To Investigate Road Complaints

A number of matters of routine
nature came before the Commissioners
for their attention at the regular
weekly meeting yesterday.
Acting upon communication from
Clarence NJ. White, secretary of the
West Annapolis Fire and Improve
ment Association, in which complaint
was registered as to the alleged bad
condition of the short road running at
right angles from the Annapolis-Bal-
timore Boulevard into the village of
West Annapolis, even after the district
road gang had worked on it, the Board
directed Commissioner Barber of the
Second district, and Engineer Hay
man to investigate the matter.
To Commissioner Barber and Engi-
neer Hayman was also referred for
investigation, the complaint of L..
Earle Strange, of the alleged bad con-
dition of the bed of Washington street,
Eastport. Mr.. Strange points out in
street bed more than two feet deep
and that the thoroughfare is often
rendered in practically an impossible
condition, especially after rains.
A third complaint as to road condi-
tons referred to Commissioner Bar
Der and Engineer Hayman, was that
of Paul f. Clark, secretary of the Sew
ern Community, Inc, asking that re-
pairs be made to the Cublitz Cut road,
leading into Sherwood Forest, a sum-
mer resort on upper Severn river.
Mr.. Clark, in letter to the Board,
states that attention was called to
this matter some time previously, but
that no remedial measures have thus
far been taken.

A LITTLE GIRLS GIFT
TO BABIES MILK FUND

Dorothy Brown, little girl about
nine years. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles, Brown, of Annapolis Neck,
left at the Capital Office this morning
one dollar for the Babies Milk Fund.
When asked how a little girl who
lives some distance from Annapolis
knew about the fund for sick babies
milk, she said her mamma and daddy
read it in the Evening Capital
The money donated to the good
cause by this little girl was turned
over to Miss Sutherland, Public
Health Nurse, who is custodian for the

which was forwarded to the
Chairman of the State Roads Com
mission of Maryland.
Since then, we received a reply
from Mr.. Mackall stating that no
money would be spent on that
part of the Baltimore-S olomon's
Island Road, running through
Annapolis, for the reason that the
streets, especially West street, are
passable.
| certainly feel that Annapolis,
which is the capital of the State,
should be given consideration as
well as others in regard to the ex-
penditure of this fund. There are
parts of West street, it is true,
which are passable, but there are
others in a condition that is al
most impossible.
/ sincerely hope that you will
consider this resolution and give
us what assistance you possibly
can in regard to this matter.
Enclosed you viii find copy
of Mr. Mackal's letter

ing TO the second and third floors
where large quantities of various ma
terials are stored These proved a
big draft and caused the flames to
leap rapidly to the upper sections of
the building. and for a time IL looked
as though the entire structure would
fall prey 10 the pyre. The fire lad
dies soon had several streams of wa
ter playing on the flames. and sue

tirely 10 one section of the ware
rooms. but not before that part of the
building was Quilted by water and was
left a mass of charred timbers. The
flames also licked their way partly
into a store room Immediately above
the offices. the latter being on the
main floor.
Quantities of materials in this store
room were ruined before the firemen
halted further spread of the blaze and
the rest of the damage therein as well
as in the Office and salesrooms. was
the result of water. Gordon Parlett,
member of the Parlett Company,
had been in the city during the even
ing, visiting friends. and soon was
on the scene. Other company Off
Gals and employees arrived a few
minutes later, and aided the firemen
in their work. after seeing 10 it that
the books and other things of value
were taken from the offices to safety.
For nearly an hour the fremen
fought the flames before they were
finally subdued and number of them
stood by" the smouldering ruins
throughout the rest of the night.
Some of the heaviest losses by the
fire were a number of electric clothes
washers which were stored in the
wareroom on the ground floor of the
structure where the fire originated.
These were practically ruined as were
also large quantities of building ma
| terials and other things.
Was Spectacular Blaze
AS the partly destroyed building is
situated directly on the dock water
| front, and is a rather high structure
the blaze could be seen by residents
all over the city, and it presented an
especially spectacular sight along the
waterfront, at Eastport and out into
the bay.
The ice plant of the Parlett Com.
pany is situated some distance in the
rear of the scene of the blaze so thai
it was not in any immediate danger
The plant is in full operation today
and all of the company's wagons are
out on their regular delivery routes

