NEW ELECTRIC MODELS
SHOW RAPID PROGRESS

Economical Type of
Motor Car.

Those who judge electrics from
their knowledge of types of those eco
nomical vehicles that have been in use
for several years do not appreciate the
rapid progress that has been made in
recent models" said c. r. Erkman,
local representative of the Anderson
Electric Car Company.
1T is just as fair to judge the mod
ern electric by the performance of the
old one and two cylinder gasoline cars
as it is to compare the modern electric
with those built a few years ago
gas car owner nowadays who wants to
be up to the times knows he must have
six-cylinder car and some think they
must have an eight cylinder.
The public does not realize that the
modern electric is a forty-two-cy cylinder

stroke. In the old days electrics were
made with few as twelve and six

the modern electric is equipped with

Repairing County Roads.

simultaneously throughout the
county and in every district hundreds
of county road supervisors have laun-
ched into the annual overhauling and
repairing of the county's road system.
1t is a tremendous task and means
that approximately 1000 miles of road
in the county will be repaired and put
into shape for the spring and summer
heavy traffic. This system of road
consists only of the highways that are
owned by the county. Besides this
there are hundreds of miles of roads
that are owned by private road cor
porations and companies, and by the
state. The county merely repairs the
roads over which it has supervision.
Recently the word went down the
line to the supervisors from the coun-
ty to launch into the spring repair
work. 1t is ideal weather for this
sort of work One of the commits
sioners remarked yesterday that it has
been years since the county has had
such an ideal opportunity to repair
it's system of roads.
The county annually pays about

making and repairing. There are hun
dreds of road supervisors appointed
to have charge of certain sections of
roads in the fixed districts of the
county. These supervisors in turn
employ workmen.
The county commissioners are go
ing to be critical when they fix their
official stamp of approval on the roads
after being repaired. This work is
being done directly under the super
vision of the county commissioners
Each one of the commissioners has
charge of certain number Of districts
in the county. Last year the roads
were reported to be in better condi-
ton than ever. This year the roads are
to be put into just that state of per-
fection that is warranted by the
amount of money that has been lev
led for this work
Repairs to the various bridges will
be done during this spring. Although
the county was swept by two or three
severe floods during the past winter
comparatively little damage was done
Only two or three bridges were swept
away. Some minor damage was done
to others.

Upholds Law.

Annapolis, April 9-In an opinion
written by Judge Urner in the case of
the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone company against Governor
Goldsborough and others constituting
the State Board of Forestry, appealed
from the Circuit Court, Part Ii, of
Baltimore city, the Court of Appeals
today upheld the validity of Chapter
S24 of the Acts of 1914, comforting
upon the Board of Forestry the right
of regulating the planting care and
removal of all trees along state roads.
The powers conferred upon the board
included the right to require per-
NIT for any cutting or trimming OF
trees and to charge fee for the
same.
The telephone company petitioned
for an injunction against the board
to prevent these requirements, de-
claring that it would interfere greatly
with their work and incur a large
expense and being a taking of priv
ate property without due process of
law The opinion upholds the right
of private ownership in the roads, not
withstanding the fact that the state
has been granted an easement for
their public use, but it holds that the
act is perfectly valid exercise of the
right of the legislature to make rea-
sonable regulations for the protec-
tion of the highways and it contains
no provisions which are arbitrary or
unreasonable.
The court also holds that the states
power in the matter may be delegated
to board or commission. The opin-
ion holds that there is no taking of
private property because there is no
Investment of property rights in any
thing
ing the Injunction was therefore
affirmed.

Agreement Between Western
Maryland and B. & o.

With access to the properties of the
Consolidation Coal company assured,
Thurmont in the northern section of
the county will soon become the scene
of the busiest coal traffic ever seen
in that section. Not that the business
of the town will be materially increas-
ed but monster trains of coal will pass
through the town enroute to Port
Covington, Baltimore.
For the past several weeks or
months the residents of Thurmont had
noticed an appreciable increase in the
freight traffic of the Western Mary
land lines passing through that town.
1t was living evidence that the busi-
ness of the Consolidation Coal com
panies was being diverted to the lines
of the Western Maryland.
The following is an extract from
the New York World:
"The exclusive announcement made
in The World several weeks ago that
John D. Rockefeller had found So
luton of the financial difficulties of the
Western Maryland, which he controls,
in the Consolidation Coal company,
was confided officially Thursday.
Announcement has been made of
an agreement between the Western
Maryland and the Baltimore and Ohio,
under which the Western Maryland
will use about twenty miles of the
Baltimore and Ohio track in order to
reach the properties of the Consolida
tion Coal company"
The Western Maryland has built a
connecting link of track from Cumber-
land to Connellsville. This connects
the Western Maryland with the Pitts
burgh and Lake Erie lines. But still
there was a distance of twenty miles
to consider before the properties of
the Consolidation Coal company were
reached.
Then it was question of either con-
structing an additional 20 miles of
road to give the Western Maryland
an absolute connection with the coal
properties, or arriving at an agree
ment with the Baltimore and Ohio.
For a time it was reported that the
Western Maryland would be compell
ed to construct the twenty-mile link.
This is not now necessary.
1t is believed in some circles that
the Baltimore and Ohio lines will Sc
cure quite a nice slice of the business
of the Consolidated Coal company
This has been circulating for the past
several weeks.

Panic at woodsboro Opera House

The crash of lightning striking
hay shed and the yell of "fire!" COM
ing from a youngster who poked his
head in the door of the Woodsboro
opera house, caused panic there
Saturday night, in which several
women went into Mysteries and many
persons narrowly escaped serious in
jury in the headlong rush down
fight of stairs to gain the open air.
The opera house was well crowded
at the time, and the clap of thunder
had already startled the audience sew
eral times when there came a clap
considerably louder than any of the
others. A moment later a group of
boys rushed to the door and one yell
ed ''Fire!" Immediately the entire au-
dience arose from their seats and
scramble for the stairway leading
from the motion picture hall on the
second floor to the door opening into
the street on the first floor resulted.
In the darkness of the motion pic
ture hall men and women fought and
pushed their way toward the stairway,
into the opening in which they became
jammed. Justice Marion c. Miller, of
Woodsboro, and Oscar Barrick, the
manager of the house, tried to stem
the tide, but were pushed aside in
the scuffle. The cries of hysterical
women added to the confusion.
Down the steps the fear-stricken
people, women, men and children,
pushed each other, falling and sliding,
one on the other. Finally, when all
had gained the street, they discover
ed that the fire was not in the opera
house building, but that the hay shed
on the farm of James A. Smith, of
Frederick, and which farm is occu-
pied by Frank Dockerty. was ablaze.
The group of boys, one of whom had
caused the panic, were running to-
wards the fire, which was a quarter
of mile away. The rain was COM
ing down in torrents and many wom-
en- who had rushed out or who had
been pushed from the building with
out their coats and wraps, were thor
oughly drenched. 1t took some time
to quell the confusion, after which it
was found that the most serious in
juries received were slight scratches
and bruises.
The hay shed was completely de-
stroyed. The other buildings on the
farm were not endangered the wind
driving the blaze in the direction op-
posite from them. The rain finally
eXtinguished the blaze, after most of
the hay had been burned up.
Fishermen are believed to have been
responsible for woods fire which
started on the place of Jackson Bell,
at Hoods mountain, about o'clock
Saturday afternoon and burned over
several hundred acres on the farms of
Near McDevitt, George Hamilton,
George Perry and John Massa before
it was extinguished late at night by
rainfall.
