.LOUNGING
WITH THE


Annapolis, Feb. 8, 1899.
! With one-third of the legislative SEES
sion gone, and all major legislation
still pending, members of the General
Assembly are back in Annapolis where
they have adopted a day-week
schedule.
Object of this schedule-unprece-
dented, if actually adhered tbs the
passage of some major bills before the
closing days of the session. Heretofore
the Assembly has always dallied until
the last few days, so that much impor-
tant legislation was caught in the ira
ditional closing jam.
Still pending before the Assembly
are:-
The Administration reorganization
measures;
The special taxation pragrom de-
signed to raise S17,OOO,O0O during the
biennium;
The budget;
Conservation.
The only bill affecting Garrett coun-
ty directly is the new tax bill which
has been introduced by Senator Cliff
ford Friend. The bill requires the
County Commissioners to fix the rate
of county taxation on or before the
fifteenth day of January, instead Of
the first day of February as in the
present law. 1t also makes all county
taxes due and payable on the first day
of February, instead of April, and
taxes shall be overdue and in arrears
on the first day of the succeeding No
vember instead of October. A discount
of three per cent will be allowed on all
taxes paid during the months of Feb
ruary and March and on all taxes paid
before May 31st discount of two per
cent, while those paid during June and
July will receive a discount of one per
cent. This bill is apparently favored
by all members of the county delega-
ton and the prediction is made that it
will pass after several minor changes
all of which will give the taxpayer a
break, have been made.
Several bills concerning the town Of
Oakland will be introduced in the near
future and the bill dealing with local
elections will be passed at an early
date.
l understand that Governor O'Conor
has taken an interest in the affairs of
the office of the County Commission
ers of Garrett county.
Don't be surprised if the Governor
takes an active interest in the affairs
of the county. Failure to provide funds
for schools under construction and a
definite amount for debt service might
be more serious than most Garrett
countians think. The political front in
Oakland will probably be more inter
esting during the next few weeks than
the scene at Annapolis, but we will
stick to our guns and let Scoop cover
the home battles.
During the weekend recess of the
Legislature, Governor O'Conor an
nounced three important appoint
ments. John E. Semmes succeeds Chas.
Delmar on the board of regents of the
University of Maryland, while DR.. NJ.
C. Pincoffs takes the place of the late
DR.. Joseph l. France on the State
Board of Health. Joseph Sherbow,
close adviser to the Governor during
his campaign and one of his strate-
gists, was selected to be Peoples
Counsel to the Public Service Com
mission.
Last minute flashes from the SEN
ate:
Favorable action was recorded to-
day by the State Senate on a proposal
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1939-02-09


to amend the Constitution and elimi-
nate the Clerk of the Court of Appeals
from the list of elective offices of the
State.
A resolution urging an additional
budget appropriation of $4,000 to
provide representation for Maryland
at the New York World Fair was also
adopted by the Senate.
Let's get in on the ground floor,
Garrett county, and those of you who
are interested in advertising our beau
tiful domain. What section of Mary
land could be better publicized than
ours?

hundred to get community
center which is so greatly needed
for public purposes.
The public should not let this
opportunity slip through their
fingers.

COMMUNITY BUILDING
is MUCH NEEDED

An adequate community build,
ing is within reach of the citi-
zens of Oakland, if they so wish
it. They may have it by voting
favorably at the special election
tomorrow, which will authorize
the town to issue bonds to obtain
the money for its share of the
expense Of such building.
If the citizens permit this OPP
portunity to slip by, there will
not be a like opportunity to have
a community building again for
many years, perhaps never, and
many people fully realize that
such a building is needed.
Parents should realize what a
community building will do for
the youth of the community.
Those connected with civic or
carnations should realize what
a community building would do
for them.
Other citizens should realize
what benefit it would bring the
town.
A community building would
make available many forms of
recreation for the youth: basket
ball, roller skating, ping pong
and many other indoor games.
1t would be available for many,
not just a few.
1t would afford civic organiza-
tions a place to meet and conduct
civic affairs, plays, mass meet
ings, etc. 1t would have given the
knights of Pythias ample space
for their anniversary celebra-
tion.
For the community it would
give an appropriate meeting
place for conventions that would
be glad to come to Oakland, if
there was an auditorium large
enough to accommodate the del
egates in their business sessions.
This would also add to Oakland's
popularity as a place for summer
gatherings.
1t would properly house the
Fire Department, which is so
vital in affecting insurance rates
on all property in Oakland.
A community building could
be of good to every person in the
town who wants to receive any
benefit from it.
Every individual knows Of
other things for which a COM
munity building would be Of in
estimable value.
Every voter should realize
what it is going to cost each in
dividual taxpayer. The building
will cost about $4,000, of which
the Federal Government will
furnish $51, 900, according to a
WPA project, already approved.
This leaves about $4,000 for the
town to furnish.
Some members of the Fire De-
partment have stated they will
help to raise money to pay such
bonds as would be issued, so that
in the event the voters are favor
able in tomorrow's balloting, the
result is not anticipated to cost
the local taxpayers anything adj
ditional.
The Fire Department receives
annually $1,000 from the town
treasury and $500 from the
county, and it is planned to use
these amounts in repaying the
debt. The present community
building, it is thought, could be
sold for at least $4,000, thus re-
ducing the Indebtedness 20 per
cent. t'.
Therefore, from the appear
ance of present plans, and there
is no reason to believe that pres
ent plans will be altered, a COM
munity building is available at
no increase in municipal taxes.
Here is one instance of a large
Federal grant that does not bog
down the sponsor with additional
debt, and it is the belief of The
Republican that we should take
advantage of it while the offer
is available.
1t is the towns one chance in

