it was when under the supervision of
a private corporation; and
Whereas, The Court of Appeals has
decided that the Annapolis Water
Company is a municipal plant, owned
solely by the citizens of Annapolis,
and therefore all legislation pertain
ing thereto, should emanate from the

ceive it's sanction; and
Whereas, No such bill has emanat-
ed, been considered nor received the
sanction of this Council therefore, be
il

elected, as the legal representatives of
the citizens to promulgate their in
terests and wishes, do herewith in
session assembled, this thirteenth day

teen hundred and eighteen condemn
said bill as a nefarious and autocratic
measure, passed solely for the intent
and purpose of legislating Mr. George

Annapolis Water Company, whom this
Council refused to re-elect; and be it
further
Resolved, That these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes and copy

Build Up Wood Fuel Reserves.

There is one feature of the present
coal shortage which should be con-
stantIy kept in mind by people with
wood supplies around them. Ills THIS
be early in the season and diligent IN
building up an ample wood fuel re-
serve for next winter. Should the
shortage OF coal be more widespread,
more marked, and last longer next
winter, as there is every promise OF us
doing, there would be no excuse Tor
wooded localities not having fuel FUR
thermore, the logical step to conserve
the coal in such a crisis would be TO
place an absolute embargo or the ship
ping and use of coal in such commun-
mites where wood could be used With
the prospect ahead that such step
would certainly be taken by the Fuel
Administration in an emergency next
winter. let each community get IN d
supply now when the labor is more
free to work at it, than later i'll the
season or the beginning Of nextwinter
Even in normal times it should be re
remembered that there are two chan
ces for failure Of the coal supply: o.
Decrease in production due to various
factors; and ~ tie.up in transports
ton. When these happen in norma
times they caused trouble. Under wa
| conditions we have have hadanexampl'
of how they can be emphasized.
Do not depend upon coal for mex
winter. Have wood ready and you ar
protected"

Jouisiaaa is said to have al least

weight OF 100 pounds each, would give
20 25O 600 pounds Of pork. But II only
half of the pigs, representing the MAZE
