AS usual, the Prince Rupert was an hour or more behind her sailing schedule last Sunday because of the large volumn of freight to be unloaded. The outgoing passenger list was exceptionally full and th,; activity on the wharf was greater than on any previous trip of the ship. Every passenger however, with the exception of the round trippers" who came in, intends re- turning, so their departure caused no tears to be shed.

CITY AUTHORITIES
PUBLISH STATEMENT
Some Interesting Figures Given Our
Citizens Concerning Our
City's Finances.

In another column of this issue
will be found Il statement of the
towns finances frcm April /, 1920 to
April l, 1921. To be sure this state
ment is little late in reaching the
rublic's attention but it is gratefully
& ceived, nevertheless. Of course
,..tters OF this kind are "better late
han never" And in saying this we
10 not wish to be understood as crit
>isjng at all. for this is not our in
tention.
We are sure the figures will be
studied carefully by our citizens and
that they will prove interesting read
ing matter. We are also confident
that the taxpayers will congratulate
the town authorities upon the good
showing they have made and will wish
them continued success in the mat
ter of the towns business. 1t will be
Interesting to know that the sum o.
about 100000 is raised annually foc
the maintenance Of our city. This i.
d matter that possibly never entered
into the minds of our people. And
the expenditure of sucE sum (the
judicial expenditure is no small mat
ter. There are number of just
Gains upon d town the size of ours
and it takes good financing to keen
the town abreast of the times upon
the amount that is realized. Some
times we fear that we criticise our
town authorities too severely. They
are human just as the rest of US are
human, and when they have done their
part we should give them the credit
that is due them.
The present fiscal year closes today
and in short time they will publish
another statement giving figures up
TO date. Let US hope that it will be
I. good showing and that as these an
nual statements are given to our tax
payers they will be better as the
years come and go.

PRINCESS ANNE PAPER
WAS SOLD LAST WEEK
Marylander And Herald Formerly
Owned By W. H. Dashiell Bought
By Salisbury Man.

Walter j. Brewington, of Salisbury,
has purchased the Marylander and
Herald, weekly paper, from the es-
tate of the late William H. Dashiell.
of Princess Anne. The sale was clos
ed last week and it is understood that
Mr.. Brewington will take charge of
the paper about the middle of April.
The sale includes the land and build
ing as well as the printing plant and
good will of the newspaper.
The Marylander ana Herald is the
only county newspaper published at
Princess Anne. 1t is one of the old
est county journals in the State. As
The present title indicates, it is a
combination of the old Somerset
Herald which was established in 1928,
and the Marylander !, which was es
tablished in 1862. Mr.. Dashiell pur-
chased the Marylander from the late
Col. Ephraim G. Polk in 1896, and in
1897 combined the paper with the
Somerset Herald, which was then
owned and edited by the late Charles
Wesley Fontaine. The paper was
tnreafter known as the Marylander
and Herald, and was published by Mr..
Dashiell and Mr.. Fontaine jointly un-
til 1906, at which time Mr.. Dashieli
became the sole owner.
The purchaser of the paper, Mr..
Brewington, is a son of the late Har-
r. l.. Brewington and a nephew of
the late Senator Marion V. Brewing
ton, of Salisbury, and has beer en-
gagged in newspaper work all of his
LIFE, having been associated with his
father and uncle in the publication OF
the Wicomico News.-Salisbury Adj
vertiser.

1922 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
WILL END MONDAY NIGHT
Closing Week Has Been A Busy One For Assemblymen
Much Important Work Accomplished.

Another bill that was of much in
terest to the people Of the State was
killed in the House on Wednesday af
! ternoon. We refer, to the Fewer Elec
tons Bill. 1t, of course, was i'll tbs
shape of a Constitutional Amendment
and failed because of lack of con.
stitutional majority. On Thursday
afternoon, however, a motion was
made to reconsider Wednesdays vote
and the measure was passed by vot
Of II to 81.
While the axe was sharp it was al
so applied to the maternity bill in the
House on Wednesday. The clinchci
was placed upon it and it went to the
grave yard.
With only one vote against it the
State Department of Education's bill
passed the Senate Tuesday afternoon
nd is now awaiting the signature of
the Governor. The dissenting vote
as that of Senator David A. Robb
of Allegany county. In casting his
ballot he made bitter attack upon
the measure. All of the other Sena-
tors VINO had previously fought the
bill voted for it on its third reading.
The House will have several knot
y questions before it during the re,
mainder of the week. The one of the
most Importance is the State Budget.
1t is expected to arrive almost any
time from across the hall and when it
Goes get on the House file there is ev
identity going to be something doing.
Some of the members of the lower
house expect to try to amend it in
several particulars and it is quite GER
tain that much time will be spent be-
fore it is finally passed. Whether
there are votes enough to make the
changes that are desired it is hard to
state at this time. One thing we do
know, and that is there is a storm "a
Eedu ol IL,
The House is also looking for TIE
Norris Race Track Bill at any NON
ent. The Anti-racetrack forces are
trying to line their forces up to kill
this bill and this will mean that the
State will continue to operate under
the Burke Bill, the very one that the
Ants have been fighting all the ses-
sion. 1t is safe to state that there is
storm ahead of this bill also and no
one can forecast results.
Miss Mary f. Risteau, the only wo-
man in the General Assembly of
Maryland, Is receiving congratula-
tions upon her appointment by Gov
ernor Ritchie as a member of the
State Board of Education in the place
of the late Wm. T. Warburton. Miss
Ristau is experienced in this branch
Of work and If woman was to he an
