BIDS FOR NEW SANITARIUM
ARCHITECTS TO OBTAIN PROPOS-
AIS FOR COLORED INSTITUTION
AT HENRYTON.

At a meeting of the board of man,
ayers of the State tuberculosis SAM
tarium, held at the Office of former
United States Senator John Walter
Smith, instructions were given to Sill
Buckler & Fenhagen, architects, to
proceed with obtaining bids for the
erection of the main building of the
projected sanitarium for negroes at
Henryton.
1t is proposed to build the admins
tration building. kitchen and accom-
modations for 10 beds at this time.
Plans have been prepared for two
years and a year ago bids were ask
ed for, but were found to be too high.
The lowest bid was about $136,000,
while there was available in all only
$4,000. The last Legislature provid-
ed that 100000 of the new building
loan should be devoted to the negro
so that now there will be
available a total of $240,000.
The board has acquired about 100
acres of land on both sides of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the
will be erected on the Car
roll county side of the property. Elece
tricity will be supplied by the Spring
field State Hospital near Sykesville
and water will also be brought from
that institution, which is about three
miles distant.

-COUNCILMAN MATTHEW'S LEADS
MINISTERS ENDORSE MAYOR
K00NTZ.

Mayor koontz, with Babylon and
Matthews, was nominated last Mon
day night, at which time it appeared
there would be no opposition ticket
in the field. Near the end of the week.
however. Walsh and his running mate
came out on a platform calling for re-
organization of the local police de-
partment. Friends of the administra-
ton promptly took up the challenge
and the fight was carried even into the
churches. A number of ministers in
dorsed the administration ticket from
their pulpits Sunday.
The fight brought out the heaviest
vote Westminster has polled in years.
A total of 7S9 ballots were cast. Both
successful councilmen ran ahead of
the Mayor KoOntz. Mr.. Matthews
the highest on the ticket received 654,
with Mr.. Babylon one less.
All sorts of rumors were in circu-
lation about the ticket headed by Mr.
Walsh. Some were that Policeman
WeigIe and Clerk Snader were to be
relieved of their positions as other men
were already selected. That it was the
vets against the drys and other fool
ish gabber. From what we can learn
the fight was only against our chief
of police. We are at a loss as to why
they should want him removed. He Is
always attending to his duties and is
an excellent man.

THE STORY OF THE PAGEANT.

The Sheathing of The Sword" i!
an original pageant to be presented
! for the first time Saturday, June 10, a
BIS p. m. on the new athletic field in
| Westminster. The theme is based OF
Milton's line Peace hath her victo
ries no less renowned than War" Ap
preaching through the aisle of The
Ages, Peace and her attendants as
cend the dials in the center of the am
phitheatre. The Ancient Age calls
forth the Victories of Peace from
Greece. Rome and Palestine. The first
episode shows how the establishment
Of the Olympic Games in SS4 B. C.
brought a sacred truce to battle-tOrn
Greece. 1t is interesting to note that
throughout the centuries, war was not
waged during the celebration of this
great athletic festival. The seconc
episode portrays the dedication of an
altar to The Goddess of Peace which
actually took place in Is B. c. during
the reign of Augustus. The third
episode celebrates the birth of The
Prince of Peace by means of The
Gloria in Excelsis sung by a white
robed choir. Then The Medieval Age
d
Henry VIII and Francis l on the Field
Of The Cloth of Gold, in which the
kings of earth clasp hands after grim
battle" The Modern Age reveals the
United States at peace today with all
the nations of the world. The Hun
dred Years of goodwill between Eng
land and the United States are pre-
sented. The friendship of Japan for
our country is brought out by an in
teresting incident that occurred in
1910 when the school children of ia
pan drew up a resolution declaring
that they would never draw the sword
against the people of our country. The
American Indians assembled in their
Last Grand COUNCIL and smoke the
pipe of peace, declaring everlasting
friendship toward the warning tribes
and toward the White Brother. The
friendship between North and South
America is symbolised by The Pana-
ma Canal-"The Land divided-the
World united" The meeting of The
Atlantic and The Pacific is brought
out by dance drama and the twenty
nations of The Pan American
Union advance with banners through
the canal. The last episode. presented
by The Future Age, reveals a vision
of the world under Universal Peace.
A white robed multitude, carrying
garlands. and wearing the olive
wreath. surround the throne of Peace
declaring her ruler of the world. The
pageant concludes with the singing
Of The World Doxology of Peace.

AGAINST THE BOND ISSUE
WHAT THE SNYDERSBCRG COR.
RESPONDENT HAS TO SAY
ABOUT THE BOND ISSUE.

Again if you will permit us space
In your columns we are going to call
the attention of all taxpayers to the
special election on May 10, for that
immense bond issue of 100000 for
the construction of state roads and
immense high school buildings in fav-
ored sections. Do the parents of chill
dren in rural communities believe in
seeing the one room school closed,
which is now the case in some COM
munities. with no instructions higher
than the 9th grade in any rural school,
if you do then vote for the issue.
If you feel like paying more taxes
then vote for the bond issue.
If you think more miles of state
roads are necessary and you feel like
paying for building them and the up
keep of the same, then we say again
vote for the issue.
Don't be a Stacker if you think the
bond issue is necessary, go to the
polls on the 18th and vote for it, but
then if YOU see those imposing high
state roads built and the tax rate
goes soaring higher and higher, don't
chew the rag with the voter that vot-
ed against it.
We are against the bond issue and
shall continue until the dav of cleo
tion If you will permit it. Vote early
on the 18th and vote against it.
