STATE SCHOOL BUDGET
DECREASED

The Cecil County Board of Edu-
cation is In receipt of notice from
the State Department of Education
that the amount allowed in the State
budget for census and attendance
for 1927 will be $1,437 less than it
received in 1925.
The State Department claims that
the decrease is due to an increase of
10000 in the school census in Balti-
more and to reduction of $4,000
in the amount allowed in the State
budget.
Each county will receive less,
varying from $1,045 in Calvert to
$4,364 in Allegany. The total loss
to the counties is $47,702. Balti-
more city will receive $17,792
additional.

HIT AND RUN AUToIsT

Last Sunday, while Mr.. and Mrs.
J. Spencer Mulford, accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. w. W., Maxwell, were
motoring in the vicinity of Porters
Bridge a machine was seen approach
ing on the wrong side of the road,
and being driven in a reckless
manner. Mr.. Mulford turned his
car off the concrete as far as the
adjoining steep bank would allow,
but failed to clear the approaching
car. Just as his machine was
struck, another car in his rear,
driven by Samuel Harrington, swerv-
ed aside to escape collision and was
also struck by the recklessly driven
machine. All three cars were con-
siderably damaged, but the oc-
cupants luckily escaped injury, with
the exception of Mrs. Maxwell, who
was painfully bruised about the
limbs by being thrown against the
front seat. The reckless driver, ap-
parently intoxicated, proved to be
Daniel Conard, who abandoned his
machine and "beat it" for parts
unknown before the arrival of the
traffic police.

NEW POST OFFICE FOR
RISING SUN
To Be Erected On Lot In
Rear OF Public Hall
Building

Rising Sun is to have a new post
Office, furnished with modern equip
ment in every respect. The new
building will be one story, of con-
crete block construction, and will be
provided with plenty of windows for
light, as we'll as other conveniences
for those who handle the mail, in
marked contrast to the present in
adequate quarters.
1t will be erected by the Com
munity Fire Company, on their lot
directly in the rear of public hall
building, with alley-way between,
and will face on Cherry street. In
addition to giving the town suitable
quarters for it's post office it will
improve lot that for years has been
used for little else than dumping
place for trash.
The building will be 24x40 feet
in dimensions, and will afford
ample space for the proper handling
of the mail, as we'll as for the
general public.
Bids for it's construction will be
advertised at once and work begun
at an early date on the new
structure.
