NO DECISION Is MADE ON
RAILROAD Line In COUNTY
Hearing Is Continued Until May
s in Washington, d. c., After
All-Day Session Thursday
LINE MAY BE FLOODED

The hearing on the application of
the Baltimore and Ohio to abandon
its Confluence Oakland branch was
continued until May in Washington,
after an all-day session at Cumber-
land last Thursday before Jerome K.
Lyle, an examiner for the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The continuance was allowed to give
the protestants an opportunity to ex-
anime engineers reports submitted by
the government and the Baltimore
and Ohio in regard to the cost of re-
locating fourteen miles of the twenty
mile line. The protestants will also
seek to obtain additional information
on the hoped for relocation.
Line VIII Be Flooded
If the line is to continue, the re-
location is necessary, since all except
six miles of the present roadbed is
due to be flooded when flood control

ment of the branch is the Mccullough
Coal Company, of FriendsviIle, which
is a heavy shipper on the Confluence
Oakland line
Hope Cost Not Too Great
According to Walter w. Dawson
of Oakland' counsel for the coal com
pany, there is a possibility that the
two million dollar figure set as the re-
location cost may be higher than nee
essary.
"The hearing is being continued to
give us an opportunity to check on
this and prepare our own report, "
Dawson said.
Dawson said that one witness for
the railroad admitted at the hearing
that abandoning the line would not
be considered if it were not for the
dam.
Witnesses who appeared were AL

Covell, U. S. Armye district engineer;
and Thomas R. Beerman, railroad
public utility highway secretary with

an awful picture. But substract the
number of people who are cared for by
regular physicians and registered
nurses and practicing nurses, and it
doesn't look SO startling.
Statistics such as are recorded in
the State Health Department tend to
show that public health work and the
work Of practicing physicians here arc
above the average in the state But
the fetching picture of a backWoods
settlement or cabin, the owner per-
haps squatter wearing a coonskin
cap, gets the romantic angle and the
more publicity, even though a rarity
up here. Garrett countians shoul,'
take pleasure in the fact that no city
writer has yet pictured them as wear
ing horns or having wildcats for a
pet.

WPA ACCOMPLISHMENTS
ARE SHOWN In REPORT
District Manager F. w. Springer
Points Out Road Work and Golf
Course as Outstanding
MANY OTHERS ARE LISTED

A report of Works Projects Admin
istration accomplishments in Garrett
county, covering a four and one-half
year period ending January 1, made
public by F. w. Springer, district
manager, points out two projects as
being of special significance, although
many projects were completed.
The one ranking high in public favor
was the construction of the municipal
golf course on the town property
west of the city limits, while the other
one, most important to the citizens Of
the entire county, was the improve
ment of secondary and far o-market
road systems.
The nine-hole golf course was en-
dorsed by the city council and was
completed in 1888.
Approximately So miles of roads
were constructed by WPA during the
period covered by the report, of which
about 81 miles were rural roads. Of
this total, 48 miles are the Glow type"
surface, the remainder "high type" or
permanent surfaced. Native stone was
employed for the base, which varies
from six to eight inches in thickness.
The type of road built has met in all
respects the States specifications for
secondary roads, except where vol
ume of traffic was restricted
Other work done by WPA includes
laying of culverts, construction Of
drainage bitches and the building of
small bridges, usually of wood.
Culverts to the number of 492, with
total length of 1868 feet, have been
built by the WPA in Garrett county IN
the course of the past four and one
half years, Mr.. Springer's analysis
reveals.
Other useful projects completed by
the WPA in Garrett county, according
to Mr.. Springer, include fish hatch
cry with an annual capacity of 100000
fingerlings; construction Of retain
ing walls and revetments totalling
2,706 linear feet, the building of a
sewage treatment plan with a daily
capacity of At gallons, construction of
200 miles of storm and sanitary sew
ers and installation Of sewerage SER
vice connections to the number of 200
A grand total of SOC abandoned mine
openings were sealed, Mr.. Springer
also pointed out.
