Gravel vs. Concrete. The latter road covers a disiance of sbout 3 miles and the county com- missioners had recommended it be con- structed of gravel, but the State roads cngineers were of the opinion it should be built of concrete. At the confer- ence it was agreed to build the road of macadam and complete approximately one and one-half miles of it this year A similar difference of opinion ex- sted over the Landover-Marlboro road, which the commissioners recommended be built of gravel. The roads com- mission, at the latest conference. agreed to this if the gravel is available and an investigation 10 ascertain if the gravel can be found is now being con- ducted. Important Link. This road is 12 miles long and an jmportant connecting link between the county seat and the upper part of Prince Georges. The State Roads Com- mission, which, as a rule, does not care to build gr 1 roads, as their upkeep is so much greater than con- crete roads, at first objected to using gravel for a surface of the Landover- Marlboro road. The commission also objected on the ground that it is its policy whenever a road is started of concrete to finish it with ‘the same material. and a small portion of the Landover road. from the Defense High- way to the grade crossing, has been in place more than & year. If built of concrete the road would only be ex- tended as far as Largo at present Considerable pressure was brought to bear. however, with the result that it now appears the road will be con- structed of gravel Present at Conference.

June 6.- Proprietors of roadside establishments in Prince Georges County which nom- inally would come under the terms of the new roadhouse law are deciding to curtai thelr dance programs rather than pay the $100 fee for a roadhouse license. Three men in the last two days have applied for information concerning the new licenses at the office of the county commissioners and upon being informed that they may hold public dances once a week without securing a license, but it they permit dancing more frequently they will have to obtain one, all have announced thelr intention of limiting dancing in their establishments to once a weck Those who have applied so far have all been owners of small businesses, who did not believe they would derive suf- ficient revenue from additional dance programs to justify their buying a road- house license. One of those who applied was the owner of a soft drink stand at Forest- ville, who now holds dances in the room back of the place on Wednesday nights He planned to arrange for dancing on Saturday nights also, but on being ad- Vised by M. Hampton Magruder, counsel to the board of county commissioners, that such a move would place his stand in the category of a roadhouse, as de- fined in the new law. decided to con- {inue with but one dance program a week G | The law defines a roadhouse as any restaurant, cafe, lunchroom. hotel. club or inn, operated for profit. where public dancing is permitted more than once a week. Considerable care was given to this definition by the county's dele gation in the recent Siate Legislature and an effort was made to have the en- tire bill so worded that it would rid the county of undesirable resorts while at the same time not impose undue hard- ships on legitimate refreshment bus ness or affect charitable institutio which give dances None of the larger and better known roadhouses in the county has so far made application for a license, it was said at the office of the county co missioners vesterday, although th must do so in time to advertise two weeks in advance of the hearing to be conducted by the commissioners on their applications on June 25 or be fined or discontinue operations CULPEPER MEMORIAL HOMECOMING AFFAIR Former Residents From and Washington Attend Con- federate Exercises.
