Spa Greek Open

For the first time sinceT the heavy
freeze in middle December Spa creek
was today entirely open to navigation.
The large quantity of ice which it
contained has broken up and drifted
down stream and it is entirely free
today. the only evidence. of ithe severe
winter being small cakes of ice at va
rious points. During the course of
the freeze the ice froze TO the bottom
of the creek and in many places was
over twenty inches thick The tide
had but little effect upon it and for
that reason the ice remained at much
greater length of time than at points
where the tide movement was stronger

haul to Baltimore over the county roads
and another inland district (which can
not ship BY water, and therefore must
haul to Baltimore city or pay heavy
freight rates on the railroad. These three
districts would each contain over 400
voters fully as large as the average dis
tricts of the State Small community
government would beget local interest
and put many taxpayers OF each district
on their guard. Now the district is SO
large and distances are SO magnificent,
land ifyou havceyer travelled il on very
hot or cold day. you will agree with me
about the distances1, thai at one end Of
the district road work is planned and
completed beforelheresidents of the other
section hear of il. and there is no one to
protest II the taxpayers close TO Curt $
Bay want costly shelled roads 10 Baiti-
more city, they should have them, pro-
uided they pay for them, and. on the
other hand, If the taxpayers. of the ST.
Margaret's section determine that they
do not want such roads then they should
only ray for what they receive. This
division would not be unfair TO the other
districts. as each Of these districts would
be represented i'm the several party con-
ventions according to the actual vote
pollea. Then if in these smalleraiistricts
50 formed, the taxpayers We're, by Act
Of Assembly, permitted TO fix in the
month Of March their own road tax, and
fix the amount 10 be expended for ordi-
nary repair, and the amount for perma-
meet improvements each year, the road
question would become a local matter
and each district would have just such
rate as the. taxpayers saw TT to impose
upon themselves, each community thus
according TO its circumstances and situa-
ton, in this matter governing itself,
which is after all, the only government
worth darn.

WHAT THESE REDucTIoxs WOULD DO

This reduction would amount to Is
cents on the 800 and reduce the rate
from 6S cents to so cents on the one
hundred dollars and the general tax rate
would at once compare favorably with
any other county in the state and the
county would at once become desirable
locality for the investment of capital. |
am confident the rate for general puf-
poses can be reduced to 50cents and kept
at that figure, because in the Commits
sioners' fund there are two items not
likely to arise every year, namely $4,000
for repairsto Sweetsers Bridge and $1,000
for interest on county paper Besides
am confident that there il Included in
the Contingent Expense item, payments
that could be saved by proper legislation
These reductions could al be made

MIR. EDITOR.
Dear Sir:-The feeling is now gener-
al among the taxpayers of this county
that something must be done speedily
to reduce the tax rate. While this feel
ing is general throughout the county, in
Annapolis the burden has become I'M
bearable, for, added to the State, county
and school tax, we have city tax OF 81 90
on the 800, making the total tax 81 log
on each 800, tax that practically pro
hibits thoughtful investors from invest
ing their money in real estate. This tax
rate has created peculiar situation IN
this city. Any kind of an old house viii
bring whatever rent yous see Mt TO charge
for il; many families cannot obtain
homes and yet there is no one TO build
the necessary tenement houses although
we have plenty of vacant land. Just
without the city limits where taxes are
not so high many new houses are being
built.
Many good thinking people among our
taxpayers see and feel the evils we are
laboring under, and expect 10 remedy
them by catching some .thleying public
official stealing and by bringing him to
the bar of Justice. Now, it is safe to say
that this will not give the relief sought
They have been catching and Furnishing
thieves in New York city ever since the
DAYS of Tweed while taxes have steadily
increased. Besides it is safe to say that
in the main our public officials, county
and city, are honest, and are doing their
duty according to the laws governing
their respective offices. In my judge
ment what we need is radical changes In
our local laws relating to city and coun-

sHERIFFs PAY.
The sheriff's Act by which be receives

MAGISTRATES AND coNsTABLEs.
1t is hard to understand why exclusive
Jurisdiction of criminal offenses in the
second precinct of the Third district and
the first precinct of the Second district
has not been given to the police magis-
trates,of Annapolis. The legitimate fines
that would be imposed by these magis-
tTales would be at least 800 to the pre-
cinct which would be paid to the county
thereby reducing the annual cost of these
two magistrates and another $1,000 could
be saved in fees paid magistrates and
constables in these two precincts, by
having warrants served by the sheriff
and his deputies for which he is allowed
$4,000 under the present law. If tax
payer wants TO learn the evils of this sys-
tenn of fees it would be well for him to
count the number of warrants served by
the sheriff aud his deputies under the
present law and the number served by a
sheriff and his deputies under the old
system. He can also learn how little is
done by the deputy sheriffs for the $4,000.
| nave always been unable to understand
why the taxpayers of the County did not
years ago demand the annexation of
these two precincts to Annapolis city in
the matter of police criminal jurisdiction.
The present system has cost the taxpay-
ers OF the county large sums of money
every year, the poor people of both races
have been bounded to death by it, many
forced to travel longldistances TO answer
trumped up charges and what is worse
the system has actually ruined many of
the magistrates, deputy sheritfs and
constables engaged in administering their
peculiar style of justice, and indeed, not a
dollar of this money so received has bene-
tited single officer; yet introduce q bill
doing away with this eyilin the Mary
land Legislature and it would be opposed
by some taxpayers.

PUBLIC ROADS.
Government by County Commissioners
is failure, made so by our system Of
mending public roads This does not ap-
ply to the present board only. it has been
the case for years, then why not relegate
the whole system ~of mending roads to
the local districts by direct vote of the
taxpayers who would fix the amount to
be expended each year and select the
persons to do the work. There would
be no danger of negro domination in
this. Coiored taxpayers would form a
small minority of the taxpayers of any
district that could be formed With the
districts of small territory formed with a
view to local interests and situation, tax
payers would soon begin TO take an inter
est IN these matters, each taxpayer as he
voted for the road rate for his district
could tell at the same time what the rate
wodld increase his annual tax bill. The
change in the representation IN party
conventions would give every party man
an equal voice in his party government
and beget lively interest in public af
fairs which would be of great benefit to
the whole county.

Ambulance. Doctor Reserves for Acci-

The reception hospital at Coney Island
got word last night that a hundred people
had been injured by the collision Of stage
coach and a railroad train. AS soon as
possible the ambulance was sent with three
doctors. At the same time Capt. Dooley
Of the Coney Island police station hustled
his reserves to the scene in patrol wagon.
A stage coach, carrying chowder party
from Umer Park to Red Hook, had upset
at Seventy-third street and Twenty-third
avenue, but 1t hadn't come within many
blocks yof railroad train, and only four
of the passengers were injured. One OF
them had a sprained wrist; the others moth
ing worse than bruises.
When the policemen and doctors had
run down this tip another came to them from
Sixty eighth street and Eighteenth avenue.
It was another terrible stage coach catas-
trophe. Going there in hot haste the officers
found another chowder party stalled by
balky horse.
Thence the three doctors and eight police
men went post haste to Sheepshead Bay In
reponse to another fake alarm. During
their absence on the three trips the Coney
island police station was left without a
wagon. and three prisoners were taken
there in cabs.
