usual disbursements of monthly sala-
ries to the various county officials
and employees, so that the money
would be available for the holiday sea.

Incidentally, it seemed that nearly
everyone to whom the county was in.
debted for sundry work or other bills,
presented them for payment
Much time was taken up with the
passage of the various bills, hut even
aside from this, the Board found time
to take up several matters of improve
ments desired, or requested.
In the matter of the construction of
Priests bridge across the Patuxent
river, connecting Anne Arundel and
Prince Georges counties, Commission
ers Beard and Brown, and Engineer
Hayman were appointed committee
to wait upon the Commissioners of
Prince Georges county. The bridge
is in a very dilapidated condition,
and it is proposed to construct new
one, each county to shoulder halfthe
expense of same.
Messrs. Beard, Pettebone and Wal
ton, who were appointed a committee
at last weeks meeting to investi-
gate the question of placing in thor
ough repair the road south of East
port, leading to Annapolis Neck, for
which many petitions were presented
by citizens of the vicinity last week,
reported that they had gone over
the matter, and at present they are
waiting upon a report from the Coun-
ty Engineer.
The question of electric light for
Severna Park and in the vicinity of
Glen Burnie, for which petitions are
on file, was referred to Commissioners
Pettebone and Brown for a report.
Mr.. Robert Moss, accompanied by
Mr.. Parlett, were before the Board in
reference to securing an exemption
from taxation on the ice plant of the
Parlett & Parlett Company, in this
city. The matter was held under con-
sideration.
Dissatisfied at the extent of the
bills for expenses of running the
County Home, payment of same have
been held up and in the meantime said
bills will be audited.
1t was ordered that the county prop
erty bought at tax sales, be readver-
tised for sale to be held on January
9, 1912.
The Board took up informally the
question of the appointment of a
County Engineer, to succeed Mr.. E. T.
Hayman, whose resignation will be-
come effective the first of the year.
The several applications were gone
over, and the Board announced that
the Appointment will be made at next
weeks meeting, which will be held on
Wednesday, instead of Tuesday.
The Board rejected the bill of Chas.
E. Myers for $50 for extra services
as President of the Board of Super
visnrs of Elections, on the ground
that the law does not specify that the
President shall receive more compen.
