desert Quay Senator William Finn is
trying 10 work the same plan in Allegheny

house Thursday
Speaker Smith had something to say on

asked Mrs Lee TO assume the speakership.
Mrs Lee blushed at first She vas rot

rassment soon disappeared, and IN a hort
while she was On the house platform.
Once or twice the fair speaker had occasion
10 sound the gavel to call members TO or
der, but the gavel did not sound very loud.
1t was a dainty. delicate blow that Mrs
Lee dealt. Mrs. Lee showed herself con
versant with parliamentary tactics. though
at times she became slightly ratified.
During the debates il was interesting to
note the various methods employed in ad-
dressing the chair. She was variousiy ad-
dressed as Mr.. Speaker" Mrs Speaker. -

and Mrs President" The most popular
way seemed TO be Mrs. Speaker" which

BOUNDARY LINE WORRY.
Voters in tiIeEnny object to Becom-
Ing Citizens of Garrett.

Oakland, Md, Jan. 1i.-It seems that
the Garrett Allegany boundary line, as es-
tablished by the recent survey. has
changed what was originally accepted as
the line so much that quite a number OF
persons in the disputed section who have
been voting and paying taxes in Allegany
County have been moved into Garrett
County. These people claim that they find
1t as unpleasant as inconvenient to trans
act their legal business in Garrett Coun
ty. and moreover they feel that some in
justice has been done them. They also
do not think IL is right that their resi-
dences and farms should be moved into
another county without first being con-
suited, and have appealed to the commits
sioners of Allegany County. and the board
will consult their attorney to see If there
is not some way by which this apparent
injustice to those living along the border
OF the county may be avoided. part OF
the legal fraternity have intimated that
the matter is a long way from final settle
ment. and any action on the part OF the
AlIegany authorities. OF course. will bring
forth a protest from the people of Gar
rett. who are content to let the line stand
as il is now located. from the fact that
it brings into Garrett County a large guam
tity of assessable property. which will
tend to decrease the rate OF taxation very
materially. The matter may have to be
finally settled in the courts.
