Caroline County.

the State Highways Commission was to connect the County
Seat of the several Counties by the most direct routes; and

WHEREAS, There remains a gap of unimproved road 3 4/5
miles between Grove and Bureau, known as the River Road,
which if completed, would give a continuous improved high-
way from Cambridge to Denton several miles shorter than any
other route, and from Easton to Denton of about one-half the
distance now required to travel between these two towns over
any other improved highway; now, therefore,

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
the State Roads Commission are hereby authorized and
directed to make a survey and estimate of the cost of construc-
tion of the unimproved portion of public road in Caroline
County between Grove and Bureau, and file a copy of said
survey and estimate in their office for public inspection; the
cost of making such survey and estimate to be charged against
the allotment of State Road funds for Caroline County, in the
hands of the State Roads Commission.
