SAVAGE DAM BILL TO GET
HEARING in LEGISLATURE
Mayor Legge of Cumberland
Says Clauses Objected To By
Garrett Are Eliminated
DEFINES POTOMAC BASIN

Hearings on the proposed bill to
create a water district in connection
with the Savage River dam project,
will be held this week by the General
Assembly, it has been announced.
City and county officials of Cumber-
land and Allegany county, and repre-
sentatives from Garrett county will at
tend. Blaine Giessman, John W. Her
man and Virgil 7. Steyer, commission
ers, and Neil c. Fraley, attorney to
the Board, expect to be present.
Mayor George W. Legge, Cumber-
land, pointed out that the Legislature
will adjourn at the end of this month
and that action should be taken to
speed up the project. Unless the pro-
posed bill is approved by the Legisla-
ture, the Mayor said, the plan may
have to be abandoned.
He explained that the opportunity to
obtain Federal aid for the project may
be gone within a few months and that
the impounding dam cannot be built
without financial assistance from the
government.
Replying to the opposition to the
measure which was voiced by the
Garrett County Commissioners, the
Mayor said that the clauses which the
Garrett officials opposed have been
stricken from the bill and that the
cost of maintaining the dam will not
be placed upon the taxpayers of this
county.
Another provision of the measure
opposed by the Garrett officials has
also been removed, Mayor Legge said.
The original clause gave the water
board, created by the bill, power over
all streams in Allegany and Garrett
counties, but this feature has been
changed to read: "all tributaries of
the Potomac river in the two coun-
ties"
Cumberland industries and health
authorities, who are the direct bene-
fciaries, are supporting the project
which has been planned by engineers
to assure controlled flow of the
Potomas river at all seasons of the
year. Engineers claim a better water
supply will aid industries and improve
sanitary conditions in and about the
city of Cumberland.

FROSTBURG FEARS RABIES
EPIDEMIC; DOGS HUNTED
Posse Stays Three Animals After
Three Men Had Been Bitten

An epidemic of rabies is feared in
Frostburg, as the result of several
people being bitten by rabid dogs.
Last Thursday group of twelve
men, headed by the chief of police,
shot and killed three dogs, believed to
have been mad, after a search last
ing three hours. Three men were re-
ported to have been attacked by large
hound and bitten by the animal. JOS
eph Brode, Fred Spalla and Granville
Blocher, all residents of the west end
of Frostburg, were the victims.
The hound started on a rampage,
and after attacking the three men bit
two other dogs-a police dog and a
small mongrel. Some of the best
marksmen in the community joined in
the search which ended in the killing
of the three animals.
A fourth mad dog was reported to
be running at large. The police chief
stated that drastic steps would have
to be taken to rid the town of dogs
running at large because of the danger
of rabid dog attacking other animals
and causing an epidemic of rabies.
The presence of this disease along
the border of Garrett county is dan
ger to all animals and people.
According to Dr. E. c. Peck, health
OFFICER, any stray dog which acts in a
queer manner should be avoided. If a
suspicious animal is killed, care should
be taken to save the head without in
jury to it, wrap it up, pack it in ice
and send it to the State Board of
Health laboratory for examination.
If the owner of dog which bites any
one is known, the dog should not be
killed, but should be kept under close
observation for ten days. If the dog is
sick with rabies he will show signs of
the disease in that period. There is
still time to give the Pasteur treat
ment to the person bitten. Many dogs
have been killed unnecessarily through
hasty action, DR.. Peck stated.
