Automobile Club Calls Attention To Bad
Condition OF County Roads

In connection with the discus
sion of plans to take over the bridges
| Just now, that would relieve the tax
payers of some burdens of taxation,
the County Commissioners, at their
regular meeting on Tuesday, direct
ed the Clerk to advertise for bids for
the construction of / 1-2 miles of
State aid road in the Fifth district,
beginning at Shipley's station, and to
continue on near the Landing road
in that district, known as the old An
napolis Road, the work to be done in
accordance with the plan and specii-
cations on file in the office of the
County Commissioners, and the office
of the State Roads Commission, Bal
timore.
Other business transacted by the
Commissioners included the folio w
ing:
Y The Board passed an order provid-
ing that, because of the repairs to
the bridge across Spa creek, the draw
works shall not be opened before s
o'clock a. M, or between II O'Clock
noon and l p. M, and between and
6 o'clock p. m.
The Clerk was authorized to order
new assessment books for the new as
sessment of property that has been in
progress for the last few months.
4 The Board took up the mater of
appointing the county's man for the
Herring Bay guard boat of the State
police force, but deferred the appoint
meut until next Tuesday.
The Clerk was directed to send out
notice to all constabies in the several
districts that unless they proceed
with the collection of the dog license
tax, or kill all dogs for which licen-
ses have not been procured, the coun-
ty will enter suit against their bonds,
to cover the amount of losses incurred
by their neglect of duty. The county
has been iInpeiled to this action by
the many bills presented for damages
for losses to live stock, etc, by. dogs
running at large, and the apparent
negligence of the constable in collect
ing the tax, imposed by the Act of
the last Legislature.
The Board passed an order to the
T..
Yokel, who was appointed special
officer in the Third district temporar-
lily for the summer and early fall
months, will be continued after No
vember Is.
Acting in accordance with COM
munication from the Automobile Club
of Maryland, calling attention of the
county authorities to the bad condi-
tion Of the Solley road leading to
Waterford in the Third district, the
Board appointed Commissioner Petite
bone, Of that district, and County En-
gineer Hayman, as committee to
investigate the conditions.
The matter of the claim for dam
ages presented by Captain Deale, of
Traceys Landing, for the loss of a
quantity of oysters, was taken up for
a hearing, but owing to conflicting
statements, was held over for further
consideration. 1t appears that Cap
tain Deale, who is master of schoon-
er, proceeded to Baltimore with a
cargo of oysters for the market. He
claims that he was delayed in reach
ing his destination because of the
negligence of the kepeer of Tracey's
bridge, and that when he reached
Baltimore, it was found that his
oysters had spoiled and were ummar-
ketable. He, therefore, held the
county responsible for his loss.
At the hearing Tuesday the bridge
keeper claimed that Captain Deale
had not notified him of his desire to
get through the bridge.
Insolvencies were granted as fol-
lows: Louis H. Rehn, of Annapolis,
on the basis of $4,000, on account of
an error in transfer on the assess
ment books; John M. Brown, 81, 200,
on account of additional assessment;
estate of James d. Murray, Sc, 305,
on account of a duplicate increase
and error in transfer.
Receipts recorded included the fol-
lowing items: Justice w. y. X. Lee,
Second district, collection from fines,
S34, ,.25; Justice G.. r. Warfield,
Fifth district, same, Sc. A large
number of bills were passed.
