Commissioners Busy Day.

The regular weekly meeting of the
Beard Of County Comm issioDers for
Anne Arundel County was held today.
notwithstanding the snow many per
sons from the county drove many miles
to attend the meeting and to appear
before the b)ard on business matters.
Paul Iglehart, former engineer of
Baltimore city under Mayor Hayes
administration. appeared before the
board with Mr.. Lauer, of LaueF,
Hopper q Co. They held a consulta-
tion with the board in reference to
putting in a steam engine to work the
draw of Curtis creek bridge. The
draw nov requires the labor of four
men to manipulate il at an expense of
$40 per month. Messrs. Iglehart and
Lauer declare their engine will work
the draw at a minimum expense of
only 81 per month. The board will
take the matter under advisement.
Another matter TO which the board
had its attention called by a commit
tee from the Third district to the mat
ter in reference TO building a house
for the keeper at the draw. When t1e
draw was carried away last winter by
the ice, the small house that serves as
a shelter was also swept away. The
board suggested that a room be set
aside in the keepers house, but il was
argued that there is not sufficient ac-
commodation, besides it is too far
away TO enable the man TO get TO the
draw quickly in case of emergency
and when called. The board appoint
ed President Ridout and Commission
er Cook to have suitable h0use built
for the keeper near the draw.
The remainder of the morning ses-
sion was taken up with passing road
