kLEX. c. MASON WAS iP-
POINTED ROAD ENGINEER

County COmmisSiOners-0ther
Appointments.

The new road law for Garrett county
which became effective on September
LIST last, and under which the appoint
ment of road supervisors and the road
engineer for the county was made last
week by the Board of County Commits

during the coming twelve months.
Under the provisions of the new law
it was incumbent upon the voters of

of the respective districts, and from
this list the Commissioners are COM
PEELED to select the name of one for
district supervisor. All the districts
with the exception of Nos. 9 and II
complied with this section of the law,
and from the names thus submitted the
appointments of district supervisors
were made last Friday morning just
prior to the adjournment of the Com
missioners' meeting.
Another important provision of the
law is that creating the office of Road
Engineer, who is to have direct super
vision over the district supervisors and
who is given power to direct the repairs
to roads and bridges and see that the
work of the supervisors is properly
done. The office is a most important
one and the power of appointment is
vested in the Commissioners who made
an excellent selection when they named
Mr.. Alexander C. Mason as engineer.
His tenure of office is for the period of
four years at salary of $500 per year
and he cannot be removed except for
malfeasance in office
The district supervisors named by the
Commissioners are as follows:

Scranton until three years ago, when he
moved to Wilkes-Barre. His divorced
wife and children still live in the former
city. On Thursday afternoon, Shiffer,
with his brother, entered the Weiss ho-

ed into the room. He was hurried into
