MARYLAND GRANITE FAVORED
Advocated by n Delegation for the
Baltimore Custom House.

Twenty-Five members OF the Maryland
Builders Exchange called on Mr.. H. A.
Taylor. Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Department. yesterday, and submit ted
reasons to him why Maryland granite
should be used in the construction Of the
new Baltimore Custom House, the con-
tract for the erection of which will be
given out the latter end of this week.
Representative +. c. Wachier of the
Third Maryland Congressional district
introduced the members of the exchange
Mr. Boyle, a prominent builder of the
Monumental City. explained TO the As
slstant Secretary the reasons why Mary
land granite should be used. He said the
strongest reason of all was that the
Maryland people want a Maryland pro-
duct to be used in 4 Maryland building.
He argued that Maryland granite was not
surpassed by any other in its chemical
and physical qualities. that it produces
finer polish, and is better suited for
carving purposes than the granite which
is proposed to be used by Mr.. Pierce of
New York.
Mr.. Taylor promised to do what Law in
his power.

concerning the sale of the Western Ma

I'VE would like to state that when the

the Western Maryland. we represent rail-
road interests other than those that
would be antagonistic to your city, which
interests would be more than pleased to
make proposition to your advantage

I'm acceptiong our proposition we can
assure you that it would put the Western
Maryland in the hands of parties who
would build up and improve the Western
Maryland rather than depreciate the
property or work in the interest of other
large properties running into your city"
Great interest is manifested in the
present proposition to sell the Western
Maryland. The interest is concentrated

ties behind Messrs. Hambleton & Co.
Against the Pennsylvania.
The sentiment is unanimous against
the Western Maryland passing into the
hands OF the Pennsylvania Railroad, the
desire being TO see the road maintained
as competing line.
The desirability of a sale OF the city's
interest is generally admitted, as it is
recognized that with continuation of
the present conditions the valuable fran
chise owned by the road will continue to
remain dormant because OF the lack OF
money to develop it

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Jan. 13.-Unless the
State police oyster navy is increased and
more vigorous measures adopted to pre-
vent the pirating of the choice oyster
bars. many of the best oyster grounds
will be ruined. The police schooners can
not catch the fleet crafts of the Illegal

needed. The pirate scrapers are making

York Avenue Property.

York Avenue Property.
Mr.. Charles ]. Ball has submitted to
the Commissioners a report upon the con-
dition Of the house drain between premi-
es 1211 and 1912 New York Avenue, which.
he says, has for long time afforded joint
service for the two houses.
Mr.. Ball states that the drain is In
very bad condition. and that it will have
to be replaced through considerable pro-
portion of its length. He says that it is
now proposed to substitute 5-inch cast
iron pipe for the present terracotta pipe.
Mr.. Ball states that the houses in ques-
tion are small two-story structures. and
that they do not constitute permanent i'm
provements OF the frontage named He
suggests that the condition of the prop
erty warrants an exception to the regu-
Iatons requiring a single drain for each
house.
This report was submitted upon the ap-
plication of Muclare & Barco. for Miss

1t over to the private collector. and the
process Of removal after leaving the
premises was without supervision. This
resulted in numerous complaints of the
reckless manner in which such material
was hauled through the streets, not only
because the latter were Uttered with
droppings. but also because the prin-
ciples of cleanliness were violated in
other ways. The average ash cart is a
affair, a patchwork OF wires
and odds and ends. disreputable in ap-
pearance and inefficient in service.
Furthermore. the material removed by
the private collector is not separated. and
the mixture, which includes paper and
other combustible waste that should be
hauled to the crematory and burned. is
placed on the public dumps and on va
cant lots. and becomes a serious nui-
sance by being blown over the streets or
burned on the dumps.

"a few years ago, when regulations
were promulgated requiring metal re-
ceptacles for garbage. great many peo-
pie objected, but later realized the I'M
portance of complying with the same, and
did SO; and it is believed that in the near
future the few who object to the ash
regulations will supply themselves with

President Easton, in commenting on the
year. says:
THE first seven months Of the year
were the most profitable in the history of
the company, and there was every reason
TO look forward to an extraordinary IA
yorable annual showing.
''For the five months from May l to
September 80 We were unable to meet the
requirements of the trade, and the year
ended with the results given.
THE net earnings of the year have
been arrived at after the ordinary writ
ings off for maintenance, experimental
work. depreciation, bad dssts incurred
during the year. etc.
In addition to the reduction of our
surplus by the payment of dividends
therefron1 to the extent OF about SAG. 900
we have deemed 1t good policy to make
at this time certain extraordinary writ
ings of from surplus TO the extent of
about $40 900. These writings off have no
relation TO the work of the year, and are,
therefore. not chargeable to the profits OF
the year.
Tho dividend requirements of the COM
pany at the s per cent rate were $3.50. 900,
and as the net profits were only STA .00O.
there was a deficit of $4,000 for the year.
This is the amount spoken Of by Presi
dent Easton as having been taken out OF
the surplus of the company.
No Mention of Dividend Matters.
The report makes no mention of the
fact that the company passed the dividend

no action has been taken by the direc-
