resulting in very sore hand for several days.

THE TowsOn Improvement Association
can do good thing by urging householders to
clean up about their premises. Nothing so
quickly attracts the eye of stranger as clean
town and then the comfort and pleasure that
such an one affords, to say nothing OF the SAM
tary advantages, are all TO be considered. Let
other towns in the county get move on in the
same direction. Doubtless there are plenty OF
them that need attention.
The Fullerton Permanent Loan Associa-
ton had a most prosperous year in 1907. Its

through bad investments. The membership
now numbers 243. Mr.. Alexander Mccormick
has been president and Mr.. Charles Brock
meyer. secretary of the association since its
organization.
Cut Off May be Built.-It is probable that
a bill to repeal the cuto act will be introduced
in the Legislature within few days. Should
this be done the Pennsylvania Railroad will no
longer have an excuse for not building new
depot in place of Union Station, on North
Charles street, Baltimore.
President McCrea, of the Pennsylvania, in
his letter to the stockholders of the Northern
Central Railway, stated that no new depot
could be built until the proposed freight cut off
is constructed around the city. 1t is now. pro
posed to ask for the repeal of the law prohibit
ing the construction of a cut off in a certain
prescribed area provided the company is will
ing to mark out a satisfactory line. The Bal
timore county representatives hope that il will
be possible to mark out route that will do
little damage to suburban property. With
this end in view they will seek to reach an
agreement with the railroad company as to
the route to be followed.
1t is suggested that the route most satisfac-
tory to the company and at the same time
least Objectionable to Baltimore county will be
to leave the main line of the Baltimore and PO-
tomac road near the Frederick road, pass
around the northwestern part of the city near
Walbrook and then run near the northern city
line and south of Roland Park. The line
would reach the Philadelphia. Baltimore and
Washington road near Stemmer's Run. As
part of this line would be in Baltimore city the
consent of the Mayor and City Council would
be necessary before any work could be done.
