Mrs. Richardson had spent the last
two winters with Mrs. Harry White,
in Oakland, and came to the Park last
Friday for the season! She was i'll
when she opened her house and it is
presumed that the change from a
steam-heated residence to her cottage
here, which had been unoccupied dur

we're and that She contracted pneu-
monia, which caused her death. She
was aged 70 years.

More P0sies
There are, Of course, good reasons
why the Boss Editor should be favored
in many matters, but really it is be-
You'd our ken that he should be fav-
ored by blooming outdoor plants at
this season of the year. Nevertheless
the fact is that many jonquils are in
the flower spaces of his residence on
Second street. On Monday he picked
a beautiful speeiment which now oc-
cupies a prominent place in his sane
tum. But then the Boss Editors wife
might have had something to do with
the sprightliness of the homegrown
flowers. The fact that flowers are
blooming in Garrett county may be a
surprise to Mayor Clayton.
Local Poultry Plant Inspected
Mr.. w. H. Rice, poultry inspector of
the University of Maryland Extension
Service, accompanied by County
Agent Carter, paid a visit to the poul-
try plant of Britten Martin here in
the Park recently and put his okey on
the flock and the plant.

the records in the County Commission
ers office show that the Mountain
Lake Park Association has been re-
lieved of the payment of taxes here
after on a number Of vacant lots in
Park as we'll as on Hamilton Hall, as
sessed at $4,000 and on Thoburn Inn,
assessed at $4,000, claimed by the As
ISOLATION as being for church uses but
operated as hotels. The total assess
ment reduction amounts to 1892,
which taken from the former assess
ment of $52,272.0O, leaves the Asso-
cations assessible property at $751;

Community of between $50 and 500
in taxes each year.
