half as much as the grand total

Want an Appropriation for Monu-
msnt at North Point.-The members of the
Society of the War of 1872 have had drawn up
a bin which will be introduced in the present
Legislature for an appropriation of $4,000
towards the erection of monument at North
Point, Baltimore county, in commemoration
of the citizen soldiers who lost their lives
when the British made an unsuccessful at
tempt to land-Septemb IL, 1914.
According to the present arrangements Mr..
John Green member of the House from the
18th district, Baltimore county, in which dis
trict North Point is located, will introduce the
hill in the House, while Senator John s. Bid
olson will father like bill in the Senate.
The project is one that has been discussed
since September IL, 1889, when Jacob Houck,
of Baltimore county, ceded to the State one
acre of land at the Point to be used in erecting
monument to the cause of the soldiers who
fell in the battle. At that time the ceremony
of ceding the ground was made an impressive
one. ard, as the proposed bill recites, the Gov
ernor, the mayor of Baltimore. the judges of
the Court of Appeals, the judges of the Circuit
-Coqrt and the survivors met on the spot and
pledged themselves to have monument erec-
led in accordance with the wishes of the men,
beers of the society and donor of the ground.
The matter was more fully developed at the
session of the Legislature which met at An
napolis in 1896. The House passed the bill at
that session, hut it was killed in the Senate.
Governor Warfield was president of the society
at the time, and worked hard to have the ap-
preparation made. but was unsuccessful. The
society is of the opinion that the State has 9
duty to perform, since they accepted the ground
from the donor for the purpose OF the erection
of stone to mark the spot of the battle. and
they are prepared to make strong fight for the
bill atthe present session.

Annual Meeting of the Hartford Fire
Insurance Company.-The annual meeting
of this company was held in Belair a few days
ago. The report of the committee to examine
the report of the directors for the year ended
November 30, 1908, was submitted and the fol-
lowing recommendations contained in il
adopted:
The committee recommended that as the
present rate of premiums does not give sufi-
cieut income to meet the losses, as is shown by
the gradual absorption of the surplus, it sug-
gested that the rates should be increased. The
minimum on barns was raised to 10 per cent,
to take effect in 1905.
The committee recommended the appoint
ment of an inspector and reaffirmed the action
taken in that regard by the annual meeting OF
the members in 1908.
1t was recommended that directors be al
lowed per cent. commissions on new bust
ness.
A bylaw was adopted defining "blanket in
surance on contents
II was decided that whenever building shall
remain vacant for longer continuous period
than sixty DAYS, the insurance shall be void
pany a special vacancy permit. This not to
apply to farm buildings which are not used
for human habitation.
The president, with the approval of the ex-
ecutive committee, was authorized to employ
such agent or agents as he may deem neces-
sary to increase, facilitate and make more uni
form the business of the company, such agent
to have the powers of a director after having
given an approved bond in such form and
penalty as may be prescribed by the board of
directors, who shall fix the rate of compensa-
ton to be allowed such agent, and terminate
his agency at pleasure. With the report of the
committee is letter from Mr.. Richard Dallam,
president of the company. This letter gives
valuable data respecting the net income from
the different character of risks on buildings
that have been insured Mr.. Dallam also call
ed attention to the fact that four nominations
had been made for inspector all of which had
been rejected.
An election for officers resulted in the re-
election of Mr.. DaIlam for president, with the
following directors: Joseph B. Hanway James
W. Wilson, Luther s. Osborn, A. P. Silver,
William Webster, ]. Lawrence Mccormick,
Thomas A. Nelson, George A. Cairnes E. M.

tarv and treasurer and the following executive

The Need of Good Roads.-Governor
Smith, in his annual message to the Legisla-
ture, had the following to say on the good
roads subject:
sThe time has arrived which much greater
attention should be paid by the General As
sembly to the question of highway improve
ment. The people of the State generally are
demanding better system of roads than now
exists, and it is of the highest importance that
this demand be recognized The Geological
Survey has rendered great assistance in prepar-
ing plans and specifications for important
pieces of road work, and the value of the sur
vey has received a wide recognition. Numer-
Gus tests of the various road and paving ma
terials used upon county roads and city streets
have been made.
''The Maryland Geological Survey has ex-
tended its operations during the past two
years. More than two-thirds of the State has
now been surveyed, and the work is rapidly
progressing. Reports have lately been issued
on Cecil and Garrett counties. The report on
Garrett county is in much demand on account
of the description of large areas of Goa, still
left undeveloped. The folios of maps for Cal
vert and St. Mary's counties have also bten
issued and the accompanying reports are now
in preparation. Progress has also been made
in the preparation of reports on Hartford, Bal
timore, Kent and Prince Georges counties, and
preliminary work has been started on Worces-
ter, Somerset and Wicomico counties"

Ventilate the Street Cars.-A reform that
is badly needed is a systematic ventilation OF
the street cars, says the Baltimore Herald. Not
one street car in dozen is properly ventilated.
This is not the fault of the builders, for they
equip them with revolving windows which, II
put to the use for which they were intended,
will keep the interior of the cars supplied with
fresh air But these windows are seldom open.
Occasionally there is a car with one or two
open which is better than no ventilation at all
but insufficient when il is crowded.
1t is not uncommon to hear passengers COM
plain that riding on the cars gives them q
headache or a slight nausea Few persons re-
alize that this is due to the condition of the
air. As rule, conductors pay little attention
to such details as yentilating the cars. They
believe that their duty is discharged when they
have got the passengers on safely, collected the
fares and got them safely off.
are run all day without any ventilation other
than the opening and shutting OF the rear
door. They are constantly filled with heavy
strata of dead air, which, with the germs that
naturally congregate in such places. makes
street car riding sort OF necessary evil.

Worthington Valley, 18th District.-The
people of this district-in fact those of all the
outlaying districts-are watching with much
interest the contest for the appointment of
roads engineer to succeed Mr.. Crosby. Many
in this section would be pleased to see Mr..
George w. Arnold selected. He is Baltimore
county man and fills the bill in all particulars.
Mr.. Arnold has worked his way up from the
lowest round of the ladder and for this, as well
as for other reasons. he is worthy of recogni-
ton. He graduated at Franklin High School
and also at the Ohio University. as an engineer.
He is now a resident engineer on the b. d o.
Railroad and has strong endorsement from
the engineers department of that company
All things being equal we are among those
who think preference should be given to Bal
timore county man in this matter. In saying
this l mean no reflection upon Mr.. Crosby.
He was a capable officer and has taught our
people some things in road construction that
will be likely to profit them for years to come
The death of Mrs. Lydia Kick, beloved wife
of Mr.. Charles H. Hick, has not been men
toned in any of the newspapers. She died Of
consumption, after protracted illnesss, in her
3Sth wear, leaving five children, the youngest
about years old. Deceased was Miss Hare
and was the second wife of Mr.. Kick. Her
remains were inferred at Forest Baptist Church.
Some splendid ice has been harvested in this
section this winter and 1 think all have secured

thick. V. OBSERVER.
