GOVERNOR O'CONOR SIGNS
1O4 BILLS ON WEDNESDAY
One Bill Returns S357,254 In
Lateral Gas Tax Funds To
Counties

Governor O'Conor last night signed
104 acts of the 1889 legislature, in
Guiding the Statewide bills returning
$357,254 in gas tax funds to the coun-
ties and reforming the state magis-
trates' system.
The lateral gas tax refund will bene-
fit all counties in the State. Receipts
on the one and one-half percent la
eral gas tax exceeded expectations and
the excess will be returned to the
counties on a pro-rata basis computed
on the ratio county mileage bears to
the States road mileage. Garrett
county will get $18,898.
The Governor also signed H. B. 379
which returns future lateral gas tax
collections to the counties for road
maintenance. The counties ceded their
rights to the State in 1885 and the
present measure returns the setup to
its prior status.
Other bills signed included Bill 306,
permitting Garrett County Commits
sioners to borrow funds at certain
seasons of the year; S. B. 4O5, relat-
ing to expenses of Garrett County
Commissioners; S. B. BOT relating to

GARRETT COUNTY MINERS
PRODUCE COAL IN EXCESS
Local Men Have Steadier Work
Than Those In Allegany

Garrett county miners apparently
had much steadier work than the min
ers of Allegany county during 1888,
according to a preliminary estimate
prepared by the Maryland Bureau of
Mines.
Bureau figures show that 1884 min
ers in Allegany county produced 1885,
153 net tons of coal last year, while
only 644 Garrett county miners pro-
duced 528,534 net tons.
The Allegany county miners aver
aged 661 tons during the year. The
Garrett county miners averaged 821
tons for the same period.
Allegany county mines also en-
ployed 106 drivers, 203 inside laborers
and 1873 outside laborers. Garrett
county mines employed 70 drivers, 10
inside laberers and SO outside en-
ployes during the year.
The fire clay mines of Western
Maryland produced 1886 tons during
1888 and employed 81 miners, 8 driv-
ers, 70 inside laborers and Il outside
laborers.

After 35 Years A Fireman, l.
Placed On Inactive List

Ernest Townshend, after 35 years as
a volunteer fireman in Oakland, was
placed on the inactive list at the recent
meeting of the company.
The Oakland Volunteer Fire Depart
ment has not been organized that
many years, but Mr.. Townshend was a
member of the first group in Oakland
which organized to fight fires in the
community and is charter member
of the present organization, which
has been effective for twelve years or
more.
Being placed on the inactive list
merely means to fireman that he

ture.

LIVESTOCK BEING TESTED
HERE FOR BANG S DISEASE
Departments Aim Is To Make
County A Modified Accred-
tied Area

Plans have been completed and work
already started in the testing of all
livestock in Garrett county for bangs
disease, according to an announce
ment by John H. Carter, county agent,
this morning.
This area was tested about two
years ago, but in order to get the
county listed as a modified accredited
area it is necessary to make another
complete test, Mr.. Carter said
DR.. S. Richman and DR.. George
Green, Jr., veterinarians, are working
at the present time in District No.
and the work will move northward as
progress continues. Five additional
veterinarians are expected to arrive
in the county in day or two to assist
and complete this work as soon as
possible.
Mr.. Carter said that anyone who
had any particular problem to discuss
prior to having their herds tested,
should contact him at his office in the
Court House. 1t was Mr.. Carter's hope
that all farmers would cooperate with
the Livestock Sanitary Service in
making the test. Having the county
listed as modified accredited area for
bangs disease and TB. would raise
the general price level of all livestock
in this area, he said. The county is
already listed as an accredited area
for T,B.

High School Nine Trims Rowles-

Coach Thomas Baucom's Oakland
High baseball tossers, cheered consid-
erably after trimming Rowlesburg
here Thursday 17-3 in a return game
after losing to the West Virginians
10-1, were down in the dumps again,
the result of dropping 5-4 decision to
their county rivals, Kitzmiller, on the
winners field Friday.
Kitzmiller clinched the game in the
first inning when it scored four runs.
In the next frame, Melavic, Kitzmiller
centerielder, hit homer.
Oakland Tailed twice in the third on
Wolfe's triple, hit batsman, single
and two flies, and added two more in
the fourth on another three-bagger,
double and single by the first three

burg as to the date of its return game
resulted in the playing of last Thurs
days battle. The West Virginians,
scheduled to come here yesterday,
showed up nearly a week ahead of
time but Coach Baucom, rather than
disappoint the unexpected visitors,
threw together team and proceeded to
polish them off by 14-run margin.
