Highlandtown Citizens Wide Awake
At meeting of the Highlandtown and Vicini-
ty Improvement Association held at Rescue
Hall, Tuesday night, the alleged deplorabIe
condition of some of the streets of the town
was discussed, and a committee of nine was
appointed to take the matter before the County
Commissioners. Mr. John HiltZ presided, and
Mr.. J. E. Ray was secretary.
The condition of Eighth street. above East
ern avenue came up for the larger part of the
discussion. This thoroughfare is traversed by
the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
and the United Electric Railways, and while
it has been declared by the County Commits
sioners public highway, there is a diversity
of opinion as to who should bear the expense
of repairs. The county appears to be ready
to do its share, but the railway interests have
so far refused to cooperate. 1t is the object OF
the association to endeavor to get the County
Commissioners to stand their share OF the ex-
pense.
Other streets mentioned as needing repairs
are Clinton street. north of Fait avenue; Bank
street east of Fifth street, and Seventh street,
north of Bank street.
The committee will also inquire why the
street signs, so long promised by Road Com
missioner Dotterweich, have not been put in
place.
The question of slot machines came up for
considerable discussion, and it is said to be the
intention of the association to give every aid
to the suppression of this evil in Highland
town and Canton. The attorney for the asso-
citation, Mr.. John H. Richardson, was 1nstruc-
ted to file an application to the court at Tow
son for the revocation of the license of Louis
Smith, saloon-keeper on Eastern avenue
near the car barn. Smiths place was raided
Sunday night and number of arrests made,
mostly of colored men, for gambling and dis
orderly conduct. Attorney Richardson stated
that this will be test case to determine
whether the court has the power, under ex-
isting conditions, to revoke license
Exciting Encounter With a Shark
Frederick Gross, member of the Harmony
Fishing and Pleasure Club had an exciting
experience last Thursday evening while assist
ing other members in drawing seine at the
clubs shore, near Brooklyn, Anne Arundel
county. A 10-foot shark broke the net and
made Mr.. Gross scamper landward, besides
causing the loss of big mess OF fish. Mr..
Gross was stationed on the outside of the seine,
and was engaged in beating the water. The
net had almost been landed when the shark
made dash for liberty and broke through.
The big fish passed very close to Mr.. Gross.
He made no attempt to scare the shark back,
but dropped the seine and made haste in get
| ting out of the water.-BdltimOre San.
