APPOINTMENTS MADE
Roads Engineer Names Six Old
Supervisors As District
Superintendents.
Under the provisions of the revised Baltimore County Road Law, recently adopted by the Legislature, Roads Engineer William G. Sucro has appointed wifh the approval of the County Commissioners, the following- District Superintendents. Edward N. Thomey— First, Second and Thirteenth districts; William H. Claggett—Third, Fourth and Fifth districts; Howard L. Rider-Eighth and Ninth districts; William G. Earle—Twelfth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth districts; Clayton Wisnom — Tenth and Eleventh districts.
These appointees were all named by the County Commissioners at the beginning of the year, as supervisors in their respective districts, and they are all known to be capable men.
Mr. William E. Klohr, of Towson, just recently returned from a trip to
It | Florida and has related marvelous tales to his friends about the sfze, of the
understood that their salaries have fruit and the vegetables that grow in that section. "Bill" Klohr was in the
been fixed at $1800 a year, with an ! "Jeff" office one day this week and presented us with three gigantic grape-
" fruits, and after he left the above photograph was found on the floor, whether "Bill" dropped it accidentally or on purpose could not be ascertained, but judging from the size of the cabbage, it looks as though someone is eligible for the "Ananias Club."___________________________.____________________________________
allowance for travelling expenses, and they will be held strictly accountable by the Roads Engineer for the condition of the roads and bridges ift the territory over which they have jurisdiction.
The Roads Engineer has also named, with the approval of the County Commissioners, the following office force. Samuel A. Green, Assistant Engineer; Jackson P. Graspn, Chief o.f Surveys; William H. Hook, Draughtsman; H. S. Bowen and Jack W. Corbett, Inspectors; Edward T. Mays, Superintendant ¦of General Construction; Miss Norma W. Ellis, Stenographer.
The powers and responsibilities or, the Roads' Engineer are greatly enlarged under the new law. He is given general charge of road and fcridge construction in the county, with the power to name his assistants, subject to the approval of the County Commissioners, and the absolute power to ¦employ and discharge ordinary laborers.
Under the new law the County Commissioners are authorized to levy a maximum of 60 cents on every $100 of assessable property in the county for roads and bridges, and in view of the general public sentiment in the county for better roads and bridges it is believed that the Commissioners will levy the full amount authorized. Of the amount so levied, one half will go into what is known as the Special Fund, and be expended in the several districts where collected, and the remaining- one half will go into what is known as the General Fund, and be expended where most needed throughout the ounty, irrespective of district lines. Under the old law, 70 per cent of the road funds were expended in the several districts and 30 per cent generally. The poorer districts of the county are expected to profit under the new law as it will enable the Roads Engineer, working under the direction of the County Commissioners, to develop the systematic improvements of roads throughout the county, regard ral interest of rathfei titan of those in any particular district.
Another good feature of the new law is the provision requiring the Roads Engineer to prepare annually, just before the making of the levy by the County Commissioners, a comprehensive plan for road and bridge improvement, together with a budget of expenses for the ensuing year.
The Daylight Saving plan, or the "fool light" saving plan, as it is termed by the farmers, seems to he creating quite a controversy all over the country, but it is encouraging to note that the New York General Assembly voted the measure down.
In Baltimore city the Council may make it a city ordinance, which would affect only the clocks of the city, while the surrounding country, including Baltimore county, would operate on. God's time and not legislative time.
There might have been some excuse for "pushing" the clocks ahead during the period of the war, but as to the advantages to be gained now, there is not one argument in its favor. It was an experiment that failed completely, the war is over and it's time people were getting back to things normal.
The effort to make the "fowl light" saving a city ordinance, is just another demonstration of Baltimore city's attempt to dominate the counties, for if the thing become* effective in the city there is nothing left for the counties to do but "fall in line."
HAS NEW SUPERINTENDENT
Dr. Ross McG. Chapman Is Now
Physician-In-Chief At Ihe
Sheppard-Pratt.
Dr. Edward N. Brush, who on September 1st last, tendered his resignation to the board of trustees of the Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital, South Tow-son, "stepped down" on April 1st as the active head of the institution of which he has been the physician-in-chief and superintendent since its creation many years ago. On February, 24th, last Dr. Brush was appointed Medical superintendent Emeritus, at which time Dr. Ross McC Chapman was named superintendent to assume Dr. Brush's former duties.

He was first, for a short time, at the State Hospital at Utica, N. Y., and then until 1916 at the Binghamton State Hospital, Bing-hamton, N. Y., during which time he took special courses at the State Psych-iatic Institute, Ward's Island, New York. In 1916 he was called to St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Washington, D. C. (the Governent Hospital for Insane,) as Clinical Director, and for some time ha.1? been the Senior Assistant Physician and Executive Officer.
In April, 1918, he was commissioned major in the Medical Corps of the U. S. Army and served in France until January, 1919, and until his discharge in August, 1919, with the Army of Occupation at Treves and Coblenz, in charge of the psychiatric service.
On Thursday afternoon at the Sheppard-Pratt Hospital, the trustees duly installed Dr. Chapman as Superintendent, the ceremony taking place in the Medical Library, with the heads of all departments present. Mr. Robinson, president of the Board of Trustees, addressed the assembly and welcomed the new superintendent, at the same time paying the highest tribute to the past administration of Dr. E. N. Brush, who continues as superintendent Emeritus in an advisory capacity. He also dwelt on the co-operation of all the employees in the past and asked for the same high standard to be continued under the administration of Dr. Chapman as lhas existed umder -the regime of Dr. Brush. Also that it was the intention of the trustees to keep Sheppard-Pratt Hospital at the head of all institutions of its class in the country. This was responded to by Dr, Chapman in an appropriate manner.
