Owen Examines Road

W.H. Owen, a civil engineer in the employ of the U.S. Government, was here last week to examine the road that leads from the National Cemetery to Antietam station. Mr. Owen’s object was to find out the width of the road, the facilities for macadamizing it, etc. Representative McComas is endeavoring to get Congress to make an appropriation for the purpose of putting the road in first-class condition. The distance is about one mile.
