Darwin Martin, City Clerk at Noun
tain Lake Park, Calls Attention
to Two Measurements, Uninten-
tionaIIy Made By The Republican
in Last Thursdays Issue, For
Which We Are Grateful To MIR.
Martin And Regret That The Err
roneOus Statements Were Made
To the Editor of The Republican.
Sir:-In reading your article in the
current issue of The Republican re-
garding the referendum election on
Chapter so, Acts of 1885, pertaining
to the Town of Mountain Lake Park,
find, if l have read it correctly, that it
contains two statements that are in
correct, both of which will probably be
misleading to the voters and for that
reason the writer would be pleased, if
space permits, that proper correction
be made in your next issue.
First, you state in the second para
graph of your article that "The new
law Chapter so, Acts of 1855, provid-
es it is adopted at the election to be
held next month will empower the
Mayor and Council to increase the tax
rate, no maximum sum being provided
in the law" t..|
This statement, if you will notice,
is in direct conflict with the provisions
of the Act, Section IA, which you have
published in this article, which pro-
vides "That the Mayor and Council
may from time to time cause an as
sessment to be made of all the prop
cray liable to that State and county
taxes within the corporate limits, and
levy tax thereon, not exceeding one
dollar on the hundred dollars in any
one year." etc.
Second, that you have further stated
in this article THAT. those entitled
to vote are property owners, their
husband and/or wives, whether they
be residents of the State of Maryland
or not" In this respect you have
failed to mention that all persons who
are qualified to vote for members of
the General Assembly of Maryland,
and who have resided in said town
six months next preceding any cleo
ton, are also entitled to vote on this
subject. And further that Chapter
578, Acts of 1888, to which your at
tention is especially invited and .di-
rected, provides that only those per-
sons, in addition to the resident vot-
ers, citizens of the United States and
bona fide owners of real estate in
said town for twelve months preceding
any election shall be entitled to vote
at any Town election, and not as stated
in your article, husband and/or wives
Of such property holders.
You, no doubt, as well as the person
who drafted this bill, have failed to
consider the Acts of 1888, previously
referred to herein.
Most respectfully,
DARWIN B. MARTIN.

COTTON HALVES
EARLY GAINS

NEW YORK. Dec. 81 GNSO.
Gains in cotton futures were cut
in half in later trading as the
stimulus Of higher Liverpool cables
wore off and demand slackened.
Trading slowed down again to an
extent after moderate activity re-
sulting from the reopening of for
eign markets today after the holi-
days.
There was a fair demand from
the trade, commission houses, and
foreign sources, especially Liver
pool, the Continent and Japan
Spot houses and cooperatives
joined the South and New Orleans
in liquidating.
In early dealings the relatively
greater strength of the near cop
tracts as opposed to the distant
months was again in evidence and
the January contract extended its
premium over the new December
option to SO points.
Switching from the distant con.
tracts and buying in the near
months continued to reflect the
uncertainty of the staples future
should the Supreme Court decide
against the Bankhead bill.
Towards noon the market con.
tinued relatively quiet, with quota
tions showing minor net gains.
March was quoted at 1928, up;
May lila, up 3; July 1894, up 3;
October 1889, up 8 points.

MARKET MIXED
AFTER STRONG
OPENING
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 GN.SO.
After a strong opening, the stock
market turned irregular today.
Changes, however, were mostly
confined to fractions and the
trading pace was slightly below
that of yesterdays session.
Profit taking depressed aviation
shares and the utilities. which
also were bid up yesterday, quiet
ed down.
Merchandising Shares Up
Reflecting a post-seaSon check
up of Christmas sales which
showed substantial gains over
1884, merchandising shares bright
ened, with Macy and Woolworth
registering gains.
Reports of a cold snap through
out the country buoyed the COM
mercial alcohol issues because of
the stimulus to sales of antifreeze
mixtures.
The chemical group, under the
lead Of dupont, chalked up gains
of good-sized fractions. The tex
tile issues also were higher, with
Celanese an active feature with
gain of 2 points.
Motors Mixed
ChrySler improved fractionally
as yesterdays profit-taking pres
sure let up. Auburn was up a
point, but the other motor issues
were unchanged to lower.
The rails we're mixed, with New
York Central, Atchison and Union
Pacific higher and the others un-
changed to lower.
