WANTS PROMISE KEPT ON MARYLAND ROAD FIGHT
McGill Belt of Frederick County says Chairman Weller cannot recall 1909 promises to build a Frederick to Montgomery line road. Belt argues the former commission chose a route to the county line and that the current commission must honor that pledge before altering the plan. The road, key for Frederick trade toward Montgomery and the District, spurred Belt’s 1910s bills to compel construction and purchase of the Buckeystown pike, which were defeated amid a broader legislative clash over state roads and loans.
