ORDINANCE PASSED OVER
VETO OF MAYOR FRALEY
Law Prohibits Sale of Fireworks
Within Limits of Oakland

The two ordinances passed at the
last meeting of the Mayor and Town
Council, pertaining to firecrackers and
fireworks, and prohibiting hogs from
being kept within the corporate limits,
came up for consideration again at
the regular July meeting on Monday
evening.
The signature of the mayor was re-
quired to make the documents effec-
tive and Mayor Fraley signed only
the latter one, pertaining to hogs.
The ordinance pertaining to fire
works, however, became effective when
council passed it unanimously over
his veto. Only a two-thirds vote was
necessary.
In refusing to sign the fireworks
ordinance, which prohibits merchants
from having for sale or selling them,
Mayor Fraley said he was opposed to
the shooting of firecrackers on the
streets of Oakland but was not opposed
to the sale of them. At his request, w.
A. Gender, who handles fireworks in
his store from year to year; was given
a hearing before council prior to the
vote adopting the ordinance without
the mayors signature.
Other Matters Before Council
James Compton, who was given a
furlough by council month ago, re-
sumed his duties as water superinten-
dent.
For the second time Mayor Fraley
recommended John J. Sweeney to the
position of day policeman, but council
took no action of approval or disap-
proval. To become effective the ap-
pointments made by the mayor must
have the sanction of council.
A motion was adopted appropriat-
ing the sum of $100 for the public Ii
brary for the year. This is one-half
the amount given each year for the
past several years.
Special Meeting Next Week
A special meeting is to be held next
Monday evening to discuss the kind of
material to be used in the construction
of the auxiliary reservoir to be built
by the town. At the last meeting of
council it was decided to build res
ervoir with a capacity Of approx
mately 100000 gallons.
Lumber for the construction of
bridge spanning Wilson creek in an
alley between Second and Third streets
and in the rear of the Oakland Bakery,
has been purchased and work on the
bridge is to begin Immediately.
Council passed a motion favoring
the closing of the space between the
Offutt and Gortner buildings on Sec
ond street, providing property owners
were agreeable, and Stuart F. Hamill
was ordered notified that the West
building on Railroad street was con-
sidered fire hazard and should be re-
moved or improved.
A permit was granted Leighton
Bros. the right to lay cement from the
front of their garage to connect with
the cement roadway of Third street.
A permit was also granted Philip
Whitaker for theerection of garage
on his Oak street property.
Passing of the monthly bills of ap-
proximating $1,000, was the only
other matters of business disposed of.

BODIES OF TWO STUDENTS
FOUND FLOATING In LAKE
Catholic Seminarians Drowned
Last Wednesday in Deep Creek,
Recovered Early Saturday
MEMORIAL SERVICE HELD

The discovery early Saturday
morning of the bodies of two
Catholic Seminary students dis
closed a desperate, unavailing
struggle with death in the clear
waters of Deep Creek Lake.
Fellow students from the near
by summer camp found the life
less bodies of Alfred Schneider,
%, of Faux Center, Mimi, and
Francis Rdzok, "a, Chicago, ILL.,,
floating in the North Glade inlet of
the lake. The point was only a few
yards away from that where the canoe
of the young men capsized Wednes-
day afternoon.
Bodies Bare of Clothing
The bodies were bare of outer cloth
ing except for heavy jacket about
one. This gave added evidence of the
frantic struggles of the two, neither
an able swimmer, as they wrenched
off their heavy clothing and attempted
to save themselves from their capsized
boat.
The first indication of the tragedy
was the discovery of the overturned
boat Wednesday evening. The pair
had left the camp about 400 o'clock.
The time of their drowning is set at
sos, as watches found in the pockets
of the trousers had stopped at that
time. The trusers were found floating
near the surface of the water on
Thursday.
When the young men failed to return
to camp in time for the evening meal
a search was instituted by fellow
campers and others, assisted by men,
bers of the Oakland Fire Department,
the rescue squad from the Cumber-
land Police Department, State police
and volunteers from cottages situated
about the lake.
Schrieber and Rdzok, graduates Of
Notre Dame University, were attend
ing camp of the Holy Cross Con-
gregation at the House of Studies
connected with the Catholic Univer-
sity, Washington. Forty-seven semi
narians had been registered at the
camp, representing next years sopho-
mores, junior and seniors.
The priest in charge of the camp is
Rev. FIR. Kenna, C. S. c., of Washing
ton, D. c., who was greatly affected
by the tragedy attending the other
wise promising and enjoyable sum-
mer.
Memorial Services Held Here
Sorrowing fellow students of the
two victims of the tragedy, held a
memorial service in St. Peters Cath
olic church in Oakland Monday morn
ing at eight o'clock.
The pastor of the church, Rev. FIR.
William F. Sauer, was the celebrant
of a solemn requiem mass, central fea-
ture of the memorial. The Rev. Fran
els Mcbride, of Holy Cross, Washing
ton, was the deacon, and the Rev.
John Kenna, in charge of the Holy
Cross camp on the lake, was sub-dea-
con. The Holy Cross students had
charge of the ceremonies and their
choir sang the mass. There was large
attendance of sympathetic friends.
Separate services were arranged
for the drowned students at their own
churches upon the arrival of the
bodies, which We're sent from Oak

 The firm engages in architectural work of every type and has designed buildings to be erected througout the Territory. MT. Foss stated that the former title of his company was somewhat misleading since it cited his firm primarily as a con- struction company.
