! at noon Wednesday 84persons-six ladies
-included-left for Frederick to confront
the commissioners. Citizens of Thur
mort working in Frederick also came to
the Court house and joined the delega-
ton in the Grand Jury room.
The commissioners not having finished
their dinner occasioned wait of about
half an hour. Finally they arrived and
| President Newman announced that the
Board was ready to hear the visitors.
Col. John R. Rouzer had been selected
at the Tuesday evening meeting to make
the opening address. In very eloquent
manner he told why he and so many Thur
mont citizens were before the Board
their object being to ask for new and
up-to-date school building.
Mr.. Chas. C. Waters and DR.. E. G..
Kefauver who had also been selected as
speakers followed Col. Rouzer.
Mr.. Waters, in no uncertain manner,
explained why new school building was
being asked for. He told the Board that
we were growing community and need
ed modern building in which to educate
the children of the town and community;
that we were asking for nothing more
than other towns having less pupils than
Thurmont are now enjoying and which
we as taxpayers are helping to pay for;
that we knew the Board had no money
with which to build, and that it was our
intention to petition the Legislature to
pass a bill authorizing a bond issue
sufficiently large to secure the amount of
money for the purpose.
DR.. E. c. Kefauver told of the santa
ny condition of the building as did also
Dr. M. A. Birely, both stating that ex-
listing conditions were menace to the
health of both pupils and teachers.
Remarks were also made by Lester S.
Birely, chairman of the delegation, and
Messrs M. l.. Creager and l.. r. Waes-
che in behalf of new building.
After listening attenively to what had
been said, Mr.. Newman in behalf of the
Board addressed the visitors and stated
that if the facts were as represented
and he believed them true-Thurmont
needed a new school building and that
very badly. He admitted the Board did
not have money with which to build, and
advised that bill asking for an issue of
bonds be presented the Legislature at
once. DR.. C. l.. Wachter, Messrs P. f.
Lee, William p. Morsell, A. w. Nicode-
mus and Cyrus Flock, members of the
Board, each in turn pledged themselves
to support the bill if presented in the
Legislature and to do all in their power to
secure what was being appealed for. Mr.
White also promised his support. All
agreed that when so large a delegation
came before the board it meant great
deal and showed that the people were
sincere and needed what they were ask
ing for.
At the close of the hearing it was de-
termined that bill be Immediately pre-
pared and sent to Annapolis asking for
bond issue of $50, 10000.
Attorneys Chas. McC. Matthias and
Chas. C. Waters were authorized to draft
the bill. Without delay this was done,
the same being forwardedto our Senator,
Hon. John p T. Matthias.
School will open Monday morning next
in the school building. Perhaps two OF
the schools will occupy rooms elsewhere
in town.
