Prince Rainier
TO Mark Birth
by New Tunnel.

MONTE CARLO, Monaco,
Mar. 8 P.-Prince Rainier an
nounced tonight he will cele-
brate the birth Of his second
child by breaking ground for q
2-mile tunnel to take Monaco's
only railroad underground.
The palace said the cere-
mony will take place only a few
days after Princess Grace. the
former actress Grace Kelly,
gives birth about March Is.
Smoke and noise from the
railroad, which runs between
the famed casino and the sea,
long have irritated Monte
Carlo residents.
The tunnel will be built over
the next three years and will
cost about $434 million, nine
tenths paid by Prince Rainier's
treasury and the rest by the
French railway system. It will
run from the Monaco station to
q point inside France near the
town of Roquerbrune- Cap-Mar-
tin.
The rock and earth removed
during the excavation will be
dumped into the sea to extend
Monaco's area, now half a
square mile. A sand beach
Monaco'S flrSt-will be built
to break the rocky coastline.
Palace sources let word out
that the new prince or princess
will get along on some hand
me-downs, just as many an
other second child.
Princess Grace and Prince
Rainier repeatedly have decided
the baby can get along fine
with the crib, scales and nurs-
cry used last year for Princess

passengers a new car and let
them drive to work.
The railroads also claim buses
and airlines get a huge adj
vantage from the Government
because they do not have to
construct their own airports or
highways or maintain them. as
the railroads must do with their
tracks.
Bus and plane operators
counter with the argument that
they pay heavy user taxes and
license fees.
Elimination Of the transport
tation tax also is advocated by
the railroads, as 1t is by other
forms of transportation. This
tax was reduced from is per
cent to 10 per cent in 1855.
Other tax relief also is
wanted by the roads. such as
fast tax writeoffs that would
enable them to depreciate their
equipment at faster than nor
NAL rates.
They also want legislation
permitting them to diversity
into other forms of transpor-
tation, q suggestion that has
met considerable opposition
from trucking interests.
Merger Proposed
Mr.. Symes proposed that the
Government purchase rolling
stock and then lease it to the
railroads. This, he says, would
aid the railroads because they
would not need as much capital
to modernize their equipment.
There also is greater interest

Editors Note: Mr. Friend is cor
rect in his statement that the State
Roads commission has long had
the power to acquire property by
condemnation. In recent years
this power has been supplemented
by legislation which permits i'm
mediate use of property by the
deposit of funds with the court.
We have never questioned the
legality of the action of the Roads
commission. However, we have
questioned the wisdom and good
Judgment of some of their actions.

Letter to the Editor
Editor, The Republican,

Editor, The Republican,
This letter has reference to the
several statements that have APP
peared in your paper about the
State Roads Commission.
The General Assembly granted
the State Roads Commission Emf
ncnt Domain for rights-of-way at
least fifty years ago. Later, about
1851, think. their power was ex-
tened, giving them the right to
go ahead with construction of
roads without waiting for con-
dcmnatiOn trial in court, provided
they deposited funds with the
court that may be required to pay
damages awarded to property
oWnlls through law suits in the
court The property owner always
has the right to seek higher dam
ages in the court than the State
Roads Commission offered him.
When the Twelve Year Roads
Program was enacted, about 1852
providing for expenditures Of well
over half billion dollars, to
modernize our State Roads, the
powers that had been granted long

