"This seems to be the time for air
ing ones complaints and suggestions
about Washington traffic. I have two
examples to bring to the attention Of
your Safety Council. They both in
volve busses.
THE first is that busses stop after
crossing intersections. 1t is very diff
cult to see the traffic lights If you are
following busses, due to their helght
and size. Neither can one see tralnc
coming from the right at intersections
If there are no lights. On Connect-
cut avenue. where the busses follow
one behind the other at rush hours.
1t is next to impossible to see the
traffic lights as the smaller cars ap-
proach them.
also the bus that stands at Van
Ness street and Connecticut avenue
should not need to pull out into the
avenue before starting up Van Ness.
Can't they obtain little more space
from the Bureau of Standards and
make their turn on that lot? have
seen so many near-accidents there.
Cars are forced t. run over the curb
as the bus suddenly turns up Van
Ness street.

STATE Is GRANTED FUNDS
FOR RELIEF FOR 3 DAYS
Federal Administrator Gives
State Until Monday To Raise
Revenue; Legislators Argue
Observation-Disclosures

Open revolt against the Federal Re-
lief Administration broke in the Mary
land Senate early yesterday as the
Democratic floor leader of that body,
Senator Coad, charged that the Fed
eral attitude was "insolent, arrogant
and high-handed" and that the Gov
eminent was attempting to "whip"
the Legislature into line with threats"
AS the House of Delegates at An
napolis locked horns in bitter debate
over the two per cent sales tax to raise
relief revenue, the Senate Finance
Committee reported favorably on the
two tax plans mentioned most fire.
quently as possibilities for raising that
revenue.
The Senate Finance group amended
the Sasscer- Prescott utilities tax bill,
cutting the tax on straight gross sales
of utilities to five per cent and on in
dustrial power to one per cent. 1t
also exempted sales by utilities to
municipalities and hospitals.
Those amendments cut the estimat-
ed yearly yield from $3,5OOOO0 to ST.
100000.
The sales tax bill reported favora-
bly, by the Senate Finance Committee
is the same over which the House did
battle
Crisis Averted

the State relief until Saturday.
Aubrey Williams, executive assist
ant to Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Re-

mission to continue the relief program

producing legislation.
Mr.. Hopkins telegraphed Governor
Nice stating that he had reviewed the
Maryland relief situation with United
States Senators Willard E. Tydings
and George L. Radcliffe. He said the
FERA would accept a state program
calling for the appropriation of $5,-
100000, $1,5o0,000 of which would be
for old age pensions.
Governor Nice forwarded copies of
Hopkins telegram to the House and
Senate and sent the following tele-
gram to the Federal Relief Admins
TRAITOR:
Thanks for your telegram. AS Gov
ernor of Maryland pledge the raising
of $5,0O0,000 for relief, the $5,OO0,0O0
to include $1,50O,000 for old age pen

to the Maryland General Assembly
with request that it Immediately mott
fly you of its acceptance of this plan
in order that you may see your way
clear to continue aid to Maryland OPP

GRAND JURY ADJOURNS
AFTER TWO-DAY SESSION
Fourteen Witnesses Brought Be-
fore BOdy-Twenty-Eight In
dictments Are Returned
TO CALL DOCKET MONDAY

Inc grand jurors Tor the pres
ent term of the Circuit Court,
concluding their work on Tues
day evening, had before them
fourteen witnesses and found
twenty-eight indictments. Be-
fore concluding their work they
made numerous suggestions and
recommendations for repairs to the
Court House and Jail.
The report of the Grand Jury as
made to the Court is given below in
full:
/ To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Garrett County,
Maryland
The Grand Jury for the March Term
of 1885 hereby submits it's report, as
follows:
We have had before us and have ex-
amined fourteen witnesses and have
found twenty-eight indictments.
Following the instructions deliver
ed to us the charge of His Honor
Judge Sloan, we have given careful
consideration to the matters brought
to our attention and have returned
indictments where we belive the evil
dence warranted such action.
We learn with much regret that His
Honor Judge Albert A. Doub will re-
tire from the bench next month. The
able manner in which he performed
his duties as a member of this Judi
cial Circuit is recognized by the citi-
zens of this county and we feel that
his retirement will be a distinct loss
to the judiciary of the State.
We have made an inspection of the
Jail and find it to be in need of the fol-
lowing repairs: New toilets are need
ed and new spouting, and the roof of
the Fourth street side is in need of
repairs. The Sheriff's rooms need pa
pe.i0g. We also recommend that a
garage be put in the basement of the
Jail and thus eliminate payment of
garage rent.
We would also recommend the fol-
lowing repairs to the Court House:
Plaster in several rooms has fallen
away and should be replaced; also the
walls and ceilings of the several rooms
should be reprinted; all exposed
woodwork of the Court House should
be reprinted; all windows glazed; the
steps of the main approach to the
Court House need repairing.
We also recommend that a center
hand railing from the street to the
main entrance, also hand railing
from the Alder street entrance. In
the grand jury room more coat hang
ers should be placed to supply the
needs. A new lock is needed on the
door of the Board of Education office
Also some chairs in the grand jury
room need repairs.
We have examined the Court House
offices and find them to be in good con-
dition and well taken care of by the
officers in charge. The records in the
several offices are in good condition
and neatly kept, and all information
asked for was readily available and
cheerfully given.
We believe the officers of the county
are performing their duty in the en-
forcement of the law.
We desire to thank the States At
torney for the cooperation and as
sistance given US during our deliber-
atoms.
We extend our thanks to His Honor
Judge Sloan for the assistance he has
given us in performing our duties as
grand jurors.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted. GEORGE WARWICK,
