CONTINUE REVIEW OF
REASSESSMENr IN CITY
County Commissioners Busily Engaged
With The Work Yesterday Get
Deed To Property.

With little business, apart from the
usual matters of routine to occupy
their attention, the County Commits
sioners at their weekly meeting yes

to the continuation of the review of
the new assessment of real estate
here in the city
The way is being cleared in the
plans for the erection of a big manu-
featuring plant near Curtis Bay, in
the Fifth District, as the South Balti-
more Harbor and Improvement Com
pany has placed in the hands of the
county officials deed conveying
property along certain streets at Cur
It's Bay.
The Commissioners at last week s
meeting gave permission to close all

tracks are removed, and when the
company is ready to use this portion
of that street and the land to the
south thereof for the purpose of erect
ing a manufacturing plant.

GAS CONSUMERS
ARE PETlTIONED
To Conserve Gas-DoD't Be WastefuI
Scarcity Of Labor And Good
Coal The Reason

In another column the Annapolis
Public Utilities Company has an adj
vertisement petitioning local consum-
ers Of gas to be less extravagant in
the use of gas.
While in making this request, the
Company is taking shingle of its
roof" to use street parlance, at the
same time it is hoping to conserve
gas.
The fuel from which gas is being
manufactured-the best fuel that can
now be procured-does not make the
proper quantity nor quality of gas.
As coal is at a premium, almost nom
procurable, the Gas Company is find
ing it a difficult problem to manufac-
ture gas at all.
If every consumer of gas tries 10
be sparing in its use. the Annapolis
Public Utilities Company may be able
to tide over the present crisis. but If
people are careless and wasteful, use
gas for heating purposes indiscrimi-
nately, it is only "a question of short
time when Annapolis, like Cumber-
land. and some other places, will he
without gas.
The urgent request of the Company
at this time would not be made were
it not necessary, and it is hoped every
patriotic citizen who burns gas will
be abstemious in its use.
