Mr.. Dclany is slightly below medium

EX-GOVERNOR BROWN DEAD.
Career Of One Of Foremost
Citizens Of the State Of Maryland.

Former Gov. Frank Brown died
Tuesday in his apartment in Balti-
more. AIrs. May Brown Deiterich, the
Governors daughter and only. near
relative, was with him.
The funeral took place at 2 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon from First
Presbyterian Church Crew DR. Alfred
H. Barr, pastor of the church; off1ci-
ated. ..s..--
Frank Brown was born August s,
1916, at Springfield, Sykesville, the
old estate that had been the home
stead of his ancestors. His father,
Stephen T. Cockey Brown, was
grandson of, Abel Brown, the progen-
itor of the family. in. America, who
emigrated from DumfrieS, Scotland,
to Maryland in the early half of the
Eighteenth century, and, after a short
stay at Annapolis took mp the tract
in Carroll county which afterwiard
became known as Springfield. The
Governors mother had been, before
her marriage, Miss Susan A Bennett,
the daughter of a Carroll county
farmer.
He made his. debut as political
factor few years later. or in 1870,
when he was appointed to. a clerkship
in one of the State tobacco ware
houses.
Mr. Brown had grown sufficiently
in public esteem by 1876 to be the
successful candidate upon the Demo-
cratic ticket of Carroll county for
member of the House Of Delegates,
and he served in the sessions of 1876
and 1878, having been reelected in
1877. 1t is probable that he would
have continued in the Legislature
after 1878, for it is certain that he
could have been reelected, but
about this time both his father and
his uncle died, and by their death
the management of a very consider
able estate was thrown upon the
shoulders of Mr.. Brown, and he re-
turned to his Carroll county home,
where he gave much of his time to
the management of Springfield.
Mr.. Brown became Postmaster of
Baltimore in 1886 and retained the
post for almost four years.
Mr.. Brown sought the nomination
for Governor on one occasion when
his claims were not recognized. This.
was in 1887, when five candidates
were in the field In this convention
the Carroll countian controlled some
20 odd votes, which he held to the
end, He then announced that he
would be the candidate at the next
Gubernatorial election, which an
nouncement was fulfilled.
The Democratic Convention of 1891
met in Ford's Theatre on July 80,
1891, and, despite some opposition to
Mr.. Brown from the leaders, he was
the unanimous choice of the Conven-
tion, and was elected November 3,
1891. He was inaugurated January
13, 1892.

IL Ju0 OoIuOcTdLlC AUfUCdC6.
The Westminster Times in an edi-
torial in its issue of January Both, asks
this question: again how will Car
rou county Raise the money!"
This refers to funds to meet the
road and school demands, tnat not
only confront us now, but have con-
fronted us for several years. The
course to pursue seems so plain that
even a suggestion seems unnecessary,
put feeling that possibly a word may
help to bring about legislation to meet
the situation and give our people the
much needed roads and schools which
they are entitled to without being
burdened with further taxation, / at
tempt an answer to the question.
First, we must decide if we want
more hard roads and whether we want
to improve our schools. If we want
these improvements, then there is only
one sane solution-issue bonds, build
the roads and schools and have the
benefit of them at once.
The total income to our county this
year will be considerably over 100000
and with our fixed expenses around
100000 and our taxable basis con-
stantly increasing, we will be fully
justified in bond issue of $500,O00.
The difference between our receipts
and expenditures of 100000, will not
only pay the interest on the entire is
sue, but will retire a $4,000 bond
Zone twentieth of the issue) the first
year, and leave $4,000 to meet the in
crease in teachers salaries and other
demands on our county treasury.
The question of financing such a
proposition by direct taxation is be-
yond reason. Our experience of last
year conclusively proves this. With an
advance Of so per cent in our tax rate
in 1919, only two districts received
any permanent benefit, the other II
districts paid the larger portion of
this advance and received no benefit
whatever.
l can not conceive and l do not
believe there is single taxpayer in
Carroll county who would not favor
bonded Indebtedness to bring about
these benefits to all the people without
increasing our tax rate.
Other counties of our State and 9TH
er States, are pursuing this course.
Why should we hesitate longer?
1 hope to see the matter brought to
a conclusion at the earliest possible
date, so that Carroll county may en-
joy that which she is entitled to.

SIMPSON EXPLAINED HER DUTIES.

A meeting of the Parent Teacher
Association Of Westminster was held
in the High School building on jan
uary 49,
The meeting was called to order
at p. m. by the president, Mrs J..

prayer by the Rev. Arthur C. Day.
The minutes of the last meeting and
reports. of the several committees
We're read and approved. The treas
urer's report showed a balance of

At this point of the program the
association was favored with vocal
solo by Miss Harris, of Western Mary
land College, which was highly ap-
preciated by all present
Miss Jewell Simpson then gave a
talk in which she fully explained the
duties and purposes of her position.
She also explained her plans for
carrying on her work in a manner to
secure the highest degree of effic-
iency. This branch Of school work is
not well understood by many people
For this reason it is to. be regretted
that more were not present to hear
it explained. Miss Simpson is re-
garded as one of the best in her line
of work, and the people Of Carroll
county should consider themselves
fortunate in having one so well quail
fled for this important position.
Prof. w. H. Davis spoke of the
crowded condition on the high school
premises and suggested that some
action be taken to relieve these con-
ditions
A discussion of the situation fol-
lowed, resulting in the appointment of
committee to appeal before the
Board of Education at its next meet
ing. The committee was instructed
to request the Board to have bill
drafted providing for a bond issue of
sufficient amount to meet the present
needs in Westminster as well as in
other sections of the county. Upon mo-
ton the meeting adjourned.
