Condemnation Proceedings.

In order to straighten the approach to
the western end of their new bridge at
Havre de Grace, the B. & o. railroad COM
pany was compelled to secure new rights
of way, and among others desired to OBJ
tain right of way through the cemetery OF
the St. James A. M. E. Church which
comprises about two acres 1.-The trustees OF
the Church, colored, demanded $4,000
therefor, deeming this only fair compen-
sation, to buy new ground and remove
the bodies, etc; but the company offered
them only $500 which was declined. and
condemnation proceedings were insti-
tuted. The jury in the case returned a
verdict of 5000 for the church trustees.

Grated Association of County Commits
sioners, has adopted the bill providing
for 4 reassessment and revaluation Of
property in the counties. The bill does
not affect Baltimore city. II will be
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Price, chairman Of the Finance Committee.
Because Baltimore city does not, come
under the provisions.of the bill some Of
the county members are objecting to it.
The bill contains So typewriter pages.
Governor Crothers will support the re-
assessment bill. Through its adoption it
is believed the taxable basis of the State
will be increased many millions of
dollars.
The Commissioners have also prepared
. bill amending the Shoemaker Road law
SO that the counties will be paid monthly
for the road work done under the law.
Under the present law the counties do
not receive the States part of the money

State Board OF Health Bulletin.

The State Board of Health has fur
nished figures indicating that the loss
from tuberculosis among wage. earning
males in the State Of Maryland amounts
to $I5,264, $50; among wage-earipg
females, So. FAC. 600; or total annual loss
to the State among wage.earners alone
from this single disease Of $24, 4o4, oIo.
The cost of the deaths of persons other
than wage earners cannot be calculated
in money, except with great difficulty,
but it must be considerable. The annual
cost to the State from typhoid fever some
what exceeds $1,000, ooo.- The cost of all
preventable diseases from the deaths of
wage earners alone is never less than
$50, ooo, 900 annually.
The principal agencies concerned in
combating this preventable loss are the
State Boards of Health and the local
boards of health throughout Maryland.
Considering the importance of the .func-
ton exercised by these health authorities,
the Commission finds that both the State
and local departments of health are given
extremely inadequate support and that
the local governments. with the excep-
ton Of Baltimore City, furnish very small
amounts to be expended on health
matters.
The annual appropriations of the State
Board Of health for 1908 and 1909
amounted TO $40. 900 distributed as fol.
lows: Tuberculosis, $1,000; infectious
diseases. $500; food and drink $4,000;
general expenses, $4,000 vital statistics,
81, 300; vinegar $500; salary of secretary,
81, 500; salary of medical assistant, ST 900;
salary of chemist, 1900.
In the opinion of the Commission
$50, 900 annually Gould be expended in
addition to the present appropriation,
greatly to the benefit of the people of this
State in further expanding the work of
the State Board of Health. Among the
States whose departments Of health yield
efficient service, Maryland probably
furnishes less support to its department
Of health than any other State.
The State of Florida having popula-
ton of less than half of that of Mary
land, appropriates over $50. 900 Annually.
The State of pennsylvania appropriated
in 1907 to its department of health
$a,o5e, 900. According to population, the
appropriation OF Maryland on this basis
would be $4S8. 800. The appropriation
forlthe Department of Health Of Penusyl-
vania was increased last year to over
| So. ooo, 900.

No Bids For Road Bonds.

No bids were received by the, Board of
Public works Tuesday for the State road
bonds, although the sale Of the bonds was
extensively advertised for several weeks.
The bonds bear interest at 355 per cent.

clined to sell the bonds for less than par,
and the members Of the board believe that
this announcement in the advertisement
stopped bids.

senting Charles Jurgens.
The first meeting, at which the club
was formed and the committee named,
took place at the Hotel Metropole. The
protest was discussed by Jurgens;
Munro. representing Taft & Pennoyer;
DIR. F. K. Fricke, II. F. Blood and Mar

to open Washington street to San Pablo
avenue would be to divert traffic from

statement attributed to Councilman A.

not been included in the assessment

would affect that street in the same

90 COLLEGIANS TO
Hold FOLK DANCES
Dancers to Tread Native Steps
of Norway, Russia, Scotland
and Other Nations

BERKELEY, July 23.-Winding in
and out in fantastic figures so stu
dents and teachers at the summer ses-
sion of the university today commenced
dress rehearsals on the basket bail
court for the first public presentation
on this coast of the famous folk dances
Wednesday night on the Hearst hall
court.
Although the costumes used for the
first time today are worn throughout
the series of national dances the folk
dancers themselves have enough of an
individual touch to tell what nation is
represented by the pleasing figures
danced either with or without music.
There is the Swedish weaving dance,
the Danish dance of greeting, the
chimes of Dunkirk, oxford minuet,
Spanish waltz, loot is dodt, bleking,
board walk, Cinderella and score of
other dances, besides the native steps
of Sweden, Norway. Germany, Den
mark, Scotland, Hnagary and Russia
The folk dances revive in a meas
ure the old square dances, but some
are individual or solitary efforts. while
others require for their execution the
entire group of dancers.
DR. Z. c. Beach of Los Angeles has
had charge of the university folk
dances at the summer session this
year, assisted by Mrs. Marian r.. Nor
gan. who has direct supervision over
the dancers.
The course given on the campus is
more extensive than that given last
year by Miss Tellulah le Conte and
her assistants, who instructed a class
of regular students in the steps of the
old Jances.

BERKELEY POLICE FORCE
TO TRY OUT HOUNDS
Two Valuable Dogs Loaned by
Depue May Be Purchased

BERKELEY, July 23.-F. H. Depue
of the state bureau of identification has
agreed to loan two valuable blood
hounds he has at his home in Larkspur
to Chief Vollmer for the purpose. of
trying them out here. If the animals
do the work that Vollmer thinks they
can do. the animals will probably be
purchased by the city at cost of $500
each.
With an area of about 10 square
miles, the present police force of about
27 men, divided into three shifts, is
not thought by Vo1lmer to be sur
ficient TO properly protect the city
from thugs.
He thinks that the dogs will be
especially valuable in cases of emer-
gency, such as the recent shooting af-
fair in which Policeman Frank Water
bury figured and narrowly escaped
death. and that the addition of the four
footed police to the department would
more than repay the cost of their pur-
chase and their board.
