LeGore Bridge Now County
Property.
Frederick county now owns the LeGore
bridge. Monday and Tuesday the county
commissioners completed arrangements
to take over the bridge and roads which
have been a source of controversy for so
many years, and the deeds conveying
the property to the county have been re
corded in the Clerk’s office at the Court
House, after having been approved by
D, Princeton Buckey. attorney to the
commissioners.
The county gave five notes in payment
for the bridge and roads. The notes are
for $4,U00 each, and bear interest at four
and one-half per cent. They are payable
in 1917, 1918, 1919, 1920 and 1921.
The $20,000 represents all the money
the county will pay for the bridge. While
the purchase price as specified in the act
of assembly of 1916 requires a payment
of $50,000 to Mr. LeGore, yet $30,000 of
this money is paid by the State Roads
Commission, out of Frederick county s
portion of the State Aid Road Fund. The
State pays SIO,OOO down, SIO,OOO in 1917
and SIO,OOO in 1918. Frederick county
has not availed itself to any great ex
tent of the State Aid Road Fund, and in
stead of the portion due here now going
to other counties, it will be applied to
paying a portion of the LeGore roads
and bridge purchase price.

Bottle Caps For Nation.
Baltimore does not make all the cool

the sarsaparilla, beer, soda water
and many other summer thirst-quenchers
fresh and handy.
There left Baltimore city early Sunday

peared. Mr, Brenaman took Ricketts to

his hand.

pleasant to take and mild and gentle in
effect. Obtainable everywhere.
