Good roads and free libraries urged for Maryland towns
The Baltimore Sun notes Maryland's 1,190,000 population with 650,000 in incorporated towns. Growth since 1890 favors Baltimore city and counties, while rural and unincorporated areas show little or negative gains. Rural farming population seems to have decreased as people move to towns, attracted by city life. The piece calls for better roads and free libraries to revive country life and attract educated youth.

County road supervision reform eyed by Caroline officials
Two of Caroline county’s three commissioners urged taxpayers from all parts of the county to comment on a plan to cut the number of road supervisors. They argued a single qualified man per district with a strong crew could manage roads more efficiently, potentially lowering the tax rate. They called on residents to express their views promptly. William Woolsey of Harford died recently leaving 50,000 dollars for roads, with his sister’s donation adding to a county fundraising plan to match the sum for highways.
