hand today.
As regards the draft of ordinance to
regulate and control the manufacture,
sale and expectation of. and TO provide
for the taxation of alcoholic beverages
in the municipality of St. Thomas and st,
John, and for other purposes, now be-
fore our council have 10 inform you,
that the said draft passed the first dis.
cussion, at the extraordinary meeting
held the 18th instant.
Prior to this meeting a caucus had
been held, and the members took excep-
ton to the words exclusive monopoly of
the Government, replacing same by the
words control by the Government"
Before tie first discussion actually
took place in the Council, an amend
ed draft of the ordinance was
submitted to Ghe members Of the
Governor, phrasing the passage
m entioned rs follows: under the exclg-
sive control of the Governor of the Vir-
gin Islands of the United States subject
to regulations issued by the Governor
and approved by the Municipal Commit
tee.'
After the first discu ssion, the draft
was sent to a committee, whose report.
presented in the form of new draft,
was adopted today, and the second dis
cussion closed, after a few minor
changes. A copy of the draft with the
changes is enclosed The Committee Re-
port places che matter under Board of
Control with the Governor as Chair
man.
1t seems evident that the Governor
will favor the passage of the draft as
amended by the committee. The third
discussion will be held Tuesday. the 3rd
April |, 1884. at 200 P. NJ. and there is
no reason to doubt that the draft will be
passed unanimously as the need of con-
troll is admitted by all the members.
As regards your request that the Colo
NAL Council for ST. Thomas and ST. john
meet your Council to take joint action ON
the proposed Ordinance. | regret very
much to have to state that the members
or this Council do not consider it of any
use to hold joint discussion at this late
date, seeing tnat it is no longer In our
power to make amendments to the drafts
Nevertheless, should it still be yeur de-
sire. members Of this council will be
pleased TO meet members of your cou neil
in ST. Thomas, at ary date you may sug-
gest.
As you are aware. such discussions can
only be informal joint session caucus
as it were. |, at least, canHot find In the
Colonial Law any authorization for meet
ings Of the nat ure suggested byyou.

Montgomery County Threatened With
Gangdom As Marksmen Get In Fiqhf
Wild Dog Pack Over-runs River Road Section-Premier
Rifle Shots Out To Break Up Mongrel Group
Calf Killed And Horse Attacked

Montgomery County has never at
tempted to vie with Chicago in it's eff
fort to take the gangster champion
ship of America. But the county
does have it's problem. The latest is
the real threat put forth by the wild
dog pack which has assumed gigantic
proportions in the River road section.
Compared with the Snallygaster, the
attack of the reverted police dog and
the mongrel hound awakens the resi-
dents of the county far more than
any Socialist uprise in Vienna.
The Snallygaster has been defeated
and driven to South American wilds.
The wild dog pack remains and daily
adds to its numbers as Nazi dachs-
hunds and Fascist terriers come into
camp filled with stories of the gov
ernment's attempt to run all Tories
out of the United States.

David J. Lewis Would
Make MOnOcacy Field
A National Park

A bill to commemorate the battle
of Monocacy by making the battle
field, located in Frederick county not
far from the Montgomery line, ma
tional military park was introduced
today in the House of Representa-
tives by Congressman David j.
Lewis.
The bill authorities the Secretary
of Interior to acquire the necessary
lands by lease, purchase, and dona-
ton. Under the bill, the affairs of the
military park will be in charge of a
superintendent who will be appointed
by the Secretary of Interior.
To enable the Secretary of Interior
to begin to carry out the provisions
of the bill, $4,000 is authorized to be
allotted by the Federal Administra-
tor of Public Works out of any money
appropriated for use under his direc-
ton.

