O'Conor Formally
Cuts Tax Rate

Governor O'Conor issued a formal
proclamation late Tuesday reducing
the Maryland real estate levy for
1912 and 1913 by eight cents, saving
taxpayers $4,000,0OO in the biennium.
The property tax for 1912 will be
fourteen cents per $500 of assessable
property and 1875 cents for 1913
the lowest rate the state has had
since 1861 when the tax was ten cents.
The new levy supersedes the rates
which cut the tax from the previous
rate authorized by the last legis-
ture of 1885 cents to % cents for
1912 and 20.75 cents for 1888

WORK RESUMED
ON WPA ROADS
PROJECTS HERE
More Money Granted to Garrett
COunty-Mrs. Byron and SEN
atOr Friend Do Not Agree

The Works Progress administra-
ton has granted more money to
Garrett county to furnish work
through the winter months for a
number of men who are now without
jobs, it was announced this morning
by the County Commissioners, but the
amount was not specified.
The amount was granted in spite of
a acknowledgements fight between
Congresswoman Katharine Byron and
Senator Clifford Friend, according to
columnist's article in Sunday edi-
tion of Washington newspaper.
AS result fifty-five men went to
work yesterday morning at O'clock
for the County Roads department,
under the direct supervision of
Robert W. Sheckells, county road en-
gineer. Work was begun on the Neil
Friend road, which leads from Bloom
ing Rose to the West Virginia line,
in District No. 2, road recommended
several months ago by Senator Friend
as needing to be built, according to
Cheston H. Browning, county COM
missioner.
Mr.. Browning said these men
would be employed 120 hours per
month. Whether or not WPA office
in the county would be reestablished
later, he was unable to state. He as
sumed that more men would be added
to roads projects as they were certi-
fled through the county welfare
board as needing employment.
The columnist's article which APP
peared in the Sunday Washington
paper gives several interesting side
lights on the situation, and is as fol-
| lows:
La Belle Byron
"a hot behind the-scenes fight is
raging between Congresswoman Kath-
airline Byron and State Senator Clifford
Friend, Republican, of Friendsville,
over the question of WPA relief to
Garrett county.
MRS. Byron, with the help of Sem
ator Radcliffe, had persuaded the
WPA to grant more money to Gar
rett county because of the fact that
this area has had no defense industry.
AS result, unskilled workers would
face a tough winter without WPA
funds.
"To this Senator Friend took vigor-
Gus exception. In a heated exchange
of correspondence with La Belle
Byron, frenzied Senator Friend, who
is up for reelection himself in 1912,
denies that 25 percent of the county's
population faces the winter without
work. He warns that if any more
pap is doled out to those on relief
he will have the scalps of the entire
board of county commissioners to-
gether with the scalp of "a certain
other gentleman"
"The certain other gentleman is
popular Democratic Sheriff Bill
Owens who accompanied the county
commissioners to Washington along
with Mayor Fraley in order to get the
WPA money.
However, Mrs. Byron is convinced
that the county commissioners are
correct. They are supported by Harry
Williar, state WPA administrator
$50 La Belle Byron is standing by
her guns"
The County Commissioners, Mayor
L. M. Fraley of Oakland, the chair
man of the Democratic Committee,
Grover c. Stemple, and J. w. Owens
went to Washington several weeks
ago and presented their case to Con-
gressional representative and urged

This method of using oil on

cause a small nubbin of corn to
form at the top Of the regular

less palatable or lower its market

1t is estimated that one person
can treat from 5000 to 10000
