THE MESSAGE
To the 7oa0n Council of Oakland.


To the 7oaOn Council Of Oakland,
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES | beg to
submit for your consideration a few
OF the most important matters relat-
ing to present conditions.
Before presenting them, however,
permit Inc to compliment your prede-
cessors (the Council of 1902 upon the
magnificent showing made by them in
the way of substantial and permanent
improvement. The past years effort
has resulted in the paving of streets
for two full blocks of our beautiful
city; and about one mile of the I'M
slightly and undesirable boarawalks
have been replaced with neat and
permanent paving bricks. Franchises
have been granted which will give us
in the very near future an abundant
supply of pure water, also a complete
system of sewerage. We have every
assurance that the electric railroad
will be built leading eastward from
our city limits, giving us rapid transit
TO and from the great Mountain Chau-
tauqua. This enterprise means much
to the business men of our city. In
connection with the electric liue we
may also soon expect a-cOmpicte elce-
trio lighting system. All of these
enterprises call for very large invest
ments of capital and should receive
every possible aid and encouragement
from our citizens and residents out
side our limits.
Your attention is again called to the
desirability of extending Incorporate
limits, and inasmuch as provision is
made in the present charter, you have
full power to extend, and failure to
act in this matter at the present time
will certainly cause regret in the
future
The present existing land marks at
our street intersections should be care
fully preserved and established in a
permanent manner and | therefore
recommend that a competent surveyor
or engineer be entrusted with this
work and that such other points be
established as will define our street
lines. The Importance of this is
brought to your attention frequently,
of late, and should have your very
early consideration.
The extension of curb lines where
ever possible and the erection of ad-
ditional curbing is one of the most i'm
portant improvements that can be
made, and urgently recommend that
more curling be purchased and this
work continued.
Unusual activity in the extension of
telephone and other lines emphasizes
Importance of the city's absolute con
troll of the location of all poles placed
within its limits and therefore recon-
mend that you pass a suitable ordi-
nance protecting the corporation's
interest in these matters and that it
also be required that, where prac-
tical, cables displace the present net
work of wires on our main streets.

couple of years in carrying ON their
business while the upper story is oc-
cupied by Mr.. Fringer as wall paper
sales room.
Some Improvement to the property

WHY is Insurance

Like a boy? Because it becomes a
man. (2) When does boy become a
man? When he becomes insured. (3)
When can the most becoming insur-
ance be obtained? Try the National
Life of Vermont, which is said to
issue the best insurance in the world.

MORE SCHOOL MONEY.
The Opinion Handed Down by The
rlaryland Court of Appeals
in the rIatter.
GARRETT WILL GET $500 ADDITIONAL
While Allegany and Washington Counties
Will Also be Benefited. The Case
Was.Instituted by Mr.. Robert Shriver
of Cumberland at Annapolis.

The case of Robert Shriver V. Josh
ua Herring, Comptroller of the State
OF Maryland, was decided by the
Court of Appeals last week and Albert
A. Doub, Esq, of counsel for Mr.. Shri-
yer, has just received copy of the
opinion of the court. Mr.. Shriver
asked that the coort require the com
troller to distribute the fund appro-
/ plated to white schools to the several
counties in proportion to their respec-
tive white schools population. Mr..
Shriver's petition was dismissed bv
the circuit court for Anne Arundel
county and the Court of Appeals,
while affirming the lower court, de-
cides in its opinion that the fund for
colored schools should be distributed
according to the whole population of
school age and not according to the
colored population in the several coun-
ties as heretofore done and it is expect
ed that the comptroller will hereafter
comply with this ruling of the court
without further proceedings on the
part of the plaintiff. So the result of
the case is as beneficial to Alleganv
county as it would have been if the
prayer for mandamus had been grant
ed. By the new method of distribu-
ton, Allegany county will receive
from the state school tax at least sc, 900
ho ~
not less than $4,000, and Washington
county more than $4,000 above the
amount heretofore allowed. Bal
timore city will receive approx
mately $4,000 above, the amount
distributed to her by the previous
method.
Mr.. Shriver was represented by
Messrs. Albert A. Doub and d. James
Blackiston as his attorneys in the
court below and Court of Appeals,
and Hon. Isidor Rayner, attorney gen.
eral, represented the comptroller.
Mr.. Shriver has long tried to get the
Legislature to amend the law and cor
rect the wrong done to Allegany coun-
ty but on the advice of his counsel,
who advised him that the existing law
had not been properly construed and
that on proper construction the dis
tribution would be fair one, he insti-
tuted this suit. He was supported by
the commissioners of the county
who, acting under the advice of Mr..
Doub, their attorney, assisted him in
the prosecution of the case. The fight
has been long one and Allegany coun-
ty has sustained severe loss by the
long delay in the adjustment of the
matter and it is matter of congratu-
lation to the people of Western Mary
land that success has at last been OBJ
tanned. No better service has been
rendered to the taxpayers of Allegany
county for long time and Mr.. Shriv-
er and the county commissioners, as
well as their counsel, who ably prose
cuted this case, are to be commended
for their valuable services rendered to
this county. -Cumberland News.

Old Fiddlers' Contest.

The contest of old fiddlers which is
to be held in the opera house in Oak
land next Saturday afternoon and
evening promises to be quite success.
So far twenty-five fiddlers have signi-
fed their intention of entering the
contest, the majority of them being
residents OF this county. Several,
however, reside in Pennsylvania and
West Virginia. The prizes are all
handsome and well worthy to be con
tested for. The citizens of Oakland
will patronize the contest very liber-
ally.

NEEDS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD

There never has been time in the
history of Georgia when as much in
terest was being manifested in the
cause of education as now. All classes
of citizens are desIrous of giving theR
children the very best advantages of a
thorough school course, and are evinc-
ing disposition to make all sorts of
sacrifices in order to supply their boys
and girls with the valuable equipment
of an education which, heretofore, has
only been enjoyed by the favored
children of the rich who could afford
the luxury of college course.
It was doubtless this patriotic and
progressive spirit which dominated the
honorable gentlemen who compose the
board of education of this city, when
they endeavored to inject new life into
the public schools by introducing the
book rental system which, it would
seem, when thoroughly understood
and IN working order would have re-
bounded to the interest of all classes OF
citizens.
AS matter of fact our public school
fund at present is not sufficient to pay
the teachers and add anything in the
way of betterments or improvements
to the buildings.
