The Wrangell sentinel., 1950-08-11
5fa5;S
 5OIll0

Aug. 10, 1850 Editor, The Sentinel:
 The writer today inquired from a transfer company on the avail ability of several yards of beach gravel for use in making concrete. The concrete was to have been used for construction of part of chim- ney.
 The driver said that as of three weeks ago Q ban had been placed on procurement of beach gravel from the eight-mile post on the highway south of town by the |. $. Forest Service. The Forest Service had so acted on the recommends tion of the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce which contended that gravel removal was running the beach, the chamber being, in the apparent opinion of the Forest Sery- ice, unquestiOnably representative of the majority of public opinion in this district. This action was taken by the chamber without the general public being aware that if any gravel was needed a boat or scow plus labor would have to be procured at heavy expense.
 The thought of the Chamber was admirable from the standpoint of conservation of recreational areas but not from the standpoint of those whose only source of supply has been removed or hampered. We are well aware of the high cost of building materials the concrete picture until now has been the only bright spot in otherwise steadily climbing expense. Now unless a per and labor he must purchase ready-made product or go without
 This question has even been wig orously opposed within the Cham Der. Last year it was defeated. This year relatively small number of people pushed it through.
 In the writer's opinion there is not enough use of the beach to clamp a watertight restriction on gravel removal from mile eight Wholesale removal of thousands of yards would undoubtedly cause se- rious damage but why deprive small users because of the abuses of large consumers? It's just about as silly as passing an ordinance prohibiting the sale of hot dogs just because some kid ate too many last Fourth of July. How about letting the elected Town Council make the rec ommendations in these matters?

New Charges Hurled
AT Lane By MahoneY;
Davis Urged 10 Quit
BY The Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 7.-George
P. Mahoney hurled new charges
over the weekend at Gov. Lane
in the lively campaigning for the
Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor.
On the Republican side, an
organization claiming afflliation
with the party asked State Sen
ator Roy Tasco Davis of Mont
gomery County to withdraw as a
candidate for the COP nomin-
alton for Governor. Mr.. Davis de-
clined comment.
Mr.. Mahoney, seeking the Demo-
cratic nomination in opposition to
Gov. Lane, charged the Governor
with negligence and inhospitality
Promises to Fill Posts.
| He said the negligence was due
to the Governors failure to fill
two vacancies on the board of
the Maryland State Department
of Welfare and the Craftsmanship
of that group. Mr.. Mahoney
promised to make such appoint
ments a first order of business
if elected.
To a group who complained that
Gov. Lane had not answered their
letter asking that the same ap-
pointments be made, Mr.. Mahoney
replied:
Mr.. Lane has found it At to
abandon (the) Maryland tradi-
ton Of the hospitality~of the State
house. He is inaccessible to the
people he governs. he refuses to
answer their mail. He will not
speak to them on the phone"
Davis Asked to Quit.
The request that Senator Davis
quit the Republican race for Gov
ernor was directed at him by the
Republican Activities Committee
Of Maryland, which describes itself
on its letterheads as being "as-
sociated with" various State Re
publican organizations.
Mr.. Davis himself refused to
comment, but associates said they
believed he will remain in the
race against Theodore r. Nickel
din of Baltimore. After three days
campaigning in western Maryland
last week, they explained, he plans
to visit the Eastern Shore this
week.
In another weekend develop
ment, the Progressive Party Of
Maryland announced that 1t would
nominate candidates for Cover
nor, United States Senator and
Representative from the fourth
district at a meeting in Baltimore
tonight.
