TO RECEIVE BIDS ON TWO
HIGHWAY PROJECTS HERE
SwantOn-AltamOnt and German
Loeb Lynn Roads to be Built

Sealed proposals for building one
and seven-tenths miles of concrete
road from German toward Loeb Lynn
Heights, will be received by the State
Roads Commission, Baltimore, until
IL M, March Is, according to an ad-
vertisement appearing today.
Also proposals will be received for
building two and forty-three hun
dredths miles of concrete road from
a point on the Kitzmiller road near
Altamont toward Swanton.
The distance between Loeb Lynn
and German is about eight miles, it is
estimated, and two miles of this road
leading east from Loeb Lynn were
completed in 1880. When the second
stretch is completed approximately
4.3 miles will remain to be built.
The distance from the Kitzmiller
road at Altamont to Swanton is ap-
proximately four and one-half miles,
none of which has been improved,
other than by the county.
Bids will be publicly opened and
read on March Is and it is expected
that work on both projects will begin
shortly after that date.

Entertainment Is Being Arrang.
ed By Relief Committee

The Oakland Relief Committee is
arranging to hold benefit card party
next Thursday evening, March 10, in
the Knights of Pythias all, Oakland,
at eight o'clock. The pu lie is invited
to attend. Various caro- games will
be played and prizes awarded. Indi-
vidual tickets are 80 cents. They are
being sold by residents of Oakland or
may be purchased at Gonder's drug
store.
1t is necessary for the committee to
have funds with which to purchase
staple supplies. The cash on hand at
present is inadequate and if this i'm
portant work is to continue additional
funds must be raised. 1t is hoped that
numbers of the citizens will purchase
one or more tickets regardless of
whether they plan to attend the card
party or not. It is everyone's oppor-
tunity ito aid in a good work.

TO DECIDE CHAMPIONS OF
HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL
Friendsville- Oakland Contest to
Be Staged at WesternpOrt

The High School basketball cham
pionship of the county will be decided
Saturday evening on the Bruce High
school court in Westernport, it was
decided at a conference between F. E.
Rathbun, county superintendent; w.
J. Glenn, principal of Friendsville
High school, and Foster D. Bittle,
principal of Oakland High school, on
Tuesday evening.
The place for holding the champi-
onship contest was agreed upon only
after much discussion on the subject.
Mr.. Glenn wanted the game played in
Frostburg, while Mr.. Bittle suggested
the Naylor Hall in Oakland, which has
not been in use for two years and
hence could be considered neutral
floor. This would give more people of
the county an opportunity of seeing
the game, it was commended.
Joe Erwin, of the Playground Ath-
letic League, will act as referee in
the contest, which will start at 500
o'clock. A number of people from
both Friendsville and Oakland are
planning to attend.

28,525 ACRES OF FOREST
LAND ARE FIRED IN 1881
A Total of 1,OS6 Fires Reported
by State Forestry Department

A total of 1,086 forest fires were
reported in Maryland during 1881, a
record from the Maryland State De-
partment of forestry indicates. This
is over two-thirds more fires than
were reported in 1928, in which year
634 fires constituted the greatest num-
Der to have been recorded previous to
1880. r"
Due to combinations of the drought
of 1880, fire conditions for 1881 were
unusual, the report stated. When
weather conditions are normal forest
fires seldom occur in Maryland during
January, February or the first ten
days of March. During this period in
1881, 172 fires occurred. The re-
mainder of the year had normal fire
conditions except for a severe ten-day
period about the middle of April.
There were 28,525 acres burned in
1881, and two fires over 1000 acres in
size. The estimated damage was
500, 314.96 and the cost of fire fight
ing was $19,909.28. In classifying the
fire according to causes, smoking"
leads with Alb fires or 40 percent.
Brush burning is next with 279, fol-
lowed by incendiary, causing 1877 fires.
Railroads caused 88 fires, m1scellan-
eous, 80; campers, 20; numbering, A;
lightning, 2; unknown, 3.
Garrett Has 1873 Fires
Garrett county had 1873 fires, cover
ing an acreage of 4,591A, with an
estimated damage of S9,785.30. The
expense of fighting these fires was
$2,953.S8.
The cause of the fires was divided
as follows: railroads, 10; campers,
A.; smoking, A; burning brush, ID; in-
cendiary, So; miscellaneous, 8; false
alarms, SO.
