PerryvlIIe Bridge Under Discussion.

PerryvlIIe Bridge Under Discussion.
80 Baltimore
Men interested in the sale of the
Havre de Grace-Perryville bridge to
the State held long meeting In the
offices of Attorney General Armstrong
with the special Bridge Commission
appointed by the last Legislature.
This Commission comprises John
N. Mackall, chairman of the State
Roads Commission, chairman; Will
liam M. Maloy, chairman Of the Pub
lie Service Commission, and Attorney
General Armstrong. Among those
present in behalf of the bridge com
pany were former State Senator
Thomas H. Robinson, of Hartford coun-
ty, s. C. Rowland and Mike" Fahey,
of Havre de.Grace.
There were also present two engi-
neers-W Walter Hopkins, bridge engi-
neer. of the State Roads Commission,
representing the special commission,
and John e. Greiner for the bridge
owners.
The conference devoted itself ITO a
consideration of the valuation Of the
bridge made by the two engineers.
While no statement to this effect was
made by any Of the conferees. the I'M
derstanding is that the States Falua-
ton Of the property is about $500, 900.
This is 100000 less than the figure
(ess a discount Of $10,000) at which
the bridge company offered the prop
erty to the State.
1t would seem likely that the State
will buy the existing bridge, assum.
ing that the discrepancy in the two
valuations can be arranged, rather
than erect a new highway bridge over
the Susquehanna.
The bill for the purchase OF the
Havre de Grace-P errSville bridge oc
casioned what was perhaps the most
bitter If not the longest fight in the
last House of Delegates. Stephen W..
Gambrill, majority floor leader, and
William Purnell Hall, Delegate from
Baltimore city and thorn in the side
of the administration, joined hands
in the effort to defeat the bill as it
passed the Senate, where it had been
introduced by Senator Tydings, of
Hartford, now Democratic candidate
in the Second Congressional district
The bill originally provided that the
State purchase the bridge for the fat
sum of $690,00O. As amended in the
House and finally passed, the meas
ure made $69O,000 the maximum price,
thus allowing the special commission
leeway in negotiating.

French Ship Escapes Storms by
Taking Southern Course;
La BOurdOnnais Sails

The French liner Niagara. which ar
rived here yesterday afternoon. came
over the extreme southerly course Of
the North Atlantic steamship lane and
consequently escaped the full force Of
the hurricanes that have wrought
havoc with shipping the last few days.
The liner, however, was delayed forty
eight hours by the rough seas that
fringed the storm centers.
The Niagara left Bordeaux December
I6. When she was two days out OF that
port Captain Paul Buyck, her COM
mander, declared she encountered the
rough seas which slowed her down
until four days ago, when she pro
ceeded at her usual speed. The liner
was constantly in communication with
La Savoie, the French ship that arrived
Wednesday bearing gears Of the tenn
nests, and at one time when the latter
was making three knots, Captain
Buyck said the Niagara, slower ship,
was logging six knots.
