Installing Modern
System of Indexing

Replacing the old system of index
ing land records in the office of
Richard l.. Davis, clerk of the Cir
cult court for Garrett county, with
the modern Cottco system, was
started this week. The work will be
completed within year.
The method has the recommend
alton and approval of the County Bar
association and the approval of the
Court, according to Mr.. Davis. He
said the cost of installing the new
system would be paid from excess
fees in the clerks office which pre-
viously had been turned over to the
state, and would not involve any ad-
ditional expense upon the part Of the
taxpayers.
L. w. Cott, company official, and
Miss Grace Crosby, superintendent,
are beginning the work, and several
others will be employed at a later
date. Mr.. Cott explained that is was
loose leaf system, and would con
tain indices for all the land records
from the beginning of the county in
1872, to December 81, 1916. The new
system has been in effect in the Of
flee since the first of the year.
Mr.. Davis said the new system
would make it easier to trace titles
and land records. Previously the in
dex books had given only the names
of the parties involved, the kind of
instrument, without any description
or date making it necessary some
times for d lengthy search to find
some record desired. Under the new
system the date of the instrument is
given, the surnames of grantors and
grantees, with reference to the kind
of instrument, the book and page and
description.

HOSPITAL BIDS
ALL HIGHER THAN
COMBINED FUNDS
Low Figure S447,19S - Com
mittee to Work With Con-
tractor to Eliminate Certain
Items from plan

With all bids for construction of
the Garrett County Memorial hos
pital considered too high, the COM
mittee last Thursday afternoon made
arrangements to work with the
architect, James J. Baldwin, Wash
ington and Herbert G. Fritz, of the
State Hospital Planning Commission,
in eliminating certain items from the
plan which would reduce the overall
figure to the desired amount.
Bids ranged from $447,198 to $518,-
083, for the entire structure contract
which included the proposed wing.
The low bidder was Moyer Brothers,
of Altoona, Pa, the firm which just
last week received the contract for
construction of the armory at Cum
berland. He allowed $4,000 for the
wing, Other bids: Lynch, Pugh and
Corson, Morgantown, w. Va, $518,-
083, with a figure of $75,436 included
in the bid for the wing; Baker and
Combs, Morgantown, $5O1 ,975, with
figure of $68,090 for wing; G.. F.
Hazelwood, Cumberland, $496,543,
with figure of $4,000 for wing.
No actual awarding of contract
was done by the committee, according
to f. R. Jones, pending possibility of
reducing the cost by elimination of
some items, and contingent upon the
receipt Of government funds and pos
sible additional funds from local con-
tributors.
1t was stated last Thursday that
the Hill-Burton act, providing for
certain funds for hospital construc-
tion throughout the various states,
had been passed by Congress and
signed by the President, but the actu-
al ALLEGATION of funds by Congress
had not been made 1t was pointed
out that when the money is made
available by Congress which might
be within 80 to 90 days, that Mary
land would get its share and that
Garrett county's ALLEGATION would
follow soon after as the hospital here
was highest on the priority list.
Actual construction would not be-
gin until the ALLEGATION of money was
made and the contract awarded. Com
mittee members were hopeful that
the low bid could be reduced by $50,-
600 or more by eliminating some
| items that were not absolutely es-
sential at present, but still retaining
the wing The wing would add an adj
dtional 20 beds to the capacity of the
hospital which otherwise would be
limited to "a beds.
The bill provides for matching
government funds at the rate of so
cents for every dollar, which would
bring at least $135,000 from federal
funds, 10 add to the amount left by
the late Geirge w. Loar, plus the
contributions locally.

lies having won seven out of nine
games in the eight-day period end
ing Tuesday night and climbing
from the depths of the league cell
lar to fifth place in the standings,
just a stones throw from the
leagues upper bracket. The up
ward surge started shortly after
the appearance of Don Thompson,
hard-hitting outfielder, in the Mil
ford lineup and the transformed
Sox carried on through a sweep of
two-game series with Federals-
burg, split with Dover and a
split with Rehoboth, a single win
over Salisbury and Tuesdays eve-
ning's dOuble-win over Easton.
Milford's young hurlers have be-
gun to come into their own, going
the route and finishing frequently
In the winners circle; this i'm
provement Is due in large measure
to the superb manner in which the

pressive OF the formers one-hit

ter's three-hit 2 to win over Eas-
ton; that the Sox hurlers pack some
batting punch was clearly demon
strated Tuesday evening when Gar
man won his own game with a
single that sent the winning run
homeward.
Milford fans are still talking
about Walt Miles hitting feats in
Tuesdays doubleheader. In the
first game the veteran pilot slash
ed out two doubles and a single in
three trips up, and then poled out
double and two singles in the
second game. First Baseman Cam
Jury, .Catchers Ryan and Miles
an dthe two new outhelders, Don
Thompson and Bob Clemens are
currently pacing the Milford at
tack with all members of the local
cast coming in for frequent ap-
pearances in the hit column.
Bernie Cawley, infielder-outfield-
er, continues to do well in the han
dyman role, returning to third base
early in the week with the shift oi
Ken Jannusch to shortstop. Frank
Rubino returned to the lineup az
left fielder when Cawley moved in
to third. Elmer Bodner continues
to do capable job at second ant
Jannusch has taken the shift te
short in stride.

which makes Milford's loyal fans
most happy.

ity to shorten the gap between
their present position and the top
rung this weekend when the Cam
