MT. LAKE PARK
The Receivership

a Maryland cOFpOFdJlOH, Ut LOT LIE
town of Mountain Lake Park, its
Mayor and Council.
To clear up some misapprehensiOn,
the situation as we understand it, is
that the Community of Mountain
Lake Park under the Annual Com
mittee, ceased to exist, SO far as mu
nicipal affairs were concerned, when
the General Assembly of Maryland
erected the town of Mountain Lake
Park and provided it with the powers
of government through its Mayor and
Town Council.
When the books of the treasurer of
the annual committee were audited,
it was found that the community
owed some debts and had certain
amount of taxes uncollected. The
question of the power and authority
of the annual committee to enforce
the collection of these taxes having
been raised, a suit was instituted in
the Circuit Court of this county, re-
sulting in the appointment of the re-
ceiver, whose principal duty is to col
Iect these past due taxes and apply
the proceeds to the liquidation of the
debts of the community, contracted
prior to the new charter. That is the
situation, briefly, as we understand it.
School of Missions
We cannot let the opportunity pass
to congratulate the officers and work
ers on the success of the School of
Missions held at the Park this season.
In the face of what looked like noun
taneous difficulties, these tireless
workers put their shoulders to the
wheel, and depending almost solely on
volunteer contributions to an almost
depleted treasury, staged one of the
most successful meetings ever held at
the Park. Arthur Brisbane is fond of
saying that "what can be envisiOned,
can be done" 1t was big job well
done.
Mail Messenger Bids
The postmaster suggests that we
note in this column that sealed bids
for carrying the U. S. Mails between
the Mt. Lake Park postoffice and the
B. & 0. depot will be received by the
postmaster up to II O'Clock noon OF
August Z. The notice of bids require
that all proposals must be inclosed in
an envelope, sealed, marked "Propos-
ais for Mail Messenger Service" with
the name of the bidder, who must not
be under 16 years of age, on the out
side. Blanks may be had at the Mt.
Lake Park postoffice.
MIRA
What ever differences of opinion
may exist, there seems to be a most
general disposition to join whole
heartedly in the program proposed by
the President and his advisers for in
creasing employment, increasing the
buying power and generally lifting
the Nation out of the dumps. This is
as it should be. AS a result N R A
emblems are generally displayed in
all places of business and customers
and buyers are signing the pledges of
cooperation.
Prof. James Cox and family are
spending some time in the Park. Prof.
Cox is superintendent of the public
schools in Morgantown.
