For Laying Water Mains Two items ot the city's PWA pro gram fell behind schedule today, but.

at a meeting of the Board of Awards three other projects were advanced through the letting of contracts and the opening of bids. Contracts for constructing a tuber culosis unit and a new Ward A build ing at City Hospitals were awarded to Palmer C. Streett, low bidder whose proffer on the tuberculosis building was $211,200 and on Ward A structure $363,700. Bids were opened on construction to an addition to the Hamilton school and on the laying of water mains. The lowest proffer on the school was $134,457 and on the water supply project $35,849.30.

Ashburton Project Delayed The two undertakings that suffered further delay included the project to construct a pumping station at Lake Ashburton. Only one bid had been received on this job. The city officials are awaiting approval by the PWA representative in Maryland, Abel Wol-man, of the letting of the contract on the basis of this single proffer. While a number of contractors had taken out specifications all except one failed to bid for various reasons, according to municipal executives. Several said they were bidding on other PWA work and their organizations were busy.

The other project that dropped be hind schedule was that for constructing an elementary school on Druid Park Drive near Reisterstown road. Authority was to have been asked by the Public Improvement for advertising to obtain bids. Herbert J. Leimbach, construction engineer of the commission, explained that copies of the specifications had not been completed in time to get all the necessary approvals, including that of -the PWA authorities, which art requisite to submission of the project to the board for sanction of the adver tisement for bids. Some action on the pumping station project and the school undertaking is looked for next week.

U. S. Agents At Meeting The meeting was attended by two special representatives of the Fedr eral Government who made notes on the bids and on the actions taken by the It is understood that they are Secret Service men, but neither would make a statement. Such representatives of the Washington authorities have been present at recent meetings. They art obtaining information regarding the manner in which Baltimore is cooperating in the PWA program for the pur pose of reporting to the Washingtoft authorities.

AUTO SSiOW CANDLER BUILDING Market Place at Pratt ALL THIS WEEK EMERSON MORGAN' Dapeodahlt Coal and Service tl W. fvattl 8L Plus 33SL ws Actual war vie Death Of Mrs. Taylor, Crisfield, Next By the Associated Press Princess Anne, Jan. 24 The grand jury of Somerset county, in special session here, completed its investiga tion of the murder of Mrs. Margaret Brumbley shortly after noon today, Thirty witnesses, including Somerset county officials, Walter Martin and Stewart Deal, Baltimore detectives, and Fred Brumbley, husband of the dead woman, were called to testify in the investigation of the murder at Marion Station New Year's Eve.

Jones' Son la Witness Sam Jones, Negro, held in the Baltl more City Jail in connection with the murder, was not on the list, but his son, James Jones, who was questioned in the probe of the murder, was a witness. After completion of this case the grand jury was expected to open its inquiry into the death of Mrs. Norris Taylor at Crisfield in December. Earl Collins, a Virginia oyster shucker, is held in this case. Decision Expected Today The speed with which the grand jury has worked made it possible that it would announce its findings late today.

Sheriff Luther Daugherty, who yesterday indicated he believed the grand jury's work would not be completed until Thursday, said today there was a good chance that all wit nesses would be examined today. The grand jury yesterday completed its investigation of the lynching on October 18 of George Armwood, Negro, accused of attacking an aged white woman. Lynching Denounced Judge Robert F. Duer, of Princess Anne, and twenty members of the State police were among the group of witness who entered the juryroom yea. terday.

Judge Duer talked to the mob and the State policemen attempted to defend the jail where Armwood was held on the night of the lynching. A denunciation of lynching as "i backward step from civilization to' ward barbarism" was made by Chief Judge Robert R. Pattison in his charge to the body before it began its deliberations. He asked the jurors not to let any feeling of indignation or resentment "to enter into the con clusions" of their investigation. Two Tavern Keepers Held For Grand Jury Lou Carbons And Boleshaw Gron wald Arrested In East Baltimore Raids Two tavern keepers were arrested by Eastern district police today and later were held in $500 bail for the action of the grand jury by Magis trate Joseph J.

Rettaliata. In the first case the proprietor was charged with selling beer between 2 and 6 A. M. and in the second with selling whisky that did not bear a State excise tax and with failing to l.eep a record of his purchases of alcoholic beverages. Lou Carbone, who conducts a place at 13 South Patterson Park avenue, was arrested at bout 3 A- M.

by Sergt Carl Walter, who had been at tracted by a light in the tavern. Car-bone was charged with selling beer during prohibited hours. The two charges were placed against Boleshaw Gronwald, who conducts a tavern in the 1700 block Aliceanna street after Sergts. Ignatius Benesch and Emanuel Sandler raided his place about 9 A.M. tercentenary stamp issue was placed before Postmaster-General Farley by Senator Millard E.

Ty dings last July. About 5,000 letters indorsing the pe tition have been received by Mr. Farley and resolutions urging the me morial issue were adopted at the last session of the Maryland General As sembly. Several months ago the President issued an order that no commemorative stamps could be issued without an executive order. The Postmaster-General informed the Maryland Tercentenary Commission that no decision could be reached on its request until early this year.

Mr. Radcliffe Be Conserved For New Structure Adjt-Gen. Milton A. Reckord, com mander of. the Maryland National Guard, announced today that the $1,000,00 rebuilding of the burnt Fifth Regiment Armory will be carried through this year if the Civil Works Administration is continued until May 1 to complete the razing of the old structure; and the excavations for the new.

