printed in Towson, in Baltimore County, setting forth the time
and place of said meeting and giving an oportunity to the
citizens to discuss the tentative plan reported by said engineer.
The said commission, after receiving said tentative plans and
reports and after the holding of said district meetings, shall
proceed to select such public highways, bridges and roads as
they shall determine shall be improved, located, constructed,
relocated and built in each election district under the provisions
of this Act, and may hold such hearing or hearings upon any
matter relating to such selection as they may deem necessary
