WET WEATHER STOPS
OUTDOOR AND FARM WORK

The weather during the past week
has bee such as to seriously interfere
with all outside work. Work on the
construction of the new roof-garden,
land clearing. farming and gardening,
was entirely suspended part Of the
time and the heavy rainfall put the
roads into an almost impossible con-
dition, making it extremely difficult to
bring logs and wood for use in the mill.
AS consequence the weatherman,
who is always held responsible in a
case of this kind. is keeping out of
sight. The official report is as follows:
Temperatures for the week ending
February u:
Feb. 2l-Max. IS Min. 50
Feb. 22-Max. II Min. 90
Feb. 23-Max. IS Min. so
Feb. 24-Max. "a Min. 49
Feb. 25-Max. so Min. 46
Feb. 26-Max. so Min. ~
Feb. 27-Max. So Min. As
The barometer would indicate nor
NAL temperature, rains the first part Of
the week and an indication of some
fair weather the end Of the week. How
ever. cloudiness with rains seems to
have the right-of-way."

slider the question Of how the service

trolleys, trucks and the realroad, to
avoid overlapping. And these three agen-
cies co-ordinating or are they working
at cross-purposes?
Other questions which may be consid-
cred are the cost of taxation per ton
mile on railroads and the same for troll
leys and trucks; and whether or not
truck transportation should be subject
ed to supervision and required to make
reports the same as trolleys and rail-

Mr. Halliday, representing the rail-
roads, pointed out that his company had
to help pay for the right-ofway for a
competing line, while Mr.. Skerritt, repre-
senting the trucking interests, replied
that the trucks are already taxed to help
pad for their right of sway.
The main question to be considered by
the committee in the end is what, If

several districts of the county for pur-
poses of propagation during the sum-
mer season. The birds were part OF a

deputies for the several outlying dis
tricts, under whose supervision they
were liberated. The number distrib-
uted in Anne Arundel this year is
about 200 fewer than in 1921. This,
however, is in accordance with the
provisions of the law for the propa-
cation of birds and game. enacted by
the Legislature several years ago, it
being provided that the number of
birds for stocking the fields should be
reduced each year.

REV. 7. P. HOLLOWAY
FORMER LOCAL PASTOR,
DIES AT NEWARK, N. ]

The many Annapolis friends of Rev
Thomas P. Holloway, Baptist minister
will regret to learn of his death,
which occurred few days ago at his
home in Newark, \. ].
II was largely through the untiring
efforts of Mr.. Holloway that the con-
gregation of College Avenue Baptist
Church. this city, was enlarged. and
that funds were secured for the cree
ton of the handsome church edifice on
College avenue. He was the prime
mover in this regard and worked un-
ceasingly when others were about TO
give up hope. This was over IL years
ago.
Mr. Holloway served as pastor of
the church for four years and endear-
ed himself not only to the members of
his congregation. but also gained a
large circle of friends in the city. At
ter leaving Annapolis he took up min
isterial work in other fields and in re-
cent years he had served as secretary
of the New Jersey Baptist Convention.
He was about 60 years old, and his
death was due to pneumonia, accord
ing TO information that has been re-
ceived by friends here.
