Hail and Rain Storm Causes
Much Damage To Crops

A severe hail and thunder storm,
bordering on cloudburst, swept over
the Cove section of Garrett county on
last Thursday evening, causing damage
to crops estimated at hundreds of dol
ais. The hail beat down the growing
corn and other crops, while the heavy
rain washed out fields and roadways.
The highway leading from U. S. Route
219 into Friendsville, was flooded and
debris covered the roadbed, stopping
traffic temporarily. Huge rocks were
also washed down into Route PIG on
Cove Hill, making it necessary for the
State Roads Commission to send out a
crew of workmen to clear the way.
The storm conferred in that section
known as Bear Creek Valley. At Oak
land there was only slight rain and
the same condition prevailed in the
Grantsville community.

MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE
TO Be READY OCTOBER |
Eight of Nine Greens Already
Completed And Grass Seed Is
SOwn; Water Piped to Greens
WORK is GOING FORWARD

That Oakland's municipal golf
course would be completed and ready
for play the latter part of September,
was announced this morning by Henry
Tarring, Jr., local WPA administra-
tor. The construction Of the course is
a WPA project and is sponsored by the
Mayor and Town Council.
The construction of eight of the
nine greens is alredy completed and
special grass seed has been sown on
these spots. The last green will be
completed within few day. Already
some of the grass seed has been sown
over the fairways, ie was stated, and
soon the town water farm will take on
an entirely new appearance.
For the past several months work.
men have been engaged in clearing
out brush, laying drain tile and water
pipes and Strengthening the channel of
the stream that runs through the
property.
Mr.. Tarring stated this morning
that practically all the drain tile had
been placed and that there was water
piped to every green on the course.
With proper care it was predicted that
the greens would be in proper shape
for play by the latter part of Septem-
Der.
The golf course is being constructed
at a cost of more than $4,000, Of
which the City Council is furnishing
approximately $4,000.
There are no definite plans yet on
rules and regulations of the course,
or in just what manner the business
will be conducted by the town officials.
In all probability there will be a
charge for year-round Membership, and
green fees for all who do not belong
and who use the course. Town officials
pointed out that the country club
course at Kingwood was kept in opera
ton as paying proposition, and it
was assumed that once completed, the
course here would be no expense to the
town, and might even be source of
revenue.
