Motion to take over cor-tain roads in Baltimore County. Roads in Baltimore County. recommendations as to a special form of contract for city work, be referred to the Counsel to the Commission. The motion was secnded by Governor Crothers, aid adopted. Governor Crothers moved that blue-prints be completed for one or two miles of road in Cecil County, beginning at Oakwood and running towards Porter's ^ridge, and that the same be advertised at once. And that plans for other similar average sections be completed in four or five other counties of the State, in different sections, and as soon as blue-prints are prepared for same, that each of those sections be advertised. The motion was seconded by Dr. Clark, and adopted. Mr. Shoemaker moved that the agreement with the United Railways and Electric Company of Baltimore, in rejjard to the taking over of turnpikes, be approved,as amended, in accordance with the suggestions of the County Commissioners of Baltimore County. The motion was seconded by Governor Crothers and adopted. Mr. Shoemaker moved that the request of the County Commissioners of Baltimore County that Park Heights Avenue be taken over from Belvedere Avenue to the Caves Road, be complied with, on condition that the Board of County Commissioners of Baltimore County re-surface with tar or other material the entire length of it, according to the plans and specifications of the "Engineer of the Geological Survey. Dr. Clark seconded t/.e motion, '.vhich was adopted. I.:r. Shoemaker said: "While I elieve that the roads already selected in Baltimore County are all that, as the lav/ defines, 'can reasonably be expected to be corn, leted with the funds herein provided, ' I recognized that conditions could easily arise under which this proportionately limited mileage might work a serious injustice to Baltimore County. In view of this fact, and of the further fact that Baltimore County is the only county in the State that will contribute more than will be returned under the apportionment, and is the only County of the State whose roads are probably used more by the residents of Baltimore City than are the roads of all the other counties combined, I now move that, after the completion of the improvement of the roads already selected for Baltimore County, so far as the funds will permit, the following roads be taken over as State Roads and their improvement completed in the order named below: yYork Road: Towson to Marble Hill. Westport-Annapolis Road: English Consul's Residence to Sweetzer's Bridge / Harford Turnpike: Taylor Avenue to Cub Hill, vFalls Road: Mt. Washington to Joppa Road, vPhiladelphia Road: Herring Run to Golden Ring. Park Heights Avenue: Caves Road via Mantua Mills to Falls Road near Butler JYork Road: Marble Hill to Parkton. Cromwell's Bridge Road: Cub Hill to Unionvil.le. 1 Liberty Road: Buck's Lane to North Branch. vFalls Road: Butler to Black Rock. The motion was seconded by Dr. Clark, and adopted |
