The Biggest Piano.Se||ing Accomplishment in
The History Of {. {. C|arkSOn & Company
EDITORIAL NOTES FROM
1.-THE Music Trades"
April %, 1916.

Confronted by physical OBJ
stacles quite unprecedented in the
history of the Piano industries
and trades, manufacturers OF
Pianos and Player Pianos have
been forced by advances in the
price of every item of material
that enters into the making OF
instruments TO increase the prices
of their products. In both raw
and finished materials the Piano
manufacturers have been subject
to sharp price advances since the
outbreak of the European war,
and where the source of supply
of certain goods, such, for exam
pie, as bushing cloth, has not been
altogether cut off by the closing
of the German ports, the cost has
been so far increased as to double,
or even treble, the figures quoted
at the outset of the war. Fur
thermore, the impui ters, produc-
ers, and distributors of many
kinds of raw materials announce
their unwillingness TO accept
any contracts for future de-
livery that are not subject to fur
ther increases without notice. In
fact continued advances are looked
for alike by the Piano manufac-
turing trade and by the supply
houses.
One Of the important essentials
of Piano finishing, which has vir-
tually gone out of the market in
so far as stocks of the crude ma
etrial are concerned, is ivory. Al
though limited stocks are held by
the Piano key manufacturers and
supply men, importers 'of the
product report that there is mot
stick OF ivory" to be had in the
open market. Prices for ivory
accordingly have scared to a point
where averages may no longer be
dealt in nor percentages quoted.
The price increases are by no
means confined to Piano mate
rails, hardware and accessories,
but apply with equal force to
every degree OF factory operation
and all factory supplies, including
construction material, coal, ma
chinery, tools, safety devices, la
Dor and every item of overhead
maintenance.

Manchester for the Academy.
In 1883 the Academy discontinued
entirely its session and in the Ses-
sion of the Legislature OF 1885 the
Board of the County School Commits
sloners requested that the money in
the treasury and the annual appro-
priation to the Academy be assigned
TO it for use in the county. This was
granted with the proviso that AN
extra term of school be granted the
Manchester Public School.
1t is also understood that at about
the date of the above events in the
career Of this Academy, the Trustees
agreed to assign their duties to the
Town Council of Manchester. This
action is recorded on the minutes.
The building is now leased for pri-
vate use, by the trustees, the Town
Council acting i'm their capacity as

BALTIMORE AND

PIKE NO. MORE.
HAD BEEN In EXISTENCE OVER 100
YEARS-BOUGHT BY STATE-CoN-
TRACT WILL BE SIGNED AND TOLL
GATES TAKEN OFF.

The long pending controversy over
the section of the Baltimore and Reis-
terstown turnpike, leading twelve
miles from Westminster to the Penn
sylVanla line, two miles south Of Lit
tlestoWn, has reached settlement.
AT a meeting held Saturday evening
attended by Governor Harrington,
President Zouck, of the State Roads
Commission, the Mayor and Common
Council of Westminster and the Coun-
ty Commissioners of Carroll county
and representatives of the Turnpike
company had a discussion about the
contract the city council had with the
Turnpike company and some differ
ences about the entrances to the town
by the State Roads Commission.
Several months ago the State Roads
commission agreed to take over and
build State road, four miles in length
from the Pennsylvania line to Union
Mills, but declined to do anything un-
I'll they could get control of the whole
road. Agreement has now been reach
ed, whereby the turnpike company will
turn over the whole road to the State
for the sum of $4,000; the State will
build the road from the State line to-
Union Mills: the county agreed to keep
IN repair the seven miles from Union
Mills to the corporate limits of West
minister until the Roads Commission has
funds available to make that part of
the line a state road. Under its old
franchise the turnpike company was
required annually to pay the city of
Westminster the sum Of $500 for the
use of its street. In consideration of
the abandonment of this charge the
Roads Commission agrees to complete
the road at the west end of Westmin-
Ster from the corporate limits of the
city to Union street, the Washington
road from the corporate limits to
Main street and Washington avenue;
and from the turnpike between West
minister and Baltimore from the cor
porate limits to Main street and WASH
lngtOn avenue. each 16 feet wide and
maintain them as state roads The
two toll gates between Westminster
and LittlestoWn will be removed as
soon as the papers can be signed by
the proper parties and every thorough,
fare in the county will be free to the
public and only one toll gate will ex-
ist-that on the short road in the
town of UniOntown. The Washington
turnpike is now being resurfaced by
the State Roads Commission and will
be completed within a few weeks and
work will soon commence on the road
between Westminster and Reisters-
