THE late Baltimore city grand JUROR
! at least some of its henderson Sundays
visited some of the resorts in this county
that are patronized every Sunday in summer
| by thousands of city people of a certain class.
The story that that jury, in its report, tells of
| what it saw is serious reflection on Balti-
more county. We copy part of the report in
| THE UNION today.
THE development of the Overlea proper
| ty, on the Belair road, is going forward rapidly
and many people are going out from Baltimore
to inspect it. The land lays high from the
west side of the road and the views obtained
from it are extended and beautiful Mr.. Chas.
w. Kennard, manager for the company, is on
the ground daily looking after the improve
ments that are being made. TO complete
these will cost about $50 000
$Tbe tournament and allday fete at the
Confederate Soldiers Home, Pikesville, on
Saturday last was in all respects successful.
Over 5000 people attended and the receipts
were large. The list of knights was an unusu-
ally long one, the liberal prizes in money be-
ing the attraction. The committee, in charge
of the affair, composed of Mr.. Harry A. De-
vries. chairman. and Messrs. VIM. B. Cockey
and G. L. Rogers, Jr., deserves much credit
for its success.
by the will of Mrs. Grace Ann Green
way of Baltimore, the children of her nephew,
the late George Brown, of Brook hardwood,
Baltimore county, receive comfortable legaces.
Mr.. Eugene Greenway, brother Of Mr.. Wilton
Greenway, of Baltimore county, who is a
nephew of Mrs. Greenway, is named as one of
her executors and is to receive 81, 900 in lieu of
commissions. He is also bequeathed SIS, 900
in cash and some of the household effects of
the deceased. The estate is a large one and
many relatives, servants, ETC., receive legacies.
A Glance at Some Baltimore County
Resorts. THE late Baltimore city grand
jury, in its report to the court, had the follow
ing reference to some of Baltimore county's
resorts"
"We paid several visits to the resorts in close
proximity to the city, and we found that some
of them, located at Westport, Curtis Bay and
Back River are drawing their victims, boys
and girls, from the city and debauching them.
| AT these resorts on Sundays the boys and girls
were congregated around tables drinking beer
I.
shows of u common character, and standing
around in one of these beer gardens were
county police officers who knew the law was
being violated, yet they made no effort to en-
force it. Gambling is also much in evidence.
Slot machines were being used pretty general
", which furnishes another illustration of the
laxity with which the law is being observed.
| At one place there were Is of these machines,
and around each one were from Is to 20 boys
and young men awaiting their turn at these in
iquitous devices. Electric Park comes in for
| share of condemnation, as there were at one
| time quite number of these machines, which
were well patronized.
at is crying shame that those in authority
permit such violation of the law to go I'M
needed, and every law-abiding and self-re-
| specting citizen should rise in their might and
show their disapproval of the fragrant disre-
gard of law and order"
