Barn Swept By Fire.
4 Horses Burned
High Tension Wires Hinder
Firemen---Traffic Blocked
On Route Forty

The large barn on the property of
the Witaker Iron Company, on Route
40, on the east side of Principle
creek, at Principle Furnace, was
totally destroyed by fire of unde-
termined origin early Wednesday
morning last, together with several
tons of soybean hay and other farm
crops. A tractor, truck and other
farm machinery and implements
stored in the building were also lost
Four horses stabbed in the lower
part of the barn were burned to
death as it was impossible to rescue
the animals.
The fire was discovered by a
passing motorist, who called Charles
Warrington, manager of the farm,
North East, Perryville and Havre de
Grace fire companies were called and
responded, but fearing the pumping
of water on the flames would en-
danger lives by striking the high
tension electric wires of the line that
was directly in front of the burning
structure, the firemen could do moth
ing to save the barn, and directed
their attention to preventing spread
of the flames to nearby property.
Two poles of the Conowingo Power
Company line were burned Off The
wires carrying $500 volts broke,
tying up traffic completely along the
thoroughfare, which is enc of the
busiest in the country.
The loss will reach fully $4,000,
partially covered by insurance.

Flood Forecasting Ser
vice Proposed
SUGGESTIONS OF Conowingo
Power Co. Official Consid-
cred By Weather Bureau

The establishment of Hood fore
casting service under the United
States Weather Bureau, designed TO
afford warning to people living in
watersheds frequently flooded, was
proposed by Robert e. Turner, OF
Conowingo, Md, by an amendment
to the pending $3S4,O00,00O omni-
bus fiood-control bill.
The suggestion for such forecast
service was passed along by Senator
Tydings to the United States Wealth
err Bureau for an expression as to the
feasibility of the proposal
1t was said that if an adequate
flood forecast service had been in
operation last March when the Pc
tomac River flooded Cumberland and
other Western Maryland towns,
property damage might have been
greatly reduced.
Benefits Explained
Mr.. Turner said that such SER
vice could eliminate loss of life, mini
mize property damage and alleviate
the suffering of the people affected,
which should be the only justifica-
ton for food control undertaken
purely from expediency. Oddly
enough" he pointed out, adequate
forecasting facilities are required to
properly operate flood-control pro-
jects.
He also explained that "at the
present flood forecasting is nomi-
nally a function of the Weather Bu-
reau. but the bureau lacks the re-
sponsibility and means to do good
job"
Mr.. Turner explained that the
vital need for food forecasting in
which the great mass of people are
affected comes so frequently that the
service degenerates because OF the
more popular interests demanding
the attention of the Weather Bureau
forecasters.
Would Fix Responsibility
He said his suggestion is to con
slider the regeneration ofsthe forecast
system in the bill, giving undivided
responsibility, together with the
means to promote the work to the
Weather Bureau officer in each
drainage system, to devote his entire
time to this work"
The food forecaster, Mr.. Turner
said. would be responsible solely for
river forecasts in that entire drain
age area.
1.-The practical result should be
that the river forecaster would know
what could happen from his personal
acquaintance with the watershed
and conditions existing in that area. ="
