BAY BRIDGE TURNED
DOWN BY PUBLIC WORKS

The Public Works Administrator
again last week turned down a pro-
posed $4,000, $50 Federal grant toward
the construction of bridge across
Chesapeake Bay from a point near
Colchester to a point near Bay Shore.
The application, which was made
by the Bay Bridge Authority put the
entire cost of the project at $14,500,-
900. II
The rejection Of the application
came as no surprise to advocates Of
the bridge who have long since abans
doned hope of its construction in the
near future. The bridge is a dead is-
sue and has been for some time IN
some sections.

if you decided to ditch him and go
society? Who'll take Mickey on his
vacation? If it had not been for that
question, which she couldn't put from
her mind, no matter how hard she
tried, Linda would have said yes i'm
mediately to Bills invitation.
And then, one day, Linda had de-
cided to take her problem to Mr.. Avon,
her fatherly advisor, as she had before
when she was sorely put for an ans
wer.
Mr.. Avon, at luncheon in the sand
witch shop, listened to the whole story.
"Hmmm," said Mr.. Avon when she
was finished. eft seems, Linda to
simmer down to this: Should you
spend your vacation with one young
man or the other? Your Mickey or
the young doctor. I take it that you
love both?"
ooh, yes" Linda answered. eyes
do"
"Then the answer seems simple,
Mr.. Avon said. "Why not spend your
vacation with both? 7 can't think of
better opportunity to bring them
! together. You have to do it some day.
you know"
ooh, no." Linda said quickly, 81
couldn't do that-not yeti"
"How long do you intend to go on
with this young-this DR.. Blaine
without a full understandings"
81 don't know" Linda answered
honestly I DON'T"
"Well, from what you've told me
of the two young men," Mr.. AVIAN
continued, 81 think I like Mickey much
the better. I know he's worthy OF
you. AS for the other well ]
guess I'll have to know him BETTER
"You wouldn't say that" Linda
flared, eff you knew Bill Blaine. He's
:. well, he's simply wonderful"
Hmmm, said the man in gray to
himself, is he, now? Funny he hasn't
told me the same about Linda ..
Mr.. Avon seemed to be no particular
help in solving this problem, Linda
thought. But, considerably later, Mrs
Blauer was.
It was on an evening when she ar
rived to keep Mickey, during another
of Linda's endless string of dates with
Bill Blaine, that the neighbor woman
preached the subject.
Linda, honey" Mrs. Blazer said,

I'm going to ask you, but I wonder
if you'd mind awfully if took Mickey
with me for a week or ten days at the
coast"
"Mind, darling?" Linda said. "Why,
I think it would be GRAND! But are
you sure he won't be a bother? He's
such little child"
"Bother?" Mrs. Blauer asked, as
though she didn't believe her ears.
"As if my Mickey could ever be a
bother to anyone. Why, I tell you, I'd
miss him so much wouldn't enjoy my
vacation-not a bit-if I didn't have
him along with me. Why don't you
come, Linda? You know I have the
little cottage at Capitola that my Phil
built for us. There's plenty of room.
Phil and his family have finished their
vacation and"
"No, Bertha" said Linda, thank
you ever so much, though. I have
other plans"
And Linda, with the aid of Janice
Marberry and 10 Monroe, went right

to work on those "other plans plans
for a wonderful vacation with Bill
at the lake.
"Do you do you think I'm an
uttrely hopeless wretch to run away
from Mickey like that" Linda asked
Janice and 10 as they were planning
her composite wardrobe.
"Don't be Sill" 10 scoffed. "Why
Mother Blauer knows how to take
care of him better than you do. He'll
be all right; it's yourself you'll have
to watch out for"
Janice said nothing.
Linda's clothes were limited; GER
tainly not the extensive, costly ward
robe of the society girl. Her mex
pensive, although smart, clothes would
look pretty shoddy against the ele-
gance displayed by Merry Blaine and
her girl friends. Linda reasoned
That's why she and Janice and ia
got together. Among them, they
managed to assemble nearly every
thing that the well-dressed young girl
would wear. Linda couldn't wear JOS
dresses-they were too large, but
she appropriated a swank crinkly bath
ing suit, to fit any form, beach robe
and clogs. Janice and she were Of 9
size and Janice's wardrobe supplement
ed Linda's own.
Linda was particularly thrilled wher
Janice volunteered to loan her the
smart new beige and brown tweed
coat which was Janice's newest anG
most cherished garment.
Neither Linda nor Janice knew
at that moment-the effect that the
loan of this coat was to have upor
both their lives. But it was fateC
that it's effect should be tremendous
although neither could foresee it.
Linda was in the act of slipping out

