FAVORS CURTIS BAY ROAD.
Public Service Board Expert Says
Capital Should be Greater.

That the Curtis Bay railroad is not
only a public convenience but a public
necessity is the opinion given to the
Public Service Commission yesterday
by Bruce W. Duer, transportation ex-
pert for the commission, following an
investigation of the traffice conditions
in that region.
Mr.. Duer states, however. that the
proposed capitalization of the rail
road namely, $1O,000-is entirely too
small. and suggests that the commits
sion ask for a capitalization of $780,
600 He says that about $4,000 has
already been spent, and that probably
$4,000 more will be needed to COM
plete the line.
This railroad should not be confused
with the Chesapeake and Curtis Bay
railroad. which has figured before the
commission. The road referred to is
on the other side of Curtis Bay, run
ming about five miles from the Dawson
Chemical Company plant to Hawkins
Point
Mr.. Duer says the road will become
a common carrier within the meaning
of the law A hearing has been set
for March T.

FIND SECRET WIRELESS
Station On California Coast May be
Part Of BigS stem.

Secret foreign wireless stations
have been discovered on the Califor-
MIA Coast by agents of the Department
of Justice and of the Navy Department.
Investigations of the government
agents have uncovered evidence indi-
eating that string of hidden stations
operated for unneutral purposes in the
interests OF beIligerent nations, ex-
tends practical the entire length of the
California Coast
The stations are chiefly receiving
stations, bat q few sending stations
are understood to have been discov-
cred as well The discoveries made so
far have led officials TO believe that the
system of hiding wireless stations is
much more extensive than al first it
was thought to be, and that it possibly
may extend around the entire country.
The investigation of wireless sta
tons. in which the Department of jus
tice and the Navy Department are CO.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
is A hiISNOMER
A Deception and a Humbug When
Controlled BY Private Citizens
Engaged in Business Far

Editor Evening Capital:
In my Judgment the position that the
Evening Capital is maintaining upon
the question of municipal ownership,
as applied to public utilities. such as
water. gas and electric light, is very
commendable and should be appreci-
ated By every taxpayer in the city.
Municipal ownership is a grand thing
in the abstract, and when properly
administered. is capable OF rebound
ing great benefit to the community
wherein il is administered. But on
the other hand.municipal ownership of
any public utility that is managed and
controlled by giving salaries to three
private citizens, who are engaged in
business in callings far remote and
dis-similar to the public utility that
they control. then | say that such mu-
uicipal ownership is a mis-nomer. a
deception and humbug.
pork butcher cannot run an cleo
trical plant with efficiency: neither
can he run a gas plent,or water plant.
These are al special callings and re-
quire the highest form of skilled
knowledge and efficiency
used TO be strong advocate for city
ownership of the water plant. Be
cause I fully expected that municipal
cwenrship would mean a reduction of
at least so per cent from the water
charges besides. a much improved
public service. But, alas! my hopes
l..
that Annapolis water consumers are
now paying the same or even higher
rates than they were charged when the
water works were in the hands of a
private company This should not be
so, and / have no hesitancy in saying
that it is highly detrimental to the up
building benefit of the city Do not
forget the fact that the co immunity has
lost the large amount of taxation that
the private company used TO pay u bon

taxation.

The Kind To Use And How To Apply

The kind Of lime to apply viii de-
pend almost entirely upon the relative
cost Of the different forms. The main
function of lime Is to correct acidity;
any form wiz do this but It requires
practically twice as much Ground
Limestone or Shells, and IA times
as much Hydrated Lime as Burned
Lime to do the same amount Of good.
The fneness to which the raw ma

extent its effectiveness. The finer he

from Lime Stone or Oyster Shells de-
Ponds upon how we are situated with
regard TO transportation. since freight
rates are an important item to con

We cannot say that either source of
lime is decidedly better than the
other
How To Apply Lime.
The method OF spreading lime viii
depend upon the kind used. II we
use Lump Lime We may slack it in a
large pile and spread it with a manure
spreader, or il may be placed in small
piles over the field and after slack
ing, spread Nth shovels. II the lat
ter method is used, 90 pound heaps
q peck placed % feet apart each
way, or one bushel 50 feet each way
viii provide about one ton per acre
The small piles have the advantage
over the larger ones in stacking more
readily, and on account of being close
together, win not necessitate it being
thrown so far with the shovels when
spreading Mixing this Stacked Lime
with fine earth before spreading will
make it less disagreeable to handle
If the ground Stone or Hydrated
Lime be used, the most convenient
way to distribute it viii be with q lime
spreader Caustic Lime should never
be mixed with manure or commercial
fertilizers. Il is better to pillow The
manure under and put the lime on Top
of the soil after blowing If CONNER
cial fertilizer is to be used the lime
should be applied few weeks before
the application of the fertilizer is
made
Amounts OF Lime To Apply.
1t is generally the best practice 70
apply not less than one ton of Burnt
Lime or two tons of Ground Lime or
Stone oyster Shells per acre. Hy.
drafted Lime should be used at The
rate of IL tons per acre. Such an
application need moi be given oftener
than once in Eve years, which makes
the cost not more than soc to 81. 90
per acre per year
When To Apply Lime.
There is no doubt best time to ap-
ply lime and for many reasons that
time is just after the land is plow ed
for the corn crop. The processes re-
