A Good Institution,

AT the stockholders meeting of the
Equitable Savings and Loan Associa-
ton, held Tuesday evening, 18th inst,
ten directors were elected, who sub
sequently organized for the current
year as follows:
P,esjdent-J. b. Oder
Vice Iresident-D f. McMullen.
Secretary Clayton Purnel.
TiedSurer-A. c. Haverstick.
Htorney-W. c. Devecmon.
Di,ectoys-Howard Hitchins, Thomas G.
Porter, J. c. Yungerman, j. II. Hitchins and
DR.. J. Marshall Price.
The report elsewhere printed shows
that the receipts for last year average
over $500 for each working day of the
year, nearly all of which, inclusive of
earnings, is so much saved to the
stockholders.
The Society does not belong to the
large and always questionable class
of institutions that charge, beside iu-
terest, so called premium upon loans.
Only the legal rate of & per cent. per
anfutm is charged, but in the distribu-
ton of earnings borrowers participate
equally with the investors. The
dividends received, therefore, reduce
the cost of the money to borrowers to
a net rate of less than per- cent. This
is not theory, but demonstration at
tested by hundreds of repaid loans.
In all respects the system, which, by
the way, is peculiarly of Frostburg
origin and development, is thoroughly
cooperative in work and mutual in
benefit. SO true is this that any
monopoly of stock issue, barred by
constitutional limit of shares both in
dividual and aggregate, is impossible.
And then it follows that the officers
regulate the issue by the demand for
safe loans.
In addition to the report the Secre-
tary informs the JOURNAL that there
are outstanding
445 shares matured stock, amount

They Couldn't Risk Ii.

In a communication to each county
commissioner by w. f. &. Hitchins,
late tax collector for this district, the
following paragraph occurs:
In case my application for disappointment
as Collector for the Sd district should not
meet with favor, then wish you to consider
the following propositions
| will collect all the taxes for the entire
county for the sum of thirty five hundred dol
lars and give satisfactory bond for the full
performance of my duty.
This will save the county, upon the pres
ent reduced basis, the sum of fourteen hun
dred and fifty dollars.
To this proposition respectfully ask your
careful attention. Yours very truly,
w. f. G. HITcHINs.
The proposal evidently gave the
commissioners much concern, but the
need for office-paramount in all
parties, populist not cXcepted-prob-
ably Overbore the woes of the taXpay-
ers, and the following named gentle
men were appointed Tuesday to do the
work of one:
First Col'ectjo" DiShict-Ezra A. Watson.
ISeco"d-C. Melvin McCulloh.
Thid-David d. Price.
F0arh-Owen Price, jr.
FUM-Albert Frenzel
d. ID. Price is a Frostburg council,
man, electric light hve-year contract
series. vintage of 1897, whose position
as such is thus probably vacated. He
is, however, a good, jolly fellow, with
no poison in his tongue nor malice in
his heart-a man whose preferment is
acceptable over many others.

In private letter written to- friend

Frostburg was the only place in the noun

gentleman all the way through.
Mr.. Miller appeared in Richmond,

his Frostburg performance. A great
audience welcomed him and the Times

of high social and business standing.
His commentator of Frostburg peo-

1t seems impossible for anybody to
do anything patriotic without in
curing an impeachment of his mo-

comment said to be current yesterday
there is too much politics in the
Normal School business" So far as
the JOURNAL is concerned this is not
true. The great paper does not be-
long to the crowd who study during
the night and work during the day to
win for themselves and lose for the
town.
The notion current in Cumberland
that the Normal School appropriation
defeated the extra sum sought for the
Western Maryland hospital is wholly
erroneous. There was no more COM
petition nor collision between the two
measures than if neither had been in
troduced.

Wont Hold Water.

George H. Wittig says he was Mayor
for the year lSSo-6-the year the Forum
says "the gas company was given "a
three years contract
''The press was not in high favor
in those days with the Council, which
may account for the fact that it has
no record for the year named.
But for 1867 the cost of gas was
$3.50 for 1888 $34S.SS.
A three year contract would imply
more uniformity than those figures
present,
The same figures, according to the
Forum, should represent an extension
into "outlying portions of town." but
a trouble arises in the fact that the
gas company, clamoring for 5 year
contract to supply more gas, got
$5S7.2S in 1881 ., and $437 80 in 1882 3
for one-year contracts for less gas
average of 1920 more per year tnan
