CITIZENS DECIDE BY 4 TOT
FOR $4,000 BOND ISSUE
Special Election Held Monday
Under An Act of Legislature

By a vote of 1872 to 40, or almost a
four-to-one majority, the citizens of
Oakland declared in favor of a bond
issue of $4,000, the proceeds of which
are to be used to build an auxiliary
reservoir for the town.
The matter was decided at a special
election held on Monday under a ref
erendum contained in a measure passed
at the recent session of the General
Assembly.
The plan is to erect the reservoir
in the near future while the Federal
Government is assisting in such pro-
jects, allowing a percentage on labor
materials, etc. Before the Government
would assist in such an undertaking,
it was necessary for the community to
show it was able to care for its share
of the work and expense incident to
the matter. 1t is not expected that
the entire amount of the bond issue
will be used for this purpose, according
to Mayor Grover C. Stemple.
The present reservoir has capac-
ity Of $4,000 gallons.

Three Cars Robbed OF Contents
Monday Night

Three automobiles standing on Sec
ond street near the William-James
Hotel, were robbed on Monday night, in
one instance the thieves taking radio
and a hot water heater, both of which
were accessories placed in the vehicle
by the owner John F. Boose, Pitts
burgh, had an overcoat, f1ashlight,
bathrobe and other personal belong
ings stolen and overshoe samples,
which he carried as a salesman, scat
tered over the pavement nearby. The
ventilator on his car had been broken
through which entrance to the car was
gained.
J. @. McComas, of Baltimore, sales
man who maintains his headquarters
here and who had failed to lock his
car doors, lost his radio, hot water
heater, trench coat and other personal
belongings.
William Anderson, Akron, lost an
overcoat, thermos bottle and some
other personal belongings.
At a point near St. Pauls M. E.
church on Oak street, truck contain
ing dairy products which had been
parked for the night, was also forced
open and cheese and other things stol-
en- from it.
On Oak street three youths were
seen and were evidently engaged in
milking" cars of gasoline, as they
had with them a can and a length of
hose, but they were frightened away
by the party who saw them.
Although the thefts were reported
to local authorities, no clue as to the
identity of the robber or robbers has
been found. 1t is supposed that one
was mechanically minded, as both the
radio and heater were taken from the
McComas car in a manner suggesting
that the person who did it knew his
business.

SAVAGE RIVER PROJECT
AWAITS ENGINEERS PLAN
Commission Will Confer With
PWA Officials to Speed Work

Action looking toward the erection
of the proposed impounding dam on
Savage River, probably will be taken
within two weeks, according to mem
bers of the commission having the
matter in charge. Preliminary plans
are now being prepared by Ralph l..
Rizer, engineer, of Cumberland. The
plans are to be taken to Baltimore
when completed for the approval of
Abel Wolman, State engineer of the
PWA, and Nathan L. Smith, chief en-
gineer of the State Roads Commission.
Mayor George W. Legge, Cumber-
land, Owen Hitchins, Cumberland, and
George Warwick, Bloomington, COM
pose the Upper Potomac River Com
mission supervising the project.
Several surveys have been made in
the area which would be inundated in
Garrett county. The project, designed
to assure a controlled flow of the Po-
tomac River at all seasons of the year,
is expected to be financed in whole or
in part by the PWA. The cost of the
dam has been estimated at $1,250,000.
According to plans, the dam will be
erected about seven miles west of
Piedmont and will back up the water of
Savage River for a distance of five
miles. Several roads and bridges would
have to be relocated and the Bond CCC
camp would have to be moved to
another site.
Dams now supplying Westernport
and Piedmont with water are in the
area to be inundated, but the proposed
dam would assure ample water supply
for the two towns, it was stated.
