August "A, 1922.
Mr. NJ. S H. Unger, Supt,
Beard of Education,
Westminster, Md.
Dear Sir
In answer to your letter of August
4th. in reference to an inspection of
the Westminster High School, this
city, beg to state that the writer has
made survey Of the walls and finds
that the west wall of the old high
school huilding has a bow of one inch
in the entire length at the top of the
rubble wall, first story level. We
find that this condition corrects itself
ut the top.
This condition apparently occurred
while walls were green due possibly
to unequal setting of mortar in as
much as the exterior course of brick
contains a dry pigment which would
tend to cause a more rapid hardening.
1t does not appear that this has had
any movement since that time. No
crack whatever has appeared.
1t is found also that the west wall /
of the new addition is three quarters
of an inch out of plumb and shows
crack in the arch over the window,
second story, north wall adjacent to !
same Neither of these walls, in the
opinion of the writer, are in any way
dangerous but it would be well to
have the arch over the second story
window. above mentioned, replaced
as the crack has loosened same.
There will be no charge for this
survey.
Yours very truly,
JOHN II. ELGEN.
The Board adjourned at 1.30 p. m.

The steamship Alameda brought us some good news; so good in fact that she might we'll be called treasure ship. Not only is another cannery to be erected immediately, but far larg- CT sum will be appropriated for Low ell creek than was formerly expected.
 Colonel Frederick Mears has wasted no time on his trip East, but has done all in his power to bring about the protection of city and government property, menaced by the stream dur ing flood periods.
 The new cannery will be under the management of former Sewardite, and will add materially to the payroll of the city, which is badly needed.
 With the construction of the propos- ed pulp mill and the other large indus tries planned, the town will once again be teeming with activity.

ATLANTIC CITY HAS SPASM
 OF MORALS OVER FATHERS

ATLANTIC CITY, Public morality on Atlantic City's famous beach will be enforced again this summer.
 Dr. c. L. Bossart, beach censor, has issued an edict banning one-piece bath suits.
 Nor can the censored mermaids con- sole themselves with rolled or half hose, but must worry along with what the public terms stockings"
 "No woman with one-piece suit can come to the beach," he declared. 'If she tries to go into the water she will be arrested
 "Women's assertions that they can swim better in a one-piece suit will make no difference. They can wear no one-piece bathing suits in Atlantic City.
 No skin tight suits for men will be tolerated, either" the Doctor said.
