EROSTBURGSTATE NORMAL |
REVUE A GREAT SUCCESS
Miss Hazel Englehart, of Acct
dent, Took Prominent Part.

The Frostburg State Normal Revue
of 1922 was presented by thirty-seven
students of the school in the Mary
land Theatre in Oakland last Friday
evening to a packed house. The Revue
of last year won fame for itself
when some forty students of the
same school presented it, so this year
the theatre was crowded fifteen min
utes before the curtain raised for the
first part. Reserved seats not having
been sold for the entertainment made
it imperative for those who wished to
obtain seats to go early.
Many of the characters appearing
this year were very favorably re-
membered from last year, while 9TH
ers who were here for the first time
made delightful impression upon the
Oakland people. Miss Hazel Engle-
hart, of Accident, who is we'll known
by many of the young people of Oak
land and in other parts of the coun-
ty, took one of the most prominent
parts with much credit to herself.
Miss Thomas, who took the part of
an Italian last year, and who aston
ished her audience with her musical
ability, was with the company this
year and very ably took the part of a
Russian boy as Max Kreisloff, vio-
linist of fame.
The musical numbers presented
were from several musical comedies
of the past season and were rendered
with excellent taste and much credit
to the school and the glee club.
The net proceeds, which amounted
to more than 500, goes to the Garrett
County High School for the purpose
of defraying the expenses of the COM
ing commencement

TROUBLE IN ASSESSING AUTOS
Assessors Declare that Many Eva
SiOnS are Made by Owners

Evasion of taxes on the part of
Maryland auto owners, was charged
in the meeting of the State Tax Com
mission and the countyc commissioners
recently held in Baltimore. A report
read at the session held for thediscus-
sion of state wide assessment plans
told that much difficulty was en-
countered in assessing automobiles
and indicated that this matter might
become grave problem, through the
executive veto lately placed on a bill
passed by the last Legislature which
required the Motor Vehicle Commiss-
ioner to furnish at the State Tax
Commission and County Commits
sioners' will, data concerning auto
mobile ownership.
Attending members of the Board
of County Commissioners from Allie
gany county, decided together with
Commissioners from other counties,
during the conference, that county
boards should appoint assessors. The
matter of re-assessment of all real
and personal property was placed
under discussion during the meeting.
