Albert C. to southern eek will be benefit is evidenced in a report which Gov. Ritchie has pre-. pared of the trip, a copy of which has been sent to the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association. The development of transportation facilities in southern Maryland is the keynote of the future extension of made in that territory. in connection with which the National Capital is bound to be a most substantial gainer. Gov. Ritchie says in his report: “The object of the trip which I recently made through the counties of Prince Georges, Charles and St. Marys, on which I was accompanied by a number of our state officials and a_representative body of Baltimore and Washington business mun, was to bring the state government, as ‘well as our commercial interests, into closer contact with the needs and problems of southern Maryland, par- ticularly with reference to transpor- tatisn. I feel that as a result of this trip a considerable amount of in- formation has been obtained which may be useful in working out plans for future development through trans- portation. Transportation Greatest Need. “The welfare of southern Mary- land, which is the portion of our state that includes the five counties of Prince Georges, Charles, St. Marys, Calvert and Anne Arundel, has long been a matter of first importance to the state authorities. “The great tidewater rivers, miles wide, and beautiful bays and crecks which empty into them, not only form natural avenues ~of - transportation, but also are sources of great wealth. The lower reaches of the Potomac river, bordering the shores of Charles and 8t. Marys counties, the Patuxent river for twenty miles from its mouth, and the various inlets of the Chesa- peake bay. form one of the richest oyster-producing sections in all the world. Market fizh of the finest qual- ity abound in them. “Southern Maryland has been known for nearly three centuries as s :|o- y, is_very evident that such industries cannot_ develop on_an extensive scale without fast and reliable transporta- tion to get these perishable products to market. “I am also informed that nearly all of the solls in soWthern Maryland be suitable for stands of alfalfa to be found any- where have been produced on the old soil of St. Marys and Charles counties, which have been farmed ocntinuously since the first settlements. It is a well known fact that wherever this king ps can be cessfully stock and dai can be developed profital again, southern Maryland has been at a great disadvantage in that its trans- portation has not been fast enough to make dairying practicable. It also is impossible to market dressed meats of any kind from this section in warm ‘weather use of the lack of any practicable method of refrigeration while in transit. This is a matter of grave concern, when it is remembered that southern Maryland is a large lucer of hogs, for which there is nsportation he hoof.
