To RUN FERRY

BALTIMORE, Nov. 29.-Claim-
ing that commerce between the
Eastern and Western shores of
Maryland is seriously retarded"
because of the lack of efficient
transportation, Baltimore public
utility engineering firm has pro-
posed to Governor Ritchie that
the State acquire all existing
privately owned ferries and estab-
liSh a new high-frequency service
from Sandy Point, in Anne Arun-
del county. to the Eastern Shore.
Should the State approve the
proposition, the firm, Day & Zim-
norman, Inc, would submit def
mite offer to lease the ferries for
10 years or more.
Stating that he was mindful
that legislation would be neces-
sary to consummate the plan and
that the matter could be acted
upon at the present emergency
session of the general assembly,
Miles recommended that the State
not only take over all ferries, but
also construct wharf facilities at
Sandy Point and build road
from the vicinity of Jones' Station
on the Annapolis Boulevard to
Sandy Point.

$4,000 Limit Is Opposed by
Majority Of Committee;
No Action Is Taken

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 29.-Refusal
of the House Ways and Means
Committee to act today found
the administrators proposal to
limit expenditures for the spe-
cial session to $4,000 temporar-
lily blocked.
The House committee met yes
terday to consider the measure,
but it was understood that be-
cause of opposition to such q
limitation by a majority of the
committee, no action was taken.
Opponents are understood to
be of the opinion that if any
limitation is to be placed on the
amount of the 100000 appro-
priated for the special session
expenditures, it should be larger
than $4,000. They did not
specify what the sum should be.
Meanwhile, some members of
the Senate were sponsoring a
movement to expedite considera-
ton of the State liquor control
bill by seeking joint consideration
of it by the Senate Finance

to limit expenditure of funds

ects on existing roads. This
would compel the commission to

Connoisseur Of Rare Wines Had
Big Supply Since Pre-VoIstead Days.
Liquors Are Well Guarded

There is one man in this town
who doesn't give hoot whether
the District ever has legal liquor.
For his cellar is stocked with a
dizzy array of assorted wines and
cordials-champagne from South
ern France and vermouth from
sunny Italy. The entire space of
his large cellar is literally jammed
with crates and boxes and bottles
of drinks that would tickle the
palate Of the most discriminating
Of epicures.
Way back 13 years ago, Michael
E. Buckley filled every conceivable
nook and corner of his spacious
home in the 1900 block New
Hampshire Ave. N. W.. with 400
cases of wines and liquor.
Large Portion Remains
Moderation being one Of the
Buckley virtues - there are six
grown children in the family - a
good portion of the stuff remains
and will remain for many years
to come, Buckley said today.
The cellar contains every i'm
aginable form of drink, including
sparkling Burgundy, choice claret,
rum, and imported sherry. Buck
ley values the assortment at $10,-
600 at today's prices.
While all of this may seem ap-
pealing to you. it sometimes
proves pain in the neck to Buck
ley. Seldom a day passes that
someone does not call and ask
to see the wine cellar, which is
said to resemble in constr1' on
some of the subterranean liquor
Gus spots in Europe.

Hundreds OF Dollars Seized

armed colored men.
Man Shot in Back
One Of the robbers took $32
from Waters and another fired a
shot into Hatch's back. All three
fled in an automobile. Waters
drove Hatch to the Emergency
Hospital, where he was pro-
nounced dead.
Henry N. Robbins, 800 block
Twelfth st. N. W.; told police he

channels Of the cellar which is
&c feet below the surface Of the
street. After the tour of inspec-
ton they are given sip Of any
thing they chooSe-but merely a
sip.
Not that Buckley is parsimoni-
Gus but he believes by drinking
only in moderation, can one en-
JOY the real benefits intended by
nature when she produces grapes,
barley and wheat.
He Gets Laugh
It gives Buckley a laugh when
people question him about the
legality of his liquorous possession.
They forget that the now-forbid-
den fruit was stocked before the
law was passed.
Wines and liquor to Buckley,
who was at one time in the liquor
business. and now engaged in the
bonding business, are a hobby. In
fact he and another man in town
who is almost as fortunate as him
self in having a cellar stocked
with liquor get together and COM
pare notes-just as stamp collec-
tors do.
He laughs when they chide him
for his ability to name any drink
in the house slipped while blind
folded. His uncanny ability along
these lines, he says, is the result
of long years of experience.
Although the wine caller was
once broken into the thief did not
get far. Every door leading to
the Buckley house is wired with
a burglar alarm.

When building operations began
It a lively pace, demand for civic
improvement was instituted. It
was at this time that the Cleve-
land Park Citizens Association
commenced it's active career. How
ever. at the same time another
attractive development, adjoining
Cleveland Park, began to attract
the attention of suburban home
seekers. This was called Cathe-
dral Heights.
Two Organiza tiOns Merge
Soon this community had or
ganized its citizenry in the Ca
thedral Heights Citizens Associa-
ton, and as result Of the Splen-
did cooperation between the two
associations merger was effected
and the association then took the
name of the Cathedral Heights
Cleveland Park Citizens AsSocia-
ton.
Through active committee work
many improvements were secured
for the entire area. including
street paving, extension Of the
water and sewerage systems, etc.
AS conditions warranted, bus ser,
vice was inaugurated. In order to
provide adequate educational ia,
cilities the splendid 16-room John
Eaton School was erected-much
TO the satisfaction of the residents
of that area.
The association has gone on
record as favoring national repre-.
sentation for the District of Co
lumbia, as they feel that the 5000
people living within the limits of
the association should have more
power over legislative matters.
