FERRY SERVICE FROM Toll
CHESTER TO BAY SHORE

In a statement to the Chestertown
Transcript by Mr.. B. B. Wills, presi-
dent of the Colchester Company, that
company is planning to establish a
ferry service from Colchester to Bay
Shore as soon as a franchise can be
secured from the Public Service Com
mission. The securing of this fran
chise, however has been stumbling
block in the fact that the Maryland
Court of Appeals has upheld the Pub
lie Service Commission in its decis-
ionion that clause in the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge Bill prevents the establish
ing of ferry routes across the bay
within a distance of twenty miles of
the proposed bridge location. This
decision was handed down in case
whereby a ferry company attempted
to get franchise to operate from the
northern end of Kent Island to Sandy
Point. Although the Colchester Com
pany argued that they were not start
ing new service but were merely i'm
proving an existing one, the Commits
sion upheld their refusal to grant the
franchise.
= The Colchester Company is now en-
deavoring to get the Legislature to
change the objectional clause so that
it does not pertain to ferry companies
already operating in the restricted
area.
The plan of the Colchester Com
pany is to operate two shallow draft
boats between Colchester and Bay
Shore. It is said that the run can be
made in forty-five minutes and the
schedule can be run every hour If
traffic demands it.
Such ferry service will be well
coined by the people of that section
of the shore as well as residents and
business men of Baltimore.
Due to lack of adequate transpor-
tation to the Western Shore, much OF
the business from the upper part OF
the Shore Is going to northern mar
kets due to superior roads.

SMITH APPEAL
BEFORE BOARD

Civil service commissioners took
under advisement Thursday the
appeal Of Richard J. Smith. line
man. from ratings given him in a
recent examination in which he
failed TO get a passing grade.
At its meeting Wednesday night.
the commission brought from Sc
attic the municipal system fore
man who had been special ex-
arniner in the examination here.
There was some discussion about
the circumstances under which a
metallic splice had been made by
Smith as one of the important
eyolutions, after which the ex-
aminer said, had he known he might
have graded Smith so instead of
60 on the splice.
II was shown that the examiner
had graded on workmanship with
out any knowledge Of who had
made the spices presented to him
for grading. Smith contended the
"mousing" wire given him was too
short to make an adequate splice
the length it should be bonded.
A check-up of grades disclosed
that a grade OF so on the splice,
instead of so. would have made a
difference of 2 points, or the diff
ference between "a and rs in
Smiths final grade; rs would at
least have been passing grade,
and Smith would be entitled under
the chart to a Is per cent addi-
tional credit as a World war
veteran.
