TOWN AND VICINITY.


A correspondent of the Cumberland

The little town of Mt. Savage is trying to
keep two electric theatres going and they
both have fairly good attendance.
Good grac Gus! The same is true of

man here whose pictures do not talk,

The Pennsylvania and Maryland Rail

nings, of Jennings, Nj l., is president,
has placed a IN )rtglgt of $l,O))0l0 on
its property in favor of TIL Farmers

Whether any of this money will be
spent on the proposed extension from
Salisbury, Pa, to this place, is not
known, but probably not, as the line
between Meyersdalc and Johnstown is

Tale of Two Cities,


w. o. Atwood, one of the Opening
Street Commissioners of Baltimore
sympathizes with the "cIitf ,dwelle rs"-
that is, those property on North
avenue where the engineers have re-
duced the grade below Natures level
from to 6 feet, leaving the people who
used to live on terra .frma, up in the
air"
l.. Irving German, a real estate man,
"blames the city for not advising build
ers that the thoroughfare would be
lowered so materially before the homes
were erected in conformity to the grade
of the street before the big hill between
Smallwood street and the Western
Maryland railroad bridge was cut down.
He also stated that if he owned one of
the cliff dwellings he would make the
city reimburse him for the damage done
his property by putting his home and
family up in the air"
Quoting Mr.. Atwood again another
statement is found worthy of FrOstburg
attention:
The grading has now gone too far to make
any change, and in justice to the property
owners they should be reimbursed for the
cost of letting down their sidewalks to the
new level. The cost of constructing the
walks should be paid by the owners, be-
cause that will be comparatively small after
the new sidewalk grade has been established
and, besides, no assessment cdS mdde upon the
property-o@HerS for the pairing.
Mark that-"no assessment was made
upon the property owners for the
paving"
And this is used an argument with
the property owners that they should
submit to the small cost only of laying
their sidewalks anew.
Why can't Frostburg learn something
from these instances abroad instead of
sticking to the Bourbonism-"this is the
way it was done last year? ?"

The first brick was laid in front of the
Thursday morning, October 20, 1908
and the pavement is now up to and past
the JOURNAL Office. When work ceased
at 1850 p. m, 200 linear feet, or 444
square yards, had been laid, the work
men meanwhile handling 1881 brick.
Barring the unsightly change of grade
and consequent injury to sidewalk con-
functions with abutting property, the
work looks well.
Beyond Charles street the effort to
take up the bed of solid slate is strenuous
and slow, and why foundation of this
character should be removed and one
not as good laid in its stead is a riddle
that puzzles every man in Frostburg,
save one.
The work and expense are so useless
that these items will logically constitute
a valid argument against ever laying
another foot of street paving in Frostbug.

Strongbow's Tomb.

StronSboWs tomb for centuries WAS The
place where the tenants of the lands be-
longing to the church came four times
a year 10 pay their rent. 1t became a
sort of real estate Office for the managers
of the ecclesiastical properties. In the
ancient leases and deeds it is specified
as the place for making payments, and Il
cup shaped depression in the head Of the
old hero marks the place where the
money was laid.
The interior Of The church has many
points of beauty. especially The splendid
StoneN ork of the nave and aislcS, ana
the graceful arches. which. although very
massive. are chisrIcd with such delicacy
that their hoaEineSS does not appear. The
floor IS covered with modern tiles. which
are exact copies of the originals. and in
the restoration of the building the archi-
tect has shown similar conscientiousness
in all his work. The great age of the
stone gives ii n rich and mellow tone
and although here and there one may
come across evidences of decay or dam
age. il is in better condition than most
of the modern churches of ireland.
