MAYOR JAMES F. STRANGE.

Mayor Strange took personal in
terest in the County Home, visiting
it not only on board meeting days,
but on other occasions, when he
always took the men tobacco and
reading matter. He is known by every
inmate and beloved by them for his
great kindness to them, and his hu-
manitarian interest.
With Mayor Strange the Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals had
it's inception. Mayor Strange has
fondness for animals, and he took it
upon himself to stop drivers who were
mistreating horses on the streets, to
stop drivers who were driving lame
horses, and thus he began a good
work that grew to greater things
through the efforts and means of Mrs.
F. d. Berrien, wife of Lieutenant
Berrien, u. S. NJ, who organized the
S. P. c. A. When a very young man,
Mayor Strange entered politics, and
he was elected City Alderman from
the First Ward, where he at that time
resided. He served as Alderman for
six years, and was elected Mayor of
Annapolis in July, 1909, by $40 ma
jority. He was again elected Mayor
in 1911. and is one of the two Mayors
/ of Annapolis who were ever elected
two terms consecutively.
Excepting Former Mayor Douw,
Mayor Strange is the youngest Mayor
the city has ever had. He has made
a capable and efficient chief officer
of this municipality, and has served
| well and faithfully without partialitv
and without hypocrisy. During his
/ administration of municipal affairs
much good has been accomplished.
He began the fight for the city to
/ own its own water plant which is prac.
tically assured, and during his Alder
manic terms the great street improve.
ments were begun and finished, Mayor
| Strange, at that time, being chairman
of the Street Committee. Annapolis
today is one of the best-paved streets
in the country and has a system OF
drainage and sewerage that many
other cities, including Baltimore
would be glad to possess.
Mayor Strange favors the municipa
ownership of not only water but gas
When approached on the subject Of
what he. had done to have the city
own its own water plant, the Mayor
said: Il do not wish to be given any
undue credit in this matter. The mu
\ nieipal ownership of water was reall,
begun by Former Mayor Gordon H
Claude, who. today knows more abou
the water question, which he hai
made study for years, than any mar

From ten to fifteen teams this morn

which a lady was seated. The impact
broke a shaft of the buggy and the

JUDD AND BREWER
BUILDINGS JOINED

People have wondered lately at
seeing the Justices of the Supreme
Court passing in and out of the main
entrance to the Judd building, and
rot any more using the entrance to
the upper floor of the C. Brewer &
Co. building where the court Is tenn
porarily located. The reason Is
simply that, in connection with the
alterations the Bank of Hawaii is
making to the Judd building now
owned by it, a doorway with fire
proof doors has been made between
the Judd and the Brewer buildings al
the second floors. This enables all
having business or offices in the
Brewer building to use the Judd
building elevator, convenience that
the Brewer building does not have.
as it is only two-story structure.
