MAY CUT OFF ALL OF
ANNAPOLIS WHARFAGE
Report Current That The Govern
ment Wants to Enlarge Naval
Academy This Way
OFFICIALS DENY KNOWLEDGE
No Word Of Such a Plan Has Been.
Received AT The Naval Academy,
But The Rumor. Persists
ANYWAY.

Rumors of contemplated enlarge
ment of the Naval Academy in such
way as to virtually cut off practically
all of the waterfront of Annapolis are
today creating no little interest here
The story is to the effect that gov
ernment agents have been to Annapo-
lis and made surveys of that section
of the town running from the present
limits of the government enclosure on
King George street following the line
of Randall street, down which the
tracks of the Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis Electric Railroad run
en- route to the Sampson Row Gate of
the present academic wall, over to
Prince George street and thence down
Prince George street to the location
of the Rochester steamboat wharf
1t is further indicated that even more
than this territory may be taken in.
the additional block running through
to the present City Dock If such a
plan is really contemplated and if il
should be carried through, Annapolis
would be left with practically no
waterfront
An effort to verify the report was
made at the Naval Academy this
morning but the query elected the
fact that if such a plan is under con-
sideration the local naval authorities
have not been informed of it, This,
to an extent, discounts the otherwise
apparently authentic rumor, but there
is, nevertheless. very keen interest in
the proposition.

AID TO BE GIVEN
FOR STATE ROADS
Secretary Baker Informs Chairman
ZOuck He Will Get Cars To
Haul Stone
MUST UNLOAD PROMPTLY
Army Making Extensive Use of Mary
land Highways For Heavy
Hauling.

The War Department notified Chair
man Zouck of the State Roads Com.
mission yesterday that If he would
designate loading points and destina-
tions, and at the same time promise
to unload cars promptly, he would be
allowed the use of enough cars to
haul all the crushed stone needed for
repairing the State highways and for
completing the contracts now under
construction.
All of which goes to prove the truth
of the old adage about its being an i'll
wind that blows nobody good. For
Mr.. Zouck has been trying for some
time, without much success. TO get an
opportunity To impress upon the gov
ernment Maryland's need for crushed
stone, when all of a sudden some
stone that had been placed along the
Washington Boulevard was conscript-
ed by army officers, giving him the
very opening he was looking for.
When that stone was conscripted
and dumped into the mudholes in the
road leading into the Laurel race
track, where a corps of army engi-
neers are stationed, Mr. Zouck let out
a howl. He sent a telegram to the
Quartermaster-G General then wrote
letter to Secretary Baker, saying
Maryland wanted to do everything
possible TO help the War Department,
and about the best service it could
render would BE to keep its roads in
such shape that the army could use
them, but it couldn't do so If it could
not get stone.
MIR. Baker took in the situation i'm
mediately, and it was under orders
from him that the Assistant Secretary
of War notified Mr.. Zouck that Mary
land is to have all the stone it needs
for maintenance and completion of
contracts.
The army is putting the roads of
Maryland to real test. Daily hun
dreds OF it's heavy trucks go lumber
ing over them. Almost every day a
fleet of trucks are brought to Mary
land under their own power to be dis
sembled and shipped to France A

are due shortly.
Heavy trucks are being used too,
to haul material to Camp Meade, the
radio station opposite the Naval
Academy. and to the proving grounds
in the Gunpowder Neck and other
points. Recently a fleet of heavy
freight trucks has been put into serv-
ice between Baltimore and New York
The result of all of this has been TO
increase the wear or the roads far be-
yond expectations.

SOUTH RIVER BRIDGE
BEING REPAIRED
Ice PiIing Up Against Structure Causes
Abutment To Drop Two Feet
Dangerous To Travellers

Ice foes piling up during the Sc
we're gales of yesterday and the pre-
vious night have caused the portion
of the abutment of South River
Bridge to drop nearly two feet
For sometime past the bridge has
not been in the best condition and it
is travelled daily by scores of vehicles,
including numerous automobiles, bug
gies heavily laden trucks and wagons
as well as pedestrians.
The constant heavy traffic together
with the ice driven against the piles
of the bridge have caused it to weak
EN- at the draw, and made travel dan
gerous the past few days. However,
no accident has occurred owing to the
timely warning given all travellers
over the structure by Joseph A Lee,
the bridge keeper, who was constant
ly on the lookout warning drivers of
teams and automobiles of the danger.
Yesterday and today a number of
workmen have been engaged on re-
pairs, the work being superintended
by Messrs. Knadler and Tucker, cap
able bridge contractors.
1t is expected TO complete the work
today or tomorrow, with favorable
weather conditions, and South River
Bridge will be made safe for travel
and traffic by tomorrow or Friday, if
not by this afternoon.
Nothing has been done, practically
for the bridge, which is the main con-
Meeting link for Davidsonvllie, An
napolis and Washington, because the
county has deemed this bridge a part
of the State Highway, and has been
endeavoring to have the State Roads
Commission take it over A bill to
this effect is now before the Leglsla

COAL FROM SCHOOLS
SENT TO ANNAPOLIS
"Ihe Harry House" AT Maryland
Ave. and Prince George St.
Is Center of Row
MAYOR DECLINES TO TALK
City Trucks We're Used To Bring Fuel
To This City For Use in City
Headquarters Building

Coal brought to Annapolis to heat
the headquarters of the Baltimore
City administration at the corner of
Maryland Avenue and Prince George
street has stirred up a veritable temp
est.
The matter was first turned loose
when City Councilman Edward Gross,
of Baltimore, during a meeting of the
City Council of that city, charged that
''the Harry House." as the headquart-
ers building has been dubbed, was
heated with coal filched from the bins
of the public schools of the city" He
yesterday followed up his charge with
the specific statement that four tons
of coal were taken from the bins of
School No. l, Fayette and Greene
streets, and hauled to Annapolis in
municipal trucks.
In substantiation of his assertion
that school coal was used to heat the
headquarters of the city administra-
ton forces in Annapolis, City Council
man Edward Gross, of the Eighteenth
ward, who made the charge, produced
the following excerpt from the min
utes of the Board of School Commits
sioners at its meeting on January 8:
"I"~n To Mayor"
''L0an TO MayOr-0n motion. a
request of the Mayors secretary
Tor the loan of four tons of coal
fer use Tor house mt Annapolis,
rented as headquarters for the
City AdministratiOn,wa granted"
The same official copy shows that
the meeting which handed the school
coal over to the Harry House" was
a special one called, according to a
statement made by James w. Chap
man, Jr., president of the board, for
the purpose of considering the fuel
situation
Charles j, Koch, Superintendent OF
Public instruction and Harry Davis,
Supervisor of School Buildings, de-
clared that they knew nothing of the
incident. 1t seems to have been
guarded with the utmost secrecy.
The Mayor would not discuss it, nor
would his secretary, Charles Kreuder,
Jr., who is superintendent of the city's
headquarters in Annapolis. Some OF
the Mayors friends at the City Hall
said he understood at the time that the
coal was taken from a supply the city
had at Key Highway and Hughes St,
because none could be bought in An
napolis
1t developed that the School Board
also pasesd a resolution loaning rs
tons of hard coal to the Fire Depart
ment for use in the engine and truck
houses.
