BUS LINE NEEDS
S75O,OOo CASH
Prospects Bright For Establish
ment of Service in Every
Shore County

Plans for notorious service from Po-
comoke City, Snow Hill and Salisbury
to Elkton, with cross lines to reach
practically every county seat, are rap
idly taking shape. 1t was at first pro-
posed to establish the service on cap
ital of 100000, but Investigations
have shown that it will require an in
vcstmcnt of approximately S750,000.
A large part of this money will be
available, according to information
received by Joseph l.. Wickcs, head of
the Traffic Bureau of the Public Ser
vice Commission, from Harry Allyn,
general manager of the Tidewater
Lines, Inc, which operates the bus
lines in Southern Maryland.
One thing that has stood in the way
of establishment of the service has
been the inability of the Tdewater
concern to establish the kind of cor
poration it wanted for handling the
service. 1t had been planned to raise
large amount of the money required
by forming separate corporations in
the ncighborhoodS to be benefited,
the Tidewater Lines to have stock in
all of them, the companies being sub
salaries of the Tidewatcr Lines.
This plan was submitted to the Pub
lie Service Commission, which obtain
ed an opinion from its general counsel,
William Cabell Bruce. Mr.. Bruce de-
cided that il couldn't be done that way
Mr.. Allyn was advised. however. that
there was no reason why any profits
should not be allocatcd to localities ac-
cording to the earnings in those local
tiles. Mr.. Allyn holds that it is ne
cessary to have considerable amount
of local subscriptions to the stock to
insure local interest.
There is some talk of the Tidewater
Lines buying out the Parran bus line
that operates between Prince Freder-
ck and Annapolis and including Cal
vert county within the scope of the
operations of the Tidcwatcr Lines. If
this is done, it is planned to divert
part of the traffic from st. Mary,S,
Charles. and Prince Georges counties,
which is now taken into Washington
by the bus line, to Baltimore by the
way of Annapolis.

Pennsylvania
Railroad Orders
Big Wages Cut

For the first time in ~ years,
the Pennsylvania Railroad We'd
nesday announced a horizontal
wage and salary reduction af-
fecting every officer and employ
&c on the entire system, from
President Rea TO the common
labOrer. The decision TO reduce
wages was made at a meeting
Of the board of directors. after
conferences among the higher
officials
The business of the railroads
has fallen of because the public
will not pay the high freight
rates, made necessary, the Rail-
roads claim. by the high scale Of
wages. Over 10000 Pennsyl-
vania Railroad men have already
been laid of. and in February
20 per cent of the earnings of
the Company were required for
labor alone. The Company says
there must be readjustment
and the sooner il is made the
sooner will il be enabled to re-
employ those who have been
laid of.

BIDS REVEAL
DROP IN COSTS
Reduction of S19, ,447.00 Shows In
One Proposal to Build Three
Miles of Highway

Gratifying reduction in costs of
road construction, as compared to
prices demanded by contractors on
the same jobs a year ago, marked the
opening of bids by the State Roads
Commission Tuesday. On one con-
tract for three miles of concrete high
way from st. Michaels to the COM
pletcd section of the Claiborne Easton

and last amounted to $l9,447. Reduc-
tions, though not so marked. wrrn
also noted in bids for work in Allie
gany and Worcester Counties.
$500 Saving Shown.
Last year the Commission received
bid of $ll6,40l.50 for the st. Mich
aclS' road. as compared to 500 ,954.50
Tuesday On the Berlin to Sclbyvillc
road, in Worcester County, to connect
the Maryland system of roads with
the dupont Highway at the Delaware
line, the bid was $l33,3l2 for 3.62
miles, as compared to $l37,636.70 in
1920. This is saving of $i,334.70.
The saving registered in 1877 miles in

While these savings were shown,
the average per mile cost, arrived at
by adding the total of "low bids" and
dividing this by the total number of
miles advertised. is approximately
S36,0O0
The Roads Commission had hoped
to get bids of around $4,000 or lower

mcr because of the prohibtive costs.

Whales Chase Fish
Into Chesapeake

Norfolk, Va, Feb Whales are
chasing fish into the Chesapeake Bay
in large numbers, according TO re-
ports made by fishermen and pilots.
Yesterday half dozen whales or
more were seen inside the Capes by
"a pilot. Large numbers of whales
have been Off the coast all winter, he
said today, so seeing a few of them
inside did not appear to him to be a
particularly noteworthy incident.
The first general report of whales
was made by Maryland pilots, who
said the big sea animals in large
numbers we're chasing herring into
the Bay. They predicted that fish in
the Bay would be plentiful and that
the herring season would be earlier
than usual as a result.
The whales in these waters are Of
the "toothcd" variety and of the type
whalcrS as "black fish" The mann
moth whales which produce CONNER
cial whalebone live on vegetable mat
ter found in the water. it is said, and
cannot eat fish.
Virginia pilots say that the type of
whale wintcring Off the Virginia
Capcs is the fish-catcr, and that their
presence inside the CapeS indicates
that the fish have been run into the
Bay.
