let us tell you that it is a very black,
Black Squirrel and there is a reward
of $1,000 for it. We aren't certain
whether that means dead or alive, but
one thing is sure, either way is pretty
hopeless, for it is the fastest squirrel
We we're saw. All of our neighbors are
figuring way to trap it. Not US.
The rummage sale being held in
Oakland by the Civic Club of Noun
tain Lake Park opens for three days
this morning. It isn't too late to tele-
phone and if you have any donations
a car will be sent to bring it in to
the sale.
At the last meeting of the Garrett
County Board of Commissioners a
number of Park citizens and hotel
owners appeared and had a hearing
relative to the question of the legal
ity of not taxing two hotel properties
in the Park which are owned by the
Mountain Lake Park Association and
which have been exempt from all State,
county ard town taxes for some time.
The evidence produced was to the
effect that these hotels operated on
the same lines and catered to the same
patronage as other hotels in the Park
all of which are held for State and
+ county taxes; that it is unjust to
these hotel owners to be held for
taxes, while the Associations proper
ties are tax-free, and which appar-
emily under the State Code of Mary
land, are not exempt from taxation.
1t was contended at the hearing
that the State Tax Commission, when
it exempted the properties from taxa
ton, did not possess full particulars of
the situation, and no opportunity had
been offered to present both sides Of
the case.
The former assessed valuation Of
the property involved, and upon which
all State, county and town taxes had
been exempted, is around $4,000.
The County Commissioners took the
matter under consideration and an
nounced they would render a decision
at an early date.
