New Road Work Under Md Contract Here in 1955
The State Roads Commission announced 133000 dollars of new road work contracted in the first three months of 1955 as part of the 12 year 568 million dollar Maryland highway overhaul. Budget constraints and bond issues mean limited funds for the remaining 15 months, with construction awards forecast to dip. The report notes the program aims to 3,452 miles of new or rebuilt highways by year 12.

Soft Drink Bottler Fined As Tax Dodger
Joseph Eber Coons, a soft drink bottler and distributor at Hagerstown Maryland, was fined £5000 costs for evading Federal income taxes. He did not contest the charge. The government said he owes about $900 for three years plus penalties and interest totaling around $626,000 in back taxes, with time limits restricting further action for prior years. The defense claimed the business has been loss-making and that Coons only owned it, with contention over partnership in ownership.
