ASKED TO AUTHORIZE

Takoma Park Council Gets
Request for Ordinance From
Phone Company.

The town council Of Takoma Park Nd.
last night discussed a request Of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company that an ordinance be adopted
providing for both overhead and under
ground telephone construction work. AT
present all the wires of the company are
overhead, and while 1t is not contemplate
ed to put any of them underground. still
the company desires the necessary au-
thority should it at any time be decided
to take this action, thus avoiding any de-
lay.
l.. A. Waters. right-of-way assistant
of the telephone company, explained the
proposed ordinance. The matter was re-
ferred to the new ordinance committee
composed of COuncilmen J. III. Van Hou-
ten, r. d. Rush and II. E. Rogers. with
instructions to make a definite report at
the next meeting Of the council.
Owing to lack Of available funds the
garbage service which has been in oper-
alton the past year will be discontinued
at the expiration of the contract on Octo-
Der %, until further action by the coun-
Gil
Sewer Question Waits.
The council has been informed by B. e.
Clark, clerk and treasurer of the Mont
gomery county commissioners, that the
board will await certain action necessary
to be taken by the citizens of Silver
Spring Park before taking up the propo-
sition of providing that suburb with the
sewer facilities by connecting up with
the town of Takoma Park
The council disapproved Of the claim
of H. H. Spencer for a refund of $11S92
taxes on property which he bought from
the town at a tax sale on April Il. 1906.
This amount included taxes amounting
to $96.O5 up to date of purchase, accord
ing to the town records. The property
was bid in by the town. but subsequently
transferred to Mr.. Spencer on payment
of $11S.92. and after two years he was
given deed to the property by the town.
An owner subsequently appeared and
through advice OF his attorneys Mr..
Spencer compromising the matter by the
payment OF $527. The property fronts
80 feet on Carroll avenue and contains
about an acre. Mr.. Spencer occupied the
property for about eighteen months, and
in the opinion of the council the amount
paid for 1t at the tax sale and the $500
he paid in compromising with the owner
whereby he secured a clear title was
much less than the real value of the
lot.

Interest TAKEN
IN new COLLEGE
People Over the State Are
Anxious for Methodist Col.
Iege to Start Here

Investigations over the state show
an unusual interest in the Methodist
College to be built at Bismarck. From
every section of the country reports
are coming in of a very encouraging
nature, the people saying that they
request that the school Is not now
ready to receive pupils. At least as
many as one hundred students would
have been enrolled this month had
the organization been completed so
they could have been received. The
interest outside of Bismarck is some
thing marvellous when it is consider
ed the little publicity given the mat
ter.
Bishop Luccock is to be in Bis.

those interested in the subject
There will be a large number of the
persons Immediately interested In
carrying out the plans, from outside
the city, as we'll as the Commercial
Club and others interested here, and
it is thought that at this meeting
much will be accomplished. Every
person interested should make 1t his
business to give this subject as much
attention as he can, and If possible
to meet with these people on the 26
