SCHOOL BOND ISSUE.
IN FOR HARD JOLIS
Hartford Taxpayers Have Begun TIC
MestiOn Wisdom OF Plan.

Belair, Md, March 26.-The bill
recently passed by the Legislature
authorizing the Commissioners oil
Hartford County to issue bonds to the
amount of $250,O00 for new school
buildings and school improvements
is being weighed seriously by the tax
payers and will continue until II
comes up for approval or rejection
at the general election next fall.
While the bill has its ardent sup
porters, on the other hand, from re-
ports in many quarters, the bill Will
have some rough shedding If 1t is at
tempted to be put into effect this OF
next year, as it is contended that the
taxpayers are in no mood to be FUR

The Belair Times, in an editorial
the past week takes up the cudgel
by doubling the wisdom of attempt
ing to inf1ict the heavy bon dlssue on
the people at this time.
The article in part is as follows: :
THE question of a $4,000 BOND

Zone difficulty with our educators
is that they adopt higher standard
in general requirements than the peo-
pie are able to afford, or even the
pupils requires for a satisfactory
training. The standard is usually
imported from some of the western
States, which years ago, in the days
of spare population and unsettled
territory, set aside tremendous tracts
of land for educational purposes. Ill
the course of time this property be-
came of extraordinary value and
supports, so we are told without in
dividual taxation, the entire school
system of the State.
Such a situation, therefore. is en-
tirely different from our own, where
the school fund constitutes one OF
the biggest fractions of our tax. II
is, therefore, manifestly an easy
thing for a high standard to be set
under such circumstances, but it is
also obvious that, what to them is
gratis, is to us a grievous burden. 1t
is mighty nice to see beautiful and
up-to-date school buildings. fine
athletic grounds, and gratifying to
see our teachers paid fine salariei,
but, after, all these are not the chief
essentials in obtaining an education

i DAMAGE VERDICT
: AWARDED IN WICOMICO
Judgment AiseS From Alleged
seizure OF Effects OF Is. r. Will
son, Once OF Cambridge.


Salisbury, Md, March pa jury
in the Circuit Court here late Friday
light. after only about 10 minutes
elaboration, returned q verdict for
the plaintiff of $4,000 in the $40
coo damage suit of Benjamin E. Will
son, of South Carolina, formerly OF
Cambridge against Lloyd Webster,
Cambridge lawyer and manufac-
tlrer. The verdict found was for
the largest amount brought in by
Jury in this county for years.
The attorneys representing Mr..
Wilson were eX-Gov. Emerson G.
Harrington and T. Sangston Insley
of Cambridge and F. w. c. Webb, of
this city. The defendants attorneys
we're Frederick H. Fletcher, Cam
bridge and F. Leonard Wales, of
Salisbury
The litigation dates back to May,
1920. During that month Mr.. Will
son being indebted on several judg-
ments and owing real estate, furni-
ture and personal securities in Cam
bridge, obtained employment in
South Carolina, and went to Webster
and arranged to sell him the Cam
bridge property for $4,000. Accord
| ing to testimony, Webster agreed to
pay off all the judgments except one
for about $1,000 on which he is al
legged to have agreed to take an as
signment and to hold until the end
| of 1920 without any attempt to force
payment.
The afternoon that Wilson and his
] family left Cambridge and after their
! departure it was testified that Web
ster assigned the judgment to Henry
L. Johnson, another Cambridge law
yer. The latter Immediately issued
an attachment and seized the goods
and after a delay of ten weeks dur
: ing which time he was communicate
| ing with Wilson sold them at public
sale after having given due notice
of his intention to sell by advertising
! the sale in the local newspapers.
! Evidence tending to show the suf-
fering occasioned by holding back
the household goods is believed tc
have been largely influential in the
verdict. 1t is understood that the
| defendant will ask a new trial.
