CHOPTANK BRIDGE TO
BE OPENED VERY SOON

Work on the bridge across the Chop
tank river between Talbot and Dor
chester counties is progressing fast.
In about a weeks time the concrete
on the road bed is expected to be COM
pleted.
The bridge was started about year
ago, and in that time, said one of the
contractors, there were but 5 days
when the workmen were unable to
work. Last week the contractor start
ed work painting the steel beams and
Orders. Much care is exercised in
this work, for the concrete pillars and
piers will be married if any paint gets
on them. These pillars will be scrub
bed and made to look white, and the
steel Orders will be painted white on
the second coat.
C. S. Passarts & Co., New York
were awarded the contract. A repre-
sentative of the firm said that it will
require 2,27O gallons of paint. A large
part of this is already on hand. About
fourteen men will be required to do
the work at $1.10 an hour.
The paint cannot be sprayed on, said
the representative, on account of the
pillars. Brushes four inches wide will
be used. These men will probably take
until the latter part Of October to fin
ish.

The horse galloped off toward the
barn but when his master did not rise
from the ground he returned and tried
his best to lift the youth by pulling at
his clothes. Neighbors, seeing the
strange actions of the horse, investi-
gated and found the injured boy.
He was carried to the Emergency
Hospital, Easton, where the broken
limb was set and he was returned
home Monday afternoon, believing
that Major John was just about the
smartest horse and best pal in all the
world.

Mayor Latiner
Has Race Man
Office Assistant

For the first time in the history
of Minneapolis, a member of the
group is part of the official staff
of the mayor. Shortly after TAX
ing office, Mayor Thomas E. Lati-
mer named Hobart T. Mitchell a
member of his office staff. Mitchell
was active in the late campaign,
leading the colored workers in the
Latimer campaign.
Although representations had
been made to many candidates for
mayor for such position, this is
the first time any of them has seen
fit to make a Negro a part of his
official family. In many of the
principal cities of the country, the
Negro office assistants are among
the most trusted and valued en-
ployees of the various mayors Of
fees.

COUNCIL MEETS FOR LAST TIME
 BEFORE VOTING
City Fathers to Hold Final 1934-35 Session Tonight
 Bids to Be Read

Pending results of the April 2 election, Mayor Isadore Goldstein and the City Council will sit down together for what may be the last time in official regular session to- night at 8 o'clock in City Hall.
 For tonight's meeting of the Council is the final one before the terms of three councilmen and the Mayor expire. Of course, those four incumbents are now up for reelection, and may be chosen again-but tonight will be their final get-together as the 1934-35 Council.
 Of course, another exception may occur if the City Fathers de- eide to hold special meeting be- fore April ?.
 Principal business to be con- ducted tonight will be the opening of bids on the paving of 6,l4O square feet of concrete sidewalk on both sides of Main Street from Front Street to Sixth Street. The contract will be awarded tonight under the city's Public Works Ad- ministration grant.
 Second, the Council probably will decide what part the city off, cially, will take in the opening of Juneau's newly constructed airport and the inauguration of the Pa cific Alaska Airways Juneau-Fair- banks passenger route on April 2. Mayor Goldstein was requested by the Chamber of Commerce yes- terday to name committee to work with the Chambers group for a gala celebration.
 Finally, the Council probably will appoint judges and clerks in the three precincts for the coming mu- nicipal voting.
