Two VA Medical Clinics May Close in Maryland
Veterans Administration officials consider closing two clinics at Hagerstown and Cambridge despite a federal order delaying personnel dismissals.

The Deans Committee protested, saying VA's Gray broke a promise to consult them before any action. A chimney fire at 200 Maple Avenue prompted Junior engine and volunteers to extinguish a blaze with no damage reported.

Commission History Outlined By Mr McCain
Roads Commissioner Russell H. McCain of Frederick traced the Maryland State Roads Commission from its 1908 start tied to the State Geological Survey to its 1915 shift to an independent group. He noted about 459 miles of hard roads and 30 000 autos in Maryland, and said the first federal funding arrived in 1916. He cited Maryland as first to use concrete shoulders and described plans for a New England to South arterial link. The bay bridge project was touted as self sustaining and nearing completion.
