Town To SCAN
WATERL|NES

Residents of Upper Marlboro.
Md, will hold a public meeting
at the Prince Georges County
Courthouse next Tuesday evening
to discuss and vote on whether
they favor a water system for the
town, according to T. Van Clag-
EFT, town commissioner.
Plans for the meeting are to be
made at a joint conference to-
night between a committee from
the volunteer fire department,
hackers of the project, and the
board of three town commits
sioners.
Engineers from the Maryland
State Board of Health and the
State Public Works Administra-
ton, who surveyed the project
Monday, will be asked to attend
and answer technical questions
about it, Van Clagett said.
The meeting, to be led by a
chairman selected by the resi-
dents, will determine whether the
town wishes to take advantage OF
loan terms under the public works
campaign and float a bond issue
to finance the project. A third
of the total cost can be obtained
as a gift from the Federal Gov
eminent.

Adjustment Bureau Puts Gag
On Workers; Number Of
Discharges Secret

Contrary to custom prevailing
in governmental units. officials OF
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad.
miniStration today refused to
make public the number of tenn
porary workers in their employ.
Asked how many clerks are now
on the rolls, and the number fur.
Laughed or fired during the last
80 days, the officials declined to
make any statements, although
the information has been given by
them many times in the past.
The matter first was brought
to the attention of the Farm Ad"
ministration's press section,
through which, under a gag
rule" all information intended
for newspapers must be, relayed.
When the administrations press
representative attempted to gain
the required answer from a higher
up, he was told, he said, that the
material was available, but would
not be made public.
Although it was explained to the
farm officials that Federal EN-.
ployment records are public pro-
perty, since it is taxpayers money
that supports the workers, refusal
to release the figures was main
tanned.

are unable to understand what is
holding up in Washington the
formulation of the Government
contract for construction of a
100000 municipal hydro cleo
trio plant for that city, funds for
which already have been made
available through a loan and
grant from the Federal emer-
gency Administration of Public

The loan and grant for the
project were approved on october

been a series of delays in draw
ing up the contract.
The project, which is to be at
The Pinnacles, in Patrick county,
is the largest undertaking to be
approved in Washington so far

proved by Danville, will give

NEXT TIME

Approximately 1900 nonvoting
residents OF Montgomery county
have signed declarations of inten-
lions to become voters at the next
general election in Maryland, it
was disclosed by F. Byrne Austin,
clerk of the board of election
supervisors, yesterday.
Maryland law requires that a
citizen not holding the voting
franchise must declare himself as
desiring to vote at least one year
prior to the next general election
in which he wishes to take part.
AS the next general election will
be held November 6, 1884, Satur-
day was the last day such declara-
lions could be made.
At present there are 1851
registered Democrats and 1857
Republicans composing the coun-
tvs 25,998 voters, so that the new
registrations will make no differ
ence so far as the normally Demo
cratic complexion of the county is
concerned.
