Problems of Area

A 15-member special welfare COM
mission, appointed by Governor Lane
began a three-day visit in Western
Maryland yesterday to study eco
nomic problems.
The group, headed by William Ma
haney, Baltimore, chairman of the
State Department of Employment
Security, was in the county yesterday
and moved on to Cumberland for to-
day and Friday.
Noel Speir Cook, sub-chairman for
Western Maryland on the commits
sion, said the group visited several
sections of the county, including
Shallmar, for on-the-spot talks with
area residents.
Last night the group held hearings
at the William-James hotel to obtain
first hand information on economic
conditions in the county.
Neil c. FraIey, state senator, Oak
land city officials, the County Com
missioners, dairymen, miners, service
groups, industry officials and other
representatives were present.
Recreation expansion in the county
was termed the best long-range
method for improving economic con
ditions.
At last nights hearing Jesse J.
Walker, Shallmar Mining company,
reported there is no prospect of re-
opening mines at Shallmar and Vim
dex because of inability to meet COM
petitive prices.
William H. Johnson, district forest
er, explained the lumber industry, de
claring lumber operators were unable
to meet wage rates paid in Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia for pulp
wood.
All agreed on the tremendous po-
tential in development of recreation
al facilities with the most important
phase being to spread the knowledge
of available facilities to the larger
cities.
Mayor limbaugh and Emeric
Dusic said the Mt. Top Chamber of
Commerce was spearheading at
tempts to get new industries to locate
in the county.

gas from the new well on the N. X.
Welch farm near Mt. Lake Park,
which was brought in successfully on
Monday, is continuing, it was an
nounced yesterday.
The well actually was brought in
last Friday at depth of 2,835 feet
with an output of 49, 900 cubic feet
per day, but after drilling nine more
feet on Monday the output increased
to 100000 cubic feet per day, five
times the output of the well on the

The well was started in July by

explained that gas in such quantities
had never been found at that depth,
The land leased in that area is

CONTRACTORS FAIL
TO SUBMIT BIDS
FOR new SCHOOLS
World Conditions and Price Tn.
certainty Said TO Be The
Factors Involved

A number Of interested persons
gathered in the office Of the County
Commissioners yesterday afternoon
at l o'clock to be present at the open
ing of the bids for the two new high
schools in the county-but there were
no bids received.
Four contractors had previously OBJ
tanned plans and specifications and
it was thought that at least three of
them would submit bids
Edward H. Glidden, Baltimore
architect, announced that the taking
of bids would be deferred for the
present, but that the Commissioners
probably would re-advertise for bids
in the very near future.
He pointed out that the contractors
had declared they had been unable to
secure enough sub-bids on various
phases Of the work, that contractors
everywhere had been afraid of rising
prices in steel and cement and other
materials, and had also noted the I'M
certainty Of possible federal controls,
due to the war conditions.
The Commissioners had sought
bids on the construction of two mod
crn high schools, one between Oak
land and Mt. Lake Park, and one at
the Cove.

Unit System Causes
Doubt in 3 Contests

Under Maryland's peculiar system
of deciding statewide primaries, three
state contests were thrown in doubt
1t is the convention vote total and not
the overall popular vote that is de-
cisive.
George p Mahoney refuses to con
cede that Governor Lane defeated
him in Mondays Democratic guber-
material primary. Unofficial returns
showed that the Baltimore contractor
received more popular votes than
Lane, but that the governor held the
edge in convention votes.
There were reports that some of
the Mahoney forces in some of the
counties, including Garrett, were look
ing into the possibility of calling for
recounts. They will decide when the
official canvass of votes is held today
In this county Lane had 858 votes
and Mahoney received 805, differ
ence of 50. Mahoneys popular vote
count was 166,590 to 157,703 for
Lane.
Gunter Race Close
Although leading in popular vote
from 1,017 of the states 1929 rol-
ling places, William A. Gunter, c m
berland, was not yet assured the
Republican nomination for attorney
general Unofficial returns credit
Gunter with 34,481 votes to 1886
for Helen Elizabeth Brown, Balti-
more. Miss Brown swept Baltimore
City and picked up AZ convention
votes, but Gunter seemed to have
wrapped up 40 unit votes from seven
counties and also led by substantial
margins in ten other counties with
al more votes, giving him a tenta-
tive total Of 81.
Butler Holds Slight Lead
John Marshall Butler held slight
lead over D. John Marley in the
Republican senatorial primary cleo
ton, although Markey had more
votes. The Baltimore attorney had a
popular vote of 26,731 to 29,419 for
Marley, but Butler held the edge on
the basis of nominating convention
votes There are 1852 of these, one for
each member Of the state legislature
Butler was assured of ~ convention
votes from Baltimore City and also
led in returns from nine counties
with a total of 43 convention votes,
giving him IS of the 1872 if the trend
in the counties holds.
