COUNCIL VOTES
EXTENSION OF
TOWN LIMITS
Oakland Will Be Enlarged Of
ficially to the North of Present
City Limits Effective Jan. l

Extension of the corporate limits
of Oakland in the northerly direction,
and provision for a year-round
adequate water supply for Oakland,
were voted by the Mayor and Town
Council Of Oakland at their meeting
on Monday evening.
These two decisions were expected
to have far-reaching effect on Oak

would take effect January /, 1852.
The motion to extend the corpora
ton limits in line with the proposal
made in recent weeks, was made by
Emeric Dusic and seconded by How
ard Naylor. The Incorporation will
include an area about a half mile
from the present limits and would eX-
tent northeast, north and northwest
north to the Mitchell line, east of
the Winters farm and dairy, west of
the Bradley farm and Golf course and
west of the Gulf and Standard tank
areas near the railroad.
Several persons appeared before the
council to voice their views. Clayton
and Harvey Winters were opposed to
the incorporation, and d. Il. Hauser,
Lowell Loomis and J. NJ. Falkenstein
pointed out that if the area was in
corporated the citizens had right
to expect the services offered to other
citizens Of the town.
The council ruled that the amount
of income from the new area during
the first three years would be put
back into that area in improvements
which would include street lighting,
fire plugs, garbage removal, and even
tually a sewerage system over the en-
tire area. All citizens in the new in
corporated area would receive re-
duction in wa ter rates, with the
minimum at $3.50 instead Of Sc per
quarter Council also pointed out
there would be a reduction in fire in
surance rates when fire plugs are
installed.

that the area involved has a taxable
basis of 5000, 332.77, which at the
present tax rate of 80 cents, would
produce about $500 annually.
At least 200 additional persons will
be brought into the corporation by
Mondays decision of the council.
To Purchase limbaugh Farm
The Council also voted to purchase
the Dr.. NJ. c. limbaugh farm, adj

GAS COMPANY
MUST FURNISH
SPACE HEATING
Public Service Commission Is.
sues Order FavOring Area
Consumers

The Cumberland and Allegheny
Gas company has been ordered by the
Maryland Public Service commission
to make natural gas available for
space heating in the Garrett County
gas field area. The order came after
about six months or more Of letter
writing and several surveys of the
area by local persons and Public Ser
vice Commission engineers.
For long period the gas company
had refused to supply natural gas
for heating purposes in this area, in
spite of the fact that Garrett county
gas wells were producing about 80
times as much natural gas as was be-
ing used in this county.
In a reply to Senator Neil c. Fra
ley, who wrote a letter last May, the
gas company said that the gas supply
of the Columbia Gas System, of
which the C. and A. gas company is
part, is pooled supply which was
distributed on an equitable basis
among all the customers of the
Columbia system. The company's
estimates at that time still indicated
that the system would have a de-
ficiency this winter over the entire
area.
Last Fridays order requires the c.
and A. Gas company to start furnish
ing gas to the applicants where it is
feasible to hook them into the supply
from Garrett County.
According to a letter received Fri
day by Senator Fraley from the PSC,
it was stated the company had 43 de-
ferred applications for space heating
in houses, plus two from municipal
buildings and two from churches The
letter said the order refers to the
Garrett county area where the gas
wells are now in production. No
geographical limits were prescribed
in the order.
Senator Fraley received a copy Of
a letter which the Commission had
sent to J. C. Peterson, secretary of
the c. and A. gas company, Pitts
burgh, which said that the commits
sion had its chief engineer, Hugh H.
Hunter, collect data regarding the
natural gas situation in this terri
tory.
Mr.. Hunters report declared it was
reasonable to estimate that the
amount required to supply those who
had already applied for space heating
and for additional users would not be
substantial with relation to the guam
tity produced in the area.
He wrote; an view of all the cir
cumstances and in the light of the in
formation which the Commission has,
particularly as it appears that in
order to supply all desired service for
space heating in the area in question
only a negligible percentage of the
total quantity of the gas produced in
that area would be required, the Com
mission feels very definitely that ser
vice should be made available i'm
mcdiately for space heating purposes
to all users located in the area.
at therefore, directs that the c.
and A. gas company proceed at once
to make natural gas available for
space heating purposes to all users
located in the area which is or can be
supplied directly from the Garrett
County producing gas wells through
intrastate gas mains, under the
established terms and conditions of
the c. and A. Gas company on file
with the Commissions"