had two men on her mind-two men
and boy. Her thoughts were divided
between those for DR.. Bill Blaine, who
was his old charming self after that
one night of moodiness, and for the
success of Steve's chance of winning
the national competition with his en-
try of the casa Linda" housing plan.
She and Steve, Linda told herself,
were now great friends-nothing
more-and she took sisterly inter-
est in his progress in architecture. He
wasn't any longer the fresh young
man of the roof-top meeting, but he
was Mickey's steadfast friend, and
Linda's, too.
Her permission for the use of her
name, the "big favor" which Steve
had asked, was readily forthcoming.
On the bottom corner of the big draw
ing, in tiny letters, she had initiated
FL. M" for "Linda Morton"
"That's your good luck CHARM" Lin
da had smiled.
ellis luck began, Linda" Aunt Gym
thia had said sagely, when he met
a girl like YOU"
Bill Blaine and Steve were the men
on her mind-and Mickey was the
boy. With Linda's vacation only two
weeks away, she thought more and
more of Mickey, seeking to decide
what to do about vacation plans. She
had saved money enough for the two
of them to enjoy two weeks together,
inexpensively, at modest beach or
mountain resort. But new problem
had arisen to complicate things.
Bill Blaine had asked Linda, had
insisted, that she join him in a vaca-
ton at the Blaine summer place at
Lake Tahoe. The prospect thrilled
Linda beyond words, but of course,
that meant no Mickey.
Linda never had been to Lake Ia
hoe and the prospect of a glorious
vacation there with Bill and his
friends was delightful to contemplate
too delightful to reject without Civ
ing the question great consideration.
cts wonderful there, Linda" Bill
had said. You'll love the lake. And
you won't be lonely for feminine COM
pany if you find old William too Dor
ing. Merry will be there with a whole
flock of her girl friends. Well have
great time"
Despite Bills urging, she had beg
ged off from giving a definite ans
wer. He said he would wait, but he
hoped she'd say yes.
1t was the first overture Bill had
made toward having Linda meet any
of his family, and Linda thought the
opportunity was too good to miss.
Merry will be there, will she?
wonder, Linda thought, if Miss Mere
dith Blaine will be any more cordial
to little Linda than she was the day
they first met, through Mr.. Avon,
in the sandwich shop?
GLOW DO you do, Miss Morton ?"
Merry had said.
Well, Linda would make Merry like
her-or else.
On the other hand, the small voice
of conscience said, what about Mickey,

