More New Buildings.

Thomas M. Lloyd. contractor, has been
awarded the contract to build for MIR.
Harry Elliott, on Jefferson street, three
two-story frame dwelling houses. One of
the buildings will contain eight rooms, the
other two being six-room dwellings,. The
eight-room dwelling will be an addition
10 Mr.. Elliott's store, at the corner of
West and Jefferson streets. This building
was at one time used as chapel by the
Presbyterian church. The work has been
begun and in few days the frame of
the buildings will be raised. This street
has been greatly improved in the past
few months, and il is rumored that a
number Of other buildings will be erected
in the near future. II was decided re-
Gently by the Court that Jefferson street
is within the city limits. If this be true
property owners will be required 10 pay
city taxes. This street is sadly in need OF
curb line, and little filling in, too. 1t
is to be hoped that the City Council will
give this street some improvement along
these lT&4 ,'pd that shortly.

Der Ist, and will continue until May Ist.
Already the owners of lungies and small

1t has always happened in the past
that early on the morning of September
Ist, the Aeetest OF the bay schooners darts
to a wharf at the foot of Calvert street,
Baltimore, with few hundred bushels
of oysters stored in the hold. The rivalry
among the oystermen in bringing to port
each year the first load of oysters is great.
Until cold weather sets in, however,
the oyster business is rather insignificant.
only enough being brought to port to
satisfy the existing demand. On Novem-
Der Ist the dredgers go to- work. Their
season closes on March 18th. Many OF
the captains of the vessels going to Balti-
more last season reported an unusual
number of small oysters, and for this
reason the dealers hope that the crop
this year will be bountful.
