The summer home of Henry Reith-
miller, near Altamont, was robbed last
Friday evening of household furnish
ings, including lamps, silverware, lin
ems, dishes and other articles.
County officers were notified and a

EX-SENATOR BEALL GIVEN
ROAD BOARDAPPOINTMENT
AlIegany Countian l9ut on Com
mission to Fill Vacancy Created
By Death of Nice Wilkinson
WELL KNOWN IN GARRETT

Governor Nice on Monday ANNOUNCE
ed the appointment of former Senator
J. Glenn Beall, of Frostburg, to the
State Roads Commission to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of G..
Nice Wilkinson, of Cumberland.
The announcement stated:
Senator Beall is a high type, and
an outstanding citizen of the State of
Maryland. He served in the Maryland
Senate as a representative from Ale
gany county during the sessions from
1880 to 1884. He was selected twice by
the citizens of Allegany county to the
board of local road directors, in 1928
and 1926, serving as chairman for
three years and during that time more
hard surface roads were built in that
county than during any other period.
Served On Committees
GAS a Senator, he served on the
Roads and Highways Committee, as
well as being a member of the Senate
Finance Committee.
"The roads commission for Allie
gany county was abolished in 1881,
when the Legislature placed county
roads partly under State control. He
had had, therefore, very intimate
and practical knowledge of road build
ing and | am convinced he will bring
to the State Roads Commission a seas
oned judgment and conscientious de-
votion to duty.
County Represented
"Allegany county has been repre-
scented on the State Roads Commission
since the commission was created,
having had as members Andrew Ram
sey, of Mount Savage; G. Clinton Uhl,
w. w. Brown and C. Nice Wilkinson.
The county is therefore entitled to a
continued representation and especi-
ally in vie wof the fact that next year
the commission must be divided, one
from Western Maryland, one from
Baltimore City and one from the East
ern Shore"
Senator Beall is married and has
three sons. He is a Republican, a
member of the American Legion and
the Protestant Episcopal church. He
is well known to the people of Garrett
county, and his appointment will no
doubt meet with the favor of most
everyone in this section.

GAS TANK EXPLODES AND
CAUSES DISASTROUS FIRE
Ernest Townshend, Jr., Serious
ly Burned In Blaze At Garage
Of Sharps Motor Company
TWO OTHER FIRES OCCUR

Two men were burned, one
seriously and the other painful
ly, on Monday afternoon when
gasoline tank in the repair shop
of the Sharps Motor Company's
garage on Third street, explod-
ed, setting fire to the building
and destroying four automobiles
on the floor of the shop. Damage
was estimated at $4,000 or more.
Ernest Townshend, Jr., mechanic
employed by the Sharps concern, was
seriously burned about his face, hands
and legs when the exploding liquid
spattered over him setting his cloth
ing on fire. Townshend attempted to
escape the flames by running to the
outside of the building. AS he passed
Claude Friend, another mechanic en-
ployed in the shop, Friend doused him
with a tub of water, quenching the
fire consuming his clothing.
Edwin Michael, another mechanic,
who was engaged in another part of
the building, suffered burns about his
face and was near exhaustion, hav-
ing stayed in the structure until the
flames had been eXtinguished by the
local fire company.
While the building was badly dam
aged by the fire, some parts of it,
through the efforts of the local fire
men, and saved almost intact. AS the
fremen worked to get the blaze under
control, a number of volunteers en-
tered the two wings of the garage and
were able to roll to safety fifteen or
more automobiles, several of them be-
ing new or of late design. The blaze
was difficult to fight as the structure
was made of wood and dense clouds of
smoke arose from the roof, made of
composition, when the flames finally
got into the roof timbers. The loss is
said to have been covered by insur-
ance.
A temporary office has been set up
in the showroom, which escaped seri-
Gus damage, where business is being
conducted.
1t was a day of activity for the
Oakland Fire Department. No sooner
had the garage fire been brought I'M
der control than second alarm was
turned in from the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Paul Dewitt, just north of town.
A grass fire was getting out of control
but this was quickly extinguished by
members of the department.
The firemen were called again at
six o'clock to put out blaze at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Kirk Cosner,
on Third street and south of the Little
Yough River. A grass fire had spread
to the home and the blaze had COM
municated itself in the frame work
between the Notwithstanding and the
studding. The fremen soon located the
source of the fire and put out the
flames. 1t was necessary, however, be-
fore this was done, to remove a por-
ton of the outside of the structure.
The damage resultant was compare
lively light.

ONE-TEACHER SCHOOLS IN
STATE ARE DISAPPEARING
State Superintendent Says Units
Have Been Reduced Three
FOurthS

The steady march of school CONSOLE
cations in Maryland has reduced the
number of one-teacher schools by
more than three-fourths in the last
eighteen years, DR.. Albert S. Cook
State Superintendent of Schools, re-
ported.
DR.. Cook made public figures show
ing that there We're 283 one-teacher
schools when the present school year
began, as compared with LII in
1920.
Lower Cost Claimed
There were 1888 white pupils in
one-teacher schools during the 1886
81 school year, which was IA per
cent of the total white elementary
enrolment. DR.. Cook said the con-
solidation of schools, even though it
involved the expense Of transporting
pupils by bus, has brought lowering
in the per pupil cost of instruction.
1t costs $52.41 per year to instruct
the average county pupil in a one
room school, as against $47.20 jim
graded county schools.
Garrett county still has the most
one-room schools, with a total of
fifty-six. Washington county has
thirty-six. Baltimore and Caroline
counties have no one-teacher schools.
Anne Arundel and Calvert have one
each.
