SEVERE ELECTRICAL AND
WIND STORMS STRIKE AREA
Bring Much Damage To Crops;
Trees By the Score Blown Down;
Lightning Strikes Frequently
RAINFALL is VERY HEAVY

Two severe storms swept out
of the north Monday bringing
wind, rain, hail and lightning
that damaged crops, buildings
and trees. The period Of drought
was ended with almost four
inches of rainfall, but there was
much destruction wrought by the
storms.
Reports of storm damage in
all sections of the county reached here
Tuesday and yesterday. High winds
uprooted trees by the score, some of
them blocking Route PIG for a short
time Monday evening, but this road
was cleared within a comparatively
short time after reports of its con-
dition was made known at the State
Roads Commission Office in Oakland.
Electric current of the West Penn
Power Company was out early Monday
morning in certain sections when a
transformer was struck by lightning.
The storm also dimmed the lights on
Monday night. Current was cut off
from the Youghiogheny Hydro-Electric
power house by the storm and towns in
Pennsylvania and Deep Creek Lake
residents were without electricity I'M
til the next day.
Lightning Strikes Home
Lightning struck the home Of DIR.
and Mrs. John G. Robinson, south Of
town, on Monday evening, damaging
one side of the building and knocking
the plaster from the walls of one Of
the bedrooms. The Oakland fire de-
partment was called to prevent any
damage from fire that might result,
but the lightning did its damage with
out the resultant fire.
Two cows owned by F. N. Culber-
son, near Deer Park, were killed by
lightning, while lightning struck five
times on the farm of Mrs. Wade H.
Loar at Swanton, one bolt killing a
cow.
Damages In Grantsville Community
Both storms did considerable dam
age in the Grantsville community, in
the town and surrounding sections
electric current was cut off from 600
o'clock Monday evening until noon on
Tuesday. Trees were uprooted; the
orchard on the farm of Mrs. Gregory
Bevans being reported as having been
devastated by the wind. The roof on
the barn of the Jeffeson burst prop
erty was blown off; corn and oats were
laid to the ground.
The barn of Jacob J. Kinsinger, 3
miles south of Grantsville, more than
a century old, was struck by light
ming Monday evening and destroyed by
resulting fire along with its con-
tents excepting live stock and fowls.
This years crops had been stored in
the structure. Mr.. and Mrs. Kinsinger
and son Orville and his wife were in
the barn milking cows at the time.
All felt the shock, the son and wife
being shocked quite severely. A cow
was knocked down. Grantsville firemen
weer summoned with difficulty, as tel
ephone lines were down. The depart
men arrived at the farm after fire had
spread through the structure. Their
work, however, saved other buildings
from the roaring flames of the burn
ing structure, which was built of heavy
timbers and were as dry as finder.

WESTERN SHORE COUNTIES
URGE 1887 REASSESSMENT
County Commissioners Also De-
mand Return of Lateral Roads
To Their Jurisdiction
WILL DRAFT LEGISLATION

County commissioners of the Mary
land western shore renewed their de-
mands for return of the lateral roads
to the counties and for a general re-
assessment of property for taxation,
at their meeting in Frederick last
Thursday.
They also acted at their meeting to
speed up the distribution of state
funds for relief of the needy and to
obtain what they called a "more
equitable ALLEGATION to the gasoline
tax to the counties"
Paul Coughlin, of Montgomery
county, backed the PROPOSED for a
statewide re-assessment of property.
1t was virtually the same as one
adopted by the commissioners last
year and submitted to the legislature.
The legislators, after a contest of
some intensity, turned down meas
ures for the property re-assessment
and for retur nof the lateral or coun-
ty roads 70 the care of the counties.
In taking up the matter again Of
the return of the lateral roads to
their, jurisdiction, the commissioners
adopted resolution calling on A..
Charles Stewart, Of Allegany county,
their president, to name a committee
to draft the necessary legislation.
Would Return Roads
The bill would put the roads back
into the jurisdiction of the counties
by 1897. It also would provide for a
new basis for distribution of the
gasoline tax to the counties.
In discussing the gasoline tax dis
tribution, speakers at the meeting
said it is now being allocated on a
county mileage basis more than
twenty-five years old.
The commissioners called for the
property re-assessment to be made in
1887. Before acting on this matter,
Michael ]. Lindsay, chief supervisor
of assessments of the state tax COM
mission, spoke infavor of the step.
Lindsay said the following condi-
lions demanded reassessment:
Changes in property values over an
average period Of ten years.
"New books are needed in the Offices
of the commissioners, because the
present ones are cluttered up with
transfers, subdivisions of property
and the like.
"a lot of personal property has es-
capped taxation.
Securities which became valuless
during the depression and were re-
moved from the books are now paying
dividends and should be returned for
taxation"
The action looking to an early allo-
cation of state relief funds was pune
tuated by remarks by the commits
sioners on what their counties are do
ing, pending receipt of the funds de-
rived by the special relief taxes.
Committee Named
Taking definite action, the COM
missioners voted to send a committee
to call on State Comptroller William
s. Gordy, Jr., to ask him just when
the money would be available. Mem
bers of the committee are:
Thomas ]. Cullimore, president Of
the Anne Arundel county board; A. H.
Derr, president of the Frederick
county board; and Frank H. Karn'
president of the Montgomery county
board.
Members of the Garrett County
Board of Commissioners attended the
meeting.

