The "Richards" One-Pipe System is easily and quickly installed—no tearing up of partitions and walls. Only one pipe and one register. People everywhere are doing away with the dust and inconvenience of stoves and parlors. HEATING SYSTEM for Country and City Dwellings Schools, Churches and Stores The Richardson One-Pipe System is the result of over a year of investigation—an inexpensive plant with highest heat production and low fuel consumption. Insures a positive quick circulation all over the house; abundant warmth for the principal rooms and genial temperature. Saves Coal, Labor, Dust, Dirt Two casings with extra large cold air space between, give health to the house and coolness to the cellar —fruits and vegetables can be safely stored in the cellar without spoiling. This modern system in your home or business is the best in your home or business. The J. Robertson Manufacturing Co. Heating and Plumbing Supplies 108 Hopkins Place Baltimore, Md. WHY ANNEXATION BILL IS UNFAIR Above all, because it denies the right of the people to be annexed to vote on the question, which Right is guaranteed to them by the Constitution of Maryland. Because it takes from Baltimore County an acre one and one-half times the size of the present city, while one fifth of the present city is still vacant land. Because it takes away 65,000 of the county’s whole population of 139,000, or nearly one-half. Because it takes away about one-half of the county’s whole taxable basis, leaving the whole expense of administration to be saddled upon the remainder of the county. Because it provides that the county’s public buildings within the area proposed to be annexed, posting hundreds of thousands of dollars, shall be taken over at what they are worth to the balance of the county after annexation—that is, nothing at all. Because it provides that all property fronting on the 15th State roads running through the proposed annex shall pay a special paving tax of 15 cents a front foot every year for 10 years. The State built the roads, the city will get the money. Because it makes no provision for farm lands and woods, which must pay the same rate as built up ground, and which, in 20 years, will be paying the full city rate — the same as property at Baltimore and Charles streets. The annexation bill of 1888, which was a fair measure, provided for the county rate on such property until it should be given city improvements. These are the most grossly unfair provisions of the bill, although there are many other features which will work great hardships to the people of the proposed annex. The Democratic party has pledged that this or any other annexation measure should be submitted to the voters of the “Belt,” as provided by the Constitution. The Republican party has declared flatly in favor of the Preston-Field Force Bill WITHOUT A REFERENDUM. The only way in which the people of Maryland can prevent this outrage from being perpetrated is to vote the Democratic ticket. We ask you to do this in the interest of common honesty and fair dealing. No national issue is to be decided in the election this year; no sacrifice of party principles is involved.
