Towson Food Storage
Investigation

The investigation of the food stor-
age locker at Towson, Md, revealed
that there is no storage of meat in
some quarters, regardless OF Cow
much others may feel the pinch, for
it was revealed that an eighth of a
million pounds, $4,000 pounds, OF
meat are stored in the plant, in in
dividual lockers. Even so, this does
not mean that the meat is stored
there illegally, or that the meat SO
stored was obtained illegally, it is
pointed out, for most of the lockers
are rented to farmers who do thell
own slaughtering, and are able to
store as much as they care to or ia
cilities will permit.-Record, Tow

struct 4 1-mile concrete sidewalk

that the present narrow bridge Is a
hazard to vehicular and pedestrian
traf1ic. The board estimates that
the cost of widening the bridge will
be approximately $4,000.

side Of Macarthur boulevard "is
urgently needed, largely for. the
use Of personnel employed at the
David w. Taylor ship model testing
basin as well as at the Army Map
Center"
Although he said the United
States Engineers Office was re-
sponsible for the maintenance OF
Macarthur boulevard and the bridge
over Cabin John Greek, Mr.. Noyes
explained that officials of the en-
gineer's Office had told him they
could not obtain the necessary funds
for the projects.
He added that both Rear Admiral
H. S. Howard, commanding oncel
at the ship model testing basin, and
Maj. D. M. Radcliffe of the en-
gineer's Office had agreed to recon-
mend the widening Of the bridge
and the construction of the side
walk.