Recently the pack killed a calf be-
longing to Joe Bradley and tried to
down horse, the property of EN-
NETT Dove. Dick Disney, erstwhile
employee of the Rockville postoffice and
warm admirer of Jim Farley, has
brought out his old army rifle and
sworn war against the Nomadic can
ines. Yesterday he killed one and
wounded another. 1t seems that the
pack is comprised mostly of police
dogs and hounds. Occasionally there
is to be found terrier and German
shepherd. Someone saw what resem-
bled a dachhund few days ago.
In addition to the River road gang,
there has been pack in the Sunshine
Brookeville community for two years.
Farmers say they cannot get shot
at the dogs.

On November %, 1888, the Bureau
of Internal Revenue issued release
in which it was stated that the pro-
Queer who slaughters his own hogs
and sells or otherwise disposes of any
part of the products is subject to the
processing tax on the portion sold.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Helvering now calls attention to the
fact that that ruling has been chang
ed. Under regulations just issued hs
the Secretary of Agriculture, approx.
ed by the President, the producer Of
hogs may sell or exchange during any
marketing year not to exceed BOO
pounds of products derived from hogs
slaughtered by him without payment
of any processing tax. The producer
in this instance means the owner Of
the hog at the time of narrowing. Il
the producer processes hogs and sells
or exchanges during any marketing
year products derived therefrom ii

Rockville Meets
Real Quint When
1t Plays ShOll's
Local Male Team Has Won 16
Out OF 20; Girls Aggregation
Taken Seriously

Although for the most part Rock
vile has stacked up against fair OPP
position in basketball this year, the
Independents have won 16 out of 20
games. The girls aggregation, to be
taken far more seriously, has won 13
out of Is settos and have an excel
lent chance to go without further de-
feat.
The male quint meets Scholl's Sat
urday night and this contest should. be
thrown off the books as the Washing
ton tossers have won over rs straight
games and are far too experienced
and versatile for any Montgomery
County opposition. The girls team
plays the Jewish Community Center
sextette the same night.
The Rockville boys are entered in
the District A. A. U. Basketball
Tournament which is sponsored by
the Post and held at Tech in Wash

agership of John Mcdonald and such
players as: Farmer, Becker, Mark
land, Lanier, Pitzer, Birthright, Stein.
berg and a number of other coming
basketball players Rockville expects
to reach the finals this year.
The Girls are also entered in the
Post Tournament in the Senior Girls
Class, with Bill Scharf as manager

Montgomery Gets Five
Schools In Advanced
Rating; Leads State

Out of twenty Maryland county
schools given accredited rating by
the Commission on Secondary
Schools of the Middle States Asso-
citation Montgomery leads the list
with five institutions so honored.
They are Rockville, Sherwood,
Gaithersburg, Betheso. hevy
Chase and Takoma Silv.. Spring
high schools.
According to DR.. E. d. Grizzell,
chairman of the commission and
professor of secondary education at
the University of Pennsylvania,
any secondary school within the
commissions territory may apply
for a place on the accredited list,
but failure to be included on the
list does not necessarily imply in
efficiency on the part of school.
"In acting upon applications
from secondary schools seeking
places on the accredited list the
commission assumes no responsible
ity beyond that of judging the abil-
ity of a secondary school to pre-
pare its students for college work.
Approval by the commission there
fore means merely approval for ac-
crediting to college" DR.. Grizzell
stated.

Officer Watkins Is
Real Sleuth AS His
Nose Locates $1,000

Officer Paul Watkins, of the
Montgomery County police, thought
the story sounded funny and he
proceeded to investigate. So form
er State Senator David Bale, Of
Carroll County, is better off by
$1,000 in stocks and negotiable
bonds. 1t happened like this:
Herbert Miles, of Damascus, saw
some pretty papers lying in ditch.
An employee of the State Roads
Commission, he was concerned with
digging-but not buried treasure.
Watkins heard that Miles has seen
the embossed certificates and had
thrown them aside. He got curl
Gus. He dug meath the snow and
dirt and uncovered a young for
tune in these days and times.
Senator Bale was holding the
notes and certificates in trust for
the estate Of David Engle, Jr.,
when they were stolen.
