Current Comment
On Varied Events
By Times Writers

GTT1 officials and Bonneville
representatives gather al
the city hall Monday afternoon
to discuss possibilities of get.
ting acknowledgement Bon.
neville power for distribution
by the local municipal plant
Meanwhile, the proposal of Ira
Davisson. utilities commits
sioner, for spending $50, 00O
for a survey on possibilities of
developing further hydro-elec-
trio generation lies in abey-
ance.
Ii is conceded that Tacoma
will need more power in an
other year or so. Expanding
use of power is reaching the
point where present facilities
will be inadequate. The ques-
ton then is that of providing
additional power for distribu-
ton to present or new indus
tries.
The federal government has
power to sell. At what price
is the sticker. Can the Bonnie
vile price be made low enough
wholesale to enable the city to
distribute it profitably at
prices that will still be attrac-
tive to industry? If not, then
additional power facilities
must be built by the city.
All avenues should be ex-
plored in the problem. And if
a satisfactory basis with fed
eral officials can be arranged,
then the city should tie in with
the Bonneville setup now and
the Coulee project later. A
grave problem of responsible
ty rests with the city council
to provide the additional power
that soon will be needed.
TT MAY be true as the state
highway patrol points out
that exempt license plates for
use by the police department
and the plates used by the T.
+. & P. buses are shipped out
from the state capital usually
80 days after single car oper-
ators have been forced to get
their licenses.
Meanwhile, individual own
ers are nabbed and fined by
officials for not having their
plates promptly.
1t would be more consistent
# the state saw to it that ex-
empt plates and bus licenses
were delivered ahead of time,
rather than behind, so the av-
erage motorist would not feel
he were being Disseminated
against.
DIVISION in the county COM
missioners' ranks appears
to be growing sharper and
deeper. Recent appointments
at the county farm at Sumner
indicate that John Schlarb,
chairman, is well behind the
eight-ball. He is consistently
outvoted on the appointments.
Take the county hospital,
also. Here a group of physi-
clans and laymen recommend
ed a board be placed in charge
of administration, with doc
tors downtown doing much of
the medical work. Commits
sioner Schlarb agreed, but the
other commissioners, Rankin
and Melton, have refused so
far to take any steps to follow
the recommendation.
And veteran DIR. Burton
Brown, hospital chief, stays on
the job. Too bad that politics
has to enter into the operation
of institutions like the hos
pital.

Oakland Lumber Co.
Is Established Here
New Concern For Manufacture
OF Slaves Buys Manor Timber

The Oakland Lumber Company, a
new concern here that will employ
approximately 70 men when geared
to full capacity, is now operating in
Oakland.
After operating a week, the COM
pany is now employing about twenty
men at the mill and on the timber
tract recently purchased, according to
James Merriken, manager.
The chief operation by the concern
will be the manufacture of slaves,
but other forest products will also be
manufactured, it was stated.
The company recently purchased
certain timber on the Harrington Man
or tract through an arrangement with
the State Forestry Department., and
the probabilities are that the opera
tions by the numbering concern will
last for a period Of five years or pos
sibly longer.
The mill is located along the Balti-
more and Ohio tracks just west Of
town, and near the Washington Spring
crossing where the lumber and slaves
are to be manufactured. The machin-
cry for making slaves has not arrived
as yet but is expected within a few
days.
Mr.. Merriken said the company
would also accept logs from any in
dividual having them for sale, provided
they were the proper kind. Oak tim
Der is used mainly in the manufac-
ture of slaves. Mr.. Merriken has Sc
cured an office in the Garrett National
Bank building.

elementary school children of this
county vii. exhibit their art work
during a special art week, designated
May 10 to II.
These art exhibitions will be held
at Red House, Oakland and Kitzmiller
Exhibits in this proposed display have

ened art program in the county schools

bition will be both educational and
entertaining, Mrs. Wilson said.

HEARING ON ABANDONING
RAILROAD IS POSTPONED
Friendsville Council and Other
Organizations File Protest
Against Proposed Move
WOULD INJURE BUSINESS

The hearing scheduled for Wednes-
day, May 8, before the Interstate Com
merce Commission, Washington, D. c..
relative to the proposed abandonment
of the branch line of the B. and o.
railroad running from Confluence, Pa,
to Kendall Md, has been postponed to
June IL, according to word received by
the Mccullough Coal Corporation AZ
Friendsville.
The postponement resulted from a
request made by Miles and O'Brien,
attorneys for the coal company, it was
understood, so as to give them more
time to prepare data to be submitted
to the commission.
A petition containing hundreds of
names was presented to the mayor and
town council of Friendsville at a
special meeting held last Friday night
in the council room. In view of The
petition the council decided TO send
Merle Frantz, member of the council,
Q. A. Murphy, businessman, and Sena-
tor Clifford Friend to appear before
the commission to vigorously protest
the proposed abandonment Of the rail
service
The Garrett County Commissioners
are likewise planning to protest this
move on the part of the railroad be-
cause of the effect it will have on as
sessed valuation of property in Dist
riot No. 2, it was understood
The Board of Directors of the First
National Bank, Friendsville, passed a
resolution protesting the abandon
donment of the rail service because of
the "far-reaching business and eco
nomic effects it would have on the life
of the community and in turn on the
welfare and progress of this institu-
ton" They have authorized and di-
rected w. j. Glenn, director, to appear
before the commission and present
their case.
