try's prosperity. With Miltiades uobly
and successfully contending against
a host of Persian invaders; with Leo

BIDS FOR BRIDGE
WORK TOO HIGH
Contractors Also Fail To Comply
With Proposals And Specifica-
tons AS Advertised

Because the bids for building a new
steel structural bridge across Lyons
Greek near McKendree in the Eighth
district. and for repairs to Weems'
Creek, West Annapolis, were either
too high. or not submitted In accord
sance with specifications, the Board of
County Commissioners, in session yes
terday. decided to reject all the bids
AS to the Lyons Greek bridge. o. E.
Sherbert submitted bid of S27.50
per cubic foot for the abutment work,
and the American Bridge, Company
submitted bid 10 deliver the steel
material at $400 fob, while the Ches-
apeake Iron Works presented a bid
for delivering and placing the steel in
position for S9O5. In view of the fact
that the bidders did not entirely COM
ply with the proposals and specifca-
tions, the matter was referred TO COM
missioner Armiger7 and Engineer Hay
man, for further consideration.
Only one bid was received for the
work on Weems Creek bridge, that
of John Knadler at s51 per span. This
the commissioners regarded as too
high as they have had such work
done at $50.
The Commissioners have received
petition signed by a large number Of
taxpayers of the Eighth district urg-
ing the Board TO open public road
leading from Owings Beach, 70 con-
nect with the comfy road leading to
Tracey's Landing and Churchton.
The Commissioners granted the re-
quest of Police Patrolman Samuel A
Jones. of Eastport, for leave of alb
sence for Is days, beginning August
90 In the interim, the deputy sheriff
of the Second district will assume the
duties of patrolman. III

IRELAND WILL NOT
ACCEPT TERMS AS
OFFERED BY BRITAIN

DUBLIN. IRELAND. Aug. II. -
Eamon De Valera. Irish Republican
leader. declared today that the Bail
Eireann would not accept the terms
profered by Premier Lloyd-George,
said TO contain an offer OF Dominion
status. Mr. De Valera made this dec
laration at the second session of the
Bail Elreann held in the mansion
house TO take up the question of ne
gotiations with England for the free
dom or Ireland
From the reports this morning in
the British and foreign press" said
Mr.. De Valera, there seems TO be
doubt as TO what our attitude is to-
wards the British proposals, there
seems 10 be doubt as TO what | have
said. or as TO whether We meant what
was said in our letter, or not. There
should be no, doubt. We cannot and
will not on behalf of this nation ac-
cept these terms.
1T is said we are offered the status
OF dominion homo rule for Ireland
the status of the British dominion.
Ireland is offered no such thing. The
statement that Ireland is offered
dominion rule contains two false
hoods. Where is Ireland? There, is
no ireland in the terms, but wo
broken pieces of Ireland. What was
offered was not even dominion status.
Ii was admitted the dominions had
the right 10 secede and could get out
il they desired We are told we must
stay in whether we like it or not