Review of the Play
BY MARY JANE SCHUNCKE

For the first time in the cur
rent Playhouse season, the actors
all of them-the technical staff and
producer Gene Yell deserve the
applause on opening night in the
British comedy Miranda" by Peter
Blackmore. This enjoyable comedy
is perhaps better suited to tickle
the British sense of the absurd COM
bined with the real rather than the
American sense of the obvious and
much that is amusing in this play
to the Britisher would be lost to
the American.
This comedy is perhaps not top
flight, but the evening was made
extremely enjoyable by the excel
lent job of casting and the most
unified effort of the season on the
part of the whole staff of the Gar
rett County Playhouse.
Diana Wheeler, in her first APP
pearance of the season, was en-
chanting and entirely convincing
in the title role Of Miranda.
William Lang, who in succeeding
weeks has played parts that were
bit too old for him, was cast as
a young painter in this play. His
amusing Interpretation of the true
artist" gives him a better chance
to show his talent He seemed more
at ease in the part of Nigel and
exhibited a natural comic wit.
Much substance was given to
the comedy by William Pappas and
Helen Camp in the supporting
roles of Charles the chauffeur and
Nurse Cary. These two performers,
as the weeks go by, show amazing
versatility and to them go the
laurels of being the most thor
oughly British characters in the
play. They were both excellent.
DeAnn Mears again gave conf
dent and polished performance, but
still reminds one more of New
Yorker than anything else. Neil
Flanagan seems to have very
special talent for playing comical
husbands. In the role of Sir Paul
Marten, once more showed a
marvellous sense of comedy in a
part that gave him many amusing
opportunities to show off his
special talents.
Harvey Jean Peterson and 10
Ellen Briscoe, performing for the
first time this season, we're also
very good.
This play is perhaps better suited
for children than the two preceding
efforts Of the Playhouse.

Is Your Name
BRAY?

BRAY. an old and honored sur
name. is principally of English
origin. 1t admits of a few deriva-
tons. According to some autho-
rites on nomenclature, it was often
bestowed in medieval times upon
those having homes located on
the bray" or brow of hill. 1t is
said that it was applied to new
Corners in a community who came
from places by the name of Bray
in Berkshire County and Devonshire
Counties, England, and also in
France. In addition, it is stated that
Bray signifies brave man..
Asa Bray 1741-1815l and Daniel
Bray q751-1819) were captains re-
spectively in the Connecticut and
New Jersey troops during the Revo-
lutionary War.
The first census Of the United
States, taken in 1890, has a listing
of Joseph Bray who was resident
of Maryland and head of family
at that time. He lived in Baltimore
County. The census figures of the
same year for Massachusetts have
twenty-four listings of persons by
the name of Bray.
A genealogy of the descendants
of Thomas Bray (1604-169D, who
was born in England, settled in
Gloucester, Massachusetts about
the year 1850 and was the father
of nine children, was compiled by
George Burbank Sedgely of Farm
ington, Maine and published in
1928. There are a Bray Hill and a
Bray Street in Gloucester.
Thomas Joseph Bray Q867-1933
was president, Republic Iron and
Steel Company, Youngstown, Ohio.
William Crowell Bray 1879-1946)
was professor of chemistry at the
University of California.
John P. Bray 1859-191O was a
member of the U. S. Foreign
Service and served as U. S. Consul
at numerous places including
Melbourne, Australia and Singa-
pore.
James Oscar Bray, an educator
of note, is associate professor of
economics at the University of
Chicago.

before became more noticeable to
the public. Since then, many COM
munitieS have been disturbed by
what some people honestly feel is
an abuse of power by the State
Roads Commission. The effect of
such a law in action, where vast
sums of money are placed in the
hands of public officials to be eX-
pended very much as they see fit,
is just beginning to make our
people sit up and take notice. The
Twelve Year Roads Program seems
to be too large for efficient adj
miniStration. Then too, on some
roads, such as Route PIG where
there is participation by the Fed
eral Government, our State Roads
Commission must meet certain
federal requirements in order to
obtain the Government funds that
help to pay for the project
1t would seem that if cOndem-
nation powers are necessary for
any agency of our State Govern
ment they would be most feasible
and necessary in the procurement
of rightS-of-Way for roads. l be-
lieve that no other agency of the
State, except the State Roads Com
mission. ought to be empowered to
take private property for public
use and then, only, after proof OF
need Yet, there are many other
departments of our State Govern
ment that have such powers. l
think they are dangerous and
ought not to have been granted.
In 1856 the General Assembly
passed an Act amending the 1851
law, Powers of State Roads Com
mission. which amendment set up
property review boards in each
county. The members of these
boards are appointed by the Cir
cult Court judges. 1t is the func-
ton of these Boards to make APP
praisals of property and place a
value upon the damages sustained
by the property owners where
rights-of-Way are taken. This law
has not helped. The Roads Com
mission has paid little heed to the
values set by the local review
boards" 1t has apparently re-
suited in a more lengthy and eX-
pensive procedure. 1t has not
worked out in practice, and there
is strong sentiment in the Legisla-
ture for its repeal l had serious
doubts about its usefulness and |
voted against it.
