Importance of Roads Congress

Baltimore, Sept 30.-Referring to
the American Road Congress, which
meets in Atlanta in November, and to
which Governor Goldsborough has just
appointed 40 delegates, Richard H.
Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturers
Record, who is a member of the exec
utive committee of the Road Congress
said:
"It will be very desirable for Mary
land to be fully represented at the
Atlanta meeting of the American Road
Congress. This will be by fan the
largest gathering in the interest of
the South, and possibly the largest
ever held in the country. Except for
the conditions brought about by the
war it is quite certain that the attend
ance at Atlanta would have far ex-
ceeded the great attendance in De-
troit last year, and, notwithstand war
conditions, it is possible that this may
yet be true. The engagements made
for exhibition space by road machin-
cry people and all others interested in
making or selling road equipment, in
dicate the most comprehensive exhibit
of the kind ever made in the country,
and no one, especially city and county
officials, interested in any phase Of
road building activities, can afford to
miss studying these exhibits and meet
ing at the Road Congress the fore
most engineers and road-building ex-
perts of every kind from every part
of the United States.

CITY'S BONDED DEBT.
Coming Year viii Be One of Strictest
Economy With No Unnecessary Ex-
penSes-Big Effort to Get Finances
in Good Shape.

| Frederick's bonded Indebtedness has
been reduced from $4,000 to $4,000
in compliance with an act of the
Maryland Legislature, passed during
the last session. Two days ago City
Register Nicodemsu bought up $685.
600 worth of the city's notes as they
became due, thus complying with a
law which goes into effect today.
In two months City Register Nico-
| demus has collected in taxes $47,222,-
| 6S. Because the rate was fixed a
| month earlier than in former years
| this is considered to be fine collec-
ton. For the first two motnhs of 1918
S44, ,452.S4 was collected in tax money.
This is an increase of $1,769S4 over
the previous years collections for the
same period.
The members of the Board of AL
dermen have been discussing in sub
dued tones and in serious manner
the possibility of failing to comply
with the act passed by the last Leg
islature, which made it mandatory
on their part to reduce the city's bond
ed Indebtedness to $4,000. They had
been compelled to borrow repeatedly
to meet interest on bonds and feltf
that nothing but strict economy
would bring them out.
Went Up 70 $50,G00.
When City Register Nicodemus sub
mitted his report on July 20, the city's
indebtedness was $4,000. That was
fifteen thousand dollars above the
dead-line On July l, $4,000 more
was borrowed to meet the interest on
bonds, bringing the city's debt up to
almost half a hundred thousand dol
lars.
Because of this new law and urged
on with the hope of reducing the tax
rate next year, there has been a sort
of mutual understanding between the
members of the board that this shall
be year of strict and rigid economy.
No more expenditures unless abso-
lutely necessary, will be made or pro-
vided for. 1t is believed that at the end
of the fiscal year the city's finances
will be in good shape, with many of
the larger debts paid off.

The compulsory school attendance
law of Frederick county, is bringing
results, although the Superintendent,
G. Lloyd Palmer, and his assistants
have not yet begun their campaign
to bring into the schools of the coun-
ty, youngsters between the ages OF
eight and fourteen years. The par
ents are voluntarily putting into the
schools children as old as thirteen
years, who have never before attended
school.
This is particularly noticeable in
the colored schools of the city. Yes
terday Superintendent Palmer visited
the colored schools and found child
ren in the primary grades as old as
thirteen years, who had never be-
fore been inside of a school building
or had attended school.
"That is in itself an illustration
of the good that the enforcement of
this law is to bring to the community
and the county," said the superintend-
ent in talking with reporter for The
Post yesterday. 1t is just this class
of children, those who have not been
sent to the schools and who have not
lhad an opportunity to avail themsei-
yes of the advantages of an educa-
ton that the officials want to assist.
They would much rather have the
parents realize this, than to force
them to put their, children in the var
ious schools of the county.
Limit To Work Permits.
The Superintendent further explain
ed that when parents applied at the
office of the school superintendent for
permits for their children to work,
that none would be granted unless
they had passed the fifth grade, in
spite of the fact they were fourteen
years of age. This assures that ev-
cry child in the county will have at
least been drilled in the rudiments of
education.
At the colored school yesterday Mr..
Palmer found an enrolment of 113
in theh primary grades, which is con-
sidered large. The pupils are divid-
ed into two classes, one of SO and the
other of % members. 1t was among
this number that some children 13
years of age were found.
Census reports are coming into the
Office of the superintendent in large
numbers. Action will be taken on
them at once While no estimate OF
number of children that are not at
tending school, according to the re-
quirements of the law could be made
the superintendent says that the num-
Der is comparatively small. He said
that it was an indication that the
parents were realizing the value oil
the enforcement of the law and were
taking voluntary action.

GASOLINE TANKS.
Aldermen Grove and Cutler Vote to
Remove Them and Phebus, Shoe
maker and Abbott Vote to Retain
Them-DiscussiOn Grows Warm.

The question of removing the RE,
Sentinel gasoline dispensers from
the curbs of Frederick is just abou
as far from being solved as it wa
two months ago. After hearing dis
cussions in regard to the removal o.
| the dispenser of the National Gar
age Company. at Court and Patrick
streets last night at a special meeting
of the Board of Aldermen, motion tc
order the removal of the dispenser
within twenty days, offered by Alder
man Cutler. was defeated by a vore
OF three to two.
Aldermen Cutler and Grove voted
FIR the removal. Alderman Shoe
maker, Phebus ar1 AA>ott voted
against the motion.
Alderman Cutler offered a motion,
seconded by Alderman Grove, in
structing the City Attorney to draft
an ordinance providing for the re-
moyal of the dispensers from the
street. No action was taken, or, rath-
er, the motion was Withdrawn for
the time being.
The dispensers are installed at the
National Garage Company building
and D. F. Davis coach factory.
George L. Mobiey told the menv.
bers of the Board of Aldermen last
night that he had gotten information
from City Engineer Crum to the eff
feet that there would hardly be any
objection to the installation of the
dispenser. Mr.. Mobley said that he
in turn gave this information to Mr.
Shipley, member of the garage COM
pany.
Engineer Crum Denies Authority.
Engineer Crum fatty denied that
he had given any permission at all
for the installation of the plant. He
said that he told Mr.. Mobley that he
had no power to grant permits for tie
installation of the tanks and dispeu-
sers.
Arthur d. Willard appeared before
the board representing the National
Garage Company Mr.. Davis was not
represented, nor did he attend the
meeting.
City Attorney Edward j. Smith said
that the city could grant a permit for
the installation of the tanks, with the
proper restriction
The bone of contention on the part
of Aldermen Cutler and Grove was
that the dispenser congested the traf-
fic in view of the fact that it was 10
Gated at the intersection of Court and
Patrick streets. Alderman Grove af-
ter explaining that it did congest traf-
ic, told the members of the Board
that his motives had been misconstru-
ed by some citizens Of the town, and
that he wanted it understood that any
stand he took was because of his
sense of duty to the city. Mr.. Mobley
intimated that there might be "pre-
iudice" on the part of Alderman
Grove.
Aldermen Abbott and Shoemaker
contended that officials of the city
had seen the company installing the
plant and didn't stop the work. They
were in favor of granting permit.
Alderman Phebus said that he didn't
favor the awning pole and hitching
post ordinance, and for that reason
wanted the present dispenser to stand.
1t is felt that the matter has not
been definitely settled. Alderman
Grove intimated that he might have
the law tested. There are several or
dinances, which some of the Alder
men claim prohibit the installation
of the dispensers.
