| Saturday, February 23, 1924—Page 8 THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND senator Mcintosh introduces OITY-COUNTY MEASURE. Bill Offered In Legislature Is To Extend Service To Various Sections In County, Close To Baltimore. (Continued from Page 1) county lying adjacent to the city are contained in a bill introduced in the Senate by President David G. Mcintosh, Jr. It is understood that the provisions of the measure have; been agreed upon at conferences between the city and county authorities and their representatives. In general the "Baltimore County Metropolitan District," as the territory to be affected is named in the bill, takes in the Back and Middle River sections, with the thickly settled areas along the Belair and Harford roads. Towson, Cockeysville, Reisterstown and the villages lying between these places and the city, including Pikesville and Catonsville and Patapsco Neck. Briefly, the plan of the bill is that Baltimore county shall pay for water and sewer mains and that the city shall furnish water and permit the sewers to connect with its disposal system. The elaboration of the plan in legal language makes a typewritten document of 23 pages. The County Commissioners of Baltimore county are made the administrative heads of the enterprise and are to meet on Mondays and receive salaries of $1,200 a year each, in addition to the $2,400 which they now receive. They are to appoint a chief sanitary engineer and such engineering, clerical and other force as in their judgment is necessary. No other salaries are specified. The Commissioners are given power to condemn streams, watersheds or other property. They are to cause surveys, studies, plans and specifications to be prepared, in consultation with the Chief Engineer of Baltimore City, for water supply, sewerage and drainage. When plans have been completed for the whole or any part of the system they shall proceed with construction. The authorities of Baltimore city are empowered and directed to make extensions of the water supply lines whenever requested in writing by the County Commissioners. The Public Service Commission is to review the cost, subject to appeal to the courts, and the Commissioners are to pay the bills. Funds are to be raised by a bond issue, which is not to amount to more than 7 per cent, of the totad assessment on real and personal property in the metropolitan district, although the bonds are to be a lien on the whole county. The bonds are to be due in not more than 50 years and are to bear interest at not more than 5 per cent. They will be exempt from taxation. The city water authorities are directed to make connections when required provided that the individuals or firms applying deposit cost in advance. Operating control of the water system shall be in the city, which shall collect the rates. These are to be approved by the Public Service Commission, and the service given is to be equal to that furnished in, the city. Power is given to Baltimore city Baltimore County and Anne Arundel County to make agreements with each other in regard to water supply or sewage disposal. The County Commissioners are authorized to compel householders in the metropolitan district to make connection with water or sewer; mains as fast as these are completed and are empowered to formulate and enforce a plumbing code. Use of the pipe lines is to be paid for by a connection charge and annual assessments on a front-foot basis on both improved and unimproved property and an annual sewerage service charge. All charges except for water are to be collected by th eCounty Commissioners. If three-fifths of thte voters in any section adjoining the metropolitan district shall petition to the County Commissioners to have their section included in the district, the Commissioners may, in their discretion and with the approval of the Mayor and City Council, extend the district to that extent.

(Continued from Page 1) in Baltimore city 790 are graduates of the University of Maryland; of 790 rural practicing physicians in the State 430 are graduates of the institution; of the 145 practicing physicians in Cumberland, Frederick and Hagerstown 70 are graduates of the University. During 1923 the University Hospital received 5,274 patients, calling for 76,891 hospital days. Full and part, pay admissions numbered 3,255, and of the 2.019 free admissions 884 came from Baltimore city and 1,135 from various parts of the State. There were also 8,512 visits in the accident emergency department during the past year, with 61,456 dispensary visits; 15,494 visits in outside work and 24,000 cases in the social disease clinic. The dental infirmary cared for 100,-000 patients and performed 40,000 operations. These figures were compiled^ to show just what the University of Maryland is doing for our sick and injured—it does not include other important activities such as the law school or the able and forward- looking commerce and business administration, destined to be of great value to every community. No argument could be advanced for the College Park activities of the University. Agricultural courses and the great work done in research fo rthe benefit of the farmers is nowhere more needed and appreciated than in Baltimore county. To be concise, the figures quoted concern directly the health and welfare of every citizen and represent service within reach of every home. Taking in all its activities the general finances of the institution reach a total of $2,065,320, of which $721,560 goes to maintenance of the schools and State departments allied to the University; out of this, however, the Baltimore city schools get but $25,300 or 3.5 per cent. In the hospital the cast per patient per day was $4.45, the State paying $1.10 and the City of Baltimore $1.50 per patient. If they had paid the full rate, the hospital would have earned a surplus instead of a deficit of $21,771. From these csncrete facts and figures everyone must see that the Medical School and Hospital have been rendering a wider service at less expense to the public than was understood—service of the utmost value to the community at large—service that must not be hampered, but supported and properly developed. Immediate and urgent requirements for both College Park and Baltimore city can be met by an investment of $2,540,000. The items placed first on the list are $1,200,000 for a new University Hospital, and $175,000 for remodeling the old hospital and for combined laboratories and dispensary. The great good that this money will do can be gauged by the excellent work of the University—schools during their long career of splendid service. There is no need to take into consideration the history of the old institution, but judge solely upon its present worth and possibilities. Yea, it is a priceless possession that the good old commonwealth of Maryland must not neglect. !HB A bazar for the benefit of the Catholic Church of the Immaculate at Towson, will be held on February 28 and 29 and March 1 and 3. It will be held in the hall at the Parochial School. There will be a number of booths, at which useful articles will be sold. ----------o---------- HENRY ORTEL IMPROVING.
