Moffitt and T» Watson Tracey of Baltimore County, requested the Commission to consider the improvement of the Baltimore County end of the Black Rook Road under the State Ait Law, The Chairman stated that the matter would be taken up, and if it were the wish of the County Commissioners of Baltimore County, and sufficient funds out of the final allotment were available, the Blaok Rook Road would be constructed. A delegation from Harford County, with Kr. M. H. Fahey as spokesman, stated their desire to have the State Roads Commission put in good condition the road between Churchville and Belair, so that same might be taken over and maintained by the State. Mr. Shoemaker moved that the County Commissioners of Harford County be notified to the effect that the Commission has not the funds available with which to repair and reconstruct the Belair-Ohurohville Road, but that said road will be accepted, provided it is repaired and reconstructed to the satisfaction and under the supervision of the Commission, and the County reimbursed in the amount of $2,000., which is the utmost the Commission will be able to contribute, considering the available funds in Earford County. The motion was seconded by I£r. Hutton, and adopted. Roads to be Improved from Taneytown towards Westminster; at Frizzelburg ; and between Westminster and Manchester. Estimate of Holt Contn. Co. on Contract #054 to be paid. Compensation of 3. H. Taylor services on Poconoka City-Snow Hill Road.

On motion of Kr. Shoemaker, seconded by Mr. Hutton, it was agreed that of the available funds left upon contracting the section of road in Carroll County between Camber and the Fenby Pike, the balance will be divided between a section from Taneytown towards Westminster, a section at Frizzelburg, and a section between Westminster and Manchester.
