modelmize that
system, and estimating what it
will cost to do the job also have
prepared a plan that will enable us
to pay the bill. The plan has been
designed specifically for the State
road system-that 4,736 mile net
work of highways for which the
State Roads Commission is respon-
sible-but it will help the county
road system as well. The latter APP
plication will be explained farther
on in this article. Now let's see how
it works out for the State road
network only.
As their first step, those who
devised the plan estimated how
much money could be counted on
for construction of State roads dur
ing the l2-year period if no change
was made in the nature on rate of
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1953-01-15

a S24,O00,OO0 sum that might have
to be transferred from construction
funds to maintenance funds during
the l2-year period II present con-
dltlons were to continue here 5
the reason for that:
Under existing Maryland laws
road building and road maintenance
are regarded as totally separate
functions and the money for each
comes from a totally different
source. We've seen that construc-
tion funds come from gasoline
taxes, excise taxes on vehicle titles
and from Uncle Sam. Money for
maintenance comes only from the
motor vehicle revenue fund, Of
which annual license fees form the
biggest part. Like the gasoline tax
fund, the motor vehicle revenue
fund is divided by law, the State
getting half for maintenance of
its roads and the other half being
shared by Baltimore City and the
twenty-thrce counties.
The road bond issue authorized
in 1917 made possible an accelera-
ted program of State highway CON
st,,1ction but provided no addition
al source of revenue for main
tenance. It was recognized. how

Balance for con-

struction $500. $3.50, 900
The cost of the proposed i'm
provements adds up to $568, 225, 900
so the above balance leaves us
S311, $4,000 short of what we
need. To make up the difference
the financial plan suggested by the
State Roads Commission and the
Advisory Council provides for:
IA one-cent increase in the
gasoline tax.
"A higher scale of license fees
for all vehicles.
