No Decision Rendered on Offer
of Hospital

The County Commissioners made
no decision on the offer of the original
Offutt home to be used as a county
hospital, when they met in regular
session this week.
At the last meeting William R.
Offutt offered the large dwelling to
the commissioners free of charge,
providing it would be made into a
hospital.
The commissioners asked that citi-
zens express themselves on the mat
ter, but there had been no comments
made up to the time the commission
ers adjourned on Tuesday evening.
It was intimated that although the
commissioners were grateful for the
offer, it probably would not be ac-
copied as the expense of equipping
and maintaining a hospital would be
too great for the county to bear.

ALLEGATION of Funds to Build
Savage River Dam Is Urged

Early ALLEGATION of funds to con-
struct dams in West Virginia and
Maryland was urged Tuesday at a
conference of Senators and represen-
tatives with President Roosevelt in
Washington.
Senators M. M. Nicely, (D-W. Va.)
George L. Radcliffe (D-Md.) and Rep
resentatives David J. Lewis (D.Md.)
and Jennings Randolph DIV. Va.)
asked the president to allocate money
for the construction of the Savage
river dam in Western Maryland and
for work on a reservoir near Hinton,
w. Va.
Nicely and Randolph joined with the
Marylanders in the request for the
Savage river project. They said the
dam would increase water supplies
in the Potomac river between Pied
mont, W.. Va, and Cumberland, and
permit industrial expansion in that
area.
The Savage river dam would cost
approximately $1,5OO,0OO, and would
be constructed in Garrett county.

SPECIAL SESSION OPENS;
SALES TAX IS ATTACKED
Committee Votes For Unfavor-
able Report To Senate-Nine
Bills Are introduced
1885 LEADERS REELECTED

"A threatened "revolt" in the House
of Delegates smoothed over and all
1885 officers reelected, the Maryland
General Assembly met in special ses-
sion at Annapolis yesterday to begin
consideration of the relief problem.
Both parties adopted resolutions
limiting the session to necessary relief
legislation, legislation to allow COM
pletion of the executive mansion, and
''local measures such as are clearly
remedial and necessary" Leaders
hope to complete the work of the ses-
sion within two weeks.
The Senate Finance Committee last
night voted unanimously to return an
unfavcrable report on the one per-
cent consumers sales tax.
The committees action came within
forty-five minutes of the time it went
into session to consider the measure.
The sales tax was the hub of the re-
lief program recommended by the
special committee named by Governor
Nice.
The committee then went back into
session to consider the eight remain
ing measures embodying the recon-
mendations of the committee common
ly known as the Casey Committee.
The other measures, however, were
said to be useless unless backed by
some form of tax proposal.
Nine Bills Cover Program
The program recommended by the
committee on state policy and revenue
for aid to the needy, headed by W. j.
Casey, Baltimore, designed to raise
the $7,131,667 covering Maryland's
contribution for relief and social
measures between April 1, 1886 and
May 81, 1887, is embodied in nine
bills now before the finance commit
tees of the Senate and House of Dele
gates. Duplicate measures were in
troduced in the House and Senate
| shortly after Governor Nice had COM
pleted reading his message during
which he recommended "the passage
of these bills"
Besides a one percent general con-
sumers' levy the bills would provide
for increase in powers and authority
of the Board of Public Works in re-
spect to relief matters; for modifying
duties and powers of the Board of
State Aid and Charities in correlated
welfare matters; for amending pres
emit old age pension laws to bring into
conformity with Federal regulations;
for extending one percent titling tax,
on automobiles; for repeating present
vocational rehabilitation laws which
limits expenditures by the State to
$4,000, so that the State can partici-
pate further on matching basis
with the Federal government.

EFFORT TO BE MADE TO
ENFORCE DOG ORDINANCE
Commissioners Will Cooperate
With Officials of Towns

A determined effort will be made to
enforce all dog ordinances in the coun-
ty, according to Blaine Giessman,
president of the County Commission
ers.
The Commissioners decided on Tues
day to cooperate with officials of all
towns of the county. Orders are 60
ing out to all constables and other
officials to round up all dogs without
tags or muzzles. If not claimed with
in a reasonable period the dogs are
to be shot. Owners will be able to
reclaim their dogs by promising to
comply with the law.
On account of the danger of mad
dogs running at large the County
Commissioners recently ordered that
all dogs be muzzled for protection of
citizens. The order is not being
obeyed, according to Mr.. Giessman.
Last week mad dog was reported
travelling over the streets of Oakland,
but an investigation by town author
tiles failed to reveal the presence of
any such animal. Within the past few
days mad dog in Allegany county
bit eleven persons before twas killed.
All are now receiving the Pasteur
treatment at Cumberland.
The muzzling order is merely one
of protection, according to the Coun-
ty Commissioners, and it is thought
in this-way all stray dogs will be gath
cred in and disposed of.
