Denton Rotary Appeals For Shorter Easton Route
Denton Rotarians and local businessmen urge completion of the shorter Denton Easton road before winter. A letter dated Aug 30 to the Maryland State Roads Commission cites delays in steel piling for the New Bridge over the Tuckahoe River, delaying access between Caroline and Talbot Counties.
