Roads Body To Push
Huge Repair Program

The Maryland State Roads COM
mission has designated 10 projects,
four of them in Garrett county,
for urgent and immediate action"
in getting a running start on
Maryland's mammoth new high
way building program.
The commission hopes to be able
to ask contractors to bid on the
first of them in the next four or
five weeks. 1t hopes many of them
will be under contract by the first
of the year, the work at least under
way on same of them, and perhaps
few completed. William F.
Childs, Jr., chief engineer, has is
sued instructions for quick hand
ling of the projects.
The 70 projects contemplate the
overhauling of about 100 miles of
road, at an expected cost of about
% million dollars. The commission
already was at the advertised for
bids" stage or beyond on another
II projects in which another As
miles of highway will be built or
rebuilt for almost two millions.
Contracts have been awarded on
two projects with the work schcd-
ulcd to start almost any day. One
is the resurfacing of US. 40 in
Allegany county from Frostburg
west to the Garrett county line.
Projects listed for Garrett coun-
ty:
us. 219, resurfacing $50 miles
from Thayerville to Oakland, $215,-
600.
Maryland $50, widen to 20 feet
and resurface Paul Street in Loeb
Lynn, $31 900, and 22O miles from
there in an easterly direction,
$255,OOO.
Maryland SO, Modify curves,
widen to % feet and resurface the
3.24 miles from Deer Park to
Bloomington road, $375,OOO.
Maryland 1854, Modify curves,
widen to 20 feet and resurface the
? miles from Swanton east, $227,-
600.
Most of the urgent" rs are
relatively simple projects-the re-
surfacing, the widening, or the re-
surfacing and widening of exist
ing roads. They do not require
complicated engineering and in
volve few if any right-of-way
problems.
