Taking the statistical report OF Car

United States should report an enroll
ment OF 33,OO0,0OO which would be

viii the Washington and Westminster
Turnpike be Bought !

On Saturday last Mr. John NJ
Tucker, chairman of the State Roads
Commission, appeared before the
County Commissioners in reference
to the purchase of the Washington
and Westminster Turnpike. He was
met by a number of the citizens Of
Westminster and its vicinity, and was
requested to see MIR. Albaugh, who
controls the situation, and endeavor
to purchase it. This he did with the
County Commissioners.
The Road Commission had decided
to offer Mr.. Albaugh Nine Thousand
Dollars for the pike and he declined
to accept it, unless it would at the
same time purchase the Baltimore and
Reisterstown Turnpike in Carroll
county. Later in the day the County
Commissioners decided that the two
propositions should not be connected,
and sent the following letter to the
Road Commission.
March 4th, 1911.
State Roads Commission,
John M. Tucker, Esq, Chairman,
Baltimore, Md.
Dear Sir =
The County Commissioners of Car
roll county are willing that the Wash
lnSlOn anu westminster urn pike
Company be paid the sum of nine
thousand dollars for it's two and four
fifth miles of turnpike and If that
offer be not accepted promptly then
the Road Commissioners should pro
ceed at once to condemn.
This Board declines to consider AZ
connected with the purchase of said
turnpike any proposition looking to
the purchase of the Baltimore and
Reisterstown Turnpike; but this Board
is willing to consider the purchase
of the latter as a separate and dis
tinct proposition entirely disconnect-
ed with the purchase of the said
Washington and Westminster Turn
pike.
by order of the Board,
GEO. wv. BROWN,
President
IT il expected that something will
be accomplished in this matter short
ly, but SO far nothing definite has
been heard from the Road Commits
sion. The Washington and Westmins-
ter Turnpike is not in good repair and
is apparently standing in the way Of
the Road Commission giving out the
contract for building the road from
it to Gambler.

Prize Fighting IS A
PROFITABLE BUSINESS
MESSRS. MORRIS AND FLYNN
WILL GET A CUT AT $4,000
FOR ToNIcHT's SCRAP.

New York, Sept. 15.-The first i'm
portant battle of heayywebghts in
New York since the days of the old
Horton boxing law will take place
at Madison Square Garden tonight,
when Carl Morris of Sapulpa, Okla,
meets Fireman Jim Flynn.
Interest in the fight is shown by
the high price and big sale OF tickets
and the army of sporting men here
from all over the country to see the
contest. A whole trainload of Okla
homans arrived today with their
pockets full of Morris. money and
started the first real betting. Odds
in Morris home, they said, favored
him two to one. Hitherto practi-
cally no money has been wagered on
the battle, mainly because the Okla
homa giant is an unknown quantity
in the east.
Flynn is fighter of ten years ex-
perience who has met nearly all the
big heavyweights, including Jack
Johnson. His experience and gener-
alship are expected to offset Morris
tremendous advantage in weight and
reach. Morris weighs $50 pounds and
Flynn 1870.
Top gallery seats were entirely sold
today for SO, prices ranging up to $40
for the ringside boxes. The bout is
expected to net about $4,000.
