OF agriculture for all work under the
Federal Aid Act. as shown in the re-
port of the secretary of agriculture
on November IS, last, was s424.455.O0.
In this connection it is interesting
and enlightening to know that s.
miles of Federal aid road have been
finished in Maine and that during the
month of January, 1919. a payment
received from the Federal govern
ment made the Federal aid which has
been drawn by Maine amount to
s102, 6G6.94.
The Maine Highway Commission
has been charged many times with
not being active in the matter of
Federal aid. The above figures. which
indicate what has been done through
out the whole United States and what
has been done in Maine, would lead
one to believe that the State Highway
Commission of Maine has been fairly
active in this matter in comparison
with what other states have done.

STATE FERRY BY APRIL !
Boat is All That is Needci-And it
Is in View--NO Trouble About
| Piers

That the proposed State ferry be-
tween Annapolis and Claiborne will
be in operation by April 1 now seems
pretty definitely determined. All
that is needed is the boat, and Gov
ernor Harrington has one in view
a boat capable of making Is miles
an hour, it is reported. but the Gov
sernor said that no deal for any boat
had been closed although he admit;
ted he has several in mind.
There will be no trouble about
pier facilities. The State can get q
pier at Claiborne for nothing. and
the Annapolis City Council has pass
ed an ordinance granting the State
the use of the wharf at the foot OF
King George street for a rental of
81 a year, with the condition that the
State must put the wharf in order
and maintain it. 1t will cost about
$4,000, it is estimated, to put the
wharf in shape.
Two plans are under consideration
for the maintenance Of the ferry. One
is to buy a boat outright, and it is
understood that the one the Cover
nor has in mind can be bought for
approximately $4,000 This is the
amount available for the establish
ment of the ferry. In case the State
buys the boat or leases it, the ferry
will be- operated oy the State ROADS
Commission, making two round trips
a day and making the charge for the
trip as low as possible. While the
rate will be such as to make the fer
ry self-sustaining, if possible, no ell
fort will be made to make it a mo-
ney-making proposition, and any loss
from operation will be made up out
of the roads funds.
Another plan is to have the boat
operated by the owners, the rates OF
fare to be fixed by the State and the
owners subsidized at the rate OF ST.
900 per mile per annum, this being
about the cost of maintaining the
State roads. In such All event accu-
rate accounts would be kept of operat
ing expenses and earnings, and the
subsidy would continue until the fer
ry line should become self-sustain-
ing.
In connection with the provision
for the ferry. an appropriation was
made for the construction Of State
road from Claiborne o Easton, four
miles of which have already been
constructed. This is of concrete. 1t
| is expected that contracts will be
given out in a short while for the
construction of the remainder.

SMALLPOX SITUATION
UNDER COMPLETE CONTROL
Many Wild And Exaggerated RImors
Have Been Started, But The Facts
Are That There is Practically no
Danger at This Time.

Since it became known that there
were several cases of small pox in
Cambridge, all sorts of rumors have
been started, many of them so ridicu
lous as to be amusing; others of
such an alarming nature as to make
one think the whole place was filed
with cases. The facts, obtained af-
ter a very careful and painstaking
investigation. are as follows:
There are at the present time, in
Cambridge, eight white and two col
ored families with small pox. In on
" two families are there more than
one case. The fact that in the white
families the disease existed some
time before discovered makes it pos
sible that a few unvaccinated per-
sons came in contact with some of
these cases. In this way only will
there be new cases. Persons that
have small pox get sick fourteen
days after exposure to the disease,
and the eruption occurs four days
later. Small poX is the easiest of
all contagious diseases to control,as
properly vaccinated people do not
have it. All unvaccinated persons
must be vaccinated, and all those
that come in contact with the small
pox patients. People who have been
vaccinated a number of years, and
who mingle freely with the public,
should be revaccinated. Do this and
you can forget that small pox exists.
