Landreth L. Layton, of Georgetown,
was adopted:
Resolved by the Del-MarVa Eas-
tern Shore Association that the rec
concentrations made by the commit
tee appointed to consider the mat
ter of applications of the Peninsula
Auto Express Company and the Bal
timore Transfer Company with the
Public Service Commission of Mary

liam D. Corddry be authorized and
requested to attend the hearing to
be held by the Public Service Com
mission on May 20, 1880, for the
purpose of opposing the granting of
the franchise asked for by the Pen
insula Auto Express Company and
the Baltimore Transfer Company"
Dr. Paul E. Ellsworth, Chairman
of the Special Committee on the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge project re-
ported that this committee has been
working diligently on the project
but finds itself handicapped by
lack of time to investigate the sit
uation as thoroughly as they felt
necessary because of the vital inn
portance of the issue. He suggested
that the report of the committee be
postponed until it has obtained fur
ther data which is expected within
the coming week. This was agreed
to and the committee will report to
the Executive Committee and Board
of Governors as soon as the mater
ial is obtained.
Ralph H. Grier, Chairman of the
Special Committee which conferred
with Dr.. Hugo Eckener, Commander
of the Graf-Zeppelin, and Jerome c.
Hunsaker, of the Goodyear-Zeppelin
Corporation, presented an impress
sive and most interesting report to
the effect that the information re-
ouested is being gathered. He has
conferred during the past week with
Commander Hunsaker and the Asso-
citation instructed his committee to
proceed to obtain the data desired,
even if necessary to secure equip
ment for self-registering wind We
locity.
Edwin C. TOtten, Executive Secre-
tary, presented a detailed report OF
the Associations activities during
the past year and the program for
the present year, which was receiv-
ed and accepted. The treasurer's re-
port showed the association to be
clear of Indebtedness and urged dill
atory members to prevent interfer-
ence with the program by making
prompt payments of subscription
pledges.
Daniel N. Casey, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, at Harris
burg, Pa, was the speaker of the
meeting. He delivered an inspira-
tional and very impressive address
on organization work and the need
of it in regional development. His
address made unquestiOnable i'm
preston to the extent that he was
given a voluntary rising vote of ap-
proval.
