CHESAPEAKE BRIDGE PROJECT.
Eastern Shore of Maryland and Parts
OF Delaware Enthusiastic Over
Plans Brought Before Legislature

iiis DIOuShI beIOre Legislature
Much interested is manifested in
this section of Delaware, as we'll as
the Eastern shore of Maryland. in the
proposed bridge over the Chesapeake
Bay, which would make a shorter and
quicker route between the Delmarvia
Peninsula and Baltimore and Wash
lngtOn. The project, when consum-
mated would put Smyrna about 81
miles from Baltimore and about 70
miles from Washington. The entrance
to the proposed bridge, if plans ma
tenalize, will be at Colchester a few
miles below Chestertown, Nd. The
Governor of Maryland and the State
Road Commission have already re-
commended the project and a bill will
be introduced at the coming session of
the Maryland Legislature. The bridge
would be approximately nine miles
long and could be built from Bav
Shore Md, which is miles from the
new Baltimore City limits, and can he
reached by a reasonably good road as
well as being the terminus of fast
electric line (there also being
steam railroad only several miles
away to the Kent county shore) at a
point about three miles south of Toll
chester.
DOuble-Deck Bridge Nine Miles Long
The bridge could be of a doubledeck
type, carrying a steam road and an
electric road underneath and trucks.
automobiles and other vehicles on ton.
1t would have two draws, one on the
west side for sailing vessels and the
other one on the eastern side, near
the Kent county shore, where the
channel is so feet deep. Eight and
one-half miles would have an average
depth of IA feet and one-half mile
would have an average depth of so
feet. This bridge would connect the
entire Eastern Shore with Baltimore
city and make it closer to the citv
than is the Western Shore.

If this bridge is built Kent county

city limits. Chestertown would be 80
miles against % miles to Annapolis
and 40 miles to Washington; Centre
VILE would be AZ miles against az
to Frederick; Easton would be 68
miles and Denton "a miles to Hagers-
town; Salisbury, the largest CITY in
the Eastern Shore, would be III

land, the metropolis of the Western
Shore; Ocean City, the easternmost
city, would be $50 miles against 1875
miles to Oakland, the westernmost

Brings Delaware Closer TO Baltimore.
This bridge should remove al possi-
oilities of the trade of the Eastern
Shore of Maryland and some of the
State of Delaware going to Philadel-
ohla instead of coming to Baltimore.
For instance, Dover the capital of

those living on Main street, between
South street and the "FOur Corners"

in charge also suggests a beautiful
custom now followed in many towns
that of placing a lighted candle in the
window on Christmas Eve and during
its burning Christmas prayers and
thanksgivings for peace may be said.
Following the exercises the Smyrna
church bells will ring and the children
Will go to their own church or Sun

'iNOo AOI week ana sunday
Saturday of this week will be the
Feast of st. Thomas, the Apostle.
About him not a great deal is known.
but enough is told to give us at least
an insight into his character. His

Greek, means "twin brother" St
Matthew, who may have been that
other twin brother" records of ST
Thomas to go to Bethany and die with
his Lord; and st. John gives the ac-
count of his doubt and his full con-
vlction. 1t is not what a man ac-
composites, after all, that gives abid-
ing value; but the character. A mans
character is more revealed bv what he
tries to do than by what he succeeds
IN doing. His abiding influence is ex-
pressed by his aspirations rather than
by his achievements. 1t is the temper.
the attitude toward life, which brings
forth the most lasting fruit in the
world. The great question that we
ought to asked about any man, is
Did he raise or lower the sense of
duty in those among whom he lived
and worked?" Something attempted.

is just as true. Let us all ATTEMPT
