buses to the Silver Spring Md

conduct a survey on the effect of

Give Maryland
| $74,A0 WindfoN
3v the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, March 5.-A mis-
taken idea which the first State
librarian had, has made Maryland
potentially $14,4OO richer.
David Ridgeley thought Maryland
legislators were interested in song
birds and so he paid John James
Audubon $500 of State funds for
a collection of his bird prints. That
was LOT years ago.
Although the legislators had never
been particularly interested in birds,
they're really interested in that
Audubon collection now. The New
York market figure on a similar
collection is $4,000.
