History of Emmitsburg Re
Gently Published.

There has recently been issued
from 1.-THE CITIZEN Press"
very interesting history of En-
mitsburg, with a prelude of his
tOrical facts about Frederick
County, and a romance entitled.
"Disaprointed, or the Recluse
of Huckle's Field,' by James A.
Holman, a well known resident
of that place, and seemingly well
qualified as narrator of events
past and gone that contributed
so much to make the lovely noun.
tain town what it is today.
In the preface Mr.. Holman
says "thls book makes no pre-
tentiOn to be classical. 1t merely
tells the time, circumstances and
the people connected with that
community" 1t starts with the
earliest records, as far back as
1884, and follows these people
as they cut the forest, till the
soil, built towns, make laws and
pass away. The personal history
Of the Emmett family is given as
whole and the only one, as due
the founder of the town. The
churches are historically spoken
of, and all the enterprises from
1885 until the present time are
given. Many of the old tomb
stone inscriptions are copied to
show the place of burial of tue
early settlers.
After giving mnch details of
the early settlement of Emmits-
burg and the laying out of the
town by Samuel Emmit, on Au-
gust 18th, 1885, the author then
goes on to tell of the character
of the early settlers, including
a history of the Emmit family the
various points of interest about
the town, when the tan yards,
grist mills, post Office, hotels,
drug stores, ETC., were first
started, and who has successfully
managed them. He tells also of
the old stage coaches and the
mails, the names Of the physi-
clans and merchants, dentists,
silver smiths, property owners,
the fire company, facts ahOut
the corporation, schools, news
papers and the old town pump.
AT the end of the book Of ia
pages there is a story of local
i interest.
Mr.. Holman has the book fol-
sale and he will gladly reply tC
any inquiries regarding it.

the Thames, the Council undertook to
connect the separated sides of the city
by means of free ferries. Woolwich is
congested point which cannot be adj
vantageously spanned by bridge, and
the free ferry which plies back and
forth at this point carries upwards of
six million passengers and half mil
lion vehicles q year. One of the great
est accomplishments of the Council was
that of boring tunnel under the river
at Blackwell to connect the two sides
of the city. The enterprise cost over
six million dollars, and at the time it
was built was the greatest shield-driven
tunnel ever constructed. Exclusive of
its approaches it is a mile long. Its dia-
meter measures twenty-four feet three
inches. 1t has road-bed and sidewalks
like city street, 50 that it can be
used by both pedestrians and vehicles.
1t is lighted by electricity. This first
tunnel was followed by a smaller one

old districts that were improperly laid
out 1t turns its attention to matters
of transportation and takes a lively in
terest in all sanitary questions. Num-
bered among its unique enterprises is
municipal boarding house where several
hundred dodgers occupy rooms at
rental Of one dollar per week. The cost
of meals is extra, the charges being five
cents for breakfast, eight cents for dim
ner, and six cents for supper Most or
the inmates of this strange hotel are
widowers with children, and the city
provides free nurses to look after the
motherless charges while the breadwln-
ners are absent at their work.
The housing department of the
County Council is one of the most ac-
tive branches of the organization.
Through it's agency the municipality
has become benevolent landlord on
an exceedingly large scale. The work
of Improvement has gone far beyond
the experimental stage of planting
few sample houses in the wilderness or
London sluIas 1t selects an area which
has become Objectionable on account or
the crowded and insanitary conditions,
RACES the houses to the ground, and puts
up modern apartments in their stead.
In one locality single tract of rocker
les were destroyed which sheltered 5,119
people The modern tenements erected
on the same site hold accommodations
for nearly the same number at slight
W increased rent The actual charges
for the new buildings are really not IN
excess of the former rental, but the re-
strictions in regard to crowding which
have been enforced require each family
to occupy more room.
SCOPE OF THE GREAT WORK.
The size of the living rooms in these
new tenements constructed by the
municipality is generally ten by SIX
teen feet, and the bed rooms are nine |
by twelve and half feet. three |
room apartment, furnished with modern !,
eonveniences, is rented for two dollars
a week, and the city realizes profit !
even at this low rent. The general plan
followed by the housing department is
to purchase outlying estates and nm
prove them. The largest deal that has
been put through by the municipality
CD to this time was the purchase of 30
acres which provided homes for 42,5oo
persons. Nearly ten million dollars
were expended on this one enterprise
alone When the various contracts now
under way are completed the city will
have provided clean and annie hvi"~
accommodations for over 100000 of its

poverty stricken inhabitants, which is
indeed most gratifying accomplish
ment.
The scope of this work does not stop
at merely putting roof over the heads
of the people. In retaining one large
slum district the Council remodeled the
entire street plan, installing fine asphalt
pavements radiating from a central
garden, bordered by twenty full-sized
city blocks. When completed this dis
trict contained 1000 living apartments,
several fine club rooms, central laur-
dry, eighteen store rooms, and seventy
seven work shops, all operated by the
municipality at prices lower than the
prevailing scale for such utilities. The
most satisfactory phase of the great
work being done by the London authori-
ties is that while they are providing
comforts and even luxuries not hereto
fore enjoyed by the class of people for
whom they are intended, the munich

other form of transportation hitherto
available.
There are thirty steamers in the fleet,
and the Council conceived the idea of
naming them after men whose lives had
had something to do with the Thames.
Each cabin eontaips a tablet bearing a
biographical sketch of the man for
whom the boat was named, so that
passengers may have the opportunity to
refresh their knowledge of local history.
The boats operate on fifteen minute
schedule from early morning until late
at night every day in the year. The
fares are graded from two TO ten cents,
with reduction for the round trip.
During certain hours every morning and
evening workingmen S tickets are sold
at two cent minimum for all dis
taneeS.

How a City Operates
Steamboats, and
Street Cars.

LONDON.-The most striking dem
onstration of the possibilities of public
ownership to be found anywhere in the
world is afforded by the extraordinary
transactions of the London County
Council. Through the agency of this
unique organization the City of London
has become the owner and operator of
steamboats,, street car lines, omnibuses
and ferries; it builds and rents store
rooms, dwelling houses and fats; it
builds theaters and promotes various
amusement enterprises; it provides play
grounds, toys and games for children,
and organizes excursions and pastimes
for adults While engaged in building
a row of city tenements several squares
long, at cost of millions of dollars,
its operations also include such sma l
enterprises as the management of side
walk flower stands and refreshment
booths
The educational bureau of the County
Council has provided aecomm odations
for all the children of school age in
London. No tuition is charged for these
schools, and all supplies, including text
books and stationery, are furnished
free. Further provision is made for
supplying free meals to poor children
and in furnishing conveyances for Grip
pied children. Included in the course
of physical training is school of in
struction in swimming, and every year
as many as $4,000 children are taught
the art of taking care of themselves in
the water. School savings banks have
been introduced, and there are now
about 125,00e Juvenile depositors in
these institutions
JACK OF ALL TRADES.
The London County Council goes into
any and every enterprise that concerns
the welfare of the whole people It's
activities extend even to the preserva-
ton of historic buildings. It also en-
cages in the work of identifying the
city, undertaking such tasks as building
parks, and cutting new streets through
