VI INTRODUCED WOULD
AUTHORIZE BOND ISSUE
Provides For the Borrowing By
County of $15O,OOO For Build
ing and Furnishing Schools
REFERENDUM is INCLUDED

A bill authorizing the County
Commissioners to borrow the
sum of $150,O00, issuing bonds
for the same, for the support OF
the schools of Garrett county in
the erection and equipping OF
school buildings and purchasing
and condemning real estate for
school sites, was introduced on
Tuesday in the House of Dele
gates by the Garrett county del
egation. The measure was re-

Committee.
The bill provides that before the
loan is negotiated and bonds are is
sued as an evidence of debt the ques-
ton shall be submitted to the vote Of
the legally qualified voters of the
county at the general election to be
held in November, 1882, for their APP
proval or disapproval.
According to a statement made by
school authorities they felt that the
best interests of the children and OF
the taxpayers and of all other inter-
ests involved would be furthered with
out submitting the question to vote
of the people, in view of the fact that
if small percentage of the voters
of the county so desire that percent
age could still bring the matter to a
vote through petition properly drawn
and submitted.
The measure introduced Tuesday
specifically states that the mony de-
rived from the issuance and sale OF
the bonds is to be used for the pur-
pose Of Erecting public school build
ings in the county of Garrett and fol-
the purpose of heating, furnishing and
equipping the same, and for the pur-
!. pose of purchasing or condemnine
...,coal estate for the erection of the
same, and for the purpose of repair
ing and heating public school build.

amount of $4,000 on July 1, 1884, and
annually thereafter until the entire
amount of $15O,000 is paid and dis.
charged.
Provision is made for the levying

To Pay Balance or SO Per Cent
PRESENT ANNUAL BUDGET

A total of $35O,651 for current ex-
penses, $4,000 for capital outlay,
and $500 for debt service, making q
grand total of $47O,151, was the
amount estimated as necessary to run
the public schools of Garrett county
for the school year 1882 in the an
nual school budget presented to the
Board of County Commissioners yes
terday afternoon.
The amount requested from the
county commissioners was 1858, 726.

mated at $206,425, or SO percent Of
the total current expenses leaving on
ly al percent for the county to pay.

ing and helping teachers and atten"
dance officers were estimated at ap-
proximately two-thirds of the entire

salaries.
It is estimated that teachers in ele-
mentary schools will cost $4,000,
and teachers in high schools, 1858, 900.
Of this amount the State furnishes
$143,O13, while the county furnishes
the remainder of $81,987.
Items covering Office expenses,
printing, auditing, allowance for
Board members, and the balance Of
salaries of officials and employees,
text books, ETC., amounting to ap-
proximately $4,000, were requested
from the county in the budget.
The budget was submitted by the
County Board of Education to the
Board of County Commissioners as
provided by law and according to the
rules and regulations of the Mary
land State Board of Education. It is
necessary that the budget be in the
hands of the commissioners twenty
days before the usual date for levying

TOURIST SAYS CITY
LEADS IN PROGRESS
German Making Movie Films
of Capital Praises Work
of Construction.

While the immensity and scope Of
the building operations in the Capital
have left little impression on its resi-
dents. washington, viewed through the
eyes of a world traveller, has made
greater progress in the last five years
than any other city in the world.
In expressing this opinion, Dietrich
w. Dreyer, of Hanover, Germany, who
is touring the United States making
moving pictures to be shown in Ger
man-speaking educational institutions.
said 1.-The advance in the Capital of the
United States has been superb greater
than in any other city I have visited.
Visiting many countries at intervals
a few years apart" he said. enables me
to determine the progress that has been
made. 1 came here expecting to make
pictures OF your large buildings, but
decided instead to make pictures of
buildings in process of demolition as
we'll as the buildings completed. for so
rapidly is the construction work going
on here that the title of my films must
be progress Some of the pictures
made in Washington of buildings under
construction will be worked into special
reels to be shown before German en-
gineering societies. i have found so
much in Washington that I extended
my stay here one day longer than had
planned and this in spite OF the TACT
that I travel on close schedule.
Likes TOlger Library.
IT am particularly impressed with
the new Folger Shakespeare Library,
OF which 1 have made several pic
lures. 1t is undoubtedly the finest and
most artistic structure OF its kind have
seen. Its straight lines and the ex-
cellent material of which it is construct
ed speak for it. I am also greatly i'm
pressed with the new Arlington Bridge.
1t is of solid masonry and yet 1t does
not give the impression OF heaviness or
bulkinesS,
washington undoubtedly Is the
cleanest city in the world"
Mr.. Dreyer has been IN the business
of making educational moving picture
films for the past IL years and has
travelled in all countries. He has made
several journeys in North America, his
work on this continent, as he says, TAX
