Mayor H. L. Mills, for the second
time since he has been in office, call
ed a special meeting of the Board
of Public Works on Saturday morn
ing, at which he presided-the other
occasion being when several auto
mobile dealers requested that they
be heard in connection with the let
ting of contracts for police auto
mobiles.
Mayor Mills called a special meet
ing at the request of DR.. E. w. Dit
to, Jr., a Hagerstown physician, who
wanted special parking privileges
afforded members of the medical pro
fession while making calls on their
patients. In addition to Mayor
Mills and the three members Of the
Board-Aaron Reecher, president;
M. E. Ellinger, Police Commission
er; and Joseph Ward, Jr., Light
Plant Commissioner-present at the
meeting were: Doctor Ditto, DR..
Samuel R. Wells, Captain Brown;
Traffic Sergeant Keyser and repre-
sentatives of the press and radio.
DR.. Ditto, acting as spokesman for
the medical profession, complained
of the number of traffic violation
tickets that doctors were receiving
while out on calls and asked that
they be given permission to park in
any restricted zone while on such
calls. The doctor cited several in
stances where he found it impos-
sible to park in regulation parking
zones and had been forced to park
in restricted zones in order to get to
his patient as quickly as possible.
Following the doctors statement,
Police Commissioner M. E. Ellinger
stated that the members of his de-
partment had always leaned over
backwards to cooperate with the
members of the medical profession
with regard to parking while call
ing on patients and that the depart
ment would continue to do so. The
Commissioned backed up his state
ment by producing complete rec
ord of every parking violation ticket
that had been given to doctors from
the day the present administration
took office on April l, 1949, through

AROUND TOWN
WITH THE EDITOR

that it was their duty to investigate
it, That investigation of a SEEM
ingly small matter has been going
on by a committee for more than
two weeks and the representative of
this committee, at Mondays meet
ing of the board, told the directors
that there was a city ordinance that,
if rigidly. enforced, would put an
immediate stop of this promiscuous
peddling of merchandise in the
streets. The board, therefore, auth
orized the manager of the Chamber
to write letter to the Mayor and
Council, requesting that the ordi-
nance be enforced Immediately.
Then, as if going from one ex-
IRENE to the other, the board mem
bers heard a report from Attorney
Edward w. Cooey, who had been
named at a previous meeting by the
directors to investigate the Toledo,
Ohio, plan of management-labor re-
lations. During the report Mr..
Cooey told the board members how
this plan operated on a purely vol
untary basis, being financed by the
city of Toledo, and that it had been
highly successful. He felt, however,
that such an elaborate plan perhaps
would hardly be necessary for city
the size of Hagerstown, and he sug-
gested that some further study of the
subject should be made with view
to getting further information re-
garding the Toledo plan and also to
ascertain if any other cities of the
size of Hagerstown had adopted a
plan along similar lines.
After discussing Mr.. Cooey's re-
port, the board voted unanimously
that he continue his investigations
and report back to the board at a
later date.
Final action of the board at the
meeting concerned the Ober Law
now on the statute books, which will
be the subject of a referendum in
the November elections. While ev-
cry member of the board expressed
his heartiest approval of the Ober
Law, which requires that all gov
eminent employees in Maryland
take an oath of loyalty, the board
as whole voted to take referen-
dunn of the entire membership OF
the Chamber, in order to get their
views. This referendum will be
taken Immediately.
l think it is right to tell you that
these tWice-a-month board of direc-
tors luncheon-meetings do not come
out of Chamber of Commerce funds
as everybody present, and that in
cludes the members of the press and
radio, pays for his own lunch.

Funeral Held For
Murdered Officer
Trooper First Class Lauren M.
Ridge, Shot To Death In Per-
Torrance OF Duty On Friday,
Laid To Rest - Services At
tended By Large Detachment
OF State And Local Police.

The funeral for Trooper First Glass
Lauren Ridge, the State Trooper who
was shot to death on Northern Ave
nue. on Friday while in the perform
ance of his duty, was held on Monday
afternoon.
Services were conducted at the
Grace United Brethren Church by
Rev. John Neff and Rev. DIR. G. 1.
Rider, with large detachment of
state police and Hagerstown police
attending. Burial was in Harbaugh
Cemetery near Rouzerville. Trooper
First Glass Ridge, whose home was
at 1891 Salem Avenue, was % years
of age.
Also present at the services were:
Governor Lane, Police Commission
er Ellinger and several State Of
ficials.
The trooper lost his life while dis
arming Steve Oris. Oris had fired
shots from a rifle at two tax asses
sors, and Trooper Ridge, when called
to the scene of the shooting, walked
up and took Oris' rifle away from
him, but as he did so, Oris suddenly
pulled revolver from his pocket
and fired point blank at the police
officer and then poured more bullets
into his body as he lay helpless on
the ground.
Oris was seriously wounded by a
posse of police officers who rushed to
the scene, and is now in the Wash
ington County Hospital in serious
condition, under 24-hour guard.
Trooper Ridge was born in Edge
mont and was the son of Melvin G..
and Mae Anna Funk Ridge. He
graduated from Hagerstown High
School in 1910 and shortly after en-
listed as private in the Army. He
was at Pearl Harbor during the De-
cember T. 1941, bombing and later
saw action in the Pacific. Following
his discharge from the Army he
served for time as a guard at the
State Reformatory for Males and
became state police officer in 1916.
He was a member of the Grace
Evangelical United Brethren Church
and belonged to the Fraternal Or
der of Police, Boonsboro American
Legion and the Moose Lodge in
Waynesboro.
He is survived, besides his parents,
by: his wife, Mrs. Alice (Groshon)
Ridge; an 18-month-old son; four sis
tiers, Mrs, Charles Hoover, Hagers-
town; Mrs. Leroy Sites, York, Pa;
and Gladys Mae and Linda Virginia,
at home; and brother, Kenneth L.
Ridge, US Army, now stationed at
Georgia.
