CONOWIN60 BRIDGE BILL.
Passes To Third Reading After
Amendment.

After long debate, during which the
three amendments proposed by the Ju-
dicial Proceedings Committee were adopt
ed and several amendments proposed by
Senator Lee and Senator Moore were also
tackled to it, the Conowingo bridge bill,
introduced by Senator Andrew, was
advanced to its third reading in the Senate
Friday.
Senator Andrew explained that the first
amendment offered by the committee. was
to strike out the provision for bond issue,
because the reduction ftom 500, 900 to
Sos 900 made this unnecessary. He also
called attention to the fact that the money
to be appropriated will come from the
State Treasury and not from the general
road fund.-
Senator Moore at once offered an
amendment TO further cut the amount
from Sos, 900 to $40, 900, and called atten-
ton to the statement made by Senator Lee
that the bridge had originally cost only
$4,000. This amendment and the cost
was opposed by Senator Andrew and
Senator Crothers, who claimed that the
$35, 900 related only to the replacing of
that section of the bridge which was
destroyed by fire year or two ago. This
$40, 600 amendment was lost and the
committee amendment adopted.
Senator Moore offered another amend
ment to the effect that the price should
come from the road allotment for Cecil
and Hartford counties. He called at
tention to the much similar situation in.
other counties of the State, where State
road systems are now broken by water
ways, and urged that Worcester and
Somerset would have as much right to
such an appropriation as Hartford and
Cecil. Senator Lee thought that as the
highway under discussion was main
highway that it would be unfair to Hartford
and Cecil to make them pay more than
one-quarter each of the cost, and offered
such substitute, for the Moore amend
ment, which was accepted by the Wor-
cester county Senator. At the end of the
discussion, the Lee amendment was
adopted by Senator Andrew, but on the
roll call forts adoption President German
and Senators Biddison, Stay and Sproesser
voted nay.
Several amendments were then offered
by Senator Lee, mostly of technical
nature, but one of which gave. the Com
mission the right to reject an award after
condemnation if the price fixed was
thought excessive and proceed to build
another bridge if necessary, and the bill
was ordered engrossed for third
reading.

third time proved fatal, and Kirk
Alexander and his son Alvin were found
dead in bed early Tuesday morning at
their home in Oxford. Both had been
dead for several hours, and the room was
filed with gas, escaping from jet turned
on full. The jet is in doorway, and it
is believed that in cropping around in the
dark one of the men turned the cock.
The theory of suicide is secuted. The
discovery was made by James McClurg,
boarder in the fiat where the Alexanders
lived. When he awakened about 6 o'clock
he detected the odor of gas. He tried to
get into the Alexander apartments, but
gaining no response, forced the window Of
their sleeping room. A rush. of gas pre-

Stop the Dangerous Bills.
EDITORS OF THE MIDLAND JoURNAL;

EDITORS OF The MIDLAND JOURNAL
Sirs:-As a citizen Gland owner, tax payer
and voter of Maryland, beg to call the
attention of my fellows to the two Bills lately,
presented to our state Legislature, to wit,
one to enlarge the power of the Youghiogheny
Power Company of Garrett County, SO as to
spread it over the whole State; the other the
Potomac Power Company. The first-men-
toned bill was introduced in the Senate by
Senator Henry ]. Spicker, the second to the
House. Taken together. the field and power
of the two companies will be, If the bills pass,
unlimited. save by the bounds of the United
States, and the companies will have the right
to take whatever lands, waters, buildings or
other property they may desire by condem-
nation; and If this condemnationis not subject
to appeal these corporations may confiscate
any mans home or other property they may
take fancy to on terms and at price wholly
suitable to themselves; hence all citizens Of
Maryland should at once inform their repre-
senatives at Annapolis to see to it that If the
said bills are passed the right Of each citizen
IN appeaf from the condemnation of his prop
erty should be firmly secured Without this
security the citizen is a slave to grasping
monopolies, his property liable to their con-
fiscatfon at any time; but hope my fellow
permit no bill to pass their Legislature con-
tanning an unappealable condemnation clause.

Demonstration Woodlot Forests

In order to promote by object lessons
the practice of forestry throughout the
State, the Board of Forestry makes an
offer to woodlot owners that should meet
with general approval. Under the plan
proposed anyone who is interested may
apply to the State Forester, Baltimore,
Maryland, for an examination of his wood
lot with view of making it one of the
model demonstration forests. The State
Forester will then examine itand if found
suitable for the purpose, plan of man
agement will be submitted to the owner
for his acceptance or rejection. There IS
no expense to the landowner on account
of the examination. If the plan is NUT
Iually satisfactory, work begins. The
general scheme is indicated by the follow
| ing extract from circular that has just
been issued
"Since the object of this work is to
demonstrate practical forestry in all of its
phases, the aim will be to treat each wood
lot in the most approved manner to secure
its greatest productiveness, thereby meet
| ing the needs of the owner and showing
his neighbors, who may be similarly
situated, what they can do for themselves.
The general plan will be for the forester
to outline the work in detail and to organ
| lie any SupCtlHlCuu H. WHICH, POSSAOiC.
Where Trimmings and improvement cut
| tings are to be made he will mark the
trees to be cut; where Gre lines are to be
CONSTRUCTED he will lay them ons; where
planting is to be undertaken he will locate
| the areas to be planted and recommend
the species of trees to be used and show
how the planting is to be done and so with
| all parts of the work that may be agreed
upon. The owner will be required to
| furnish all the labor that may be needed
and he will have full control Of the dispos-
al of the products from the woodlot and
receive all revenues derived therefrom.
In consideration of the advice and assist
ance given and in order that the woodlot
may serve its full purpose as demon
stration forest, the owner shall agree to
carry out in good faith the plans agreed
upon and to permit the State Forester to
give public demonstration of practical
forest operations, while the improvement
work is in progress and to publish such
results of the work from time to time as
he may think proper"