1rlendS that I've mace OF fellows
like your self.
From Talbot Patrick, publisher of
the Goldsboro News-Argus, and re-
firing president of the North Caro-
lima Press Association:
You gentlemen and those who have
helped you have record of remark
able achievement in giving Hender-
son people and those Of the sur
rounding area the newspaper that
you have during the past ten years.
l pick out this period in particular
because it is not only the one in
which I have been familiar with The
Daily Dispatch, but also one which
has been extremely hard on almost
all kinds Of business enterprise
You have very evidently made far
more than a business enterprise of
the Dispatch. In the handling of news
it has seemed to me, that you have
given prominence on your front page
to those matters which were sig
nificant, which were of Importance
in the life of. the people and for; the
future
By the mere measure Of bulk, you
have set a mark that few smaller city
papers could equal. in maintaining
minimum of eight pages for every
issue. Only men and women who
know the inside Of newspaper pro-
duction can realize what an achieve
ment this must have been on YOUR
part.
A history Of twenty-five years un-
doubtedly sets up the Dispatch as one
of the oldest businesses of Hender-
son. 1 hope that the next twenty
five years may find both the COM
munity and the paper growing and1
enjoying brighter life than some
of the past twenty-five years have
provided.
From James F. Reynolds, manag-
ing editor, the Greensboro Daily
News and Greensboro Record:
1t is interesting to learn that the
Henderson Daily Dispatch is soon to
celebrate its 25th anniversary, and
| am taking this occasion to con-
graduate you and your very excel
lent newspaper on rounding out your
first quarter of a century.
It took a lot of fortitude to launch
daily newspaper 251 years ago.
even as now. 1t has required lot
of hard work and personal sacrifice,
no doubt, to keep the ship on
straight course during the many
hectic years that have intervened.
But, knowing you as I do, it is not
surprising that The Daily Dispatch
has survived the turmoil of the times,
for you had the fortitude to under
take it and the faith in your objec-
tive to pursue it.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-08-31


From J. F.. Dowd, editor Of The
Charlotte News:
Every day most of the newspapers
published in North Carolina come to
my desk. In looking over these
papers, | have formed an acquain-
tance with them and an opinion OF
them.
Most of them are, l take it, typical
OF the communities in which they
are published. They reflect the in
terests, both economic and civic, OF
the cities and towns they serve, anG
to me the smaller papers have an
obvious closer contact with their
readers, and their readers with them
than do the bigger dailes.
| congratulate you upon celebSat-
ing a tWenty-fifth anniversary in Sc
pleasant place as Henderson, and ]
congratulate the community upon
having SO responsive a daily work
ing in its behalf.
From Reid Monfort, chief of the
Carollnas Associated Press Bureau a.
Charlotte:
1t is a ripe pleasure, indeed, to
congratulate the able Henderson Dis
patch on its tWenty-fifth anniver.
sary The paper itself is shining
tribute both to the resourcefulness O:
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-08-31

Such qualities. as these, combined
with the progressive spirit OF such
growing community as Henderson,
could not do other than succeed.
Your celebration of your 25th an
niversary serves to remind, also, of
the speedy flight of time. 1t is to me
almost inconceivable that a quarter
of a century has passed since we
worked together in Raleigh. Yet the
calendar does not leland lot of
water has passed under the bridge
and perhaps some over it, since then.
| am hoping for you and your good
newspaper untold years to come.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-08-31

general manager of the Herald-Sun
papers in Durham:
It occurs to me that The Hender-
son Daily Dispatch has just attained
it's 25th birthday, and | know that
the Dispatch family must be expert
encing a great deal of JOY in the
knowledge of a quarter-century OF
unremitting service to a progressive
and prosperous section OF North
Carolina.
There are newspapers, and other
newspapers, but all of us like to feel
that all Of our newspapers are vital
part of our democratic system, cour-
ageously informing the people,
whether the news be pleasant or un-
pleasant, and braveiy speaking hon
est opinions on affairs which touch
the lives and liberties Of our North
Carolina people. However, it has ap-
peared to me that the Henderson Dis
patch has ever been especially So.
licitous of the interests Of Henderson
and the area which Henderson
serves.
The Dispatch is rendering an in
valuable, effective service to its COM
munity, providing an alert and ade-
quate newspaper and offering. sound
advice and leadership. May your
fruitful 25 years be but the founda-
ton for greater and broader in
fluence for public good.
From J. L. Horne, publisher of the
Rocky Mount Evening Telegram:
1t seems to me that some time in
the not far distant future you fell
lows will be rounding out 25 years
of the publication of a daily news
paper in Henderson, and | want to
congratulate you and to join with
those who will remind you of the
days Of the late P. T. Way, R. S. Nc
Coin, and others VINO dreamed the
dream ahead of you and who char
tered the course that you and others
have so ably followed. There should
be a sense of deep satisfaction in
your heart as to the type of daily
newspaper which you have given
that community down through these
years, and nobody needs to remind
you that it has been in the forefront
Of things progressive in Vance
county. l have enjoyed watching the
growth of your newspaper and your
good city and I make my best bow
on this your 25th birthday. 1t Ger
tainly doesn't seem that long to me,
as l hearken back to the days when
as a junior at Trinity College, now
Duke University, I gave you a sum-
mer time job on our publication.
AS we turn our faces towards the
sunset of life, one Of the most
cherishing things Of all is the good
friends that I've made Of fellows
like your self.
