LET BRIDGE CONTRACTS
Much Concerned at Cost
Bills But See No
Remedy

No action was taken at yesterdays
session of the Board of County Com
missioners on the matter of a revis-
ion of tolls on the St. Johns river
bridge, it being decided to delay this
matter until another meeting. Com
missioner Burt submitted figures
showing that all records for collec-
ton of tolls on the bridge were brok-
EN- during the month of November,
total of 81, $500 being collected.
The board opened bids for the con-
struction of two bridges on the road
between Bostwick and Bardin across
Etoniah and Sims lreeks. Some time
ago the post Office department advis-
ed the commissioners that unless
these bridges were constructed it
would be forced to discontinue the
rural route in that section. The con-
tract for building the bridges was
awarded to Js1H. Conway for $3.50.
Twho other bids were submitted, the
next lowest, by Mattox & Roberts
being $4,000 and the highest by Null
lis Bros, being $4,000.
Much Concern at Costs
The board was much concerned at
the cost bills submitted in criminal
cases, a majority oil which were for

BABE RUTH LOSES ALL
OF HIS WORLD SERIES
MONEY THROUGH FINE
Judge Lands Shows He
Is Bigger Than the
Bambino
nv AssocIateG Pressl

Chicago, Dec. 5-The bad news for
Babe Ruth, worlds champion home
run hitter with the New York Yam
KEGS, broke today. Ruth was fined
his world series prize amounting to
$S,862.26 and suspended until May,
20, of the 1922 season by Judge Lam
dis, commissioner of baseball, for
participating in exhibition games
following the close of the worlds
series.
Outfelder Bob Meusel and Pitcher
William Pierey, also members of the
Yankees, who participated in the
barn storming trip with Ruth drew
substantially the same penalty.
Pitcher Piercey's fine was $100 less
than the other two players as his
share of the worlds series was that
much less than the other players.
The suspension of Ruth, for at
least the first month of the American
League pennant race practically
means, baseball observers pointed
out tonight, that the New York slug,
ger will have little chance of break,
ing his hmoe run record next season
| Under the ruling Ruth may apply fol
reinstatement May 20.

world, rests as the most important

Ry Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 5-Congress re-
assembled today with the usual for
NAL ceremonies of new session and
with its legislative course fairly
well charted. The opening program
was routine however, and was viewed
by smaller crowds than customary.
Interest in general was subordinated
by President Harding's address which
will be delivered at joint session at
1890 tomorrow. His recommended
tions were expected to deay princi-
pally with tariff revision, government
economy and development of the Fed
eral budget system.
Leaders expressed the hope tonight
of completing work by midsummer
but faced the possibility of the ses-
sion continuing until fall With the
biennial congressional elections
next November much politics was re-
garded as assured for this session.
One of the features of toda!'s
opening was the receipt from Presi'
dent Harding of the first federal ap,
preparation estimates prepared un-
der the new budget law. The budget
proposed for the 1928 fiscal year was
$S,5O5, 100000 a decrease of nearly
$500, 100000 from the 1922 outlay
and of more than two billion from
current expenditures.