light, he spread large roll Of draw
ing paper. With it were blueprints
and colored sketches Of houses, plans
and elevations.
"This," he said, "tells it better than
I can"
Linda's eyes went from the draw
ing on the large paper to the neat
lettering at the top. It read:
CASA LINDA DEVELOPMENT
Housing Plan in One-Family
Units. Submitted by
STEVEN HUBBARD
Linda stared blankly at the paper
without understanding. There were
row upon row of neat little bunga-
lows, staggered in location to con-
serve space without losing artistic
arrangements. Each bungalow had a
flagstone walk in the midst of shrub
dotted lawns, each had it's complement
of palms and shade trees.
Linda's glance sped from the large
drawing, quickly past the pile of blue
prints, and came to rest on a color
sketch of one of the model bungalows
in the elevation. That she could ap-
preciate.
1t was a perfect little livable home,
brides bungalow, if there ever was
one.
"Like it," Steve asked.
"Like it," she echoed. "Why, Steve
it's adorable"
So THAT'S why he could draw gin
gerbread houses and fairy castles for
Mickey? So that's why this garage
man had hands with long, artistic fin
gers. He drew dream houses that
people could live in.
"Come, young man." Linda said
you've been holding out on us.
What's it all about?"
And then Steve told her. All about
his hopes and dreams, his years of
studying architecture nights, while
he worked days to earn his living.
How Timothy Pflueger, the noted
architect, who planned buildings like
Titan Tower, had seen something in
Steve's work, had given him helping
hand, technical pointers and all the
assistance that Steve sought. And,
modestly, how Pflueger predicted big
things for Hubbard some day as an
architect.
Steve's expression, Tiny building"
was no longer a hollow phrase to
Linda. It meant everything to Steve
that some day he, too, would be able
to look up at building like Titan
Tower as his own work. Now, it
meant something to Linda, too.
"The name just seemed to fit, some
how" Steve explained. "Casa Linda
pretty house, in Spanish. And with
your name I know I have luck on my
side. How can I lose?"
"You can't, Steven, you're not the
kind that loses," Aunt Cynthia said.
81 wanted to help him, Linda; I want
ed to give him money so he could
study-money that's no good to me
and that I can't take with me. But
the boys too stubborn-it's an old
Hubbard failing. He wanted to make
good on his own-and he will.
They're beautiful houses" she add
ed, "aren't they, Linda?"
"Reautiful. ;" Linda said. softly.
But she wasn't looking at the draw
ings. She was looking at a pair of
sightless eyes and she was thinking
of something she had heard termed
"blind faith"
For the next several weeks, after
the dinner at Steve's home, Linda

 For the final hour of court this morning, an uninteresting discourse on accounting was given during the questioning of Purcell by Crawford
 Reference was made to the An. rigador Diggers, as having received two cheeks in November, which were not mentioned until the De- cember warrants payable registers Worksheets of Purcell contained the notation of "pre-payments" opposite mention of that transaction, A transcript of Q portion Of this mornings testimony and statements of the officials Is as follows: Pickup type with guide line 1nglis
 Judge: I gather specifically what your evidence is. It is proof of the contents of some records on the books of the city. What you're say- ing is that these items that appear on this memoranda are taken rom the regular books of the city.
 MT. Alcorn; Yes:
 Judge: I don't recall that this wit. ness has testified to what books or the city this paper was taken rom and therefore, I'm rather uncertain as to whether there IS any evidence that those books are destroyed.
 MT. Alcorn: Then there Is ew. dence before by the witness that in ie36, and 1887, vouchers and chec,xR were extracted from the vault in the city, and they are miss" ing. The Warrants Payable Sheet for ie36 and ii months of 1857 are completely gone-entirely gone, ana upon these appeared the names or the individual to whom the money was actually paid. It gives the amount and the reconciliations ana the checks, but the only way we ma the name of the payee Is through the Warrants Payable Sheet, ana IT months of 1887 and 12 months or 1896, and back to years and years, were extracted. All those are gone so that the Warrants Payable Sheets that are gone are the Warrants Payable Sheets that affect these ac- cused, But we will show, following Mr., Purcell's testimony with respect to this matter, by tracing through the books and records of the city We will show that these accounts appear in MT. Purcell's, memoranda work sheets, but in no place VIII you find the name of the payee. You will find the name Of payee only in the Warrants Payable Sheets, and MT. Purcell's nen,o- randa is oil that is left to tell us who the payee is. We'll show how these checks were drawn in the Citizens' Bank and how they were cashed in denominations of thou- sands by Olsen, over in the Water- bury Trust Go.
 Judge: I can follow Up to this point. I can't recall any evidence that the data which appears on what you're offering was that which was taken from the Warrants pay- able Sheets. The City would keep some sort of check on 1t.

 offering here was taken from some of the records which you say were destroyed.
