BRIDGE COMPANY EARNINGS
Public Service Commission Shows
Enormous Profits On Perryville-
Havre de Grace Bridge.

A preliminary hearing of the
Perryville-H -Havre de Grace toll
bridge controversy was had last
week before the Public Service Com
mission
The last Legislature passed a bill
reducing the tolls on this bridge,
but Governor Harrington vetoed it,
on the ground that the Public Ser
vice Commission had authority to
remedy any wrong in the matter.
At the hearing on June IA, coun-
sci for the Commission, Osborne /.
Yellott, showed that the Bridge
Company's gross earnings in 1915
amounted to $4,000, that is to say
capitalization at that time of $780,

pany increased it's capitalization to
$500,000, the increased stock being

building of the State system of roads

money began pouring in upon the
bridge owners.

A sheriff's jury in Baltimore
county last week viewed the eight
miles of the Meredith Ford and Jar

it was not in such a condition as to
entitle toll to be collected ON it.
If the turnpike is not repaired with
in ten days the Court of Baltimore
county will order that the collection
of toll be stopped, and if it is not
repaired within six months, the turn
pike becomes county road under

SPECIAL ELECTION.
To Vote On Bond Issue For Town
July 4,

The voters and taxpayers of the
town of Rising Sun are urged to bear
in mind the special election on Sat
urday, July 1, between the hours of
o'clock and o'clock p. m.
The purpose of the election is to
decide for or against the issuance of
bonds, as provided by bill passed
by the last Legislature.
The bond issue is not to exceed
$4,000 and the purpose of it is to
pay for the water works already co
structed, side walks already laid,
and for apparatus for fire protection,
purchased some time since.
The money to pay for these vari-
Gus town improvements has been
borrowed and is being carried on
short term notes at six per cent. in
terest, whereas the interest on the
bonds would be bur live per cent,
which would mean a saving of $140,
an item of no small consideration.
In fact, the bond issue is good,
practical business proposition, and
one which those who have the in
terest of our town at heart should
not hesitate to endorse.
The Town Commissioners make
the following brief statement for the
information of our residents and
voters:
"The bill authorizing the issue of
bonds by the town does not provide
for an additional tax rate. Besides
this, the issuance of bonds. will save
the town $140 year in interest, as
the rate of interest will thereby be
reduced from six to five per cent.
Zone thousand dollars have been
paid from the revenues of the town
upon the cost of the water plant so
that the present debt for the plant is
$4,000.

COLLEGE
HERD.
DELAWARE
FARM
Guernsey and Jersey Stock Bring
Profit To Farm.

a@
The College Farm Newark, Del,
heas recently sold number of it's
Guernsey cattle, and reduced the
herd from forty-five to twenty-five.
The Guernsey herd has been estab-
lished five and a half years, and
during that time has given a good
demonstration of the possibilities in
raising registered dairy cattle in
Delaware.
Since November 1910, the college
has spent $11,60O for all the Guern-
sey cattle it has purchased. 1t is
fair to assume that the milk pro-
duction and the increased fertility of
the farm has paid for the feed and
labor of the herd. During the past
five and one-half years Guernseys
have been sold to the amount of
$16,241. If the assumption that
the milk and fertility will Offset the
feed and labor is conceded, there has
been profit of $4621 is cash, to
which must be added the value of
all the Guernseys now on hand,
which of course are the tops of the
herd, and include one of the most
valuable bulls of the breed. It is
difficult to estimate the actual
money value of this lot of cattle, but
it is safe to assume, considering
their age, breeding and official rec
ords, that they could not be re-
placed for $4,000 which would
make total money increase on the
Guernsey herd of $14,621.
During practically he same
period the college has spent $1475
for Jersey cattle, and sold during the
same period of time cattle amount
ing to $2536. If 1t is assumed that
the milk and fertility would care for
the feed and labor, the Jersey herd
shows a profit of $1061 or total for
the two herds of $15,682 in five and
one-half years.-The Post.
