Hagerstown and Frederick Rail.
way Company Gets Fifty
Year Franchise.

A fifty year lighting franchise was
granted to the Hagerstown and Frederick
Railway Company on Wednesday even
ing, February 4th, by unanimous vote
at special meeting of the Board of Al
dermen. In return for this franchise the
Hagerstown and Frederick Railway
Company relineuishes all rights to the
perpetual franchise Of the company which
ostensbty expires in 1922.
The Board of Aldermen of Frederick
passed the following resolution on We'd
nesday evening:
That the City Attorney be instructed
to prepare an ordinanch granting to the
Company the right to manufacture and
sell the current within the corporate
limits of the city for period oi so years
under certain restrictions and conditions
and provisions as set forth in the ordi-
nance"
Representing the Hagerstown and
Frederick Railway Company, were
Messrs Emory L. Coblentz, Thomas
H. Haller, James H. Gambrill. Jr., and
David Lowenstein appeared before the
Board of Aldermen on Wednesday even
ing and asked that the FRANCHISE be
granted to the company.
Mr.. Coblentz explained that the COM
pany desires the franchises of the COM
pany to be in such condition that they
extend beyond the life of the securities,
which would be issued. He farther ex-
planned that this franchise was necessary
to complete the plans for the financing
of the company.
In granting the request Of the repre-
rentatives of the Railway Company the
Board of Aldermen have secured point
tor they have taken in the old franchise
which in the opinion of some
of the best legal authorities of the State
was a perpetual franchise. Under this
franchise the city did not have the re-
strictions that will be gained under the
new franchise.
The members of the board came to
their decision only after much thought.
They have had this proposition in mind
for some time and at the meeting unan-
imously granted the franchise. The or
dinance granting the franchise will be
submitted to the vote of the board at a
future meeting.
both the lighting franchise of the COM
pany and the railway franchise will ex
pire at the same time. The new fran.
chise will become effective upon its pas
sage.
Mayor Fraley called the attention of
Mr.. Coblentz recently to the running of
an electric car on Tuesday night when
the fire apparatus had turned out for a
fire. The Mayor explained that it had
been reported that the electric cars raced
the Junior apparatus down the main
street and that collision was averted at
the Square Corner" by the narrowest
margin. Mr.. Coblentz said that the COM
pany had issued an order requiring all
cars to stop when the fire apparatus was
using the street. He said that the matter
would be thoroughly investigated and
remeded.

Tree 900 Years Old.

The "grand-daddy" chestnut tree Of
Frederick county is no more. 1t reached
the age of 900 years. it is estimated.
Death was due to general debility or
senility. The stately old tree was 10 feet
high, feet in diameter and about III feet
around. 1t made 10 loads of wood when
cut up.
The old tree was on the farm of Mr..
William p. Morsell which is along the
Jefferson pike near Frederick. This farm
was formerly part of the Edward How
ard estate, and generations of the How
ard family have seen this old tree and
gathered chestnuts from it. Mrs. VIM.
P. Morsell, who was Miss Howard be-
fore marriage, says she remembers her
father speak of the tree, which for GEN.
turies has stood through storms and sun
shine.
By counting the rings on the tree, Mr..
William Howard has made an estimate
that the old tree was fully 800 years old.
The tree was felled by Lewis Plunkard
and Jacob Henry. 1t was located near
the old Howard home, and was a famil-
lar sight to all who have been on the
farm.
If the tree is 900 years old, which is
very likely since chestnut trees do attain
great age and grow to immense size, it
has stood there since before the Revolu-
tionary War, going back to 1914 1t
goes back to the days of the Indians and
wildernesses, and if the old tree could
talk it could probably tell all kinds of in
teresting things. Frederick's whole his
tory was enacted during the lite of the
old tree.
The largest known chestnut tree is the
famous Castagno di cento cavilli, or the
chestnut of hundred horses, on the
slopes OF Mount Etna, a tree which when
measured nearly hundred years ago
was found to have a circumference oi
100 feet.
The chestnut tree Of the Howard es-
even in recent years.

Appropriation Law For Monte
tevue to be Enacted.

The law under which Montevue has
received $Io,oo from the State for
the years 1912 and 1918 will be
re-enacted within short time, according
to the announcement Of Jacob Rohrback,
attorney to the Board of County Com
missioners.
This sum supplies the deficiency be-
tween the sum appropriated by the
county for the care of the Montevue pa
tients and the actual sum required for
such care. The county appropriation is
that sum comes out of the $4,000 State
appropriation.
The original appropriation was only
for the years 1912 and 1913, and the re-
enactment is necessary to continue the
States support of the institution.
