Friendsville Wants
State to Take Care
Of Bear Creek Road

An attempt is to be made by
residents of Fricndsville and near
by areas to have the State Roads
commission of Maryland take over
the maintenance again of route SO,
from Friendsville to where it
meets U. S. rol:tc PIG, at Bear
Creek.
A trade was made some two
years ago with the County Com
missioncrS and the State Roads
commission, whereby the state
would take a portion of state route
SO, from Friendsville to Hoyes, in
return for the section of road of
route AZ. from Friendsvillc to
Bear Creek, which would be main
tanned by the County Roads de-
partment.
Some $50 school students and
some teachers travel over this road
every school day, and apparently
a number of the Friendsville citi-
zens are of the opinion that it is
not properly maintained. Paul De-
Witt, county roads supervisor, said
he had known nothing of the COM
plants. since not one resident of
that area had filed any objections
with him.
The County commissioners are
to be invited to a meeting of citi-
zenS of Accident and FriendSville.
scheduled for Thursday. February
e. at s p. NJ, in the FriendSville
elementary school cafeteria.
A news Story in The Republican
December 81. 1859, stated that the
State Roads commission had Of
ficially approved the transfer of a
portion of county route SO to the
states system, and Maryland route
AZ, from FI'iendsville to Bear
Creek, from the state system to
the county system.
Route 50 stretches from Scbold's
turn north of McHenry. to Friends
vile, a distance of 1855 miles. The
trade is for similar distance
from Friendsvillc TO U. S. PIG, at
Bear Greek
AT the time the state agreed to
reconstruct route 50 in the third
part of the 2O-yesr program. in lieu
Of reconstruction OF Maryland
route Az All maintenance funds
previously appropriated for route
AZ, we're TO be applied Oh route So.
The commission agreed to main
tain route IS as a normal main
tenance project and after recon-
struction it would continue As a
normal maintenance project.

Roads Engineer To
Check Salt Problem

That maintenance engineer for
the State Roads commission would
be in the county this week to talk
with people about the apparent ex-
cessive use of salt and abrasIves
on the roads during the snow sea-
son.
This word came from State Sen
ator Spencer w. Graham, who had
a talk with SRC officials last week.
Under discussion was a news ar
ticlc printed recently in most news
papers which showed that in the
three counties of Western Mary
land there had been a total of &c.
103 tons of chemicals and abraSiveS
used on the roads from October 2.
The state revealed it had spent
$303,8 1872 for snow removal during
the period, up to January 81, and
that there had been 47,855 man
hours and 1859 equipment hours
used in the process.
A number of local people have
maintained that the amount of
abrasives used on the roads is ex-
cessive.
Senator Graham said the roads
officials were confident something
satisfactory could be worked out.

Wants State Aid
Caring For Roads
Thru State Land
Senator Graham Feels Prog
ress Being Made On
Program

An attempt to make certain
county roads part of the state high
way system with maintenance and
supervision by the State Roads
commission, was undertaken by
State Senator Spencer w. Graham.
He introduced Senate Bill 229,
which includes that provision in
it, Senator Graham said his pur-
pose was to endeavor to relieve
the terrific financial burden which
the county has in maintaining the
local county roads which run
through some 76 miles of state
owned parks. He pointed out that
the State and Federal government
had taken out of the assessable
basis at least 10000 acres of land
and it was the unanimous opinion
of the county legislators and coun-
ty officials that the state was not
assuming its share of maintaining
these roads through this state and
federally owned property.
A meeting was held last week
in Senator Graham's office at
tended by officials of the State
Roads commission, A. BuScher
from the attorney generals office;
Bates Charles, roads engineer;
Joseph KayIor and II. c. Bucking-
ham, of the Department of State
Forests and Parks Also attend
ing we're Allen S. Paugh, H. d.
SwartZcntruber and Earl Opel,
county commissioners; Paul De-
Witt, maintenance engineer for
Garrett county roads; attorney
Lewis r. Jones, attorney to the
commissioners: and Delegates
Eliza Bray, Elwood Grove and Mrs.
Martha Glotfelty.
Senator Graham said that as a
result of the meeting he felt the
state officials we're impressed with
the soundness of the problem, and
felt they had been agreeable to
believing that more financial re-
sponsibility should be accepted by
the state to relieve Garrett county
taxpayers of this inequity.
Senator Graham said both the
State Roads commission and the
Department of Forests and Parks
were conducting a comprehensive
study of the problem and would
report their findings in the near
future to him. He said he felt a
great deal of progress was being
made.
