SITE
OPTIONS EXPIRING
Unlikely That State Will Buy
Property in Frederick
County.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE. october 21--Options
which the State Board of Welfare has
for the purchase of $50 acres in Fred
erick County as the site of the new
penitentiary will expire November !.
The options might be extended, it is
said. but If the board proves unable to
decide on the purchase within the origi-
nal time limit it is believed the Fred
erick County tract will not be bought
and that some other site will be selected
There seems no doubt that, left to its
own inclinations, the welfare board
would not hesitate long about buying
this property. The trouble is that there
has been some opposition on the part
Of residents of Frederick County.
This opposition was voiced during a
recent visit that members of the well
fare board made to Frederick to look
over the possible penitentiary site. 1t
is an opposition which is recognized by
the welfare board, its chairman. Col.
Stuart S. Janney, having explained that
the board would be extremely reluctant
to locate the penitentiary in any COM
munity which was opposed to it.
The board will meet Thursday, at
which time a definite conclusion will
be reached regarding the proposed site.
