Mr.. W. Varney, of the Baltimore
City Water Board, will Introduce a
resolution at the next meeting asking for
a survey of the lake at Loeb Raven to
determine what its boundary line would
be if the breast of the dam was raised
five feet. 1t Is estimated that this would
back the water very nearly five miles,
making the lake about twice as long as
it u.s. The City owns almost that much
land along the banks of the Gunpowder
and the rest can easily be condemned.
1t is stated that out of the 112 or
115 can manufactures which were alb
sorbcd by the American Can Company.

REYNOLDS Brothers. of Havre de Grace,
and ]. B. Hanway, of Joppa, both OF

ruent. These combinations can only be
possible under a government which
fosters trusts. The only way to fight
the aggregation of money Is to vote the
Democratic ticket.
Mr. George Archer, the newly elected
County Commissioner, took the oath OF
Office before County Clerk Forwood on
Monday and at once assumed the duties
of that place. His induction into public
life is under the most suspicious circum.
stances. In private life Mr.. Archer has
borne a most excellent record and his
tremendous majority over one Of the
most popular Republicans In the county
attests In tangible form how he Is regard
ed by his constituents. We feel sure that
the Democratic party willhave no reason
to- regret their wise choice. and that hi:
regime will be one that will rebound tc
the credit of the party that made hin
their standard bearer.
Mr.. William A. Durham, who retired
from the Board of County Commissioner
on Monday, carries with him an enviabl
record as a faithful officer. During tn
six years In which he has had prominen
say In the disbursement of considerable.
over half a million of dollars of tn
peoples funds, he has retained the conf
dence and respect of every taxpayer. HI
pleasant smile will be missed In the Com
missioners' room by the large number c
persons who had occasion to come in cor
tact with him In a business way. Harfor
county has had many faithful public SCI
wants, but none stand higher on the lis
than the retiring County Commissions
