Belair Road, 18th District.-The Belail
Road Permanent Protective and Improvement
Association held its semi-monthly meeting al
Gardenville school house, on Tuesday even
ing last. A large number of the members and
their friends were present and very interest
ing meeting was held. The various public i'm.
| provements that the association has under con-
sideration were thoroughly discussed. A let
! ter Will be sent to all the members of the asso.
citation and also athose of the Belair Road
Social and improvement Association, inviting
them to be present at the special meeting to be
held on Tuesday evening, September 9Th, at
the school house, when there will be business
OF the utmost importance to be acted upon.
The committee on Public Improvements called
upon the County Commissioners on Wednes-
day morning, August 9Th, and again requested
them to extend the new lights out the Belair
road to the end of the electric car line. They
were assured by two of the Commissioners
! that this would be done at an early date, if the
absent Commissioner would favor the matter
as they did themselves. We sincerely trust
that at the same time they will not overlook
the extension of the fire-alarm system, so that
this neighborhood will have some fire protec-
ton, which it is entirely without at present.

contest. Mr.. Harry s. Alt was there and, later
in the evening, acted as auctioneer for the
goods that were still on hand. He made such
earnest appeals to those present that they
could not resist his tempting offers, butjust had
! to part with their cash in exchange for the
many inviting articles that were sold. 1t was
a fine moonlight evening and just the kind of
anight for lawn fete. A large number of per-
sons were present, and good financial results
are assured.

1t strikes me as exceedingly bad policy to
hoard up the county's money in the banks
while such necessary work could be done at O
small outlay. The same thing applies to other

these, which are likely at any time. the coun-
ty might be put in for heavy damages.