WORLDS POOREST CITY
Is MADE RICHEST
BY TOURIST TRAVEL

From the poorest republic 10 the
world TO the richest Is what tourists
travel did for Switzerland That little
republic practically unknown a century
ago Is nov recognized the world over
as a playground for tourists because
iIs scenic beauties we're capitalized.
Data showing what the tourist busi-
ness has done for Switzerland has been
prepared by Alfred A. Aya representing
the Swift interests in Oregon and
turned over to the Oregon State Cham
Der OF Commerce to be used in eonnec-
ionwith its statewide expansion cam
paign now in progress.
It has a direct bearing on the caT
oaign by reason Of the fact that one OF
he chief arguments being used by the
State Chamber Is that cities are spend
ing huge sums to advertise their in
terests along civic industrial lines.
In the article prepared by Mr. Aya
showing the economic value Of tourist
kIdfCl nt odgo.
1T Is estimated that tourists an
nually spend more than $750,00O,OOO in
the United States. OF this sum 1t 10
estimated Maine and Colorado receive
close to $50. .OO0, 900; the New England
states close to $100, 100000 Florida
close to 5000, 900, 900 and southern Cali
fornia close to 5000, 900, ,000-while IL
1918 1t was estimated that Oregon with
scenery second to none in the world
received less than S5,0O0.000 from this
source.
"The best example In the world Of the
possibilities of the tourist business Is
Switzerland, with an area OF 1886
square miles, or about one-third larger
than Harvey county in eastern Oregon.
THE Swiss did not consciously begin
development Of the tourist business
until about 100 years ago, starting
with the single guest in the spare
room until today the little republic
has, according to the latest hotel guide,
959 hotels and doubles its population
annually through the tourists. 1t is
said the little village of st. Moritz has
few over fifty native population, but
2700 beds for tourists"
Specific cities cited by the State
to advertise their possibilities include
Chamber that are spending huge sums
San Francisco which is now raising a
fund of $250,000; Seattle now engaged
in raising $25O,O0O and New Orleans
which put 100000 into an advertising
campaign.

DEMOCRATIC CONTROL
FOR STATE CHAMBER
Subscribers to Budget Will
Have Voice In Matter
Of Expenditures.

after ! havs subscribed to the Ore
gon State Chamber of Commerce, wat
part will | have in the organizationY
This question is frequently heard In
connection with the State Chamber ex-
pansion movement now iD progress.
The answer iu that all subscribers
will have voice in saying how the
| money will be spent By this and
| other methods the fundamental demo
cracy of the organization is assured.
or course the Board Of Directors,--to
which every member is eligible,--w
| actually expend the funds of the organ
! ization but they will be guided in
their expenditures by the wishes OF the
subscribers.
To determine what the subscribers
want the State Chamber to do, group
| meetings will be held in every center
of population in the state when all sub
sc-.bers will be called together and
asked to answer, in writing, the fol
lowing questions;
| /. What can the Oregon State Cham
| Der OF Commerce do to improve condi-
tions of opportunities in your own line
of business or professioni
2. What do you believe the Oregon
State Chamber of Commerce should do
to advance the interests OF your OWL
community?
3. What in your opinion as tizen,
is the thing of first importance for
the Oregon State Chamber of Com.
merce to do for the good Of the state
as whole?
After these group meetings have
been held under the direction Of the
executive committee in charge OF the
campaign, each district will select one
representative to attend convention
with the officers and directors of the
State Chamber, and the answers to the
questions will be formulated into a
program of activities designed to unite
the entire state on definite tasks.
The program of work Will also con
troll expenditures When work Is start
ed on this program the directors will
follow their present practice of submit
ting questions OF wide Importance by
means of referendum.
The Directors represent every city
and county In the state. Representa-
ton on the Board Is arranged geo.
graphically and not based on popula-
ton. Eastern Oregon is represented by
five Directors, Western Oregon by five,
Multnomah County by two, and there
are three at large; making total of
fifteen, which avoids the possibility
OF control by any one section.
To sum up: The State Chamber will
! do what the subscribers themselves say
, should be done. 1t will function
through Board of Directors elected
by delegates and officers, including an
executive secretary elected by the
Board. Voting will be done by consti
tuent members. Individual subscribers
help make up the program of activities
and carry them to completion through
committee service.
