TASLEY POSTMASTER
RETIRES AFTER 46 YEARS

John w. Colonna retired as Post
master at Tasley, Va, on January 81
after serving in that capacity for 46
years. Mr.. Colonna was appointed
agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad

February 2S, 1894, he was appointed
Postmaster there to succeed the late

vious to this had been in the store

moved from that location to the rail
road station, where it remained until
Wednesday, when it was moved to
the store of w. E. West, by Mr.. West
who has been named acting Postmas-
ter.
Mr.. West has arranged a very at
tractive post office in his store and
will give the same night service there
as has prevailed under Mr.. Colonna
The mail will close shortly before mid
night and be placed on the mail train
reaching Tasley at 1900 A. M. A
light has been placed in front of the
West store for the convenience of that
office wishing to mail letters at night

of the store through which letters
may be dropped.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
MAYORESS BROWN MOVES
INTO ATTRACTIVE OFFICE

The President and Town Commits
sioners of Princess Anne moved their
office to their new building adjoin-
ing the fire house, on Monday of
last week, and thereby occupied the
first official distinctive and exclusive
town offices in Princess Anne's his
tory.
The commodious new office of fire
proof brick and concrete construction,
is handsomely furnished and complete
in modern details.
Mayoress Anna w. Brown was bus
lily engaged on Monday in arranging
her new office furniture in the new
quarters and filing the town records
in the new fireproof vault.
The office building was constructed
under Mr.. Walter McDowell's super
vision at the expense of the Fire
Company, and it is to be paid for by
a nominal monthly allotment from the
towns budget.
Left in such efficient hands the
office becomes quite an asset and a
credit to the community. The very
attractive asbestos tile floor is match
ed by the venetian blinds in russell
and buff color scheme. The walls are
finished in cellotex paneling and indi-
rect lighting is used.

INVESTIGATING RATES
CHARGED BY FERRY

Last week another hearing of the
Claiborne Ferry rate fares was held
before the Public Service Commission
at which time the Peoples Council
finished his case, as did the auditors
and others employed by the Commits
sion to gather testimony.
The Ferry Company will be allow
ed a certain time to refute the testi-
mony brought out at the three day
hearing, and then the Commission
will render it's decision. The hearing
is held to determine whether or not
the rates of the Ferry Company are
too high. AS the Company has vol
UNFAIRLY reduced its rates three times,
discontinued the State subsidy years
ago, the Company contends that its
rates are now down to bed rock.
The cost of operating is very heavy
the cost of repairs to the boats an
uncertain quantity, last year it be-
ing 1889, and this year it may be
vastly more.
The Company last year paid out
in taxes $51, 1888, for insurance it paid
$4,000 and its operating expense
was over 100000. Fuel oil alone
cost nearly $4,000. For the past 2
weeks the Ferry Company has been
operating it's boats through fields of
ice and what damage that has caus-
ed is unknown until the boats go to
the dry dock for their annual inspec-
ton. In all probability many new
plates will have to be put in the hull.
When the Commission attempts to
decide what the rates for transpor-
tation company should be there is al
ways the element of great uncer-
tainty to account for. 1t is not likely
that the decision of the Commission
will be turned in for several months.

PILOT COURSE
IS ESTABLISHED
ON THE SHORE

At the request of Congressman Da-
vid j. Ward, the Civil Aeronautics
Authority will establish a civil pilot
training course at Salisbury, Mary
land for peninsula enrollees.
Hon. Robert H. Hinckley, Chairman
of the Civil Aeronautics Authority, in
letter received last week by Con-
gresham Ward, says: "Due to the
especially favorable conditions which
you outline, it has been found possible
to provide for the training at Sails
bury, Maryland, under the sponsor
ship of the Chamber of Commerce of
that City,"
Three civilian courses have been es-
tablished in Maryland; student
courses at the University of Mary
land and the Baltimore City College;
and one non-student course in Balti-
more.
Funds for the courses will be pro-
vided by the government under terms
of the Civil Aviation Training Act
passed in the last session of Congress.
The Act provides for an appropria-
ton of 100000 for the training
of approximately 10000 youths in the
colleges and universities, also provides
for the training of approximately
700 non-college students between the
ages of Is and &c.
The course at Salisbury will provide
complete ground training for fiji
ty to sixty young men and women
of the peninsula. A quota of ten
flight scholarships has been assign
ed. Upon completion of the ground
course, ten of the ground enrollees
will be selected for a complete flight
training course.
The Government provides the funds
for the ground course which must be
completed by April 1. The Civil
