gin and then went to the point of ending on
the Joppa road.
The Commissioners were informed that
property owners have to go through private
property or drive 81 miles around to reach
built it would only be mile drive on a straight
line and would be great convenience to prop
erty owners of the neighborh0od as we'll as to
the public.

ers along the proposed road had signed an
agreement to deed to the county the land for
the purpose and also agreeing to turn over TO

A Towson Man "On the JOHN the
July number of The MIR Reporter. under the
head of " Philadelphia Notes. We find the fol-
lowing relating to a resident of Towson:
"G Howard Stirling, milk agent of the Bal
timore q Ohio R. r. Co., has for the past few
weeks been Studying the milk situation of
Philadelphia. He states that it seems mysti-
flying that the Baltimore q Ohio does not bring
more milk into Philadelphia daily Its lines
and be has. been talking with many dealers
throughout the city suggesting that they. get
their supply over that line. The Committee
on Transportation is glad to encourage an in
creased supply from any source and immedi-
ately wrote the gentleman letter calling his
attention to the abominable condition of the
milk platform at oath and Spruce streets and
urged that good platform be erected in place
of the old one. It is very likely that the Bal
timore & Ohio r. r. would be more popular
in this city with this improvement. A tele-
phone booth would also be an attractive fea-
ture. Spend a little money, b. d o., and see
your business grow"

and amid great applause, took the bay gelding
over the remaining jumps. Later, in the class
for hunters and jumpers, she received an ova-
ton as she piloted Algoma over the bars, Sc
