Constitutionality Of
Forest ConservanCy
Act Is Argued

Arguments concerning the cOnsti-
tutionality of the Forest Conservancy
Act were heard in the Circuit Court
here yesterday afternoon and Chief
Judge William A. Hustler and Asso-
ciate Judge George Henderson re-
served their decision in the matter.
The case involved Troy Friend, of
UniontOwn, Pa, and Sherman Frazee,
of Accident, saw mill operators, who
were represented by Neil c. Fraley
and E. Ray Jones. The attack par
ticularly was against the licensing
of saw mill operators under one of
the regulations, and Attorneys Fraley
and Jones declared the title of the act
did not fully set forth the provisions,
and that it was unconstitutional and
void; and that also under the bill,
while giving power to license, it was
silent as to the license fee and pointed
out that the commission had set up
fees of $40 for a resident operator
and $25 for a nonresident. They de-
clared the commission had power to
make whatever regulations in this
respect that they cared to make.
Walter W. Dawson, States Attor-
ney, in prosecuting the case, main
tanned the title was sufficient and
cited number of laws of Maryland
wherein details did not need to be
set up item for item. He also stated
that governing bodies were given GER
tain regulatory powers and as long
as they didn't exceed their authority
and the amounts were not excessive,
there was no cause for complaint.
He pointed out that the courts would
have the right to step in if the power
in the act was abused.
The regulation in question compcls
saw mill operators to pay a stipulated
fee for operation of such mills and up
until the present all mill owners in
the county except Friend and Frazee,
have paid the fee.

vides for exemption of Garrett coun-
ty from the measure.

also closed at noon, to allow all bus
children from both schools to return
to their homes. Merle Frantz, Ele-
mentary principal, said attendance
was only around so percent, as many
of the smaller children did not leave
their homes.
Although sch66l was resumed On
Wednesday, the attendance was not
improved as the wind continued and
the weather had turned some colder.
Windows in the apartments of Mrs
W. A. Gender and Mrs. Myrtle Dur
bin, on Second and Oak streets, re-
spectvely, were smashed in by the
wind, and a bay window in the home
of Mr. and Mrs. James Nally, State
road, was also smashed. A number
of people got out of bed and dressed
fearful that their homes would col
lapse.
Roofing was strewn all over Quail,
ty Hill" and most of the tin roof
from the home Of Miss Bridget Ma
roney was ripped off by the force of
the gale. The wind also blew down
the east wall of concrete block
building which was in the process of
construction by Marco Nance, near
the Sharps garage,
There was much damage through
out the county to barns and build
ings of farmers. Two large oak trees
