State Funds For The
County Roads
Twenty-Five Counties Have
Total Of $l,733,000 For
New Highways

Twenty-one of Maryland's twenty
three counties have a total of an
proximately $1,733,0OO to spend for
new construction between now and
the end of the current fiscal year.
William A. Codd, chief auditor of
the State Roads Commission, has
revealed.
The other two counties-Kent and
Calvert-haven't cent left out of
their share Of the " cent lateral
gasoline tax to spend on new county
roads this fiscal year. In fact, both
counties have overdrawn accounts,
Kent county to the extent of $1O.-
$40. Calvert is "in the red" $1.51,
Allegany county is not much bet
ter off, having only 500 left in its
road account.
Mr.. Codd said Kent county last
year had done two years work in
one, hence the overdraft. Calvert
county's projects cost more than was
anticipated, which resulted in its
over-encuumbered position, he point
ed out.
The amount Cecil county will have
to spend on new construction is
$118.161.

Calendar Mystery

Pittsburgh, Jan. "a young Uni
versity of Pittsburgh professor today
claimed to have proved mystery Of
Egyptian history.
DR.. johann Johnson announced
that he had figured out the date of
the beginning of the Egyptian solar
calendar-that is was June Is, 1851
b. G. He said this also set prob
able date for the beginning of q
written language in Egypt.
Eight years ago DR.. johnson went
to work. And when he had completed
pencil-and-paper calculations, he took
mis- figures to the Bull Planetarium
tor a checkup. The stars were turn
ed back 5000 years to the date he
had fixed.
DR.. Johnson had a crushing feel
ing of disappointment. He knew that
the Egyptian calendar began ON o
morning when Sirius, the dog star
appeared over the eastern horizon
just before sunrise. He also knew
that on that night, If his calcula,-
llons were correct, there was new
moon. But the planetarium wasn't
showing them that way.
Suddenly he realized that the
planetarium calulationed time by the
Gregorlan calendar. He had used the
julian system. Quickly he figured
out the difference and the sky above
him was corrected. He saw Sirius
Just above the sun and new moon
in the western sky.
DR.. johnson is well-known in this
locality when he has spoken before
our civic clubs and high school. He
Is former resident of Rowlandville,
Cecil County.
