more poultry. Quartermaster Genera
Gregory aged to accept this recon-
mendation of the Committee and tc

Lookout
Fire Towers
Reopened

In preparation for the fall fire sea-
son, the State Department of Forests
and Parks has opened the forest fire
lookout towers at Woodlawn and
Foy's Hill, in Cecil County. William
] lGdmundson is in the Foy's Hill Tow
er and Harry Hartenstine is operat-
ing the Woodlawn Tower. Both of
these men are experienced lookouts
and are standing by to help keep fire
out of Cecil County woodlands. Being
guided by the scientific measurement
of the forest fire danger, the tower
On "a hour duty for the duration of
the fire season. According to A. r..
Bond, District Forester in Bel Air, Is
percent of the woods fires in the
county last spring were caused by the
careless burning of trash fields,
hedge rows and gardens. To prevent
such fires the Department of Forests
and Parks has established under the
Forest Conservancy Law, common
sense" rules for the safe burning of
infiammable materials near wood
lands and fields Those who plan
burning will do well to subscribe to
these simple precautions from the
law:
The uncontrolled burning of in
hammable material in the open is
prohibited at all times. Persons burn
ing debris within 200 feet of wood
land or fields which might carry fire
to woodland must take these three
precautions at all times. These are
% have a fire line at least 10 feet
wide free of infammable material
around the area to be burned; CD
have sufficient help with tools to
keep fire under control; and CD have
a Waterman on fire until it is out. All
burning during March, Arpil, May
October, November and December
must be done after 400 p. m.
tEST). 1t is pointed out that after
400 D. m. the wind is less likely to
change, the humidity is higher and
it is cooler. Burning under such con-
ditions will go long way in keeping
ali debris burnings under control.
Any inquiries concerning the burn
ing of brush should be directed to
Charles w. Bayles, Forest Supervis-
or, Principle Furnace, or to the Foy's
Hill and Woodlawn Towermen.

Building Funds
Increase OF $5l,92O Is
Necessary For Higher
Construction Costs

Approval has been given by the
Board of Public Works for an in
creased allotment of funds to the
amount of $51,92O to permit imme-
diate construction of the Fire Ex-
tension Building at the University of
Maryland.
Originally, Governor O'Co nor

was allocated for this purpose. When
bids were opened, however, it devel-
oped that increased construction
costs, plus installation of the neces-
sary steam lines, transformers and
electric lights; equipping and fur
nishing the building, and architects
fee would total $159,92O.
In view of the Importance of this
building to the fire training program
OF the entire State, the Board of Pub
lie Works has approved the addition

plete, it will be possible, the Cover
nor announced, to begin work
promptly.
This new Fire Service Extension
Building, to be erected on the
grounds of the University of Mary
lend at College Park, will not only
give Maryland possibly the most up
to-date fire training building in the
entire country but also will supply a
much needed addition to the Uni
versity's fire fighting equipment. Pro-
vision will be made in the new struc-
ture for living quarters for the stu
diets assigned to the operation of the
fire apparatus to be Housed there,
which will be available for "a hour
