WAS LARGELY DEFEATED
Zihlman Carried County BY SOS;
Senator France Has Il.

In addition to the five constitutional
amendments voted on at the election
in Garrett county on Tuesday, the
voters of this subdivision of the
State were also called upon to decide
by their ballots whether or not the
issuance of bonds for public school
purposes in the amount of $4,000 to
run over period of years should or
should not be issued. The only cam
paign made in favor Of the bonds was
that from the office of the Board of
Education from which circular let
tiers were issued and sent to the vot-
ers throughout the county.
In but one district, No. IS, did the
question submitted receive an affirm
ative vote, where a school building is
badly needed to house the pupils. The
vote in this particular district stood
IS against bonds and POS for bonds.
While Mr.. Zihlman received q ma
jority Of 865 in Garrett county, Sena-
tor Frances majority was but II,
according to the official vote as cam
vassed yesterday by the Board of Su-
pervisors of Elections.

The following is clipped from the

Sleyder is no longer a prisoner in the
Washington county jail. The girl was
given her release late Saturday fore

telephoned to a prominent merchant

Forest Fires in Garrett County.

u ~ q tLNs IA val " SOuIbt.
Mr. G. T. Backus, Of the United
States Forest Service, who travels in
the interests of forest protection
from Pennsylvania to North Carroll
ma, when recently in Oakland looking
over the records of the local wardens,
expressed great surprise at the num-
Der Of incendiary fires. More" he
said, than in any other State On the
Atlantic Coast"
Ee made that remark several
weeks ago. What would he have said
if he had been in Garrett county the
last of October when a dense pail Of
smoke hung over the entire county
when thousands Of acres We're burned
over, game driven out or killed-all
because someone wanted to see the
woods burn or thought perhaps they
could improve the range on land that
didn't belong to them anyway.
The records are not complete yet
by any means, but to date the incen-
diary fires are as follows:
Meadow Mountain, 1900 arcer;
Marsh Hill, 1000 acres; Backbone
Mountain 1900 acres, Roman Nose,
600 acres.
- Besides this appalling total of over
5000 acres, there are numerous small
fires, which, due to the vigilance Of
the Wardens were kept from reaching
such size.
Citizens of Garrett county, the
State Board of Forestry is pledged
to the suppression of forest fires and
is spending more money in this coun-
ty, not counting fire fighting bills,
than in any other similar area in the
State.
But if we doubled or trebled the
money we had available to spend
here, the desired results would not be
obtained without the cooperation Of
the community.
We can all point with pride to cer-
tain sections of Garrett county where
they rarely ever have forest fire.
Simply because the enlightened farm
ers of that community won't tolerate
the woods to be burned. If the woods
are fired they know who does it, and
they are given to understand that
such actions will not be tolerated.
Is it not time that the whole of
Garrett county be made safe flor
game and trees? J. A. COPE.
Assistant State Forester.
