THEY COULDN'T GET ACROSS.
WAGONS ARE DETAINED ON
OTHER SIDE.
More Suits Are Threatened Against
The County For Lack of
Conveyance.

There was great indignation ex
pressed this morning by the truckers
Of the Third district when they reach.
ed the Severn ferry with their teams
loaded with truck for market TO find
the little naptha launch that pulls the
scow ferry across the Severn would
not work. Some with perishable truck
employed private conveyance TO get
across, while others had to haul their
load back home again.
One party said this morning the
same trouble occurred one day last
week, when florist who had a lot of
cut flowers and peTislIable plants,
could not get over and il was late in
the day before he could get across, and
the party Tor whom the flowers were
intended refused to take them because
they had made other arrangements
The florist claims his loss on the
days sale amounted to over $40. and
he threatens to sue the county On
this occasion the contractor of the
ferry claimed that the water was too
rough for his naphtha launch TO navi-
gate, and he was compelled to sus.
pend operation, and the people who
had come TO the ferry TO get over
some who had TO make the train for
Baltimore and Washington on busi-
ness, to say nothing of those whn at
tend market, were compelled to Ieirace
their steps.
Some few got private conveyance
across and those with vehicles who
had TO turn back were not sparing in
their language in expressing their in
dignation for those in authority for
their apparent neglect of duty to the
taxpayers of that section. So great is
the indignation expressed by some of
the truckers it is said a committee of
the most prominent citizens will go
before the present grand jury and ask
for an investigation of this ferry bus
iness and the County Commissioners.
A number of prominent citizens of
the Third district have been urged
by the truckers of that section to see
what arrangement could be made for
securing the services of a tug or
small steamer for their convenience,
and to ask the County Commissioners
TO give them the guaranteed appro-
prlation OF SIS per day they are now
paying the present arrangement, and
they will assume all responsibility.

When asked of good old Democrat
this morning how far he had walked
to put the present board in office he
replied "I walked over five miles,
but would walk to h and back to
put them out He thought the
present board of commissioners the
most expensive board the taxpayers
had ever elected. In less than-a year
he said, their advisory counsel had
gotten them into law. suit after law
suit and the end was not yet. He
cited the case of the horse breaking
its leg in a rotten bridge, through the
neglect of the road supervisors, which
cost the county some 81, 500. He was
severe on their present
of the Severn ferry, and
thought the whole board ought to be
indicted by the present grand jury.

Was Robbery His Motive ?

The police are on the lookout today
for young white man who aecosted
at least three young women at differ
