Taxpayers To Meet
In Williamsport

The Board of County Commission
ers announced at their meeting on
Tuesday that they are going to meet
with one hundred and twenty-seven
taxpayers in Williamsport at the

night, to bring them up-to-date on
the appeals lodged with the State
Tax Commission by the county tax
assessor, Simon Chopper, against the
tax valuation placed on their prop

The State Commission has notified
the County Commissioners that they
will hold hearings in the Courthouse

and % and October and s. on the
appeals, and the commissioners feel
that it is only right to let the prop

going on. All interested parties in
the Williamsport area are urged to
attend the meeting.

commenting of the board of direc-
tors of the Chamber of Commerce

Der, Arley o. Sica, who congratulate
ed the youngsters on bringing honor
not only to Hagerstown, but to the
whole state of Maryland, each of
the boys was presented with min
iature gold plated statuette of a
baseball player suitably engraved

whether the city, since it is going to
do the work itself because it can do
it cheaper, is going to rebate to the
Cemetery Company any part of the
money that the city is going to save.
In my opinion, if this sort of thing
goes on, the city will find itself in
the awkward position, should it
really have to have a job done by an
outside contractor, of being unable
to get bids, for contractors are soon
going to get sick of going to the ex-
pense and trouble of working up spe-
cifications and submitting bids that
might be used by the city just for the
purpose of comparing prices, with no
intention of accepting any,of the bids
offered.
And finally, it ought to be brought
out in the open that contractors can
not compete with the city on con-
struction work. The contractors have
rent and taxes to pay and in nearly
every case high wages, whereas the
city has no rent to pay, no taxes to
pay, and in general pays its men
lower wage rates than outside firms
do

Hagerstown Fair To
Open Mon, Sept. e
Exhibits And Premiums Will Be
Bigger And Better Than Ever
-Cetlin- Wilson Shows To Fea-
lure Mile-Long Midway.

The gates of the Great Hagerstown
Fair, without doubt one of the big
gest events in Washington County,
will swing open on Monday, Sep
TENDER 10, and will continue through
September %. The big event, an
annual landmark in Hagerstown for
the past So years, will be open day
and night and the same low admis-
sion to the grounds-5O cents day or
night-will be in effect.
There will be thousand things to
do and see, including half-million-
dollar cattle show; one of the biggest
poultry shows in the Middle Atlantic
area; fruit and farm produce; sheep
and swine, and a horticultural show
that will top them all
The main exhibition hall will be
jammed with educational exhibits of
every kind to interest young and old
alike. Then to top it all will be the
famous Cetlin- Wilson shows on the
mile-long Midway, with more rides
and concessions than ever.
Because the old grandstand has
been torn down to make way for
one of the most modern and up-to-
date grandstands in any Playground
in the country, there will be no
grandstand attractions and the fair
will concentrate on the agricultural
and other exhibits = the premiums
for which will exceed $4,000 and
the big Midway.

Shopping Center Is
Discussed Freely
Opinion Fairly Evenly Divided
AT Public Meeting Held On
Tuesday.

Although the public meeting held
in the Council Chambers on Tues
day night was called for the purpose
of considering the zoning of Section
l (the North End, practically the
whole meeting was taken up with a
discussion of just one phase of the
proposed zoning-A Shopping Cen
ter.
Following brief Introductory re-
marks by the chairman of the Plan
ming and Zoning Commission, Claude
M. Potterfield, the Shopping Center
phase of the coming was taken up.
Attorney Irvine Rutledge, repre-
senting the developers, introduced
Lee Moore, an architect end author
ity on planning and coming, who
has been engaged by the Antietam
Company to plan their proposed
Shopping Center in the North End
After Mr.. Moore had given a com
prehensive review of the plans, the
matter was thrown open for dis
cussion by the audience (there were
about one hundred PRESENT..
Edward Oswald, Jr., speaking on
behalf of DR.. Wayne Order who
was prevented at the last minute
from attending the meeting himself,
stated that the doctor, whose home
is closer to the, shopping center area
than any other, was definitely in
favor of the shopping center and
felt that it might increase, rather
than decrease, the value of his prop
erty.
He was followed by Lloyd Stout
fer, who, speaking for administra-
tive officers of the Pangborn Corp
Grafton, many of whom own homes
in the North End, also stated that
they were in favor of the proposed
center
Speaking in opposition to the pro-
posed center, both DR.. Eldon Hoach-
lander and Mrs. Hoachlander ex-
pressed grave concern at the pros
pect of shopping center in the
North End, feeling that such a CEN
ter would not only disturb the pri-
vacy of residents of the North End
but might also tend to bring to the
section, the wrong kind of stores
and merchandise.
Mayor Mills also. repeated his
previous statements in opposition to
the proposed project, after which {
show of hands was taken on a for.
or-against basis. The count was not
announced, but to this reporter il
looked fairly even.
The Commission will now NEE
and decide on just what type Of
planning and Zoning to recommend
to the Mayor and Council, who, o.
course, will have the final say, since
they must prepare and approve any
coming ordinance, after advertising
the proposed ordinance for perioe
of ten days and then calling an
other public meeting.

 The slide, in the Nenana canyon south of Fairbanks, will close the line indefinitely, railroad officials said.
 The debris swept over the rails and plunged another 200 feet to the floor of the canyon. Clearing crews were unable to approach the site immediately because of danger from further slides and surveys will be necessary before possible clearing procedures can be decided upon.

 Earl J. Cooke, IT,, chairman of the Legion's natnonal security commission, made the statement in urging speedy enactment of universal military training.
 "How soon we begin mobilizing to meet this conflict that is sure to come will measure our chances of survival" Cooke said in a statement given to the Senate armed services committee.

 The Senate group is holding hearings on a UNIT bill. A major ity of the committee already has endorsed the idea and urged that Congress remain in session until it can act on the measure.
 Backers of UNIT, pointing to swift Senate approval of monthly payments to families of enlisted men, contend Congress is in a mood to enact whatever measures military leaders say are needed. The defense department has asked for PINT, President Truman has said he will not push for action at this session of Congress.
 The dependents allowance bill went through the Senate last eve- ming in less than an hour. The proposed monthly payments the family allowance bill would pro- vide vary from a minimum of $85 monthly for a dependent wife, child. or parent to $115 for three or more dependents or men in the lowest grades.
 Enlisted lower grades would sign over $40 of their pay to their dependents. The gover m e n would pay the rest of the benefits. Allowances would be higher for families of men in the upper grades.
