Case, of Wrangell crease in otter trawling in Alaska waters and the prospect of further development in this fishery, the Fish and Wildlife Service has "giv- en consideration to prOmulgating regulations governing the use of otter trawl gear"
 Day said that there is consider able difference Of opinion as to whether otter trawling is destruc- tive and that little is known as O the truth of these conflicting re- ports and so the Service has draft ed tenative minimum regulations with. the primary purpose of util- izing these regulations as a means .Of securing information upon tha effects of otter trawling."
 Day explained further that the Service did not wish to impose any unnecessarily burdensome require ments upon operators of trawling gear. but also did not wish to per init the unregulated development of a new fishery which might be destructive.
 He said the Service awaited any expression or suggestion as to the changes made. The new regulations are as follows.
 Sec. 201.15 is hereby amended tc read as follows:

Elizabeth Town

Here are some interesting facts
concerning the naming of Hagers-
town.
Jonathan Hagar, it seems, gave it
the name of Elizabeth-Town after
his wife Elizabeth, and it was ap-
parently legally known by that name
until 1918. Some people, however,
thought of it as Hagar's Town, even
as early as ITO.
In 1776 Captain William Heyser,
who was at the American camp in
Philadelphia, received a letter from
his son, dated 'Hagar's Town, Oct.
IL, 1776." Hart & Rochester, makers
of mails, brads, and sprigs," when
advertising in 1890, used the name
Hagar's-Town. The Washington
Spy" printed in 1890 by Stewart
Herbert, used both names in this
way, Elizabeth (Hager's) Town."
thus allowing the people to choose
which name they preferred
DIdIG laws HleIlllOIl II DIS G1LdDGIl
Town In 1888 a law was passed,
known as "an act to establish a mar
ket house in Elizabeth Town." in
1871 commissioners were appointed
and Incorporated in Elizabeth Town,
and the same name was used in
other laws passed in 1892, 1893, and
1894. On March 81, 1902, we find
the Herald and Advertiser" using
both names - elizabeth (Hager's)
Town, Maryland.)"
Two laws in 1902 used Elizabeth
Town, but in 1904, for the first time,
one mentions Hager's Town. In 1907
it was twice written Elizabeth Town
and twice Hager's-Town, and just
to make things more confusing, there
was mention of establishing the 'Ha-
ger's-Town Bank at Elizabeth-Town."
Both names were used in laws until,
in 1918, by act of the legislature, the
name was changed to Hager's Town.
1929 seems to be the first record,
/ can find where the name is used as
it is today, Hagerstown.

county seat. This was to be decided
by the eligible voters of the new
county.
Elizabeth Town was selected as
the place for holding the polls, which
rather indicated this would be the
proper place for the county seat. The
only other entrant for the honor was
Jerusalem, now known as Funks-
town.
Mr.. Funk went to work getting
signers in order to have Funkstown
named, but the influence of promi-
nent citizens like Gen. Daniel Hest

days This election played a great
part in the future of these two
towns-then about the same size-as
well as the whole county, for if the
election had favored Jerusalem, to-
day Funkstown would be the city
and Hagerstown the village.

Early NEWSPAPERS

The first newspaper published in
the County was the Washington
Spy" the first issue appearing in
July, 1890. Stewart Herbert was the
editor and a subscription was Is
shillings per year. Newspapers were
rare in those days and most of the
people in Washington County had
never seen one.
Herbert died in April ,1795, but his
wife, Phoebe Hart, continued the pa
per with the help of John d. Carey
until March 20, 1876.
Later Mrs Hart married Scotch
man, Thomas Greeves, a Professor of
Mathematics. Professor Greeves had
opened night school about Jan. l.,
1876, but after his marriage he gave
up teaching and became editor of
the Washington Spy.
The paper, however, failed to pay
expenses and the last copy was
printed January IS, 1897. Mr..
Greeves later started the Maryland
Herald" and was its editor for more
than twenty years.
There were a few other papers
started about this time, one of them
being the Herald and Advertiser. +"
In 1902 Richard Williams established
the farmers Repository" but it
didn't last long 1.-THE Gazette" was
published in 1909 by William Nc
Pherrin and lasted until 1918. In
1914 another paper, "The Torch
Light" was started, with William d.
Bell as editor.
The Maryland Herald was publish
ed until 1924, when it was bought
by DR.. John Reynolds and trans
ferred to Mr.. Bell the owner of the
Torch Light. The Herald, as such,
was then discontinued.

September 6, 1776, is the birth date

county just two months and two days
younger than the State itself.
At the first State Convention, held

four delegates, with the exception of
Frederick, which sent twelve. At
that time Frederick County included
what are now Frederick County,
Montgomery County and Washington

The convention ordered that new
county be made from the territory
west of South Mountain, and that it
be named for the great Commander
in-Chief, George Washington.
