shipped to a nearby city, where
a ready market was waiting.
Far back in your thinking
cells possibly there's q sort OF

but don't let it linger for q mo
ment. These men are not fish
hogs by any manner or means;
in fact, they're sportsmen and
follow the creed of the great
out-of-doors. But they make
their living out of the waters
Of the Chesapeake honestly and
courageously, whether it be oys-
tering, fishing for the market,
or guiding angling parties.
For example: when the purse
nets were legal and fish were be-
ing taken by the millions, many
Of the men of Solomons were
owners and operators Of such
outfits. When the issue was at
stake a few years past, before
the Annapolis legislature, as to
whether or not the purse-nets
should be blackliSted forever,
these .selfsame men of the island
Signified their willingness to give
up the killer-nets in behalf of
the sporting element. They were
heckeled by the commercial in
tereSts for taking such a stand,
but they were firm to the end
and when the law was passed
putting the purse-nets in the dis
card, there was Joy in Solomon
land. Yes. these men Of Solo,
mons are of the true type and
fight for what is right under
Gods great canopy.

Capt Milliken said clinic, which
would cost around 100000, should be

"Arresting drunks is expensive and
of small corrective value" she added.
I'VE should give them medical aid,

definite sentence the drunks be
sent up for an indeterminate period

WORK ON AIRPORT

WITHIN 10 DAYS
Early W. P. A. Fund Plea
for Project at GraveI|y
Point Planned.
QUICK ACTION PLEDGED
BY WORKS OFFICIALS
Cost Estimates Vary From 5 to
Z Millions, Depending on
Depth of Fill.

Formal application to the Public
Works Administration for funds with
which to start work on the Gravelly
Point Airport probably will be made
before the end of this week, accord
ing to Col. Sumpter Smith, chairman
of the Air Safety Board of the Civil
Aeronautics Authority, chairman of
Federal committee in charge of the
project
Final details of plans and estimates
for the new airport are being COM
pleted, Col. Smith said. but they will
be submitted to President Roosevelt
hsfore they are made public.
P. w. A. officials said informally
they had been awaiting for some time
the filing of the formal application
and expected to give the matter
prompt attention when it comes off,
cially to their attention. 1t was
thought possible the application might
be acted upon in time for actual con-
struction work to begin before the END
Of next week
Estimates Vary.
Although estimates for development
of an airport at Gravelly Point have
been made several times during the
past u years by the local Army engi-
neer Office, they have been for
smaller landing area than is proposed
by the Civil Aeronautics Authority.
The new estimates are based upon
experience of the local Army engi-
neers in connection with the filling
of the Gravelly Point area with ma
terial dredged from the Potomac River
and Washington Harbor in the course
of channel deepening operations.
Various estimates ranging from total
costs of s4000,000 to more than ST.
100000, depending upon the depth Of
the fill and other factors, have been
made, it is understood. The larger
sum, it is believed, would provide for
a fill which would bring the airport
surface above the level of any food
waters recorded in so years.
Five Feet Big Difference.
The lowest fill level for which esti-
mates are being considered, it is said,
would be below food crests on an
average of about once in 20 years on
! basis of past high-water recorcs.
The difference between an airport
which might be under shallow water
on an average Of once in 20 years and
one which probably never would be
flooded might prove a large item in
filling costs, it was indicated, since
difference of only feet in the
height of the fill would mean a differ
ence of many thousands of cubic
yards in an area the size of the pro-
posed airport.
