Oyster shells urged for Maryland road work on Eastern Shore
The Crisfield Times reports the Maryland State Road Roads Commission should use oyster shells for Eastern Shore roads to cut costs. Crushed stone bids showed wide price gaps per mile, with possible substitution if a surfactory material proves cheaper. Oyster shells are plentiful in tidewater towns including Crisfield and could meet the commission's needs. Settlement details follow on mail wreck compensation, land concerns rise, and a push for road material alternatives amid rising land values and consolidation trends.
