City Has No Money for Pipe Line

ClCy has NO money Tor ripe Line.
Whereas, on account of recent leg
islation passed by the General AS
sembly of Maryland of 1914 providing
for an exemption of $500 on household
effects and losses which the corpora
ton will sustain by reason of the de-
crease in taxes TO be paid by banking
institutions and whereas the audit
submitted to the board of aldermen
On June 1, 1915, shows that certain
sinking funds have not been provided
for as required by law. the board Of
aldermen will not receive sufficient
amount from taxes to provide proper
sinking funds &c redeem the bonds
at maturity, provide for the current
expenses of the corporation and also
improve the water system by laying
an additional water main.
Therefore the board of aldermen
desire to inform the citizens of Fred
erlck that action on the proposed pipe
line will be deferred until Monday,
June Z, 1915, on which date the board
will convene in session at 7.30 o'clock
p. m. for the purpose of taking action
on the construction of the pipe line.
All persons interested are invited 10
attend this meeting. While the board
of aldermen realizes that the improve
ment to the water system is impera-
tive yet in view of the facts above set
forth and the recent act of assembly
which provided that the corporation
shall not borrow more than $4,000
the board of aldermen does not feel
justified in making the expenditure
for the pipe lle unless sufficient
number of citizens express their will
ingness to assist the city in securing
$4,000 with which the improvement
can be effected
'In the event the city is unable to
reimburse those who assist in secuT
ing the sum CT $4,000 from the
amounts received from taxes and WA
ter rents, the board of aldermen will
ask the Legislature of Maryland to
pass an act providing for the payment
of said loan. Any persons who desire
to cooperate with the city in fina-
cling this improvement will kindly APP
ply to the mayor or president of the
board of aldermen prior to June Z,

Frederick baggagemen are showing
signs OF worry as Wednesday, June 2,
approaches. This is the date set for
putting into effect the provisions of
the new Cummins act amending the
Interstate Commerce law obliging
travellers to declare the values on all
parcels of baggage checked on rail-
road tickets. The travelling public,
especially fussy ladies and hustliug
men, are also likely to be annoyed
when they find it necessary to set
close estimate on their baggage value
under penalty of a Jail sentence for
misstatement.
Any one who signs a declaration
dishonesty, a railway official who has
made close study of the new law
said, will be guilty of a misdemeanor.
For instance, if trunk is sent as bag
gage and declared to be worth $1G0
| and the trunk goes astray but turns
| up later and it is found a $500 dia-
| mond ring is in the trunk the owner is
liable to go to Jail. 1t is equally an
| offense to overestimate the value of
baggage.
The railroads now carry trunk and
other baggage not exceeding $50
| pounds in weight free with ticket of
transportation and assume liability
in cases of loss or damage up to 500.
They declare they cannot assume I'M
limited liability as permitted under
the Cummins act, but will accept the
| alternative of assuming the 500 liza
bility on each piece of baggage check
ed and insuring the passenger for all
over that amount on basis of ten
cents per 500, the rate laid down by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
