from Mr.. II. B. Spear, president of
the company.
The plan of the Maryland Bay
Company is to put first efforts to-
ward the upper bay ferry that would
cut time and distance by water be-
tween Eastern Shore points and Bal
timore and Washington, as we'll as
reduce the cost of travelling across
the bay by ferry. After that, then,
the Crisfield-Point Lookout affair
could be easily worked, together with
spur from Point Lookout to Lewis
eta, Va, for southbound traffic.
Mr.. Spear, together with Captain
E. w. Scott and Mr.. w. 7. Emery,
other officials of the Maryland Bay
Company, was in Crisfield a short
time ago, and went over the Crisfield-
Point Lookout proposition with Mr.. H.
G. Wells, prominent Crisfield manu-
facturer and Mr.. A. T. Hickman, who
was associated with the former Girls
field Western Shore Ferry proposition
that was alive about eight years ago.
The bay company officials came at
the suggestion of Mr.. Wells.
While there has been considerable
opposition to another ferry line across
the upper section of the bay in the
past, indications are that is waning
somewhat because of the belief that
shorter and less expensive ferry
can be arranged without sacrifice of
service.
The Crisfield-Point Lookout pro-
position. it was pointed out, would
not only shorten the distance between
Crisfield and Baltimore and Washing
ton, but would give more usage of the
better highways of the state, instead
of having to use the secondary circuit
Gus routes of the Eastern Shore or
else travel on roads, as far as pos
sible, of another while on this side of
the Chesapeake.
The spur from Point Lookout to
Lewisetta, Va, would serve as q
shorter route to Richmond and points
south from Crisfield and points north

stands for truth for their foundation
the blue of the sky and the sea,
and of all eternal things that are as
true and as high as the heavens,
and as deep and as unresting as the
ocean. With this they have blend
ed silver. Silver is the. symbol of
value, representative of the metallic
clink of many coins, that symbolic
the price we must pay for all life's
rich gifts, and the price life must pay
back to us for what we have to offer
at her shrine. 1t stands for the coin
of the realm-the medium by which
every door may be opened to us, and
to whose clink all forces keep step
and all human hearts respond. Silver
will buy nearly everything in the
world-but not quite all. There is
where we need blue-for truth and
honesty.
To go with the colors the class has
chosen for it's motto: "Possent, quia
posse videntur'- can, who
think they can"

|AUTOISTS FACE
HIGH TOLL ON z
new MD. BRIDGES
Aim Is to Spur Payment
Of State Share of Cost
(By a Staff Correspondent

| (by SLaII COfTeSpOnuenGD
BALTIMORE, Nov. For rea-
sons as yet unexplained, 1t is pro-
posed by State authorities In
charge of plans for the new Sus-
quehanna and Potomac River
bridges to be built at Havre de
Grace and Morgantown, to charge
higher tolls for the use Of the
structures than are charged over
toll bridges in any other State in
the East.
AS compared with a 50-cent toll
for crossing the Bear Mountain
Bridge in New York, similar to
the Morgantown bridge in general
purpose, it is proposed to charge
a 75-cent toll between Morgan
town and the Virginia shore for
a passenger automobile with .
driver but no other passengers.
There would be an additional
charge for passengers.
ANOTHER COMPARISON
Over the more heavily Travelled
route between Baltimore and New
York, passenger cars using the
new bridge at Havre de Grace
would pay a 20-cent toll. This
compares with an original charge
of 10 cents for use Of the SuSque-
hanna River bridge at Harrisburg,
Pa, since reduced to five cents.
Apparently the high toll rates
proposed for the Marylan
bridges, to be built with PWA aid
on a self-liquidating basis, are in
tended to speed up payment of the
States share of the cost. Reve-
nue. estimates prepared by the j.
E. Greiner Company, consulting
engineers for the State Roads
Commission, appear to contem-
plate payment Of the States IS
per cent of the cost Of the Havre
de Grace bridge in little more
than five years. Because Of the
smaller traffic over the Potomac
River bridge, it is estimated that
IS or 20 years might be required
to pay for it.
Trucks using the Havre de Grace
bridge would pay tolls ranging
from IS to 40 cents, and for cross
ing the Morgantown bridge would
pay from 81 to $1.50.
HIGHER THAN ESTIMATE
Latest engineering estimates
covering the cost of the two struc-
lures, as transmitted in q report
to President Roosevelt and PWA
officials in Washington, fix the
total cost of the Havre de Grace
bridge at $4,639, 900 and the Nor
gantown bridge at $4,658, 900. The
latter estimate is 20 per cent
higher than the original estimate,
and is attributed by engineers
who prepared 1t to the rising cost
Of materials and labor. Both
figures are based on the assump-
tion that work will start not later
than January /.
If the final figures are ap-
proved in Washington, the State
plans to issue revenue bonds at
once to finance its share Of the
cost, amortizing these through
traffic tolls after the bridges are
built.
President Roosevelt said in his
Morgantown speech during the
Maryland primary campaign, in
which he pledged the support Of
the Federal Government in build
ing the bridges, that he hoped
personally to start the Morgan
town project on its way before
leaving the White House.

Poison Ivy, Not
Marihuana, Problem
Weed of Schools

AS far as school authorities are
concerned, poison ivy has it all
over marihuana in the District
schools as a candidate for the
title Of most obnoxious weed.
In answer to question BY
School Board Member Henry I.
Quinn, Supt. Frank w. Ballou
said he could not recall having
received any complaints from
parents about marihuana cigarette
sales to school children.
But poison ivy is another mat
ter. DR.. Ballou reported the final
solution of a difficult case in the
playground of the Janney School.
A large dose of sodium chlorate,
advised and supplied by the De-
partment of Agriculture, has
killed the obnoxious weed, DR..
Ballou said, but the janitor got
a bad case of infection during
the determination.
