assertion? The fact of the matter is,
that the summer residents are very
much in the minority as owners and
taxpayers. Mr. Beacon said; They
are therefore taxed without repre-
scntation' The property tax OF Mr..
and Mrs Beacon for this year 1916
amounts to 3l20. Did Mr.. and Mrs.
Beacon exercise their right to vote in
the town election held on July 9th, for
he selection of two councilmen?
What more representation does he
want for this tax payment, when he
is no doubt a legal voter in some
ether community?
Mr.. Beacon said; The present
form is antiquated, inadequate and
highly costly, particularly i'll view Of
the fact that no bonds are required

Does Mr. Beacon know
that the Town Charter is practically
similar to charters of other towns in
the State of Maryland and was ap-
proved by the Maryland State Legis-
Iature?
"If Mr.. Beacon had contacted the
Mayor or Council Members he could
have been shown that the Town Clerk
and Town Treasurer are bonded, that
4 strict accounting is kept of all re-
ceiptS and expenditures. that all bills
are paid by check and that the books
are audited annually by an outside
accountant Before proceeding fur
thcr with the work of this group, Mr..
Beacon should learn the procedure
necessary to amend the Town
Charter. Mr. Beacon should know
that the town does not have any
bonded Indebtedness and if such was
incurred, it would eventually have to
be repaid by the taxpayers and prop
erty owners, especially those who
possess more than 5000 worth of
vacant lots. Mr.. Beacon should know
that the maintenance Of the side
walks and appearance of the prop
eIty is the possibility Of the tax
payer and property owner. Mr.. Bea-
com said if needed improvements are
not made. will mean the eventual
elimination of Mt. Lake Park as a

For a group of summer residents to

the winter residents to wonder
whether the intelligence of such a

innovation In
Sandy Spring

The Friends Meeting House in
Sandy Spring was the scene
throughout last week of a Daily
Bible School, held under the SUI
pervision of William Mackensen,
Executive Secretary Of the Balti-

mer that such a program has been
carried out in Sandy Spring.
Mr.. Mackensen and mis- daugh-
ter Judy started the school four
years ago, in the summer of 1913,
visiting five different communities
where they organized and directed
the activities with the help of To-
cal Friends. At that time the
Mackensons Travelled from place
TO place on bicycles. The program
has expanded so as this summer
to include eleven schools, with a
total enrolment of approximately
$50 children, as against five
schools and rs children that first
summer. Visiting leaders assist
Mr.. Mackenson, as well as local
leaders, and there are now two
groups covering the circuit, which
includes Washington and COM
munities in Virginia, Maryland,
Pennsylvania and the middle
West. 4uslr
The girls accompanying NJ.
Mackenson and his daughter in
the group who visited Sandy
Spring last week were Alice Way
of Woodstown, N. j., Glory

Betty Kidd of Fallston, Nd. and
Lulu Trundle of Sandy Spring.
Mrs. Robert H. Miller, Jr. was
chairman Of the Committee of the

Edwards Scouting for Players
To Bolster Crippled Redskins
By Lewis r. Atchison

Still in the race for Eastern pro
Eastern pro football honors but hob
,bled by injuries, the Redskins are in
the market for players to bolster the
team in the stretch drive, it was
reported today.
Officially, there has been no word
from the wigwam, but Coach Turk
Edwards has been porting over re-
serve lists for days and If he can
find the right name in the right
spot he'll try to bargain for the gen.
tlenan. Prexy George Marshall
said it was up to the coach.
Edwards is in complete charge
of personnel" he said. "We always
have been ready to make deals that
would strengthen the Redskins, but
that is the coach's problem, not
mine. If he wants a player we'll
try to get him, but it looks as if all
the good players are permanently
employed for the season and we
certainly don't want to waste time
with anything but the best"
The Tribes latest blow is the per-
manent loss of Sal Rosato, who will
be out until next season because of
a pelvis injury. With Frank Atkins
in the hospital with severe case
of grippe and Jacque jenkins still
nursing torn rib cartilages, the
Skins are in foul way for fullbacks
