Improvement of Firm Rock
Road Nears Completion

Work of improving approximately
two and a half miles of the Western
port Firm Rock road in Garrett coun-
ty is nearing completion. The rock
base has all been laid and will short
ly be rolled and surfaced with dirt.
Last year about a mile of road was
similarly treated. The improvement
last year began. at point near Firm
Rock where a run crosses the road
and continued to the vicinity of the
George L. Michael farm, whence
work was resumed this summer and
will be completed to the watering
trough. An intervening stretch of
road about three-fourths of mile
long to the Garrett county line re-
mains to be improved. The Allegany
county stretch of road over Western
port hill is in fair condition, mine
"bone" having been placed upon it.
By advancing about $4,000 without
interest to the Garrett county COM
missioners, two residents of the Firm
Rock neighborhood made possible the
improvement of the road this year.
The road work furnished needed en-
ployment to farmers of the vicinity
and also gave the Firm Rock COM
munity a much improved outlet.

Roadside Trimming of Trees in
Hands of Forestry Department

Maybe you have been out enjoying
the autumn foliage and while driving
along have noticed pole line crew
trimming trees under their wires
along the road. If you had stopped
you would have found that they were
trimming these trees under the super
vision of one of the Forest Wardens
of the Maryland State Department OF
Forestry.
The Roadside Tree Law, enacted by
the Legislature of 1914, placed upon
the Department of Forestry the res
possibility for the care and protection
Of trees along roadways throughout
the State and along the streets of in
corporated towns. This law recog-
nizes the public interest in shade
trees along the highways and throws
around them every safeguard for
their protection against pole line COM
panies and private individuals. This
law gives the Department of Forestry
regulatory power over the trees along
the highways to prevent cutting,
trimming or removing except by per-
nit.
All work of the pole line companies
is supervised by special wardens who
are commissioned officers of the State
and are there to protect the trees for
the benefit of the public at large and
are not employed by the pole line
companies.
Individuals wishing to do trimming
of roadside trees or street trees in
towns should get in touch with their
local warden or write to the State De-
parment of Forestry, Baltimore, for
permits. Violators of this law are
liable to fine of not more than $50
for each offense.
During the past year wardens
supervised the trimming of approx
mately 10000 trees:

Debt.Reduction

Congress in both branches approved by a big majority the years moratorium on inter- governmental debts, because there was noth- ing else to do. Neither House nor Senate tried to look very far into the future. The public itself is not doing that. People and govern. ments are trying to get through somehow, week by week and month by month, hoping that something will turn up to improve the situation.
 The years moratorium granted expires at the end of next June Fhtre will be new payments due July l. It is all right to hope that the money will be on hand then to pay them, but no well informed person expects it. Congress may find itself granting another moratorium before it adjourns. After that who knows?
 Both House and Senate saw fit to append to this moratorium approval resolution declaring Congress to be flatly opposed to any further reduction or any cancellation Of foreign governmental debts to the United States. Public opinion is with Congress on that; or at least, Congress thinks so And there is a national election coming. In the circumstances it is d natural thing for Con gress to do.
 All of us believe. on general principles that debts should be paid. Most of us are occupied right now. in trying to persuade other people to pay what they owe uS That would help us pay our own debts But few of us are having much luck with it. We'll all cross that debt-redustion bridge when we come to it.

New Year Hopes

There are many New Year days In a sense. every day begins new year. A birth day anniversary marks a years beginning for the individual. Different races have their special new year dates and observanees. But the New Year for most of us is the one on our calendar. It is around January l that families and businesses and individuals build their budgets and plan to strike out along new lines of activity, new lines of spiritual effort, new thinking new hope.
 There are SO many things we desire of this particular New Year. In spite of gloomy outlook. the world hopes for some small gain in disarmament. looking toward peace; in international fair dealing. looking toward both peace and prosperity: in economic wisdom. looking toward greater happiness and efficiency in human life.
 All the train of our present material ills are man made troubles Therefore, their correction lies within human power. This year we may make new progress in curing them. At least that is the hope we share in varying degrees and with varying interpre- tations on this New Years day,

Too Late To Reform?

Professor Fred R. Farehild. noted eeono- mist at Yale University, uttered some pertl- nent remarks this week up at Hartford where he was summoned by Mayor Rankin 10 discuss current tax problems with several other authorities. The intention IS, of course to rescue Hartford from the meshes in which it. together with many another large city, finds itself today due to decreased tax returns and increased government oper- aton. Thrift seemed to be the trend of Pro lessor Farehild's remarks. just as thrift IS slowly being preached to our federal legisla- tors down in Washington.
 We think that Commissioner Blodgett struck the right note during the course of the discussion in Hartford. Both his re- marks and those of the Yale economist were much in unison. However Commissioner Blodgett went so far as to say that If you want to reduce the tax rate in Hartford the first thing you must do IS to reduce your bonds and their overhead and interest charges It may be reasonable to say so but 1 urge you to abandon any capital out lays. These may be intended to give em- ployment in a situation that may last five or SIX WeehS UT IiNt UT DIX HOHtbo' Du' the bond issues last much much longer than that. To me such methods seem an attempt 10 pull ourselves out of the present economic situation by our boot straps. an impossible feat.
 We are more concerned with the comms- sioner's remarks about capital outlays' than a public building program to relieve unemployment. What would be the effect upon this nation today if every municipality or town in il declared moratorium on such. Complete abandonment of public m- provements such as are practically eompuls- sory. might result in more distress than ever io our way of thinking Probably Mr blodgstt does not contemplate complete de- psrtufs. but q slight decrease. We think noa cities have adopted some sort of w. ifsnehment policy bu, unfortunately they

were not all prepared for long period of tight money.
 The burden of taxation in this nation is growing heavier instead of lighter but 1t must be remembered sthat we are getting more for the tax dollar than formerly. We don't advocate higher taxes but more equit- able ones. We think that extravaganee should be outlawed in every community where public funds are administered. Now is the time for our officials to prove that they are capable of administering our affairs. But only with the greatest cooperation can everybody win through to calm waters. We will have to pay our bills In doing so we can check off many items that won't be nec- essary for future existence.
 We think that Professor Fairehild. Com- missioner Blodgett, and others SO familiar with government operation should be brought before the recently formed Con- neeticut Municipal League so that they could preach thrift to the organization. It seeks means of increasing tax revenue or finding new sources of taxation. We have pointed out from the very beginning that perhaps there should be some research into the probability of lowering the cost of gov- ernment which of itself would produce low CT taxes. With l932 ahead of us we think it good occasion to detour along this thrift road. There are peace and happiness at the end of it.
