Protest to State Board.

That the State Roads Commission
has instructed its engineers to allow
practically no grading on the Jeffer-
son State road now under reconstruc-
ton, has caused a storm of protest
from taxpayers and users of the high
way. The road has been finished with
out grading of any consequence for
about six miles. There remains one
mile from Frederick yet to be con-
structed and that mile contains what
is known as Red Hill. This, while
short and inexpensive to grade, is the
worst on the road, or in this section
of the county 1t always has been
the bugaboo of Automobiles and re-
duces the load which the farmers can
haul over the entire road at least %
per cent. In view of the fact that this
ugly hill is within one mile of Fred
erick, the county seat, and is a bar
rier to miles of fine State road be-
tween Frederick and Harper's Ferry.
1t is hoped that the road commission
will reconsider its plans and will al.
low the contractor to at least use a
part of the excavation specified for
this road. 1t is understood that a
huge petition protesting against ma.
cadamizing this hill without grading
will be put before the commission if
this can be done in time. The con-
tractors, however, We're almost at the
hill before it was known it would not
be graded.

Confers With Commissioners.

There is a possibility that the re-
venue from the tax on private cor
porations and intangible property in
Frederick county may offset or at
least about equal the property that
was taken from the tax books of the
county by the furniture exemp-
ton and the bank tax reduction.
These were the things that were con-
sidered Tuesday during a conference
between the county commissioners
and Allen C. Girdwood, of the State
Tax commission. The conference
lasted nearly the entire day.
I'VE were talking over matters re-
lative to the assessment of private
corporations and intangible property"
said one of the commissioners when
asked for something definite concern
ing the meeting.
Mr.. Girdwood told the commission
ers that about 100000 had been add
ed to the basis of Allegany county
by overhauling the assessment of the
private corporations and by corral
ing intangible property.
The commissioners would give no
definite statement in regard to the
amount which they hoped to place
on the tax books by virtue of this
scheme. They hoped at least to place
enough property on the books to keep
the basis at its present stage.
With visions of at least preventing
the basis from slumping the commits
sioners hope to make a reduction in
the tax rate. The limit of the reduc-
ton has been set at about 10 cents,
from last years $1.10 to 81.

BUCKINGHAM MAKES
 NOVEL DECISION IN /. COMPENSATION CASE
Sub contractors Unmet Lia- bi1ity Devolves on First
 Contractor.

That where sub-contractor fails to make provision to guarantee his employees workmen's compensation, the original contractor is liable, is en1- bodied in decision handed down to- day by Compensation Commissioner Buckingham. The decision is the first of it's character ever rendered In this state.
 The commissioner finds that Hugh Murphy, who was seriously injured in a. fall at the West End theatre on June 1, is entitled to com pensation and reimbursement for his medical, hospital and surgical bills. Murphy was employed by Peter Markey, 8 sub-contractor, who was hanging a metal awning known as a marquee. Barkey was a sub contractor for Au- gust Blycher. According to the fnd-. ing of Commissioner Buckingham the sub-contractor was an Irresponsible person and immed1arety after com pleting his contract he left for parts unknown.
 The Aetna. Liability Co. of Hartford, the lnsurlng company for B1ycher, held that Marxey was. the employer of Murphy and a person employing less than five persons therefore could not be held liable.
 Murphy will receive s1o weekly from June 12 and continuing during the time he is unable to work.
