liquor, Oden B. Duckett. Register oil
wills or the county, and one of the
Democratic candidates for the State
Central Committee of the county, was
assessed fine OF $500 by Police JUS
tice J. Roland Brady this morning.
Mr.. Duckett filed notice of an appeal,
and he was released on his own recog-
nizafce for the October term of the
grand jury of the county
- The offense charged against Mr..
Duckett. was committed yesterday af-
ternoon. and as result OF his ex-
perience he finally came to grief when
his car collided with the curb and a
green pole of the Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis Electric Line at
the corner of West street and the
Farmers National Bank building. The
forepart of the machine was badly
damaged, one OF the wheels being
completely crushed. the engine dam
aged, and the running board on the
left side torn away That Mr. Duckett
escaped injury is regarded as remark
able. as il is said he was driving at a
fairly high rate of speed at the time.
Several persons who witnessed the
accident assert that ii resulted from
driving from the northwest side of st.
Anne's Circle. TO avoid two other cars
that were proceeding from West
street 10 the Circle. The fact that he
quickly swerved mis- car. averted col
lision with another machine, but he
could not control it in time to prevent
smashing into the curbstone and pole

Bids for the erection of school
houses at various points in the county
which were opened by the County
Boavd OF Education yesterday, show.
ed a wide range in figures submitted
by the prospective contractors. The
bids were for school buildings at the
following places:

dition OF brick. highest bid, $22.SSS:
lowest. $l7.5O0
Odenton-Four-roo frame struc-
ture. bids ranged from $10.343.21 to
$19,750, the average being about

RochlitZ was the lowest at $5.S96. The

Owing 10 the fact that many of the

and result in a saving, without mater
tally affecting the proposed structures.
The Board has been advised that

lumber yards and carry an immense
stock OF lumber. The lumber yards

in Baltimore. Wilmington. Del. and
Cleveland o.. and many other cities.
One hundred school houses are now
in course of erection by them. and 20
are under contract to be completed in
Cleveland within a space of 35 days.
The company has a large corps of
engineers, architects and estimators.
who are thoroughly competent TO
handle big jobs. With the bids sub
mitted to the County Board. the cor
poration offered bonds to insure sat-
isfactory completion of the buildings
in this county These advantages, it
was pointed ont, enabled the company
10 underbid all local contractors and
builders. some of them close TO the
corporations figures. and far below
the bids submitted by Baltimore bid
ders.
The building of schools in the sec
tions noted will he made out of the
funds through the sale of bonds, in
which the public-spirited citizens OF
the several communities were given
the opportunity to subscribe to their
respective allotments in order that
the entire issue of S150.O00 could be
sold at par as provided by the School
Bond Law The law provided that
the bonds should not be sold at less
. than par. Baltimore bankers. who
purchased the bonds. subscribed 81
