Work On South
RiUer Bridge
Soon To Begir,

Construction of a bridge span
across South river, between fuckers
Landing, old Ferry road, and Taylors-
vile, was made certain today, the
County Commissioners finally award
ing the contract to the Mclean Con-
struction Company, of Baltimore, at
the full amount available under the
bond issue of $4,000. The contract
ing firm is expected to begin the pre-
liminary work within a few days and
will rush it to early completion.
The actual cost of the bridge in the
end, however, will be $4,000 greater
than the bond issue fund, and it is
understood that it will be possible to
shave that amount from the regular
fund levied for general county
bridges. The bridge will be of steel
construction and concrete decking
and will be far better structure than
would ordinarily have been the case
owing to the fact that the Mclean
Company has a large quantity of
bridge materials left from the war
period, which it was able to offer the
county at lower figure

STATES ATTORNEY
ORDERS INQUEST OF
J. H. bOLAND'S DEATH

Feeling that sufficient inquiry was
not made of the circumstances con-
nected with the death of John FL.
Boland, business man of Baltimore.
who was drowned Sunday afternoon
in the waters of Deep Creek, Mag
othy River, following O stroke of heart
failure, States Attorney James NJ.
Munroe today ordered an inquest, and,
II necessary that an autopsy be per-
formed upon the body of the man.
Mr.. Munroe detailed Police Justice
j. II. Muhly of the Fifth district, as
coroner to summon the jury of in
quest. The inquest. IL is expected,
will be held tonight at the late home
of Boland in Baltimore, where his
eody now is. Whether or not Boland
may have leen the victim of foul tao
tics, is not known, but States Attor-
ney Munroe is not at all satisfied over
the procedure in pronouncing his
death. 1t appears that no coroner or
physician of the upper county, ex-
amined Boland's body, nor was an in
quest of any sort held. The drown
ing was simply reported to Police
Justice William S. Welch, of Anna
polls, over the telephone, and that Of
fetal, acting as coroner, gave a GER
tificate of death by drowning.

HARVARD MAY MAKE
OFFER TO GLENDON
But Rowing Policy At Cam
bridge Institution Still Re-
mains Unsettled

CAMBRIDGE, MASS, July IL
Alexander II. Ladd, Jr., captain-elect
of the Harvard crew, yesterday met
with the members of the Graduate
Advisory Committee for a discussion
of the rowing situation at the univer-
sity. The meeting was held at the
Boston law offices of Robert F. Her.
rick, chairman of the committee.
That no formal steps were taken re-
garding the policy for the coming
year was the statement made after
the meeting by Francis Lee Higgin-
son, former captain, and member of
the committee.
1T was perfectly informal gather
ing at which Captain-elect Ladd met
the members of the graduate body"
Mr.. Higginson said. when a man
takes up a new job he naturally
wishes to become better acquainted
with those to be associated with him.
That was the object of the session."
1t is generally understood, however,
that DR.. r. Heber Howe, director of
rowing. will not be the active coach
next season. but will retain his posi-
tion as director
This is partially the wish of the
doctor. The rowing committee is be-
lieved to be seriously considering an
offer of the post to Richard Glendon.
who has coached with such great sue
cess at Annapolis. If such an offer is
made, it is expected that Glendon will
insist that he be given absolute power
in coaching and selecting the crew.
Whether the Harvard rowing authori-
ties will agree to this is uncertain,
but they face graduate disgust with
the situation, which has prevailed for
number of years, and may try a new
tack. 1t was this opposition to allow
him to be in sole command that lost
Harvard the late Charles Courtney.
Glendon is now at his home in Chat
ham, where he has vast cranberry
bogs, and is said to be comfortably
fixed from their incomel

One Job Dispensed With
The Council did not. and will not.
fill the vacancy created by the death
several weeks ago of William Farrell,
for 25 years fireman and janitor of the
Independent Fire Company. This will
mean a saving to the city of 81 ,020
per year, which was the salary for the
position. The duties we're confined
chiefly to caring for the old steam fire
engine in case of its need at fire. In
connection with the position, George
F. Quaid, spokesman for a committee
OF the Independent firemen, stated to
the Council that the city has no need
for such an official now. as occasions
for the use of the engine have been
rare in the last three years since the
fire department now Is completely
motorized. 1t was suggested that in
the event of calling it into use in
case of big fire there are at least
/ two members of the company either
of whom could handle the apparatus,
and pay could be at a stipulated
amount per call.
For Revision OF City Code
The Council passed an order call
| ing for a re-codification of the City
Code by City Counselor Riley and an
appropriation OF $400 or as much
thereof as necessary, be allowed for
the work. Upon motion, Mayor Jones
appointed Aldermen Douw and Strange

sist the counselor in the revision OF
city ordinances or laws.

for the special bond issue election OF

tract for laying a sewer on Clay

called to the bad condition in the
waters of Spa Creek between Taney
and Southgate avenues, resulting from
the sewer there. 1t was suggested
that the sewer be extended 20 feet
