town authorities considered it repres-
entative enough to guarantee action
on their part in the matter of money
expenditures. It read as follows:
"Be it resolved at this joint meet
ing of the Lions and Rotary Clubs
of Pocomoke City here assembled this
Twenty-first day of January, 1885;
that if the Mayor and Council Of Po-
comoke City feel that these two SER
vice clubs and their, guests here to-
night do not properly represent
cross section of our community and
are not sufficiently representative to
properly sustain the action of the
Mayor and Council in mourning such
expenditures for these improvements
then and only then by this resolu-
ton we hereby request the Mayor and
Council to call a Citizens Meeting to
be held Monday evening, January 9th
for further discussion of any or all
projects offered tonight"
The second resolution had to do
with expenditures of city funds in the
purchase Of land for a community

"Be is resolved at this joint meet
ing of the Lions and Rotary Clubs OF
Pocomoke City and their Guests, here
assembled this 21st day of January,
1886; that the Mayor and Council
of Pocomoke City, Maryland be and
are hereby requested to proceed at
once with the purchase of suitable
lands required for the development OF

Project offered by the Federal Gov
eminent w. p A. And be it further
resolved that the Mayor and Council
be requested to notify at once the
proper official of the Federal Govern
ment of their acceptance of the Gov

er requirement necessary to start I'M
mediate work on this Project.

presented to the Mayor and Council
The terms of the owners for the
sale of a tract of land in "Hearne's'
woods, were presented by Mr.. JOSEPH
C. Stevenson and were as follows:
"The owners of Hearne's Woods
where the park is expected to be To-
Gated will agree to sell to the Mayor

proximately 80 acres of ground, which

foot street from Linden Avenue to the
river at Winter Quarter to be hard
surfaced, provided the assessment on
the property along this road will not
be increased on account of the i'm
provements, except Of course if lot
should be sold the purchaser would
then be subject to new assessment on
the property purchased by him.
"In the event that the town has
not sufficient money in hand and
would prefer, satisfactory arrange
ments can be made for the payment
by extending the time for payment
for period of five years.
eff, however, the park should not
be developed an agreement can be en-
tered into whereby the town could
deed back to the owners the part in
tended for the park and cancel the
obligation"
The matter of the building for col
ored school children was brought up,
but was soon disposed of by state
ment from DIR. N. E. Sartorius, men,
Der County Board of Education, which
assured those present that the Board
was now in a position to go ahead
with that project; consequently, res
olution bearing upon the matter was
withdrawn.
The meeting was really important
one in the impetus given to city pros
poets, and all those present left feel
ing sure something really concrete
would result from the discussions,
recommendations and resolutions.
Since the above was in type, the
Mayor has assured the Democrat"
that the projects having to do with
improved sewers and additional i'm
proved streets, and the Municipal
Park will have a one-hundred percent
approval of the City Council and will
be pushed forward to completion
provided labor can be secured for the
work.

SERENADES BY
DOGS DISTURB
Ell CENTRANS


Canine concerts rendered dur
ing these warm nights fall up
on the unappreciative ears of
disgruntled Ell Centre residents
who continually telephone police
headquarters to demand that
someone do something so they
may get some sleep.
Officers no sooner break up
doggish renditions of barber shop
harmony in one part of town un-
til an0sner section reports choir
practice in the Key of C some
where else.
Cease and desist orders thus
far have been ineffective. Off
GERS now are contemplating the
use of tear gas and if that does
not work, they may use a little of
the famous nausea gas. They
know that will discourage the
most persistent of dogdom's con-
cert artists.

They fought losing battle against
the blaze with every fire extin-
guisher available. Just as they were
about to bring the blaze under con-
troll. the supply of chemicals was
exhausted. They were forced TO let
the fire burn itself out, according
to j. j. Campbell, county farm SUI
pervisor.
The entire supply of loose and
baled hay went up in smoke.
Campbell said, representing a large
loss.
Other buildings were not en-
dangered because of the isolated
situation of the burned buildings,

u. S. CLIMB TO
ALL TIME HIGH

WASHINGTON, Oct. is. W.p} -
Gold stocks of the United States
today set an all time high when
they passed the $11 O0.000. 600 mark.
A steady inflow of gold from
abroad was shown to have boosted
the stocks to $11,001 .612. .764 On the
daily treasury statement for Oct.
13.
This gives the United States
more than half of the estimated
total visible world stocks of the
yellow metal of $21 ,875 900 900. The
increase was approximately SI5,-
100000 over Oct. II and $1,529, ,000,-
900 over the same date last year.
Secretary of Treasury Henry Nor
genthau, jr., said that the increase
in gold stocks had nothing to do
with the agreement among the
United States, Great Britain and
France permit the buying and
selling of gold among their stabil-
ization funds, effective Tuesday.

posed to the ultimate confiscation
of farms and homes"
AT the same time, William L.
Hutcheson. head of the brother
hood of carpenters and joiners,
and director of the labor division
of the Republican national COM
mittee, issued a statement from
the Landon train in which he
accused the New Deal of using
its influence to control the inter-
national affairs of labor unions"
This was Illustrated" he said,
when notice went forth to COM
pei union men of Chicago to march
in the parade held in that city
last night for President Roosevelt.
1T is the recognized right of
unions to direct members to par
ticipate in labor parade. but it is
an unheard of thing to compel
them to march in a political par
ade,' Hutcheson said. THE tao
tics used in promoting last nights
parade in Chicago are similar -
those used in countries under die

Police estimated they fired 40 to
so rounds of tear gas before the
crowd of strikers fell back.
The pickets arrived early today
as trucks laden with lettuce arrived
from the fields and were taken to
the packing plant.
The strikers shouted at the strike
breaker drivers and threw rocks at
the trucks.
The new outbreak of violence in
the 41-day-old lettuce workers
strike came after Mayor E. j.
Leach of Salinas announced that

After the tear gas barrage the
strikers attempted marching
demonstration through downtown
Salinas streets but were turned off
main thoroughfares by police.
They then reformed their ranks
for parading through another street
but police quickly broke up their
lines and the pickets scattered
