THE DISTRICT NAME. We have been
asked frequently whether the change ofname
Of Nechauicstown to Thurmont meant the
change Of name of Mechanicstown E ection
District to Thurmont Election District. We
ale a very poor lawyer hence do not ven IRE
to give nth-r than what we conceive to b. II
common-sense mot always apparent as legaD
view OF the mater.
We understand this to BE- Election District
No. l5 named after the principal town ia
the dis trct. Mechanicstown. Az civil di.
vision it 10 known by i,s number =; popularity
it is known by u name 1t yet remains No.
10 and if it prefers to be known by the name
of Graceham, Catoctin Furnaces or TnuIm mt
district, it should in some way make known
its choice. However, 80 far AZ any refrrLnce
IN the Law 10 Mechanicstown is concerned,
that name has had by law substituted for it,
Thurmont, 80 that, the election polls Tor
instance, located by Law in Mechanicstown,
will with out further legislation be located
IN Thurmont. Any reference, IN a deed to
the election district in which tne property is
| located, should be ~ number as 1t in reality
always should have been. For our part, we
believe the district should he named Thur
mont; we believe hat it will be, but 1t may
require some little time Ifit be not, i, will
amount to little; If it be. it will amount to
little.
There s little use to fuss over It, Jackson
and Hauvers districts have not a town or
pos,ofice ofthe same name; this district can
remain Mechancs'own district with no
Mechaniestown n it; what's to prevent t, if
