JUMPED HIS BOARD BILL

An Elkton hotel keeper and sew
eral other residents of that town,
would like to know the present
address of one Hubbard p, Chaplin,
of Dansville, KY Chaplin landed in

senting himself as an illustrator for
Albert Payson Terhune, and lived
in royal style at one of the best
hotels While there he was stricken
ill with appendicitis and underwent
an operation at Union Hospital.

PORT DEPOSIT FIGHTING
RAISING OF TRACKS
Would Keep Out Ice But Shut
Off View

Port Deposit has opposed the rails
ing of the tracks of the Pennsyl-
vafia Railroad through that town
until some satisfactory arrangement
is. made with the property holders.
Elevation of tracks to get over the
water level of the Conowingo dam
will require, engineers say, that the
new grade begin at Tome Station
in the center of Port Deposits best
section. The grade to the north will
be- three feet to each 1000 feet.
This will bring the height at the
county crossing four and one-half
feet above the present road.
At Port Deposit Station the new
elevation would be about seven feet
above the grade of Main street.
Midway of the upper portion of
town the track will rise to ten feet
above north Main street, and con-
tinuing at that grade will reach
fifteen feet at Rock Run, the third
station of the railroad in the town.
This will completely shut off the
view of the Susquehanna river from
residents of the north end of town.
While it will keep the ice out of
town in the spring foods, it will let
the water in and keep it in,
residents say.
The proposed elevations were out
lined at a town meeting by John f.
Roux, who introduced himself as the
representative of the P. r. r. and
the Philadelphia Electric Company,
which is erecting the dam, Mr..
Roux was given the opportunity to
explain the change in tracks and was
told by Mayor Campbell that the
matter would be considered at a
later meeting.
The sentiment. of the meeting was
reported by the Mayor to the Town
Commissioners and a letter was
addressed to the interested parties
saying that Port Deposit would not
consent to the plan at all. No
further proposition has come from
those engaged in the dam project and
the town is waiting.
Port Deposit has one street, it
once had two, but one was given to
the railroad company for its tracks.
The town is two miles long and ex-
elusive of Tome School has $500
