Elkton Town Election

BY the provisions of the new law
governing town elections in Elkton, a
town election must be held on the 4th
Monday in May, of each year, at which
time a president and four commits
sioners are elected. At the election
this year the two commissioners re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
shall serve for two years and the
others for one year. Thereafter at
each annual election two commission
ers will be elected to serve for two
years. The president is elected for
two years and biennially thereafter.
No person can have his name plac-
ed on the ballot to be voted for who
shall not file with the Town Council
ten days prior to the date of the ele'-
tion, a certificate, stating for which
office he is a candidate and that he is
qualified for the office under the pro-
visions of the Act.
There must be a complete registra-
tion of the voters Of the town on May
Is and 10.
Owing to entanglements in the law
there has been no town election for
several years and the present town
commissioners have been "holding
over" under the provision which says
until their successors are duly elect
ed and qualified"

Ask To Change State Road

Cecil county highways caused more
trouble for the State Roads Commits
sion Thursday, when delegation from
Charlestown appeared to protest
against the projected change in route
by which that village will be left off
the main State road between Balti-
more and the North.
The Commission has planned to
save about $4,000 by cutting out a
big bend in the road, the shortening
of distance being little more than
mile.
William T. Warburton, of Elkton,
who headed the delegation, was asked
by Chairman Weller if he had not ad-
vocated the Perryville- Elkton route
for the State road instead of the Con-
owingo route, selected by the Croth-
ers commission, on the ground that it
was much shorter. Mr.. Warburton re-
piled that he had, and Mr.. Weller
asked whether he did not consider the
two cases parallel. Mr.. Warburton
said that the same question was in
volved, but that the amount to be
saved by skipping Charlestown' was
not large enough to justify the change
in route.

New Registration This Year

The State law requires new gen.
eral registration of voters in the coun-
ties this year. The last Legislature
sought to evade this requirement by
passing Bill postponing the time of
new registration until 1918. The
Governor has vetoed the Bill, on the
ground that there should be no fur
ther postponement of registration,
there having been no general regis
tration in the counties since 1896, the
Democrats having insisted on post
poning Sny new registration from
time to time, in spite of the claims of
Republicans that many names are on
the lists which should not be there.
