ANOTHER LICENSE APPLIED
FOR

Communicated.
The corner of Queen and Cherry
streets will be rather damp spot
for town with as dry reputation
as Rising Sun if the two licenses
applied for on that corner are grant
ed. But perhaps there is some mis-
take about the locations of the stands
applying for licenses. 1t is not the
first time that there has been some
confusion about the points of the
compass there. 1t would be we'll to
have the matter looked into before
the granting of the coveted papers.
Also one wonders why such re-
numerative business should change
hands so often, or is it possible that
it is a little difficult after the new
ness wears off to entice enough new
patrons to drop in to do a real salts
factory business?

FAIR IN MIDDLE OVER RACING
DATES

The directors of the Hartford
County Fair Association announce
they have been unable to get suitable
dates from the Racing Commission
and that a proposed five-day race
meeting at the Bel Air fair grounds
has been called off.
Feeling that a race meeting was
necessary to rejuvenate their annual
fair, the directors had gotten bill
through the Legislature authorizing
the racing and had voted $4,000
worth of stock to finance the enter
prise. They already had issued $15,-
900 of the stock and some of it had
been sold.
However, when they went before
the commission to discuss dates,
they learned the only dates available
that would include Saturday were
from August IL to Is. This period,
they felt, was too early to allow time
to sell the necessary stock and COM
plete other arrangements.
A later period was available in
September, between the Timonium
and Havre de Grace race meetings,
but it did not include Saturday.
The fair directors did not accept it
because they felt Saturday was es-
sential to the financial success of a
Bel Air race meeting,
GLADDEN. Davis, secretary, said
there was some question whether a
fair would be held at all this fall,
The exhibition may be postponed
until next fall, when the directors
will have better opportunity to hold
the race meeting,
If fair is held this fall, the direc-
tors said, it probably will be two
day exhibition, instead of the usual
five, with no carnival features.

STATE ROADS CHAIRMAN OF
WAY OUT

According to reports in high Re-

uled to relinquish his post as chair
man of the State Roads Commission
by January l..
Word to this effect was passed on
from Governor Nice's office to a
group of Republican members of the
State Senate who had instituted an
active campaign for the removal of
the Washington county physician
from the command of the highway
department.
The legislators differences with
Dr. Tabler, it was said, were purely
on political grounds and due mainly
to the physicians handling OF roads
patronage matters in their counties.
