Set Aside
Cecil And Hartford Will Not
Get Lower Electric Rates

The order passed by the Public
Service Commission of Maryland,
some weeks ago, directing the Como
wingo Power Company, which serves
Cecil and part of Hartford counties
with electric current, to reduce rates
for electricity has been set aside by
decision handed down by Judge
Joseph N. Ulman, in the Circuit
Court for Baltimore City.
The company filed suit asserting
that the Commissions order to re-
duce rates and cut its valuation by
more than 100000 was unreason-
able and unlawful. The company
also asserted that the Public Service
Commission used unlawful stand
ards and measures" in computing its
valuation CT the company's property.
It is understood that there will be
an appeal from Judge Ulman's de-
cision.

New Highway Route
Opposed
Would Bypass Elkton-Pro-
test Meetings Planned

AS the State Roads Commission
acquires property rights and makes
plans to build the new Philadelphia
Road next year, there is a rise of
sentiment against the proposed
route in Elkton and along the pres
ent road, particularly among those
who depend much upon the highway
traffic for their business.
From what can be learned from
reliable sources, the route of the new
highway will go north of the town
of North East, will not pass through
the business part Of Elkton, but will
cross the Pennsylvania Railroad at
the present overhead bridge on West
Main street, extended, then go south,
crossing Big Elk creek and tieing in
with the present Elkton-G Glasgow
road about mile east of Elkton.
The proposed plan is unsatisfactory
to a number of property owners in
Elkton and residents along the pres
ent h ghway and it is expected that
protest meetings will be held and
the State Roads Commission petition
ed not to carry out the plans as
announced

RLANKETED BY HEAVY SNOW

The winters deepest snow sifted
n on us, like fine sand, on Sunday,
olanketing everything to the depth
Of fully ten inches. Fine snowiakes
began flying about eleven o'clock
sunday morning, and as the day wore
along the snow storm got down to
real business, continuing all night,
and until Monday morning.
The wind swirled the light, dry
snow about, piling it UP in drifts and
slowing up all traffic.
The State Road plows were early
on the job, working all night and
Nept the MAIN highways open, but
the deep snow made travel condi-
ions perilous, and many a motorist
nad his troubles when turning out of
The beaten track in order 20 pass an
other vehicle.
Monday morning business was
nearly at a standstill, all hands de-
voting several hours to the task of
Iigging out.
The temperature continued low,
.ouching ten degrees Monday morn
.ng, but moderating in the afternoon,
Ind Tuesday morning, with the re-
urn of bright sunshine and rising
temperature, things began to assume
i more normal aspect.

SMALL DWELLING BURNED

Continued sounding of the fire
siren and fiery glow in the sky
aroused the citizens of our town at
about 1890 Sunday night, while the
snow storm was raging. A small
frame dwelling, located near the
water standpipe and in close proxim-
ity to ether frame structures, was
discovered to be ON fire. The prop
erty belonged to Mrs. j. A. Pogue, of
this town, and was occupied by Fred
Jones, colored. The location of the
small frame building, in close prox-
unity to two other dwellings, a
garage, stable and the hardware
store OF JOS S. Pogue, Sons & Co.,
made the fire particularly danger
Gus one, and but for the prompt re-
Spouse of the Community Fire Com
pany, whose engine house was but a
few hundred yards distant, serious
conflagration would have resulted.
The firemen soon had a stream of
water on the burning building, which
was doomed before discovery of the
blaze was made. Aided by the di-
rection of the wind and the deep
snow that blanketed everything and
kept flying sparks from igniting
roofs of other structures, the fire was
soon brought under control, but not
before the dwelling was completely
Quilted. The Jones family lost every
thing, including all household effects,
clothing, food supplies, etc., nothing
being saved. The occupants of the
house were all absent at the time of
the outbreak of the fire, which is
supposed to have originated from an
overheated stove. The blaze was not
discovered until the interior of the
building was seething mass of
flames.
There was a partial insurance on
the house, but the Jones family lost
everything and carried no insurance.