in a good word for Bobby Riggs, the
latest prodigy of the tennis world.

said Mr.. Bulge, dropping his remarks
with all the solemn wisdom of an
elderly soothsayer, though the fellow
Is but STRIPPING. Riggs should be
a Davis Cup bet If he can get his
mental processes under control. And
also if he can learn to come to the
net. Coming to the net and winning
from there is the thing that distin-
guishes a big-time tennis player from
the average tournament tramp"
Mr.. Bulge gracefully admitted
that he learned this lesson at
the large feet of Frederick Perry,
the fun-loving Englishman.
Il used to make most of my shots
from the back of the court" he said,
land figured that those back-court
drives were good enough to win for
me. But they weren't. watched
Perry and got my answer from him.
That guy has as good long game as
anybody in the world, but that's not

see any harm in this at all, being of
the notion that, If young blade is

right dishonest to conceal it. But the
audience feels otherwise.
The approaching national tourna-

important test for the new white hopes
of American tennis, the Riggses and
Hunts and Hendryxes and McDiar-
mids. Mr.. Frank Parker. the perennial
Freshman, will be In there, too, with

looms like Bulge, Allison and the fun
loving Freddy Perry providing the
foreworks. This does not leave much
room in the Semi-finals for the fresh
men, especially when you consider
that lot of good second-flight play
ers, such as Bitsy Grant, Sid Wood
and Frank Shields, will be slugging
along with the same end in view.
But the youngsters will have their
chance, and, If there is any perma-
nent merit in Riggs or Hunt or Hen

onstrated to some extent at Forest
Hills.
Frankly, I do not think this
new crop will effect the saliva

the retrieval of the Holy Tennis
Grail or Davis Cup.
Good young tennis players come
along every year. but it's not every
year that you encounter Vines or
Stoefen or Bulge. England has
guarded the silverware safely for sea-
son after season with a team Of two
men. We can't find even that many.
But the aged DR.. Bulge contend
that this Riggs is a conner. and the
old fellow knows more about it than
I do. If he's right, I will give Mr..
Riggs public retraction and a Ii
cense to lead his own cheering section

of year, about next years Davis Cup
team. Riggs, who hammered the
chestnut stufing out of Bitsy Grant on
the tournament circuit the other day,
is one of the bright lights of the
younger generation. Every Summer
produces a new tennis generation.
Bulge is one of the old-timers, a
veritable gaffer at toe age Of 81, and
this qualities him to cock wise and
reflective lamp at the freshman crop
and to speak his mind about it.
They tell me that Joe Hunt Is
playing right good tennis" said the
hoary seer. IT guess he and Riggs
are the best Of the new guys. though,
of course. frankie Parker will be up
there with them or above them If he
ever can get his forehand to working
right. We certainly need new ma
terial"
This Riggs of whom the venerable
DR.. Budge speaks is Californian,
which puts him in direct line of de-
scent from Ellsworth Vines and
Bulge. Vines and Bulge came out
of the same sunny Commonwealth to
sweep the courts of the world with
their red-hot rackets. Vines, you re-
member, was a mute, gauche, dead
panned young fellow when he broke
in. Bulge was more animate, more
given to gestures on the court, but
he didn't overdo it.
Riggs Is q gesturer Of the
most fragrant and fiorid type.
They say that this is his chief
weakness.
Bobby plays to the grandstand in
q manner reminiscent of my old
friend, Monsieur Jean Borotra, that
droll fellow. AS far as can see,
grandstand tactics never impaired M.
Borotra's game in the least. The fans
Tapped it up. When the jolly Basque
jumped in the air for joy, or pre-
tended to be dying on his feet for

opponents. Frequently I have heard
M. Borotra's opponents speak to him
in terms which I cannot repeat In

rotra's buffoonery was distinct asset
to M. Borotra.
