roads, 900 farmers, dairymen and others
from this and adjoining counties and
other places attended the thirty eighth
annual convention of the farmers of
Montgomery county, which was held
yesterday at Sandy Spring. Speeches were
made by Gov. Crothers, State Senator
Blair Lee and Chairman Tucker and
Commissioner Hutton of the roads COM

adopted urging that the proposed me-
mortal to Abraham Lincoln take the form
of a national highway from Washington
to the Gettysburg battlefield, and indors-

ment of the orphans court stricken out

tect the men from designing boarding
house keepers has done much to improve
their lot but 1t is considered by those
interested in their welfare that much
more should be done.

DANGER IN SCHOOL
Fears Boiler in Mckinley Man.
uaI Training Will Explode.
REPORT TO BOARD SAYS so
Overworked. Committee Declares,
and It's Location Under Assembly
Hall Endangers Pupils.

Danger of serious accident at Nc
kinney Manual Training School from the
overworkng of one of the boilers was
pointed out by the committee on schools.
SITES etc, at a board of education meet
ing at the Franklin School yesterday
afternoon The proposition Of the Dis
trict Commissioners to charge the cost of
one of the new boilers of the third ex-
tension of the big school to the equip
ment fund brought forth the committees
report and a recommendation that here
after no architects commissions should
is that all the money for schools should
be paid directly for construction and
equipment.
The board believes that unless 1t can
place a certain boiler where it wants
there will be danger of an explosion. The
Commissioners find that there will hardly
be enough money to place third boiler
where the board wants it, and conse-
quently suggest paying for this boiler out
of the schools equipment fund This Is
not agreed to, as will appear from the re-
port of the committee
The suggestion is made to charge one
boiler of the third extension of the Nc
kinley Manual Training School to the
equipment fund, tc the end that there
may be retained in the appropriation FOR
the construction of the building sufficient
funds to enable the Comm ssioners to
complete the building in accordance with
contract which we understand has al
ready been accepted

Need Two Boilers Now.

The committee explained that some
toilet and wash rooms will have to be
changed, but that the installation of two
boilers is Of paramount Importance. The
report further says:
The committee begs leave to call forci-
bly, to your attention the fact that the
boiler room is located Immediately un-
der the assembly hall of the Mckinley
Manual Training School, in which at
some time in every school day a great
many, If not all, of the pupils Of the
scnoo are assembled. This location
seems anything but ideal to the COM
mittee but the location was fixed a num-
Der of years ago, before your present
board came into being. Considering,
therefore. the location of the boiler room.
the committee urges most strongly the
location of both boilers at this time. for
the reason that while it is possible one
boiler might be sufficient to supply
enough heat for the extension, it would
be unwise indeed to force the boiler to
its utmost capacity, and thus endanger
the lives of great many children.
The committee recommended that the
board should put the question of boilers
being charged to school equipment
fund up to the auditor, but the opinion
of the members was that the Commits
'sioners should get that decision.
