T.uo Trains Taken off
D. M. And V Railroad

The Public Service Commission has
given the Pennsylvania Railroad per-
mission to discontinue two of the -four
daily trains on the Delaware, Mary
land and Virginia branch line which
serves Snow Hill.
Although granting the railroads re-
Guest, the commission ordered it to
continue the trains until the Federal
Government had established mail SER
vice in their place. A number of pro-
tests against the curtailment of SER
vice have been filed, most of them
saying the change would hamper mail
service.
At hearing recently, the railroad
said the Federal authorities were plan
ming to establish truck lines for the
mail, giving quicker service than i:
now given by the trains.

SAVE-A-LIFE
CAMPAIGN NOW
ON IN MARYLAND
Necessary To Have Inspection
Station On 1886 Applica-
ton Cards

Maryland's annual Save-A-Life In
spection Campaign is now well into
it's second week. It is indeed crafty
ing to note the motoring public's re-
Spouse to this request to have their
cars. inspected at their earliest pos
sible moment.
Mr.. Walter r. Rudy, Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles, State of Maryland,
said, "This is my first Save-A-Life
Inspection Campaign. It is my ear
nest desire to have the wholehearted
support of every citizen throughout
the State of Maryland to make every
effort not alone to have his automo-
bile inspected but to use unusual pre-
caution to avoid being injured while
walking through the city streets or
along country roads,"
To show the vital Importance OF
the Save-A-Life Inspection Campaign,
at the close of the campaign in 1884
the State of Maryland showed total
car inspection of better than SO per
cent. It was necessary to make steer
ing adjustments on cars to the total
number of 1928; brake adjustments
totaled 65,486; light adjustments total
ed 1O1, 5O4; horn adjustments totaled
1924; mirror adjustments 3,275; and
windshield wiper adjustments 11,461'
The total number of cars that were
ruled off the road was 447. These
cars were absolutely unfit to be on
the highways.
The campaign has approximately
two weeks to go and I want to impress
upon the public the Importance Of hav-
ing this inspection made before the
closing date of October 81. 1t is nec-
essary to have the inspection station
number on your 1886 application
blank for tags. Tags will not be is
sued unless this is done.

ton for the allotment of the money
This project calls for the construc.
ton of sewers, and involves a total
outlay of $14,542, of which sum the
town is responsible for $4884; the
Government providing $965s. Work
on this will be started about Novem-

but the actual selection of men for the
work will be in the hands of Federal

The sections of the city which will
probably be provided with sewers, is
the completion Of drainage in the
neighborhood Of the site of the propos-
ed colored school; sewers on Linden
Ave-; and also from 3rd Street to Sec
ond to correct an overflow which is
now of serious disability to residents
of that section.
While some encouragement has been
given to the other two projects-Street
grading and surfacing and the Park
proposition, these at present are in a
somewhat indefinite position and more
satisfactory information will be re-
turned later.
The Community Building PROPOSE
ton was laid before the Public Works
Administrator and no reports are yet
forthcoming. The sewer project
named above, was contracted by the
Works Progress Administration.
