Delay on Road Blamed on City Action in Hagerstown Freighted by Federal Hold Up
Major Whitman of the State Roads Commission warned that a $222,000 Federal allotment for the western terminus of the Hagerstown to Frederick road will be delayed unless Hagerstown fulfills its share. Three miles of pavement exist from Antietam Creek to Beaver Creek. Hagerstown’s right‑of‑way cost is estimated around $325,000. Councilman Miller may urge the mayor and council to pledge the city’s portion, while Mayor Whitman eyed completion toward Myersville within two years if action is taken. The commission said the state’s highway program is now in better shape, reducing the risk of losing federal funds due to delays.
