Several meetings and discussions
have already taken place, but none
of them were open to the press and
radio, and since, at these meetings,
the question of certain payments
being made to the Potomac Edison
Company to compensate that or
ganization for the surrender of its
trolley franchise were discussed, it
was felt that, since any payment
made would, Of necessity, come from
the taxes of the citizens of Wash
ington County (be they from Hag-
erstown, the County, or Williams
port, it was only fair to acquaint
the taxpayers with the full facts.
Hence this mornings meeting.
Present at the meeting will be:

Commission and their counsel; the
Mayor and Council of Hagerstown
and the City Attorney; The Board
of County Commissioners and the

loose another blast at the Board of
County Commissioners. OF course
there's no news in that, since the
same thing has been going on
periodically ever since a Republican
Board was elected four and-a-half
years ago.
But if the day ever comes when
the Mail should bestow even mod
icum of praise on the present Board,
then brother, that would be news
with capital IN"
Last Saturday night, during the
glastonbury game, / witnessed
about the most disgusting exhibit
ton ever put on in the Hagerstown,
or for that matter any other ball
park.
During most of the game, a So
called fan, seated in box next to the
third base dugout (and | am told
he was not Sunbury FAM kept
hurting personal insulting remarks
at Dick Williams, the Owls Center
fielder. 1t is a recognized privilege
of baseball fans to boo the umpires
and to razz the players in a decent
way Il have heard the home fans
razz Babe Ruth many time when
he struck out), but it goes beyond
the bounds of common decency
when a person stoops to hurting per-
sonal insults at one of the home
clubs players-particularly at
man like Dick Williams, who is try
ing to fight his way back after suf-
fering a conclusion of the brain, the
result of being hit on the head dur
ing preseason game.
Thank goodness the Owls fans
and they are legion-finally got fed
up with the cheap exhibition and
howled the heckler down.
It's too bad he wasn't there on
Sunday afternoon, when after Dick
had driven in the winning run in
that thrilling 10 second game, his
team mates rushed out to congratu-
late him as he came off the field.
Following a suggestion made by
]. V. Jamison Jr.,, at a recent meet
ing of the Mayor and Council, a
meeting is to be held today in
connection with the proposed re-
moval of the Williamsport trolley
and the substituting of buses on
the route, at which all parties con-
cerned will be present, together
with representatives of the press
and radio (see news article else
where on this page).
1t is to be hoped that when the re-
ports of the meeting are published
a full account will be found in next
weeks issue of this paper-the tax
payers, whether they pay taxes in
Hagerstown, Washington County, or
Williamsport, will not only read the
published reports, but also study
them carefully. And when they
have done that, they should immed
lately contact their council MEM
bers, or commissioners, and tell
them frankly how they stand
If the taxpayers money has to be
spent to effect the removal of the
trolley, it is the duty of the tax
payers to tell their elected repre-
sentatives how they feel about it
and they should be told before fin
al action is taken, not afterwards.
In fairness to all concerned, none
of us should make up our minds on
this important question until all the
facts have been presented and care
fully studied. But when you are in
possession fall the facts, do your
duty as citizen of the community
possession of all the facts, do-your
elected representatives, who after
all are handling your money-your
taxes.
