discussion was the Shoemaker Road Law.
The host outlined the requirements of the
present law, and asked the views of the
club on the ACCESSIBILITY of the county
accepting state aid. The members
conceded in the view that as the law now
stands, its workings are not acceptable
and that it would be more satisfactory
for the commissioners to make their own
road improvements as they could have
control of the work.
Sometime Wednesday night, the Penn

exchanged and the unwelcome visitors

this lawlessness should be stopped.

Mr. Edward Davis, head clerk of the
Hotel Rennert Company, has been ap-
pointed resident manager of the Buena
Vista Springs Hotel. Mr.. Davis is one
of the coming hotel men of Baltimore
City. He started in the Rennert in
! humble position, and has by successive
steps worked himself up to his present
! high position. His courteous manners
and level head mark him for still higher
places in his profession. 1t is said that
hotel men are born and not made. We
believe that Mr. Davis is the natural pro-
duct, rounded out by Is years experience
in one of the best hotels in this country.
He has large acquaint anceship in Har-
ford who will be glad to learn of his pro-
motion.

taken, this amount could be materially
increased. Our farmers need to improve
