w. M. PROPERTY DESTROYED

Early last Sunday morning fire de-
stroyed the mechanical department
office and store building of the West
en Maryland Railway at Hagerstown.
Officials place the loss at 100000.
The destruction of all the contents
of the storehouse, the largest on the
system, was responsible for the heavy
loss.
A score of railroad detectives have
been working on a report that the
building was set afire by former shop
employees, 900 of whom have been, on
strike here since March rs, 1922. The
first anniversary of the strike was Gel
ebrated with big parade and mass
meeting.
AS there was no fire about the build
ing, which had been locked up follow
ing the days work on Saturday, there
being no one employed there at night,
authorities are led to believe. that
someone did set the building on fire.
The structure is heated by steam
plant which is located in another
building.

BETTER THURMONT

The above caption is the slogan
adopted by the Civic Club and eX-
presses its desire to cooperate with
the town authorities and citizens of
all ages and both sexes in making
Thurmont not only better but the best
town possible.
A Joint meeting of the Club, the
Mayor and Town Council developed a
spirit of cordial cooperation and mu-
tual helpfulness. In order to have
cleaner streets the town authorities
have decided to place metal contain
ers on the square corners and other
places in which will be collected pa
pers and other debris which render
the streets unsightly and unsanitary
1t is hoped the collection of peanut
shells and store boxes which have
sometimes obstructed the path OF
church goers on Sunday morning will
also be among the missing. Other
phases of town improvement will be
taken up later and articles thereon
will appear in The Clarion from time
to time.
These suggestions are not made in
a spirit of carping criticism, but in
a sincere desire to inspire in the peo-
pie of Thurmont a wish to improve
the town in every way and"where
there's will, there's way'.

Coal is selling as low as $2.15 to
$3.50 a ton in the Clarion, Pa, Sec
ton and the demand is so light that
many mines are being shut down
rather than operate at loss. Oper-
ators who have self-draining mines,
where the expenses cease when coal
production stops, are closing their
pits, while operators who are COM
PEELED to continue pumping whether
they are operating or idle are search
ing for orders with a hope of break
ing even on the cost of operations.
Many operators declare that the mar
ket is glutted with coal, despite the
fact that big eastern and western cit
les report coal high and hard to get
Exchange.
If coal was selling at the above
price around The Catoctin Clarion
section we believe we would be willing
to rent the little "stone jug" down
Roots Alley for domicile in order to
make room for next winters supply

GARAGE RESPONSIBLE FOR
STOLEN CAR

That a garage is responsible for an
automobile left for repairs, even tho
that car is stolen from the street in
front Of the garage where it had been
left by the owner, is the opinion hand
ed down recently by the Georgia Court
of Appeals in affirming the Judgment
of the lower courts.
Judgment in $2,700 was given w.
D. Manley, an Atlanta banker, against
an Atlanta garage, the latter contend
ing that Manley should have locked
the car. 1t was stolen from the street
in front of the service station a short
while after it had been left there for
repairs by the owner. The court held
the garage is responsible just as long
as the car is in it's possession, regard
less of where it is stolen.
