Operating revenues in Septem-

compared with $1,262,126 for the

the report Of operations just filed
with the Maryland Public Service
Commission.
Operating expenses, including

which was $4,000 more than for
the same month last year. Net
income for the month of Septem-

DR.. Symons points out that
prices of commodities and services
used in production of farm pro-
uuct5 i'll 1910 Will probably average
a little higher. The outlook re-
port predicts some rise in wage
rates, higher prices for farm ma
chinery and building materials, and
little rise in prices of most ferti-
Ezer materials. 1t is thought that
prices may be lower for some
seeds, except for shortage for GER
tain crops such as red clover. Feed
prices advanced in September
along with the advance in grain
prices and are now higher than a
year ago. During the remainder of
the 193940 season little change is
expected in feed prices in view of
ample supplies.

DR.. T. 3. SymOns

DR.. Symons cautions Maryland

TALLY increased acreage in the
hope of conditions similar to the

The war, DR.. Symons says, has
been partly responsible for the
sharp increase in industrial activ-

it is probable business activity and
consumer incomes would have
shown some improvement in 1910,
gan at the outbreak of the war.
The outlook report says that sharp
fluctuations are likely to occur in
1910 industrial activity as a result
of uncertainties arising out of the
war and adjustments that will be
necessary following the period OF
inventory accumulation which be-
gan at the outbrea OF the war.

Meanwhile. asserted valuation var

In 1886 ii was s7,32l 900. In 1899

The secondary school tax rate

in 1889 it was IA. However. in the
interval it had varied as low as

$4,000 in 1886 and s9335 900 in

Weakley pointed out that the tax
rate itself is not a fair indication
of expenditures, unless compared
to other factors including variation
in amount of delinquent taxes re-
Cieved.
The l933-37 average was $4,000
a year In 1888 it dropped to $500
and in l939-40 he anticipated $1,000

The drop in delinquent tax re-
ceiptS means an automatic drop in
revenue, he explained, and there
fore has direct bearing upon bud
get plans. If the tax rate is not
raised. economies must be made to
compensate.
Combined valuation OF buildings
in the two school district amounts
to 100000, Weakley estimated. He
pointed out that considerable ex-
pense is involved in their upkeep.
The building situation in the
high school has been difficult. too,

originally was planned for about
half as many students as we now

Desperate Who Leoped
From Train Captured

, SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Aug. 4
A desperate who escaped from a
moving train by fiinging himself
headlong through a window, was
captured early today by Santa
Barbara police.
He was captured only block
and a half from the place where
he made his desperate leap last
night. A posse of 100 officers had
surrounded the northern portion
of the city.
As officers Systematically moved
forward in a narrowing circle, po-
lice heard a rustic in a shade tree
Cautiously they advanced and then
found O'Connell crouching in the
upper branches.
1t was OiConnell's third escape.
The 33-year-old robber and bur-
glar was being returned from Tex
as to Oakland to face trial for a
splurge of holdups and kidnapings
he committed after he fled San
Quentin road camp in June. He had
been sentenced for a series of Los
Angeles crimes for which he was to
serve virtually the rest of his life.
O'Connell was unarmed except
for a cardboard replica of a gun
which he had stuck in his belt. He
surrendered without a struggle,
snarling at officers, You'd never
have got me if l had a gun"
Aside from a few minor cuts,
O'Connell apparently was uninjured
as a result of his leaping through
a double glass window of the train
after he had tossed his coat over
Inspector Marshall's head.
