HANGOVERS
BY LITTLE HEISKELL

A little bird chirping at City
hall tells US that those varied,
intricate and ambitious con-
struction plans of the former
mayor of Hagerstown may come
to a rather abrupt stop when the
present mayor gets settled in
the saddle. AS matter Of fact,
a number of these projects al
ready started may be carved
down to q minimum. The rea-
son for the rumored change is
the fear Of a higher tax rate
if the spending is continued.

There is no sex equality. Who
ever saw a speed cop out-talked
by a pretty man?
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1939-03-17

1t has long been an open Sc
cret that the large amount of
construction work being done IN
Hagerstown under the admins
tration which started two years
AGO did not meet with the unan-
imous approval of the Council.
Off the record, representatives
of both parties have frowned on
the expenditures, but for one
reason and another, the men,
bers went along. Now that
new Mayor is at the head of the
City Government they are pre-
dieting the next two years will
see a reversal of form as far as
any new projects, requiring
large expenditures of the tax
payers money, is concerned.

Ex-Mayor EIgin has on numer-
Gus occasions stated that these
improvements will not result in
an increased tax rate. The Re-
publicanS on the other hand,
counter with the reply that a
higher tax rate is inevitable.
The definite answer will be
known in June.

a huddle making up the annual
budget. Some of the depart
ments, we are told, are due for
a major operation.
Although EIgin has stepped
down, he apparently is not out
as far as his original program
is concerned, according to sew
eral of his City Hall appointees.
According to reports from this
source he will insist on the con-
tinuation of his original pro-
gram, even though he no longer
is the chief executive. His in
fluence is still "tops" they say,
and point to the fact that it was
"the old boss" who only last
week went to Annapolis with
bill to raise the salaries of the
Mayor and members of the City
Council. And, they continue, he
will see to it that henceforth
all Mayors will be selected in a
direct primary and not by con-
vention as has been the custom
for many, many years. Yep, the
lads who think the former
mayor is dead issue at City
Hall have another guess coming
to 'en.
However, the present admins
tration will make certain that
their accomplishments will not
become confused with those i'm
provements made during the
first two years Of the Democra-
tic rule. 1t just wouldn't be good
clean politics to claim credit for
everything! Or would It?
