Baltimore County Fair Notes.-The fair
for 1903 will begin one week from next Tues
day-September LIST.
The office of the society is now open in Tow
son in room in the rear of Rich's drug store.
1t is in charge of the secretary, Mr.. j. S. Nus
scar. Both phones.
The balloon that will go up every day of the
fair is the largest one i'll the country. 1t is 80
If you want catalogue of the fair address
postal to the secretary at Towson and he will
forward one by mail.
Mr.. Alexander Mccormick, who has been
president of the society several years and con-
nected with it almost since its organization
twenty-five years ago, was nominated at Tow
son on Monday for County Commissioner.
The fair grounds at Timonium never looked
as we'll as they do this year and everything
is in prime order for the coming big show.
You can't ride to the fair this year on cleo
trio cars, but it is hoped you will be able to do
so by the time the next fair comes around.
If all the candidates for Office in Baltimore
county attend the fair this year-and they'll
be pretty apt to do so daily-the amount of
"buzzing" the people will have to undergo
be from five to fifteen thousand present every
day for them to work on. That's some con-
ISOLATION at least.
Justice Charles Brockmeyer of the 14th dis
trict, who has for years been familiar figure
at the fair, is again assisting the secretary in
preparing the entry books.
Looking Into Road Fund Expenditure.
"A number of citizens of the 18th district are
not satisfied with the way in which the road
fund of that district is being expended. At a
recent meeting they designated Messrs. John
H. Richardson, Fred. Evans and William G.
Dorsey as a committee to make careful ex-
animation of the record of expenditures and
report the result In pursuance of this resolu-
ton Mr.. Evans has been at work in the Coun-
ty Commissioners Office going over the books.
The road commissioners of that district are
Christian Mutschler, John j. Dotterweich and
George Adams.
In Engineer Crosbys annual report it is
stated that in 1902 S13,033 was spent for labor
and 81, 1929 for material in constructing and
repairing roads. Besides this, s312.45 went to
road commissioners as salary, S104.75 was
spent for tools and 81, 309.07 was spent without
being classified, except as 'inseparable," which
was explained as meaning items not chargeable
to the above sources of expenditure or paid
without the engineers consent.
The engineer, in his report, called attention
to certain difficulties which rendered the work
of caring for the 18th district unnecessarily ex-
pensive. One is the custom of throwing re-
fuse in the Streets another is the lack of suita-
BILE machinery, and another is the absence of
a building law regulating building with regard
to street grades in Highlandtown and Canton.