Only by the continued use of the Civil Works Administration labor forces, however, will the State be able to complete the xcavating and razing and preserve the funds it has available to apply for a Public Works Administration grant for the construction of a new armory. Ready To Go Ahead We have all our plans ready to go ahead with the rebuilding of the armory along the lines drafted last year," General Reckord said, "but everything is now dependent on the continuance of the Civil Works Ad ministration until May 1. We are hopeful it will be continued so that the armory can be rebuilt" Summarizing (he status of the re building project, General Reckord said the plans drawn after the old armory was burned brought a low bid of (1.000,000, and that the State had only 5650,000 $400,000 derived from insur ance and (250,000 appropriated by the Legislature a year ago. The bids were received before the Civil Works Administration was an nounced, and the State authorities were then seeking to revise their plans to permit rebuilding with the funds available. 200 To 500 Employed "We found that the cost of excavat ing and razing the burned armory would run to $200,000, "General Reck ord said.

"As soon as the Civil Works Administration was announced we put before it projects for the work of demolishing and excavating and they were accepted. From 300 to 500 men under the Civil Works Administration have been working at it since Decern' ber This work Can be completed by May 1, if the Civil Works Adminis' tration is continued. That will reduce the expenditure needed for the re building to about $800,000. Expects $200,000 Grant "We have $650,000 with which to pay about $50,000 for architects fees and other miscellaneous items, leaving $600,000 to apply to the cost of rebuild' ing. We believe the Public Works Ad ministration will approve a grant oi the remaining $200,000 and we can then go ahead with the armory." No application has yet been filed with the Public Works Administration, General Reckord said, because the Federal Government has ruled that a project put before that body is auto matically withdrawn from the prov ince of the CWA.

As soon as the Civil Works Administration finishes the ex cavating and razing, if it is permitted to finish, formal application will be made to the PWA for the grant he added. MARRIED FOR 40 YEARS Mr. And Mrs. George W. Bahlkc Celebrating Anniversary Mr.

J. Casey is chairman. The study was made pub lic today. This close scrutiny of city spending should begin at once, the study says.

Lists Factor Noted Elements suggesting a higher' tax rate and city financial difficulties unless this control is. rigidly maintained are listed in the study as: The fact that 1934 begins with a sur plus of $950,000 carried over from 1933; evidence that the taxpayer will rebel at the $2.45 tax rate unless assessments are reduced; the possible fail ure to receive in 1934 the revenues estimated, including the estimate of $700,000 from liquor licenses; possible increase in the cost of to be bought by the city over the sums appropriated for them; public pressure toward the creation of additional city debt thus increasing debt-service charges. 'Eighty Per Cent. Committed" Attention is called to the fact that of the total municipal budget of $42,156, USA over eighty per cent was already specifically committed when the budget year began January 1, The commission says: 1. Unless the city can balance its budget and in addition duplicate in 1934 the surplus to the amount of $950, 000 which was carried forward to the 1934 budget from 1933, the loss of ti.e similar credit item as applying to 1935 would be equivalent to an increase of more than 0 cents in the tax rate for 1935.

Taxable Basil Reduced 2. The real estate taxable basis, after making allowance for the in creases due to new additions and irrv provements, has been reduced ap' proximately 7V4 per cent since the high -basis of 1931. There is indica' uon ot a growing puwic opinion which may not accept the continua tion of a tax rate for 1935 equal to or greater than the $2.45 tax rate of 1934 unless present real estate assessments are substantially lowered. The signifi. cance of such public opinion as affecting city revenues lies in the fact that the 1934 city tax levy on real estate is kconitnued On Page 3, Column 1 JOHN BOLES S1N(5S AGAIN STUART KEITHS STARTING AT P.

The house is still there. And so is the man who was born in it. For the benefit of newcomers in the neighborhood people, say, who have lived there only twenty-five or thirty years the old resident reminisced today about the district as it was when he first began to take no tice of it That was about the time he started to attend the white school on Old Kite Hill. A sign on Old Kite Hill now calls it Fortieth street "But in those days I was about 6 years old," said Mr.

Crowther, "every one called it Old Kite Hill because ill used to be the kids' favorite place for flying their kites." The boys of that time made a very sharp distinction between Hampden, Woodberry and the residents of each. The Northern Central Railway tracks were the dividing line, "Everything west of it," recalled the man who was there, "was Woodberry. And everything east of it was Hampden." He and his contemporaries still consider the railroad a good line of demarcation. Used Horse And Buggy In Mr. Crowther's extreme youth it was the only transportation line in the neighborhood.

The horse cars did not run out there and trolley cars had not even been heard of. If a resident wanted to come into town he hitched up a horse and buggy or he hoofed it The houses were few and far be tween. A few hundred yards from that in which Mr. Crowther lived was another in which his grandfather, Isaac Crbwther, lived. When the boy was about 10 years old, however, new dwellings began to pop up here and there.

Several were built adjacent to his own home, making it the corner house of a row. At the age of 13 Mr. Crowther went to work in a neighborhood grocery as a clerk and stuck at it until he was 18, when he became an apprentice in the sheet metal trade. He is still in the latter trade. A spell of illness a few months ago made him "knock ofr' from work, but he expects to be back on the Job soon.
