Almost unanimously last night

luton presented by Samuel E.
Stonebreaker and adopted by the
board Of directors last week, urg-
ing that any movement to reas-

depression is definitely over.
Mr.. Stonebreaker pointed out

burden Of approximately $4,000
on them.
Another resolution, urging the
early widening and improvement
Of Old Georgetown Road, from the
Bank of Bethesda to the northern
boundary of Alta Vista, was also
unanimously adopted.
Instead of advocating a reduc.

voted to request that the 81a per

to 10 per cent.

COUNTY HEADS
10 CONSIDER
SALES TAX

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Jan.
Three problems, two Of which
concern the sales tax, will be
brought before the meeting Of the
County Commissioners Association
Of Western Maryland when that
body meets at Frederick on jan
uary Is to plan legislation for the
special session Of the legislature
next month.
Some form Of sales tax will be
recommended by the body, a sur
vey indicated today. What form,
however, will be a bitterly debated
question, with Allegany county
favoring a consumers tax, and
Montgomery and Prince Georges
counties split on the issue.
Would Aid Relief
Prince Georges delegates are ex.
pected to, raise the plan, backed
by Commissioner Joseph Bland.
ford, of Brandywine, by which the
counties would receive sufficient
sales tax funds to maintain their
relief programs. This problem
will have a wide political appeal
since it would enable commission
ers to shift a part of their budget
expense and thus obviate an in.
crease in tax rates in an election
year.
The third problem was fought
over last year by the association,
and concerns the demand of the
group that secondary road Sys.
TENS be turned to county control
by the State Roads Commission.
The association last year insisted
that counties can maintain their
roads more cheaply and eff.
GENTLY than the State body.
Has Worked So Well
n. Mason Hill, of Cumberland,
secretary of the association, today
reported a decided interest in the
West Virginia sales tax which
has worked so we'll" adding that
the group will consider it.
In the belief that joint action
is more successful than individual
county petitions to the State leg
islature, the Western Maryland
counties revived the association
last year shortly before the leg
islature convened. To iron out
differences in time for the be-
ginning of this years session, the
group will meet early and come
to some agreement on questions
that affect them Jointly, it was
said.

spending period of 1884, and 1884
exports had been 80 per cent
higher than those for 1888.
Cotton exports to the end Of No
vember totaled 182.414 bales, Of
which Germany took one-third.
The British market took 32,66O
bales, France 8,516, Holland 1887

known when the steamers left

ported four bales.
This rapid increase in cotton
output is due directly to govern
ment encouragement, which dates
from a few days after the United
States announced the curtailment
of it's cotton production.
This government supervision &C.
tolerated and brought to a fair de.
gree of perfection the slow process
of producing standard types Of cot
ton. The principal complaint
against Argentine cotton, as
against all new producing areas,
had been that it was not uniform.

SCOUTS BIG AID.
TO WILD LIFE

When conservationists meet
here in February at the cali Of
the President to consider more
effective means of preserving
the nations wild life. the Boy
Scouts Of America will be ready
to cooperate. From its founding
in this country 26 years ago, the
group has worked to conserve
and befriend the untamed deni-
zens Of forest and field.
To birds. particularly, Scouts
have lent q helping hand. Each
spring thousands of houses are
built and set up for feathered
tenants, either as individual,
patrol or troop projects; but it
is in winter that the most valu-
able good turn is performed.
When cold weather grips the
country and natures supplies are
shut off by ice and snow, scout
volunteers take up the task Of
providing food for birds who
would otherwise suffer and die
in large numbers.
Scouts who perform exceptional
work in the conservation and
protection of wild life may be
honored with the Hornaday
Medal. Kemp B. Nye, a Lone
Scout Of Grassy Creek, N. c.,
received this award in 1882 for
persuading so many farmers and
forest owners to prohibit hunt
ing on their grounds that more
than 500 acres were transformed
into a sanctuary.
