SUSQUEHANNA MAKES
HER FIRST TRIP
In Eight Weeks -Tolchester Boat Re-
sumes Schedule Heavy Freight
Consignment

The Tolchester Steamboat Com
pany's steamer Susquehanna made a
trip here from Baltimore yesterday,
the first in eight weeks.
1t is expected now that the steamer
between Annapolis and Baltimore
will resume her tri-weekly schedule
The Susquehanna arrived at the
colchester wharf, foot of Prince
George street, at 10 A NJ, bringing a
heavy cargo of freight of all kinds
consigned to nearly every merchant
in town. Since the uncertainty of the
railway and the tie-up of freight cars,
merchants have been depending on
the boat for freight The freeze-up
the past winter has been a great hard
ship to the local merchants who were
receiving freight by boat
The Susquehanna brought no pas
sengers, only her crew and a large
consignment of freight After dis
charging her consignment for Annap-
oils, she left for her West and Rhode
Rivers trip with freight also for those
points.
The steamer is expected to make
another trip here on Monday.

SENATOR WANTS ALL
STATE OFFICES HERE
Duyall Offers Bill Carrying Big
Bond .Issueg o Erect i fficial
Building
WOULD SAVE STATE MONEY
Over Eighty Thousand. Is Now Being
Spent Annually For Rental Of Ac-
commodaiions In Baltimore

Senator DuYall, of Anne Arundel
has once more gone after that Mary
land State office building for Annap-
oils, and the carrying out of the con-
stitutiOnal provisions that all State
officials shall conduct the business OF
the State at the States capital city.
He yesterday afternoon introduced in
the Senate a bill providing for the
construction of a $500 900 office build
ing in this city, which shall be devot-
ed to the business of the various
officers, departments, officials and
boards of the State.
The bill, which was referred to the
Finance Committee, is practically the
same measure Senator Duvall intro
duced a number of years ago, when
he was a member of the House of
Delegates. At that time, he sue
ceeded in having the measure passed
through the House and got it almost
to its third reading in the Senate. 1t
was only through political log-rolling
and swapping of votes on other meas
ures that it was finally killed on the
last night of the session.
The bill, Notwithstanding the ap-
parently heavy appropriation it car
ries, would, if it were passed and its
provisions carried out, soon save the
State a tremendous amount of money
annually. In discussing the measure,
Senator Duvall this morning called
attention to the fact that the State is
now spending in the neighborhood of
$4,000 annually for rental of offices
for scores of boards and departments
located in Baltimore City.
Provision is made in the measure
for the appointment of a building
commission consisting of the Cover
nor, the Comptroller, the Treasurer,
and the Attorney General. of the
amount included III the bond issue
Tor the construction of the building,
81 500 is set aside for the necessary
advertising, and engraving of the
bonds.

the Board of Trustees were able to
hold meeting yesterday at the Coun-
ty Home on South River. A severe

ters, and everything about the prem
ises found neat and clean, and the in
mates satisfied and happy. They all
said they had spent a comfortable
winter and had not suffered from the
cold, as the Home was warm and
comfortable. There are now 10 in
mates in the Home, II white and s
colored Since the last meeting an
old white man and his wife and an
old colored man have been added to
the Home
The Board finds it impossible to
conduct the Home on the States al
lowance of $4,000 per annum, with
the high cost of living. and through
the kindness of Judge Moss, who
drew up the bill asking the Legis-
lature for a fund of $4,000 for main
tainance. President Walton, of the
County Commissioners, stands back
of the bill which was introduced with
the consent of the Commissioners.
The Board has appointed Rev
Houghton Fosbroke, rector of All
Hallow's Parish, minister at the
Home for the balance of the year.
The health of the inmates, consid-
ering their age and general condi-
tion, is considered good. The keeper
was commended for his care and at
tention of the place and its surround
ings.

In connection with the drying up

saloons and liquor houses in Balti-

visited by soldiers to close during the

Of course. such a bill will be siren

thereby they will be cut out of the

FINALLY PASSES SENATE
Measure Offered In House BY Delegate
Melvin Provides For ApprOpria-
tion For Maintenance.

Provisions for continuing the an
nual expenditure of $4,000 for the
maintenance of the County Home of
Anne Arundel is made in the Melvin
bill which, after passing the House,
was finally passed by the Senate yes
terday afternoon. In 1916 bill was
passed setting this figure for that year
alone and providing drop to $4,000
annually thereafter. However, with
the jump in the cost of living it was
found that the $4,000 was needed for
every year. The bill also provides
for a gradually decreasing additional
appropriation during such times as
the number of inmates shall exceed
certain minimums.
