State Roads Commission Will Soon
Begin Prepatory Work On This
Important Highway
CONSTRUCTION EXPECTED
TO START In THE SPRING

The editor of the Worcester Demo
crat has it from the very best author
ity that the work of replacing the
grade stakes along the unfinished gap
in the Pocomoke- Stockton State
Highway will be commenced in a
very short time. AS matters now
stand it is expected that this work
will be started in about three weeks.
This would indicate. that it will be
but the matter of a few weeks be
fore bids for the construction of TIE
highway will be asked for. AS is well
known, the road has already been
surveyed and the stakes were set
some time ago, but for some reason
>r other the work was abandoned.
Hence the re-staking proposition.
With this information we also
learned that it was possible that only
two miles of the gap-beginning at
the Pocomoke City end-would b..
re-staked at this time. According to
this it would seem that there might
be an uncertainty as to the building
of the entire gap at this time, a fact
that would be very much disapproved
by the residents in both of the towns
as well as all persons who reside q
long the line and the thousands CT
others who use this public thorough
fare.
With these facts in view it woul,
seem wise for our peope to get busy
in the premise and see if the authori-
ties cannot be persuaded to complete
the entire job during the approaching
spring and summer. Let any and al
who have weight with the officials
make it point to use their influence
in this direction. We believe the au~
thorities, if properly approached. will
listen to our claims and include the
entire gap in their construction pro-
gram this year.
We have every reason to make the
claim. This section of road was
started several years ago and we havH
seen it neglected time and time again
in order that other sections of much
less Importance might be construct
ed. 1t connects two of the most i'm.
portant towns in the county and pas
ses through a section that really
needs improvement. We are firmly
of the opinion that the road, when
completed will be used more than any
section of highway in this vicinity
Even in it's unimproved condition it is
much used thoroughfare and it is
not right that it's improvement shoulc
be longer delayed. Pocomoke peorle
want it completed; and the residents
in all sections of lower Worcester
want it completed. The time to strike
is when the iron is hot. It's hot now
let's strike.

LEGISLATURE PASSES
MANY BILLS This WEEK
Increased Representation For Balti-
more City Measure Passed By
The Senate.

The Legislature of Maryland has
been in session the entire week, hold
ing sessions each and every day frcri
Monday until Friday, inclusive. That
much was accomplished this week
goes for the saying. At every ses-
sion quite number of bills were in
troduced and many minor measures
passed. Of course many bills are
awaiting consideration, and in the
number are several Administration
measures, which were presented ut
the first of the session. These are
the most important measures that
the Legislature will have to consider.
and that most of them will have easy
sailing when they get started on their
journey is the consensus of opinion
at the capitol.
The bill that met with the most op-
position this week was that which
provides for increased representation
for Baltimore city. After much de-
batting this bill was passed by the
Senate by a 10 to vote and was M
mediately sent to the House for az
ton there. This measure is said 0
be unpopular with the county men,
bers, yet they feel that it is a part
of the State platform, and those who
believe in the keeping of platform
pledges, it is felt, will line UP behind
the bill and help to secure its pas
sage. Of course it will have to y,
ratified finally by the people of TIE
entire State before it can be written
into the Constitution.

DAMAGE TO OCEAN
CITY WAS SLIGHT
Maryland's Only Ocean Resort Once
More Survives Northeaster.
Sea Wall Very Effective.

Much anxiety was felt by Pocomoke
people as to how Ocean City had
Jared during the storm which swept
the Atlantic coast last Friday and
Saturday. AS the town had been cut
off from outside communication fol
two days, it was at first thought that
great damage had been done, but
word was finally received Monday that
the storm did but little damage.
Wetipquin Hall and Zeiter cottage
were slightly damaged by having
their foundations undermined, and
the seawall, built at intervals for c
half mile by individual property
owners, was said to be very effectiv
in preventing further damage.
The cable which carries the Wes-
tern Union and Chesapeake and Po-
tomac wires across Sinepuxent ba
was carried away by ice, but was re-
paired on Monday, so as to make conf
munication by wire possible.
Those who watched the mountain
Gus waves as they pounded upon the
shore said the town was doomed -
destruction, but change of wind
providently occurred and carried the
heavy seas down the beach, where
they found an outlet in the inlet tha
was formed three vars ago.

108 persons are dead and more than
100 others injured as a result of thu
cave-in of the roof of the Knicker,
booker theatre in Washington, D. C
last Saturday night. The heavy fa;
of snow on the roof, together Will
probably weak part in the support
ing structural steel, is given as this
cause for the collapse.
The theatre, which accommodate
eapse to 1000 persons, was said to b
comfortably filled at the time, an,
the roof as it fell imprisoned hur
dreds under the mass of wreckag
The balcony collapsed also, while COZ
crete pillars fell over, to add theil
weight to the debris under which tn.
wounded lay groanlng.
No warning was given as the wall
crashed, the roof breaking in on TIL;
heads of the spectators with nois'
like thunder and crushing seats anC
occupants as it fell. 1t was mor'
than an hour before the rescuers, rs
ing gas torches to cut through the ac
cumulated mass of steel and con
crete, reached the section where mos
of the dead and injured were.
