Reassessment Returns Show
Large Increase

That the new assessment of property
in Maryland. made in accordance with
the provisions of the General Assembly
act passed at the last session of the
Legislature. will exceed 81, 600, 900, 900
is indicated by the first of the reports
from County Commissioners showing the
result of the work that has been in pro-
gress for the last year.
1t is roughly estimated that the in
crease will approach 40 per cent. and
that it will certainly exceed 80 per cent.
The figures for 1910 are 1886, 665. 067,
so that, figuring on a 40 per cent. in
crease, the taxable basis will be more
than 81, 100, OO0. 900.
In some of the counties property valu-
ations have increased considerably more
than others. 1t is understood from un-
official sources that the assessment for
Baltimore County will show an increase
of $50, 100000 and that Washington
County will report a $l0, 600. 900 increase.

Shad Plentiful in POCOmOke

Shad and herring fishermen of the
Pocomoke river are in the midst of their
busy season. The run of fish is greater
than ever known before. and the shad
are unusually fine and large. The prices
realized, considering the enormous num-
Der of fish taken, have been good and
the many engaged in the trade are find
ing the season profitable. This is espec-
tally true of those who do the greater
part of their fishing by drifting with
tow nets at night, method peculiarly
adapted to the Pocomoke river and which
connot be practiced in wide or shallow
rivers.

Commissioner, has been very active

MADE FREE ROAD
UNDER NEW LAW
Concord Turnpike Condemned
Under Senator EWlng'S
Statute

Condemnation of the Concord turn
pike, which this week was made a
free road, was expedited under law
passed by the recent Legislature at
the instance Of Senator Frank p. Ew-
inc of Brandywine and Christiana
hundred districts.
1t was one of the principal meas
ures introduced by Senator Ewing,
and he had the turnpike condemna-
tion in mind at the time.
Under the Ewing law any taxpayer
can begin condemnation proceedings
to have a toll road made free high
way. The resident judge appoints
commissioners without delay and the
commissioners must report their find
ing to the resident judge within two
weeks. It is by this time-saving
method of the Ewing law that the
Concord turnpike condemnation was
made by the Levy Court through its
attorney, Philip l., Garrett.
