Traffic PASSES Adore. Not
OUez. WebeE.,S PIG (rOSSipN

The recent opening of the over
pass at Weber's Crossing. south of
Oakland pictured above marks
another milestone in the history of
this section of Route PIG which
has been, through the years. both
controversial and tragic.
Agitation for a better road was
begun in 1911 with the circulation
of petition by various citizens TO
have the county build "a section
of macadam road about four miles
in length, running from the cor
porate limits of Oakland to Gort-
ncr." Under the terms of what was
known as the Shoemaker act Cof
The Maryland legis' aturel the State
would have paid half of the cost.
The petition apparently was ac-
cepted by authorities, for in Feb
ruary of 1918 team of surveyors
was sent here by the State to sur
Vcy the route from Oakland to-
wards Sunnyside
Here a controversy developed,
some believing a more feasible
route would be to extend Third
street Othe Monte Vista road in
stead of building an entirely new
right of way
Weber Site Selected
However, the advocates of the
new route won out, and in 1914 a
contract for construction of the
highway was awarded by the
County Commissioners to Echard
and Landon at price of Sl0168
per mile and S9,5l4 for stream
change and concrete work
But the proponents of the other
route died hard in May, 1914, an
injunction was filed against the
building of the alternate route,
with the aim of preventing the
commissioners and contractors
with proceeding with the work.
In spite of the efforts of the pc
TONERS attorney. r. T. SemmeS, of
Cumberland, the contractors pro-
cccded with the opening of stone
quarry and actual construction of
the roadway and railway crossing.
The petition was subsequently dis
missed Former Chief Judge
George Henderson. who sustained
a demurrer to the petition, gave
the petitioners ten days to file adj
ditional arguments, but none was
forthcoming
