II. c. L. VS.. the Work-or-Fight Law
Chesapeake Bay and river resorts of
the type like many in lower and upper
Anne Arundel County summer resorts,
and many of the former proprietors
have sought more essential employ
ment. Instead of giving up their time
to complying with wants and needs of
the numerous guests of the boarding
houses which line the shores of the
various rivers and creeks of the Bay
as well as the main body of water
itself, these persons are now active
ly engaged in tilling the soil.
According to a veteran captain of
baywise steamer, the shores of the
tributaries of the bay are now lack
ing their usual summer attire. that is
to say the bathing girls in numbers
and the mere man, who is only too
ready to pay attention to them. There
was a time in years gone by when it
was difficult to secure accommodation
at a desirable resort for vacation,
but this is no longer the case. I'm
der the present conditions there are
any number or places ready to accept
boarders at figure which will allow
the management to make a small
margin of profit, but the present cost
of living has made it necessary to raise
the regular price to such a standard
that many are unable to pay the
freight, and are spending their vaca-
ton in another manner.
