O'Conor Explains
Soldier Vote Law

Maryland's new soldier vote law
authorizes the use of supplementary
federal ballots, Governor O'Conor in
formed President Roosevelt in answer
to the chief executives inquiry.
In telegram to the President, the
Governor explained that the new law
mot only permits counting of soldier
votes if cast in accordance with the
act Of Congress. but also validates a
federal application for ballots by
service forces and authorizes the state
to use information on the federal bal
lot for purposes of registration Of
soldiers and sailors"
The Maryland law, adopted at the
special legislative session last week,
"is in accordance with the joint
memorandum of Secretaries Stimson
and Knox and conforms to the bulletin
of the Council of State governments"
O'Conor's message said.
Everything possible at state level
to insure the widest participation Of
service forces is incorporated in our
statute thus maintaining state SOW
ercignty.'

Potato Supply Is
Well Above Normal

From all appearances the potato
supply in this area this spring is we'll
above normal, according to those at
tending the weekly sales at Accident
and Terra Alta, and according to
Emcric Dusic, manager of a produce
company here.
The situation in regard to the po-
tatoes is reversed from last year at
this time when potatoes were scarce.
Throughout the entire country the
civilian food supply for the next few
months appears to be more abundant
than for the same period last year, the
Department of Agriculture has re-
ported. Potatoes and cabbage head the
list, but there are others, including
carrots, beets, spinach, some fruits,
etc.
Mr.. Dusic already has received a
carload Of seed potatoes, and there are
always large number of farmers
who have seed potatoes for sale. If
some of the potatoes could be changed
to onion sets, the victory gardeners
and farmers would he all for it, it
seems.

Jaycees Mark Time
Until After the War

The few members of the Oakland
Junior Chamber of Commerce who
still remain in Oakland have declared
their organization "frozen" for the
duration Of the war.
To date there are Al members scrv-
ing their country in the armed forces.
Virgil B. Kelley, present president,
who is soon to leave for the army, said
that after the wal reorganization
would be effected by Charles L. Brin-
er, Jr,, former president, now with
the Red Cross in the South Pacific
vice-president Emcric Dusic, and
himself.
He said the freezing" action was
deemed advisable by the few remain
ing members since the organization
had been greatly crippled by the seIec-
tive service regulations.

Auto Assessment
Schedule Will Be
Changed In 1915
State Tax Commission Reyises
Rates-Says Old Depreciation
Schedule Is Obsolete

Concluding that the present sched-
ule of depreciation for the assessment
Of motor vehicles was obsolete and in
need of revision the State Tax Com
mission, at a meeting on March 8,
adopted a revised schedule to be
come effective beginning with the
taxable year Of 1915. the County
Commissioners of Garrett county
have been informed.
The revised schedule is as follows:
First year IS percent, second year
60 percent, third year IS percent,
fourth year IS percent, fifth year %
percent, sixth year Is percent, seventh
year 10 percent, eighth year per
cent, or not less than 500.
The Commission has requested that
beginning with the year 1915 the
schedule of depreciation for automo-
biles be adopted and that notice of
the assessment be mailed to each tax
payer as required by Article 81. Sec
ton "a, of the Code
The Commission declared it recog-
nized that because of war conditions
and restrictions the present high
market value of second hand cars
was inflationary and should be dis
regarded in fixing fair schedule of
depreciation.
The application Of the new schedule
will produce some increased assess
ment over the old, but it was pointed
out that the increase was not drastic.
Examples were shown in chart ac-
companying the letter to the commits
sioners For instance a 1910 model
Ford cost 1852, the 1944 assessment
would be $50, the old rate in 1915
would be 500 but under the new rate
it would be $3.50. Nearly the same APP
plies for Pontiac, Chevrolet, Ply
mouth. For a Packard costing $1,6l4
the 1914 assessment is 1925, the 1915
assessment at the old rate $16O, but
under the new rate $4O5. Similar
raises are noted for Chryslers and
Bucks
The new schedule does not affect
payment of automobile taxes during
1914. Auto taxes to be paid this year
are for the year 1943 and will be at
the rate of 1888 per 500 of assess
ment plus .13 cents per 500 for state
tax.
The schedule Of depreciation now
being followed by the county is 65
percent for the first year, As percent
for second, 80 percent for third, 20
percent for fourth, and 10 percent
for fifth.

Full Gospel Church
Burns At Deer Park
Entirely Destroyed BY Fire Sun
day Morning Along With Par
sOnage Attached to Rear

The Full Gospel church at Deer
Park, along with the parsonage at
tached to the rear of the building,
and practically all of its contents,
were entirely destroyed by fire on
Sunday morning, shortly before the
regular Sunday School service was
scheduled.
Fire apparently caught from an
overheated furnace and spread rapid
ly, enveloping the front of the audi
forum before the pastor, Rev George
S. Ross, noticed smoke coming under
the door leading to the parsonage
The alarm was given and frantic
efforts were made by neighbors to
get the flames under control The
Oakland Fire department was called
but lack of a water supply prevented
the firemen from doing any effective
work.
When it was seen that the build
ing would be consumed people turned
their attention to the parsonage but
by this time the flames had reached
there also and only the stove, electric
refrigerator, studio couch and a few
personal belongings were saved.
The church was completed in
September, 1910. Rev Ross estimated
the loss, including personal belong
ings, would amount to around $1,000,
with $1,000 worth of insurance on the
church, and $500 on the parsonage.
Rev and Mrs. Ross are living with
neighbors until more permanent ar
rangements can be made. They are
now located at the home of German
BOWScr.
He announced that church services
would be continued temporarily at the
home Of Walter Friend with morn
ing worship at 1915; Sunday School
at 80 p. M, and evening worship at
8 o'clock; mid-week service Wednes-
day at p. m.

men be allowed to play golf for %
