County Eyes Purchase of Boonsboro Turnpike Deal
Washington county Md commissioners in Hagerstown heard Raleigh Sherman speak for Boonsboro and Sharpsburg Turnpike Co outlining a sale of the line from Boonsboro to Shepherdstown. The stock pays 10 percent over three years plus substantial surpluses for improvements and the stock would sell at par. Stockholders view tolls as declining but expect the road to remain a dividend payer. The pike crosses Keedysville and links Boonsboro to Shepherdstown near Antietam Battlefield. The commissioners will decide.
