QUESTION OF NEW
FIRE ENGINE UP
City Cannot Provide For Ten
Thousand Dollar Expenditure
At The Present Time
MAY BORROW THE MONEY

Just what the city is going TO do
about the purchase of a much-needed
new fire engine is puzzling the Mayor
and Council of Annapolis Alderman
Beavin last night endeavored to have
the Council mandatorily provide in the
new levy for funds sufficient to pur-
chase the engine. However, Mayor
Strange pointed out that with legal
rate OF S1.00, above which the city can
not go, il would be practically impos-
sible to allow in the next levy for any
such sum as will be required to pur-
chase a new engine-something in the
neighborhood of $4,000. During the
discussion ii was pointed out that the
firemen have in hand $4,000 which they
have offered toward this very neces-
sary purchase.
The Beavin order was finally amend
ed so as TO call upon the Finance
Committee to carefully consider pro-
vision for an engine. and it is hoped
that it may be possible to raise
another $4,000 and then probably
borrow the remaining $4,000 to be paid
off in four years.

Argument in the Baltimore City an

Court of Appeals this morning, will
occupy two full court days. After
consultation between the Court and the
several lawyers in the case, it was de-
termined at the start of the case, to
allow the annexationists and the anti
annexationsists four and a half hours
each to present their sides of the tan
gled question for the consideration of
the Appellate Court. Five hours were
set for today and four for tomorrow.
AT the conclusion of the argument the
Court will consider the case and the
authorities cited and it is expected
that little time will be lost in the fill
Anne Arundel and Baltimore Coun-
ties are anxious that the validity OF
the Greater Baltimore law be disposed
of one way or the other as soon as
possible, and in this the Court of Ap-
peals has expressed a willingness to
meet the present public necessity for
its settlement promptly.
1t was determined that the argument
should be conducted as follows:

COAL SUPPLY QUESTION
BOTHERS MUNICIPALITY
Public Buildings Committee Auth0riz-
ed To Try And Buy Outside Of
Annapolis IL Necessary

A supply of coal for the heating Of
the various municipality owned build
ings in Annajolis for the coming win
ter, is proving a bother to the muni-
cipal authorities. After some discus
sion of the matter at last nights ses-
sioE of the City Council the matter
was placed in the hands of the Com
mittee on Public Buildings with pow
er to act, and to, if necessary, secure
a supply from out-of-town dealers.
The question was brought up by let
ter from Robb Combs and Company,
offering the city two carloads of soft
coal at STA per ton. However, II de-
veloped that there is a difference of
opinion as to the purchase of hard or
soft coal.
Alderman Smith reported that il
the necessary permission can be Sc
cured from the State Fuel Admins
traitor and a check be sent with the
order, it might be possible to secure
the necessary hard coal from a Phila-
delphia firm with which he had been
in consultation. He said that he had
not been able to get any promise of
I hard coal from local dealers, and that
these had told him if it were possible
to get it elsewhere they would have
no objections.

WANTS LEGAL ADVICE
ON SIDEWALK CONTROL
City In A Quandary About Sharp
Turn At Northwest And WASH
ingtOn Street Intersection

The municipality rights over the
foot-ways and siwewalks of Annapo-
lis, together with the advisability of
making it more safe for automobilists
to turn the corner at the intersection
of Washington and Northwest streets,
near the entrance to st. Anne's Gene
terry, is puzzling the Street Commit
tee of the City Council.
Alderman Parkinson, of the Street
Committee, said last night during the
monthly session of the Council that
the cutting off of the long point of the
pavement at this place, provided for
in an order passed by the Council
some weeks ago, had not been done
because of the committees uncertainty
as to the legal right to cut this pave
ment off to eliminate the sharp turn.
There was also some discussion as to
whether it would not have tendency
to give motorists a feeling of false
security and lead to speeding around
this dangerous curve.
However, the Council later adopted
an order offered by Alderman Russell
directing the Street. Committee to seek
the necessary legal advice upon the
matter.

There will be a mass-meeting at the

tional holiday and to testify to the
French nation the determination of
the American people to persevere in

victory is won and peace is assured
for posterity The exercises will be
held at 4.30 in the House of Delegates.
Governor Harrington will preside and
make an address. and there VIII be

one be be held as appropriately as i'm

ca saw as much of the French sailors
who fought in the Revolution as did
this town. 1t is to be hoped, there
fore, that the meeting will be-as large
ly attended as possible. in order to
make il worthy of such inspiring as
sociations. Every person in Annapo-
lis should consider it a patriotic duty
to attend.
While the program is not complet-

none can fail to be inspired by its pa

Lafayette, familiar figure to Annap-
oils in those early days of the Ameri-

where the French soldiers and sailors
fought, bled and died for American in
| dependence, and in the rear of the
campus there stands the only monu-
ment in this country to French sol
diers and sailors. No city in the en-
tire country is better fitted, or more
appropriate spot for the celebration
of the French National Holiday than
Annapolis, and State House Hill
should be crowded on Sunday after
noon at these ceremonies.

PLENTIFUL SUPPLY OF
WATER NOW ON HAND
RcpOrt OF The Directors OF The Com
pany To The City Council Shows
This To Be So

Notwithstanding the comparatively
small fall of rains within recent
weeks. the supply of drinking water
now in the storage reservoirs OF the
Annapolis Water Company, is much
greater than for years at this season,
according to the report made to the
City Council last night by the Direc-
tors of the Company Under ordinary
circumstances there is at the first OF
July about 16.000,000 reserve gallons
but the report just filed shows the
amount to be in the neighborhood of
so 600 600
The report attributes this greater
reserve TO the fact that the heavy
SHOWS OF last winter melted slowly,
and the rains also fell gently and in
both instances practically all of the
fall was absorbed into the ground and
eventually stored ftom the streams,
rather than evaporated.

PROPER DISPOSITION
OF DROWNED CANNES

The proper disposition, by burial, of
the carcasses of unlicensed dogs kill
ed at the city dog pound and a more
efficient system of checking the pay
ments to the city dog catcher for dis
posal of the CANNES taken up by him
and not claimed by their owners, came
in for some discussion during last
nights meeting of the City Council
The question was raised when the
bill of Dog Catcher John Fisher was
presented for the past month. Dur
ing the discussion Alderman Adams
and others pointed out that it is a
rather common sight for the bodies
of the drowned CANNES to be found
floating about the surface of College

by Mayor Strange and the city police,
and a less Objectionable and more
