County Commissioners Expect
to Complete Levy on Friday

The County Commissioners an
nounced yesterday they were not
ready to close the levy yet, or to an
nounce the tax rate for 1941. They
don't expect to complete the budget
until Friday, January 10, the deadline.
1t was estimated that the rate
would run practically the same as last
year, which was $1.30 on each $500 of
assessable property, but whether it
would be slightly less or slightly more
could not be ascertained.
1t was pointed out that the assess
able basis of the county this year
would be less than last year, because
of some losses sustained which had
been greater than the gains in assess
ment. Also there were some items in
the levy that legislation had made
mandatory.
The commissioners had before them
during the week quite a number of
delegations from all over the county
concerning the condition of roads.
Tomorrow patrons of the Elemen-
tary school are to go before the Com
missioners to urge the acquisition of
the adjoining property for a play
ground.

Appoints Receivers
For Mining Company
Judge Grants Petition of Cred
itOr Who Contends Firm
Is InSOlvent

Chief Judge D. Lindley Sloan Sat-
urday in Circuit Court of Allegany
County granted the petition of Mrs.
Eutelka S. Somerville to place the
Moscow-George's Greek Mining Com
pany in receivership for the protection
Of creditors. The court named Mrs.
Somerville and Samuel T. Walker re-
ceivers and both posted $1,000 bond.
William II. Geppert, attorney for
the petitioner, cited that the company
has owed her 1852 since February
Is, 1886, and is also Indebted to other
persons and firms, and unable to pay
them. William A. Gunter, counsel for
the firm, consented to the receiver
ship.
The mining company, with offices
at Homecoming, was incorporated in
May, 1902, and operated two mines in
Allegany and Garrett counties. The
attorney cited that the company
started losing money during the re-
cent general business depression" and
it was necessary to cease operations
in 1897, because the firm was unable
to pay taxes, wages to employees and
money due the state accident insur-
ance fund.

The New Year National Defense
Needs

Getting the skilled men needed for
national defense jobs continues to be
one of the greatest problems of the
new year for the Civil Service Com
mission. Thousands were appointed
during 1910 but thousands more are
going to be needed during the coming
year at the arsenals and navy yards
and in the air service. Toolmakers, in
strument makers and machinists are
especially in demand, and they are
especially necessary to the national
defense program. Among others also
urgently needed are: Aircraft instru-
ment mechanics; aircraft mechanics;
metalsmiths (aviation), coppersmiths,
lens, grinders, loftsmen, ordnancemen
(torpedoes), shipfitters and ironwork-
ers (shipfitting duty. Anyone skilled
in any of these trades, and wanting a
government job, write to or call for
information at the office of the Board
of U. S. Civil Service Examiners at
any first OF second class post office

At Meeting Saturday
Farmers of Area to Be Asked to
Recommend Kind of Pro-
gram Desired

For the purpose of discussing the
kind of program and administrative
procedure desirable in the Potomac

and number of conferences have
already been held by specialists from
Washington and state representatives.
The program to be carried out will
be designed to best serve the people
and conserve natural resources in the
area, it has been stated, and for this
reason those in charge wish to get the
opinions of people living in that sec
ton.
Mr. Carter notified number of
farmers by letter of the meeting, but
the conference is not limited to those
receiving the letters. Anyone inter
ested in the question is entitled to
participate.
Some Of the things to be discussed
at other meetings and which will
probably be brought up at this meet
ing Saturday, will be the kind of for
estry management practices desirable
in this county; whether or not regu-
lations should be enforced on skidding
or logging straight down hills; regu-
lations governing cutting of mine
props and mill timber; possible pay
ments to farmers or timber owners
carrying out recommended fire and
flood control forestry management;
whether or not more dams are prac-
teal; what type of government super
vision, if any, should be inaugurated
in the Potomac watershed area, and
others.

really resident Of West Virginia, his
home being in Leadmine, and that he

State Employment Office, located in
the McIntire Building, placed 423 per-

CITY REGISTRATION IS
SCHEDULED JANUARY Il
City Council Has Uneventful
Session Monday; Names Regis
tration Officers; Hears Reports

Other than appointing two registra-
ton officers to be in charge of the
registration of voters in Oakland, the
Mayor and Council, at their regular
monthly meeting Monday evening,

journed.
Lewis Jones and Miss Margaret
Lawton were appointed registration
officers. The registration will occur

At the present time there are only

qualified at one of the three former
registration days held prior to the
election last year.
The registration of voters in Oak
land is now required by an Act of the
Legislature, passed in 1889. Previous
to that time there was no conclusive
way Of knowing whether a person was
entitled to vote in the municipality
or was disqualified. 1t is estimated that
there are about 800 persons en-
titled to vote if they are properly reg
istered.
Collections Good
The clerk-collector's report showed
that collections since the past March
l had been unusually good, a total of
33,330.86 having been received. Ex-
penses to November 30 had amounted
to $31 ,069.31. December bills approved
for payment totaled $1,760.56, and this
left cash balance on hand January l
of $1,265.22.
Collections during December totaled
$2,105.96. Of this amount $527.11 was
from water collections; $784.64 from
taxes; $4,000 from the West Mary
land Power Company for coupons, and
S113 from the State Income tax. The
theatre tax amounted to $76.95 dur
ing December and this was divided
according to law among the Red
Cross, so per cent; the Fire Depart
ment and Oakland Library, 25 per cent
each.
The lease with the Carnation Com
pany for the right f-way for the
towns main sewer line through the
corporations property was accepted
and signed.
Council decided to place a light
in the alleyway in the rear of the new
postoffice building.
Council is endeavoring to arrange
meeting here on January Is with the
architects who drew the plans for
the Community building, which has
not yet received the final okey by WPA
authorities in Washington.
