of 1924 Exceed Any
Previous Year.

1t is established now that tbs
first three months Of this year wit
messed the issuance Of more build

nation, than the first quarter OF
any previous year. The immensely
of this fact emphasizes itself when
| it is recalled that last year in ita
turn held the championship, and
that 1922 held 1t in its turn. This
year is so, definitely above records
previously established that it would
seem that everyone is Fastening to

that il swelling the total to such
proportions, more than so per cent
of the whole amount being so al

Returns for official building sta.
tistics from 218 cities reported to
the American Contractor give the
astonishing large estimated valua-
ton of s$419, 043, 491 for 76,477 per-
mits issued. In the same cities last
year the total estimated valuation
was only 1891, 528,644 for 71,2N
permits issued.
The responsibility for the huge
figures rests largely on New York
City. In the five great boroughs
of the metropolis the valuation of
permits issued Is $188,627,232, or
practically IS per cent Of the value
accredited to the whole nation. The

enormous volume of work taking

a volume of work through. New

and for January its valuation was

FORD CAR WRECKS FIVE
TON STONETRUCKON ROAD
Latter Was Turned Over On its
Side While Flivver Came Off
With Little Damage

Yesterday afternoon Officer Cas-
teel was called to point on the State
road ten miles north of Oakland to in
vestigate a collision between a Ford
touring car and a stone truck of five
tons capacity which had occurred
short time before the officer received
the message and which, according to
the officer was rather peculiar ac-
cident in that the truck was thrown
upon its side and pushed nearly en-
tirely clear of the roadway, while the
fivver came off with only slight dam
age. Neither the driver of the Ford
or OF the truck received any injuries.
In making the investigation, how
ever, Officer Casteel learned that the
driver of the Ford, VIM. Herring, a
resident of Maryland, was using a
Pennsylvania license tag, which is I'M
lawful in this State, and Herring was
arrested. Justice West imposed a fine
of $50 and costs, which was paid by
Herring.

ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY Is
ASSURED this SECTION
President of Gas Company Out
lines Plans For Artificial Gas
Supply Thru Present Lines

The following article from yester-
days issue of the Cumberland News
will be read with interest by many of
the Oakland people who have been
fearing gas shortage in time to
come:
An adequate supply of gas for do
mestic and industrial purposes was
assured Cumberland and vicinity yes
terday by Walter Milestone, of Phil
adelphia, president of the Southern
Gas and Power Company. Whet-
stone told the Mayor and City Coun-
Gil that his company has an agree
ment with the West Virginia and Ma
ryland Gas Company, which now sup
plies Cumberland and Allegany coun-
ty as well as Garrett county with gas,
to purchase all it's plants and facili-
ties. As soon as the properties have
been transferred, Milestone declar-
ed, the Southern Gas and Power Co.
vii, construct an artificial gas plant
to augment the present supply Of nat
ural gas, which is rapidly diminish
ing.
It was stated that the Southern
Gas and Power Company now owns
and operates five artificial gas plants
in West Virginia, Virginia, North
Carolina and Georgia. Milestone
said that mixing artificial gas with
natural gas gave greater strength
to the product distributed to the con-
sumer and that as the natural gas
supply diminished his company would
increase the number of its gas manu-
featuring plants along the 1876 mile
line between Cumberland and Weston,
West Va.
Subsequent to the discussion Pres
ident Milestone made application for
a forty-three year franchise to fur
nish gas-natural and artifcial-to
the city of Cumberland. The present
franchise, which was granted to the
Maryland and West Virginia Gas Co.
has but seven years to run.
1t was explained that the long term
franchise was requested because the
project cannot be financed unless
franchises all along the line are ex-
tended beyond the maturity date of
bonds which are to be issued, and
which are necessary for the consum-
nation of the agreement.

kind disposition won for him friends
in all with whom he came in contact.
He was never without a word of
praise and encouragement to the de-
serving and his reproof was mild and
inotfensive. The life of this
goodly man was such that it should
commend itself as an example to all
others. Honest in his dealings, in

work of God. The high esteem in
which the deceased was held was ap-

conducted by the Rev. c. Fraker, of

ZIHLMAN HAS SUPPORT OF
ALEXANDER ARMSTRONG
StigmatiZes Statement To The
Contrary in HagerstOwn
Mail AS a Fabrication

Former Attorney General AIexan-
der Armstrong yesterday repudiated
what he termed a despicable article
which appeared in the Hagerstown
Mail, in reference to his friends and
followers in Washington county.
Mr.. Armstrong, who was the Re-
publican candidate for Governor in
1923, states that the entire story
which alleged that his friends were
luke warm to the Republican ticket
and to the candidacy of Congressman
Zihlman, is fabrication and that all
elements of the party in Washington
county are solidly behind the Sixth
District Representative, and that he
personally has done everything in his
power to advance his candidacy.
His letter to Congressman Zihlman
follows:
