A CITY ORDNANCE VIOLATED.
4 Free-for- AI-Go-As- YOu-P Please
Automobile Affair, Law Or No

Some time ago the city authorities
passed an ordinance regulating traffic,
and requiring all vehicles to stop with
right wheels to the curb. This ordi-
nance was violated boldly, fiagrantly,
ii not msliciously, last night by q
number of vehicles going to the Gov
ernor's reception and coming there
from.
There was no "tratiic squad" sta
toned on the stree ct Near the entrance
to the Government House, and auto.
mobiles violated the city ordinance
ruthlessly. Several accidents were
narrowly averted. Carriages and
automobiles which went right drove
around Church Circle by the South
gate Memorial fountain, down
College Ave, entering Bladen street
opposite the Court of Appeals
Building, thus having right wheels
to the curb.
But there were others. These were
numerous and entered Bladen street
from opposite the State House annex
This made these vehicles have their
left wheel to the curb. la this way
great blazing lights of automobiles
shone in the eyes Of horses, brighten
ing them, and causing occupants of
carriages to fear for their lives.
If there is a traffic ordinance it
should be enforced, and patrolmeu on
such occasions should be there to see
it enforced.

Senator Watkins Wants Govern

AFTER ALL, WHY MOI?
Besides Armer Plant Annapolis Wants
A Few 0lher Things.

There is nothing like asking for
what you want Sometimes you get
it, sometimes you don't. But when il
comes to going after things Annapolis
is Setting aa example that makes all
the other towns in the State lock like
also rams. says the Baltimore San
Only short while ago Annapolis
through Senator Watkins, put In a
bid for the location near here Of the
proposed Government armor plont.
Then it put in plea 70 have the Gov
eminent connect il up with Wash
ington BY means Of magnificent
boulevard. Now it wants the Govern
ment to buy lot near its ancient
confines and erect thereon summer
no ne for the President.
With this object in view, Senator
Watkins yesterday introduced the
following joint resolution:
Whereas il is beneitting that the
people Of thB United States should
provide their Chief Executive with a
home in the country, and
Whereas such home should com
bine 81 advantages offered by land
and water, and should Be in close
proximity to the national capital,
within easy and quick access by rail
and automobile roads. at the same
time possessing al retirement aud
seclusion desired, and
Whereas, on the shores OF the
Chesapeake Bay, near the omitted
States Naval Academy,with lie many
attractions, there are many sites
possessing all requisites Of soil, cli-
mate, accessibility and other attrac.
tions for such a home for the Presi-
dent, be it therefore
Resolved, by the General Assem-
bly, of Maryland, That the Congress
of the United States be invited and
requested to purchase site on the
western shore OF the Chesapeake
Bay, and erect thereon a suitable
home for the President; be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be transmitted to Mary
lands Representatives in Congress,
and that they be instructed to DO all
in their power to secure favorable
action by Congress on the subject set
forth in these resolutions.
This now shows why Annapolis
wants the boulevard to Washington,
but Senior Watkins seems to have
given his home town a back slap
when he referred to it as possessing
all the retirement and seelusion de.
sired. Annapolis may be secluded,
but the SeDator's activity proves that
it is anything but retiring.
