Annapolis Matapeake Fares
Slashed From Fifty Cents To
Thirty Cents One Way, From
IS Cents To so Cents For
Round Trip.
Auto Charges Cut From $500 TO
$3.50, And $50 To S1.25
S65, Estimated For Rebates
To Ferry Passengers Since
July, 1910; State Roads
Commission Now Oper-
ing Service

Eastern Shore residents in particu-
lar, and persons from all sections OF
the state in general, today are hailing
Governor O'Conor's announcement of
substantial reductions in vehicle and
passenger tolls on the Annapolis
Matapeake Ferry, taken over Tuesday
by the state, under the operation OF
the State Roads Commission.
Reductions range from twenty-five
to ferty per cent.
Larger automobiles which have been
paying So, may now make the cross
ing for $1.50. Rates on smaller cars
have been reduced from $1.50 to slips.
Passengers who formerly paid fifty
cents one way, may now make the
crossing for 80 cents. Where former
ly there was a round trip charge OF
IS cents, it is now fifty.
15-Cent Fare For Children
Children between the ages of 6 and
12 years now are paying Is cents one
way, as against Is formerly, and Is
cents for the round trip, as against
40 before.
In addition to these sharp reduc-
lions in fare rates, thousands OF East
ern Shoremen will be given rebates
on higher fares they paid on the ferry
crossing since July, 1910, upon pre-
sentation of the tickets issued them
at the time. 1t is estimated by
William A. Codd, Chief Auditor Of the
State Roads Commission, that ap-
proximately $65,O0O will be returned.
Acquisition Of the Ferry under
State ownership has been one of the
goals of Governor O'Conor during the
present administration.
Business is booming and we cal-
culated that we could make these re-
auctions and still leave enough margin
to allow us to maintain and improve
the SERVICE" Governor O'Conor has
announced.
Further Reductions Sought
"We shall work and improve the
service in every way possible, and we
hope that eventually we shall be able
to make a further rate reduction.
Meanwhile, it is our belief that lower
rates will result in greater use of the
ferry.
"It is very gratifying to be able to
effect the rate reductions and / know
it will show our friends on the East
ern Shore we have their interests at
heart"
The State acquired the Ferry for q
price of 81, 020,810 after fight before
the Public Service Commission last
year by Peoples Counsel Joseph Sher-
bow which led to the fixing of that
price. The Claiborne-Annapolis Ferry
Company had insisted on 81 300, 600

BURRELLE's CLIPPING BUREAU

II you were to visit Burrelle's
Press Clipping Bureau in downtown
Manhattan, New York, you'd find a
hundred young girls doing nothing
but reading newspapers and maya
zines. The offices, which overlook the
Hudson River, are as quiet as a Ii
brary reading room, and all you see
are newspapers stacked in piles
ready to be read and clipped. Harold
Wynne, a young college graduate
who is president of this unusual or
ganization says: Our girls enjoy
reading the Rising Sun Journal be-
cause it contains so many interest
ing items about our clients.
Burrelle's Press Clipping Blu
reau was started back in 1888 with
two readers and a handful of papers.

OThe Malbin Furniture Store
Are Sunday night was perhaps
the best example Of the need for
pensions for the Police and Fire
men of Mount Clemens.
Four Of the iiremen suffered
slight, but painful, injuries while
carrying out their duties fighting
the blaze.
Had one of them been critical
ly hurt, which was possible, the
city would have felt the entire
brunt of the costs.
A falling piece Of timber, q
sudden blast of gas-filled smoke,
or a falling wall could have
easily killed one or more of the
fire-fighters. A piece of shat
tered glass could easily have
blinded one of them, manning
him for life.
II this had happened, the in
jured man would have had to
suffer the entire cost of hospitali-
cation, besides receiving abso-
lutely no compensation for his
handicap.
Had one of them been killed.
the family would have received
no aid, outside of what could be
raised in contributions. His wife
and children, in other words,
would have to 60 begging.
Another good example clearly
showed in Sunday nights fire, is
the close cooperation between
the two departments.

Busy Little
Beaver Violates
Armistice Day

Early Tuesday morning Man
ager Z. ]. Driear was In q
frame Of mind that was not al
together friendly to the busy
little beaver. And the cause of
it all was that one solitary
beaver had declared war on the
power company regardless Of
the fact that 1t was Armistice
Day.
About 2 o'clock Tuesday
morning Driear was routed out
OF bed by someone informing
him that the power line leading
south Of town to the fish hatch
cry district was broken, with
one end down in the road. The
other end was hung up In a
tree and burning. Upon ar
irving at the break he found
that a beaver had started to
build a dam in a small irriga-
ton ditch nearby and had cut
down a cottonwood tree to be
used In the dam. The falling
tree had broken the power line.
Right now Manager Driear
doesn't like beaver.
