HITS AT TAXI BUSINESS
ElktOn Ordinance Makes 1t
Unlawful To Solicit We'd
ding Couples On The
Streets OF Town

Following numerous com
plants about taxicab drivers
soliciting wedding couples on
the streets of Elkton, the Town
Council has passed new ordi-
nance which makes it unlawful
for any person to engage in the
practice on the streets of Elk
ton, and provides a fine of from
$40 to $50, or a sentence not
exceeding twenty days in jail
for the first offense.
The new ordinance super
sedes a law of several years
standing, which was aimed at
the same practice, but which
was unenforceable through
|technicalities, and goes into
effect at once.
When several of the nearby
States passed marriage license
laws some years ago, placing
waiting clauses in them after a
license had been procured, it
opened Maryland as a Gretna
Green and the marriage bust
ness steadily grew, especially
in Elkton, because it was close
to Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Delaware. 1t resulted in
some of the taxicab drivers de-
voting most of their time to
wedding couples.
Several years ago, in order to
get around the Maryland law,
which prohibits elergymen
from paying tips to have we'd
ding couples brought to them
to be married, the taxicab COM
bine, as it is commonly known,
hired a clergyman to do the
marrying for them. They re-
ceived the fees paid by the
parties who were married.
When times were good it is
reported that the combine OBJ
tanned from $500 to $500 a
week. In the last two years,
however, the business is report
ed to have fallen off. Besides,
there are now three clergymen
who devote most of their time
to marrying couples, they hav-
ing no churches to serve.
The new ordinance practi-
cally puts out of business eight
street runners, four taxicab
drivers and three marrying
parsons.

ANNUAL FLOWER FESTI-

of the Home Demonstration
Agent, at Elkton, on Aug. 81,
sixteen members of Home
makers Clubs made plans for
the annual Cecil County Flow
er Festival to be held in the

and 3.
1t was decided to continue
having the premium list and
ribbons, as last year, and to
have the bake sale and Japa-
nese tea garden, selling tea and
oatmeal cookies for the sum of
ten cents. Each Club is to con-
tribute twenty dozen cookies,
which will be five people to
make one batch each.
The committee would like all
members to send or bring pot
ted plants and cut flowers to
enter in the open classes. Per-
haps you will feel that yours
are not good enough to bring,
but bring them just the same,
you may get a prize. If you do
not probably you will say, when
you see the plants at the show,
81 had some as good or better
than those" So bring them
along.
Mrs. A. Baus, chairman of
the committe, has asked each
club to have three Japanese
gardens, four ferneries, and at
least five specimns of still life.
Each member started a geran-
ium slip which will also be
used in the show. A space four
feet by six feet has been given
to each club to make a corner
of a garden featuring water.
Whatever you would like to
put in this space to make it
look like a corner of a garden,
using water in some part, eth
er as a pool, falls or in some
way. Ask your friends to send
their flowers too. This is not
only for Homemakers but for
EVERYBODY!
