DUAL HIGHWAY FOR
BYPASS ABANDONED

The proposal for dual highway for
the Salisbury bypass has been aban-
doned by the Mayor and Council and
the State Roads Commission as i'm
practical, within the Salisbury cor
porate limits. Whether the dual high
way will be built south of the cor
porate limits remains for later deter
mination.
Plans for the section of bypass to
be constructed within the city limits
from the southern boundary to East
Main Street now revert to the former
proposition of Sc foot concrete road
way, it was stated.
Abandonment of the dual highway
plan was made after consideration had
been given to the possible commercial
and industrial development along the
highway, within the city, rather than
residential subdivisions.
The coming ordinance recently en-
acted designates strip on both sides
of the Pennsylvania Road tracks as
commercial or industrial areas. With
in the corporate limits, the proposed
route of the bypass lies adjacent to
the railroad right of way for at least
half of the distance.
A dual road, with grass strip in the
center, would not permit the diagonal
parking of large motor trucks. That
position is necessary for unloading
purposes. 1t was also pointed out
that one or more railroad sidings
might be built paralleling the east
side of the road, if the roadside prop
erty is sufficiently developed COM
mercially. Il
The Mayor and Council and the
State Roads Commission have under
study a mutual pact which, when
signed, will guarantee construction of
the bypass when the right of way has
been obtained. The right Of way with
the Mayor and Council and the State
in the city limits must be acquired by
Roads Commission has agreed to ap-
propriate not more than $4,000 to-
ward the cost.
With the acquisition of the right of
way, DR. Tabler has said the Commits
sion will proceed at once with con-
struction.

THRILLING BATTLE IN
CHESTERTOWN STREETS

Residents of Water Street, Chester
town, Md, aroused Wednesday even
ing as a real "cat and dog fight" took
place between Tom Foley's CANNES
and Miss Jean Klinefelter's cat. The
cat made noble stand as long as it
lasted, and tried to make friends with
the dogs but apparently with little
success. Being outweighed by two
st. Demands the cat lasted but scant
8 rounds. From an interview with
Bill Collins, the writer learned the
cats name was RUSTY" and was bur-
led in Riverside Terrace Cemetery"
The owner took its passing very calm
ly and declined to accept when an
other cat was offered her.
The name of the undertaken has
been withheld.

PAUL WILKINSON DIES
AT GENERAL HOSPITAL

Paul Wilkinson, about 30, died at
the Peninsula General Hospital around
midnight Tuesday and James Ralph,
about 40 is being held in the Wicomi-
CO county Jail in connection with his
death.
Ralph, an old offender with. long
pilice record and who at the Septem-
Der, 1885, term of Court was senten-
ced to II months in the Maryland
House of Correction on charges of OBJ
'structing an officer in the perform
ance of his duty is said by authorities
to have gotten into an argument with
Wilkinson, on Sunday night last at the
filling station-beer tavern of "Bil"
Mcnamara on North Division street
beyond the overhead bridge.
The dead man, it is said, was in
vited out by Ralph, who, police say,
admits striking him couple of times.
Wilkinson is said to have gotten to
the home of John Harris, Spring Hill
road, where he lived, about midnight
and after telling Harris that he had
had ''the h. beat out of him" retired.
Hearing a noise in the yard about S
A. M. Tuesday Harris is said to have
found Wilkinson, laying face down.
ward, unconscious and he was carried
to the hospital.
He is said to have received injuries
about the face which affected the
spinal column and proved fatal. DR..
L. A. Rademaker was directed by au-
thorities to make post-mortem ex-
animation.
Ralph, who was arrested by city po-
lice, was held before Wilkinson's
death, according to States Attorney
Rex A. Taylor, on charge of assault
with intent to kill. He was put under
$4,000 bond. He is now being held
pending the findings of coroner's
jury impaneled by Marion Humphreys,
acting as coroner, of which eX-Mayor
E. Sheldon Jones is foreman, which
after viewing Wilkinson's body at the
hospital morgue recessed until 9 A.
M, Friday last.

past office were very much surprised
when they entered the old post office
building to find that everything had
been moved to the new building on
Dover Street with the exception of
some mail in the lock boxes. Word
was received by Postmaster Bray to
open the new office Monday morning
and from Saturday night on the en-
ployees were kept busy making the
change.
Everything was kept in readiness
at the new office except the lock boxes
and the keys. Several hundred pa
irons had to be supplied with new
keys to their boxes. Others had to
pick out new box, for in few cases
their old numbers were not to be found
in the new arrangement. Take the
Star-Democrat as an example. Here
tofore the box number was AA.. Since
there are no AA's in the new building
new box had to be chosen.
Take large number of box-holders,
some desiring a change because they
preferred a different location, others
desiring a larger box, and still others,
like the Star-Democrat, forced to
make change on account of the
numbers, and it can be readily seen
that the post office officials were rush
ed for the first day at least. Finally
everybody was accommodated and
things got back to normal. It was
then that the patrons began to sit up
and take notice of the new post office
building.
Nothing but praise was heard. tho
quite few complained of having to
walk from their places Of business on
Washington Street to the new build
ing. But many of them said they
would be soon accustomed to it, and
thought the new building in keeping
with the other public buildings in

CHESTERTOWN SERVICE
GETS AN INTERRUPTION

Considerable excitement was created
at the Sunday evening community SER
vice last week at Chestertown when
Sheriff Bennett and State Officer
Blackiston were called to the jail.
The excitement was due to the fact
that the majority of those who attend
such services are seldom in places
where law and order run hand in hand
and also who know little of the many
details of Sheriff's office.
The cause of the officers leaving
the service was that a dog had been
killed by an automobile at Betterton.
The dog, owned by Mrs. Stanford, of
Pennsylvania who is staying at the
Jewel Cottage, wandered across the
street and was hit by an automobile
driven by resident of Perryville, who
according to reports, did not stop.
A warrant was sworn out for the
drivers arrest by Mrs. Stanford. She
stated to the sheriff that after she
found the driver later in the town of
Betterton he expressed complete in
difference and would not go back to
the scene of the accident.
