The measure authorizing the COun-
ty Commissioners to borrow up to one
and one-half million dollars for the
construction and repair of school
buildings was introduced in the Mary
land Senate last night by Senator l..

clared a bill sponsored by the admins

Sunshine of the past two days was
doing in slow manner, but free of
charge, what it cost the county $25,-
600 or more to do during the past two
weeks
With Garrett county's most severe
storm of a number of years now past
history, workmen were still engaged
in trying to get all state and county
roads open. J. Edward Helbig, presi-
dent of the County Commissioners
who estimated that the snow removal
would cost the county at least $25,000
expressed his deep appreciation to the
farmers and others for their help, co.
operation and patience during the past
two weeks or more Farmers who haC
to get to market, got cut with shovelS
and spent hours in helping the regular
workmen. Oakland's clerk-collectol
said snow removal would cost the
town $500 to $500
Forty or more farmers in the
Meadow Mountain section opened the
road to the cemetery in time for The
funeral services G. oIIs ALI. Lohr.
State roads crews continued t.
widen the paths between the drifts tC
get as much cleared away as possible
in case of another storm. Many sec
ondary roads were still one-lane.
Emeric Dusic, wholesale produce
man here, who had one of his trucks
snowbound for two days in the Rec
House section, stated this week his
loss would not amount to more THAI
500. At first he feared his entire
load, amounting to around $500, would
be frozen.
The weather continued to be above
freezing during the daytime bu
dropped as low as six degrees above
zero at night.
The varying temperatures were be
ginning to shape up for maple suga
and syrup producers and many farm
ers were engaged in this task Thu
week. 1t was too early to predict wha
kind of season would result in Thu
industry.

Paul Stark Is Found
Dead In Garage
Body Found by Robert Maroney
Death Due to Carbon
MOnOXide Poisoning

The body of Paul Leroy Stark, aged
26, who had been missing since Fri
day night, February %, was dis
covered last Friday afternoon in a
truck parked in the Board of Edu-
cation garage, near the Home Eco
Monies building. DR.. f. |. Baumgart-
ner, deputy medical examiner for
Garrett county, said that death was
due to carbon monoXide poisoning.
The discovery was made by Robert
Maroney. who is employed by the

to the garage to take out the truck

ter w. Dawson, States attorney, and
other county officials, disclosed that
Stark had worked for the Board Of
Education also until a few weeks ago
His mother, Mrs. Lulu Stark, Penn
ington street, was not alarmed at his
absence for several days because he
was in the habit of visiting friends
and staying overnight. Because of the
deep snow no special concern was felt
because l4e.Alid-4a4ot return to his home
Mr.. Dawson said, although Stark
did not have a key to the truck. he
fixed the wiring so that the car would
start, and the gasoline tank was COM
pletely empty when his body was dis
covered, leading to the conviction that
he had started the motor in an at
tempt to keep warm. A heavy snow
fell after he entered the garage, block
ing the door and covering any tracks,
He had apparently been dead at
least a week when discovered and his
body was badly decomposed.

of Virginia. He was member of the
