by Miss Rhesa King, county health
nurse, and Miss Lola Belle Green, re-
turned from Baltimore Monday, to
which city they had gone with two
girls, Leona and Anna Bowers, and
With Alvin Friend, young man of
80 years. The Bowers girls were
committed to the state hospital at
Gainesville, where they will receive
attention for mental arrangements,
and young Friend was committed to

Boys.
Upon information received by
sState's Attorney Julius C. Renninger
concerning conditions at the Bowers
home, which is located on the Deer
Park road near the Pysel farm, the
two girls were taken into custody and
were found to be deficient in their
mental powers, hence their commit
ment to the state institution.
Alvin Friend, who is the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Alvin Friend, Sr., of
Elder Hill, was sentenced to serve
two years in the industrial training
school upon complaint made by his
parents that the boy was unruly.

1913 BILLS PASSED BY
THE 69TH CONGRESS
Total Of 24,417 introduced Dur
ing Sessions-Only about 200
of Those Passed Affect Nation

The record Of the sixty-ninth Con-
gross discloses that out of an ava
lanche of nearly $4,000 bills and reso-
lutions only 99S succeeded in over
coming the legislative barriers to fin
ally become laws.
In the number added to the statute
books are hundreds of a purely pri-
vate character and several hun 'red
more pertaining to local or sectional
needs, so that the number IF new
laws affecting the nation as a whole
is probably not in excess of two hun
dred.
Members of the House far outstrip-
ped their less numerous colleagues in
the Senate in the bill introducing
melee. During the two sessions of
the sixty-ninth, House members offer
ed over $4,000 bills and resolutions
while the number in the Senate was
G,417.
Of this number, President Coolidge
signed 523 during the first session
and ATS in the session which termi-
mated last week, afixing his signature
to 229 within the twenty-four hours
before the gavel fell.
During the two sessions also House
committees sent an even 100 special
messages to the Senate, including his
annual message, one explaining the
Nicaraguan situation, AMI another
outlining plans for another naval
arms conference. Heads of various
departments filed 1855 reports with
Congress.

Assets Increase Over Last Year
And Indebtedness Decreased.

The annual financial statement of
the corporation of the town for the
year ending February % will be
found on another page of The Re-
publican today.
Upon examination of the report
and comparing the same with the re-
port of last year it will be found that
the town has passed through COM
paratively successful year relative to
its financial condition.
1t will be found that Indebtedness
on the City Hall has been reduced
S1100 and indebtedness by orders on
the town has been reduced $500. The
report also shows that the fire depart
ment equipment has been enhanced in
value $50 per cent during the year,

ment was worth $4,000, while the
current report states that it is worth
S7,500.00
1t will be noticed also that num-
Der of the larger figures in the dis
bursemert column have been used for

CUMBERLAND SEEKS
COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
To Raze and Utilize w. Nj. Site
Would Issue 100000 Bonds
For Erection

A bill which would authorize the
mayor and city council to issue $780,
900 bonds for public general hos
pital in Cumberland was endorsed at
the council meeting Monday morning.
1t will replace the Western Maryland
Hospital, which will be gradually torn
down.
Seek Aid From State and County
Effort will be made before it is p,e-
sented to the State Legislature to get
financial help from the State and AL
legany county. If this can be done
the full amount would not be eXpend-
ed. Allegany county will be asked to
contribute 100000 to its erection. if
not, the city will build it.
The hospital is also to be a memoir
ial to the men who served in the arm
ed forces of the Nation in the wars,
and such a tablet will be erected in
the building.
The bill creates board of COVER
nors who will have a charge of its
erection and management. 1t will he
composed of Thomas B. Finan, Nor
ris Rosenbaum, Arthur J. Weber,
Tasker G. Lowndes, the Mayor Of
Cumberland and one other to be Sc
lected later.
Tear Old Hospital Down
Mayor Thomas w. Koon stated that
as soon as the bill was passed, the
present directors of the Western
Maryland Hospital would turn that
building over to the new hospital
board. After the contract for it's
erection would be given out, the old
center portion of the Western Mary
land Hospital would be tom down.
A unit Of the new building would
be erected on the site and on its COM
pletion the patients and staff would
move in. The remainder of the hos
pital, which includes portions erected
in later years, would be torn down
and the second hospital unit built.
The present hospital, erected nearly
forty years ago, is Anticipated and
unsuited for modern hospital needs.
The mayor said the site would cost
nothing, and that it is the proper To-
cation, according to the opinion CT the
local medical fraternity, being close
to the railroads and on the National
Highway. Tentative plans for such
a structure have been submitted by
architects who specialize in hospital
construction.
Many Garrett county citizens will
note with interest the proposed plan
of Cumberland as the Western Mary
land Hospital has been of valuable
service to this county as well as to
Allegany county.
