DEFECTIVE ARMOR PLATES
Conference Over The Question Whether
The Government Shall Pay For
Them

Representatives OF the Midvale
Steel Company and the New York
Shipbulding Company at Camden,
N. j.. conferred yesterday with the
legal officers of the Navy Department
in regard to the question of payment
for several armor plates on the bat
tleship North Dakota and Utah, which
developed "spalls, or blisters.
This is comparatively unimportant
defect, which does not in any way
affect the fighting efficiency of the
vessel. In order to insure the integ-
rity of the defensive armor, however.
il is the practice of the Department
to remove "spalled" plates and put
on perfect ones. The question before
the Department is whether the man
ufacturer or the Government shall pay
for the rejected plates. The total
sum involved is only few thousand
dollars.
The defective armor plates on the
North Dakota were repaired about
eight months ago. She is attached
TO the Atlantic fleet and is now at
Boston. The Utah is under construc-
tion at the yards of the New York
Shipbuilding Company at Camden,
N. ]. The fact that the Utah had
defective plates was not disclosed un-
til the conference yesterday. They
will be replacd, however, before she
is placed in commission.
According to ordinance officers
"spalIs" are an unimportant defect
which sometimes develop in an ap-
parently perfect armor plate after it
has been set in its proper place on
the vessel.

WHY NOT BAY RIDGE?
Another Valuable Site For Building Lois
In The County

Some time ago there appeared in
the newspapers the news of the sale
of Round Bay for building lots, at
which time the statement was made
it was the last piece of land in the
Severn available for building lots.
This is probably true, but there are
other available building lots on site
equally, if not more attractive. Bay
Ridge is one of the most beautiful and
most picturesque sites in the county
near Annapolis.
It's owners could easily divide the
property in building lots, the site be-
ing the most attractive and desirable
for cottages in the county. The ground
is elevated and commands a beautiful
outlook of the Bay. Why it is per-
mitted to remain idle and grow up in
weeds,is a mystery.

ARGUE SCHOOL CASE JULY II
MAY Be Forced To Elect Women Com
missiOners At Annapolis

The Circuit Court has fixed July
IL as the date on or before which the
Anne Arundel School Commissioners
must answer the petition for man
damus laid against them Wednesday BY
Robert Moss and other citizens OF
Annapolis in regard to the school con
troversy.
The petitioners seek to have the
Commissioners appoint six trustees
of the Annapolis public school-three
male and three female-instead OF
three, as has been done. The board
stands upon the ruling of the State
Board of Education, which held that
the former law under which six trus.
tees were named has since been
amended, and is therefore invalid.
This construction had the effect of re-
moving the women trustees.

It is interesting to add here that not
only has this cable been laid, but ad-
ditional wires have been run to the
terminals of this cable from points in
the southern part of the Eastern
Snore peninsula and from Baltimore
and Annapolis to the other end. Also,
the Telephone Company has spent
considerable money in running addi-
