SUBSTRUCTURE CONTRACT
ON BRIDGE AWARDED

The State Roads Commission of
Maryland, announced on Thursday,
that the substructure work on the
new Susquehanna river bridge, con-
Meeting Cecil and Hartford counties,
will be completed by the Mclean
Contracting Co., of Baltimore.
The contract originally had been
awarded to Robert C. Reitz, Of Ian
caster, Pa, who disappeared some
weeks ago. The new contract was
let "as the request of and with the
assent" of the Hartford Accident and
Idemnify Company, which had guar
anteed the performance of Reitz's
contract.
Ezra B. Whitman, chairman of the
state board, said the Mclean COM
pany already has taken over the job.
He added that apout fifty per cent of
the substructure work remained to
be done. The new contractor will re-
ceive between 100000 and $550,OO0
to finish the job, he said.
When Reitz disappeared, his wife
asked Maryland and Pennsylvania
police to locate him. After his disap-
pearance, the Roads Commission set
tied $4,000 pay roll out of funds due
Reitz for work already completed on
the bridge.
Later the bonding company asked
the commission to carry on the work
until it could lay plans for it's COM
pletion. After series of conferences
with road officials the indemnity COM
pany asked that the contract for the
remainder of the work be let to the
Mclean company.
A few weeks ago the PWA, which
contributed funds for the Susquehan-
ma rifer bridge, threatened to with
draw it's aid because work on the
bridges was not progressing rapidly
enough.

OIL TRUCK IMPOSTOR
WORKS CLEVER TRICK

An imposter in the uniform of a
Texaco oil truck driver paid visit
to Princess Anne this week and ap-
preached local dealers with very
plausible story.
The man, driving up to the local
station, said his truck had broken
down some distance down the highway
and he needed some money for quick
repairs. He requested the local deale,
to fill in his credit book as if he had
delivered so much gas and let him
have the money, for which the dealer
would receive credit from the COM
pany.
The local dealer complied with his
request and the pseudo Texaco en-
ployee has not since been seen or
heard from.

TRAFFIC SAFETY
COM MITTEE in
FIRST MEETING
Gather In Baltimore AS Guests
Of Governor Herbert r.
O'COnOr At Club

The Executive Committee of the
Maryland Traffic Safety Committee,
recently announced by Governor Her
bert R. O'Conor, gathered in Balti-
more on Sept. 10 at the Chesapeake
Club as guests of the Governor, for
their first meeting and their initial
conference with the newly-named Cen
eral Chairman of the Traffic Safety
Committee, Thomas P. Abbott, of Bal
timore. Representatives of Western,
Central. and Southern Maryland and
the Eastern Shore were present, to-
gether with the Baltimore city mem
bers, and the heads of the State De-
partments concerned with safety work.
The first public activity of the Traf-
fic Safety Committee will be the pub
Lefty throughout the State of the
"Traffic Safety Days" to be held the
first week of October, in an effort
to cut down the number of traffic IA
talities during that month, and thru
the three-month period beginning Oc-
tober 1, always the worst period of the
year with respect to traffic deaths.
While the October, 1888, record of
"a deaths showed a sharp decrease
over the total of 81 in Ocotber, 1887,
there still remains the fact that for
ty-three residents of our State, or Wis
itors to it, lost their lives on our State
highways and streets, truly deplor-
able record.
In an effort to further reduce the
October toll, the Executive Committee
at it's meeting last night adopted a
comprehensive Safety Program for
the period of October IT, inclusive,
under which the seventy-odd members
of the general committee throughout
the State will set up committees in
their various counties, and in Balti-
more city, with view to making the
entire State Safety conscious dur
ing that period.
"Save Life-possibly YOUR OWN
in October" is the underlying theme
of the Safety Message that will be
broadcast to the State, not only via the
radio, but through newspapers, thru
literature of various kinds, and as a
result of Safety meetings with the
civic and fraternal clubs, veterans
posts, school, high school and college
groups. In the counties, particularly,
the members of the Statewide COM
mittee will endeavor to enlist the as
sistance Of others in the respective
communities who are interested in the
cause of Safety, and who are willing
to lend their efforts to help spread
the gospel of Safety on the roads.
The members of the Executive Com
mittee, under whose immediate direc-
ton the October Safety Days will be
conducted are as follows:
