OPPOSE RELOCATION OF
BRIDGE

Residents of Cecil and Hartford
counties have retained Isaac Lobe
Strauss, attorney of Baltimore, to
i stitute mandamus proceedings
against the Maryland State Roads
Commission. The purpose OF the
suit is to compel the commission to
return and maintain the Conowingo
bridge at is present site instead of
moving it three miles down stream.
The complainants, many of them
citizens of Conowingo, Berkley,
Castleton and Darlington, assert in
the bill prepared by Mr.. Strauss that
under the terms of legislative act
of 1910 the commission must retain
and maintain the bridge at its
present. site.
They have instructed Mr.. Strauss
to carry their case to the Court of
Appeals if necessary.
The nearest bridge to the north,
the complainants assert. is thirty
miles distant and the nearest to the
south, the one at Havre de Grace,
thirteen miles away.
It will be argued that as the
site of the present bridge will be
inundated when the Conowingo Dam
is completed, the commission, under
the act of 1910, may meet the
difficulty by elevating the structure.

Association having failed to get beyond the period when
men dragged ladies by the hair to caves.
The other association it contemplated will be for women
ony lust to prove capable OF running affairs
without the aid of
At all this no doubt hardhearted composing the
old association sitting back and chuckng confident that

One result the will be that the citizenship OF George
town will be well enlisted in citizens association and

better than three from the standpoint Of community
