Mr.. A. G. Wilson, of Cumberland,
declared that he thought that county
school boards could do as they pleas
ed, without an act of legislature. He
also said that in Allegany county the
consolidation system was being APP
piled successfully and to the better

the system well lighted and heated
schools, containing all modern i'm

pills and teachers were supplied with
sources of emulation which they did
not have under the old system.
DR.. Prettyman said that he was
glad to see such unanimity concerning
school consolidation, which was one
of the great questions of the day, and
would result, if carried out in this

al opportunities for the children in

resolutions commendingconsolidation
and expressing a desire that the next

terday's Cumberland NeaCS:
1T is reported that project is on
foot to pipe natural gas from Weston,
w. Va, to Cumberland and later on
to Baltimore, plans for the line to
Cumberland having already been
completed. New York, West Virgin
la and Cumberland capitalists are
said to be interested and the Cumber-

If the men at the head of this pro-
