FARM DEMONSTRATOR
H. c. WhitefOrd is Appointed to
the Position.
SANITATION AT EASTPORT.
Health Officer and Engineer Directed
to Take Steps to Abate
Nuisances.

The County Commissioners at their
weekly meeting yesterday appointed
MIR. II. G. Whiteford, as the farm
demonstration for the County. The APP
pointment was based upon the recon-
mendation of Prof. Thomas B. SYM
onds, of the Farm Extension Service
Of the Maryland Agricultural College.
Mr.. Symonds, in a letter addressed to
the Board lauded the qualifications of
MIR. Whiteford for the position. and
the Commissioners promptly concurred
and made the appointment. Mr..
Whitefo ID will enter upon his duties
at once. He will receive salary of
ST. 500 per year, half of which is to
be paid by the county and the other
half by the Federal Department of
Agriculture.
Claiming that William II. Brown,
colored, recently committed to the
Colored Insane Hospital at Crowns
vile, this county, is not insane, nor
pauper. friends of the man have
petitioned the County Commissioners
for his release. Brown was committed
to the asylum on May 3, upon certifi-
Gates of insanity furnished by DIR. John
Ridout and DIR. Louis b. Henkel. Jr.
The matter of the release of Brown
and the question as to his sanity has
been referred TO States Attorney
Nicholas H. Green for investigation
Recommendations pertaining to the
general health and sanitary condition
of the County, similar to those discuss
ed by the City Council Monday night,
were placed before the Commissioners
yesterday by Chief Engineer Morse of
the State Department of Health.
Mr.. Morse laid particular stress upon
the grave condition of affairs existing
at Eastport, because of the contami-
nation of the water, and the urgent
need of a sewerage system. A sewer
age system for the village is an abso-
lutte necessity, and the same recon-
mendations in this connection were
made as in the preliminary report pre-
scented to the municipal authorities.
The County Commissioners are we'll
aware of the existing conditions, and
following general discussion of the
matter yesterday, adopted an order
directing the County Health Officer
and engineer to take steps to abate
the nuisances.
The commissioners took action in
two other matters bearing upon insan-
itary conditions on property near the
city. Health Officer Walton and En-
gineer Hayman weresdirected to take
the necessary measure to abate the
nuisances along the highways at the
fork of the Camp Parole and Spa
roads, arising out. of the accumula-
tion of filth in the cutters, due to over
flow.
Complaint having been made as to the
dumping of filth and refuse in Back
creek or along its shores, at PASSPORT,
the Board adopted an order, fixing a
penalty of from SIS to $50, upon any
persons convictd of this offnse in the
future.
Two more coloredspersons adjudged
insane. were ordered committed to the
Negro Insane Hospital at Brownsville,
viz: Mamie Johnson, upon certificates
fur nished by DIR. William S. Welch,
and DIR. Walton II. Hopkins; and Anne
Duvall, upon certificates of ID. j. Nor
tier Hayes, and DIR. John Collision.
