DAWSON, CANDIDATE FOR
CONGRESS, in OAKLAND
Spent Yesterday Afternoon In
Becoming Acquainted With
Voters of Garrett

Mr.. Thomas L. Dawson, of Rock
vile, Montgomery county, in COM
pany with several friends from his
own county and Allegany county, was
in Oakland and at other points in
Garrett county yesterday, his visit
being for the purpose of becoming ac-
quainted with the voters and obtain at
first hand political conditions as they
exist with respect to his candidacy
for Congressional honors at the pri-
mary election to be held on Monday,
May 5th.
Accompanying Mr.. Dawson, were
Mr.. Brainard H. Warner, of Chevy
Chase; Mr.. Spencer T. Mullican, of
Rockville, and Mr.. Fred. Dreyer, of
Cumberland, the latter leading the
fight against Fred. N. Zihlman for
denomination in Allegany county.
After making the rounds Of many
places of business in Oakland where
Republicans are to be found, the
party returned to Cumberland later in
the day, stopping en- route at Acct
dent and Grantsville in this county,
and at Frostburg and other Pike
towns in Allegany county, expecting
to spend today in Cumberland to fur
Their Mr.. Dawson's candidacy in the
home town of the present Congress-
man, Mr.. Zihlman.
Mr.. Dawson called at The Republic
can Office while in town, as also did
Mr.. Warner, the latter being no stran-
ger, however, for he campaigned all
over the Garrett hills upon more than
one occasion.
Mr.. Dowson is a distinguished look
ing man of perhaps thirty-five; he is
earnest and impressive of speech. He
was elected States Attorney of Mont
gomery county four years ago and it
is said that he is the only Republican
ever elected to that office.
During the World War Mr.. Daw-
son served as Second Lieutenant, CEN
trail officers training school, at Camp
Lee, Va.

COUNTY TAX RATE THE
SAME AS LAST YEAR
Would Have Been Lower Had 1t
Not Been For Loss Sustained
Following Flood in March

Had the damage not been so great
to roads and bridges and other public
property following the flood which
visited all sections of Garrett county
on the morning of March 10Th, the
tax payers of the county would not
be called upon this year to pay as
heavy tax bills as for number of
years past, but as it is the rate re-
mains the same as that for 1923, SLIT
on the 500.
Prospects were rosy for a reduction
Of at least ten cents in the rate until
the flood came, which changed mat
tiers and threw the calculations of the
Board of County Commissioners into
the discard.
The boards plan was to levy sum
less for general road repair than in
former years, cutting this appropria-
ton considerably, and had also been
impressed with the fact that $4,000
would be sufficient to maintain the
bridge account, instead, however, all
OF $4,000, the amount levied, will be
required for this item to repair and
replace bridges either damaged or
washed away by the flood.
The special road account of $4,000
would have been lowered to $4,000,
thus saving $4,000 in the total re-
CURED for the maintenance of the
highways in various parts of the
county.
Another item of large proportions
IS the contingent fund, which was also
planned to be cut down to the mini
mum, but conditions are such that the
Commissioners thought it unwise to
levy less amount for contingencies
that may arise.
The public school fund. totalling
1923 234.15, is the largest amount
ever levied in any one year for the
maintenance of the schools. A sum
of $4,000 is included in the levy for
the purpose of erecting new school
building where they are required,
while the balance of this fund will go
into the general fund for the mainte-
nance of the schools.
Taking it all in all, the Commits
sioners have handled the many mat
ters, many of them unforeseen and sur
prising, in a manner commendable.
In addition to the work done at the
Office of the Commissioners that body
has interested the State Roads Com
mission in conditions surrounding
kitzmiller and they have received as
surances from the Commission that
that body will repair and maintain
roads and bridges in and about Kitz-
miller which were utterly destroyed,
at the expense of the State, thus re-
ieving the county tax payers of a
burden that will approximate the sum
Of perhaps S25, 1000.

The results showed that the candi-
