COUNCIL WILL CONSTRUCT
NEW SEWER LINE AT ONCE
Erection of Additional Reservoir
Also Discussed at Meeting

Work will begin Immediately on the
construction of a sewer line from
Third street to the Frank Browning
property, at the northeast edge of
town, it was announced after the regu-
lar monthly meeting of the Mayor and
Town Council, on Monday evening,
The sewer will be approximately 1000
feet in length. Labor will be furnished
by the Civil Works administration,
with the town council furnishing the
material.
The probable erection of a second
reservoir for the town was discussed
by members of the council. At
meeting last Wednesday night the
committee also discussed this project
and a report of the specifications and
costs of erection are to be reported by
December II. The work would be done
under the Civil Works administration.
A second reservoir for Oakland
would serve several purposes, accord
ing to council members. 1t could be
used in case of repair work on the
other one, without endangering the
fire control supply, and could also be
used to store water for the towns use,
in case of a severe drought such as
was experienced here several years
ago.
There was also some talk of the
swimming pool at the Wednesday
night meeting, but nothing further
was done in regard to the proposed
municipal building. A site for the
swimming pool suggested yesterday
was a place along Wilson Creek, near
the north edge of town, providing
other arrangements could be made of
sewage disposal, now emptying in the
creek.
The council meeting on Monday
night was the first in years, it was
said, that no person appeared before
the body to want something done o.
ask permission for building permit,
or similar request. Monthly bills
amounting to approximately $500,
were ordered paid.

PROHIBITION AT AN END:
PASS STATE LIQUOR BILL
Garrett County Is Only Dry
Area In Maryland-Utah Is Last
State To Ratify
10 STATES ARE NOW OPEN

Utah, late Tuesday, wrote an end to
National prohibition in a decree that
opened the doors of liquor shops in
nineteen states. Almost half dozen
other states are completing plans for
legalizing the sale under their own
laws. The remaindr of the nation
stays dry, for the present at least.
There was little ceremony at the
signing of the presidential proclama-
ton which officially declared prohibi-
ton at an end. Thirty-three states,
beginning with Michigan, had ratified
the twenty-frst amendment to the
Constitution previous to Tuesday.
Pennsylvania and Ohio ratified the
amendment early Tuesday and Utah
was the 36th state, signing at about
7:30 p. M, Eastern standard time.
Maryland Measures
In Maryland the Statewide liquor
control bill became a law at 1928 on
Tuesday night. Garrett county is the
only dry area in the State.
The regulations for the sale of beer,
wines and whiskey in the % counties
vary greatly. They range from pro-
visions in st. Mary's county, where
licenses for the general on and off sale
of whiskey and fortified wines, with
taverns permitted, may be obtained
for 500, with $25 charge for an on
and off sale beer license, to dry Gar
rett county where the sale of alcoholic
beverages is prohibited.

The flying conditions were consid-
cred so dangerous on Thanksgiving
Day that no plane had taken off from
the Cumberland hangar. The two
men were flying about 500 feet above
the Cumberland airport when wing
of their ship collapsed and was car
ried away, the wind at that moment
being both strong and extremely
gusty.
Eyewitnesses of the tragedy say
that when the ship attempted to de-
scend a wing broke away and the
plane from a height of at least 500
feet dropped down on the West Vir-
ginia side of the river, while the wing
fell on the Maryland side of the Poto-
mac. Striking the earth with ire
mendous force the motor was buried
in the ground and the body of the
plane reduced to broken bits of wreck
age. Miller was thrown out of the
cockpit, while Dodge was crushed and
his body held beneath the dismantled
motor. The men wore heavy flying
suits and We're otherwise protected
from the cold.
Immediately following the crash,
Cumberland police were notified and
the city's rescue truck went to the
scene where the bodies of the flyers
were placed in blankets and taken to
the Stein funeral home.
Dodge was identified by an Oakland
High school ring which he wore.
The local young man is survived by
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James S.
Dodge and by two brothers and three
sisters: Earl D. Dodge, of Western
port; Charles Dodge, a mechanic at
Boiling field; Mrs. Elmer Hostetler,
Johnstown, Pa; Miss Dorothy Dodge,
of Cumberland, and Miss Virginia
Dodge, of Pittsburgh, Pa.
Funeral services were conducted on
Monday afternoon, December a, at
Arlington, Va, the National Soldiers
cemetery, where the remains were in
tered with full military honors. A
short service for the dead was also
held at the Dodge home Sunday morn
ing at $3.50 o'clock, Rev. C. W. Fraker
officiating.
The remains of young Miller were
sent to his home at Martinsburg and
interment was made in the cemetery
at Shepherdstown, w. Va, on Mon
day afternoon.
Dodge was graduated from Oakland
High school, class of 1928, and was
president of his class. Following his
graduation from the local school, he
spent year at Johns Hopkins Uni
versity and then joined the Army Air
service. During his high school career
here he was very popular with his
associates and was a leader in the
school activities, taking parts in dra-
MATES, literary and defamation con-
tests, soccer, football, glee club, ETC.,
and was business manager of "The
Oak" high school year book of 1928,
and manager of the basketball team.

But Indiana, where the dry law
once was so rigid that police could

extreme interest. Other doubtful
states, will be Influenced by the
