Gas Well Tax Still
Cause For Charges
And Counter Charges

A letter to the editor of The Baltl
more Sun by Jonas w. Sincs, presi
dent of the Board of County Commits
sioners, and a reply to Mr., Sines by
Joseph T. Singewald, Jr., director of
the Department of Geology, Mines
and Water Resources, have appeared
this week as follow up to recent argu-
ments about Garrett County's gas well
production tax.
The arguments back and forth be-
gan with an editorial in The Sun on
August 26 in which it declared efforts
to find out how much natural gas was
being drawn from the newly opened
wells in this county had been I'M
successful; made certain statements
as to the annual tax income and init
mated that such an amount might well
be used to reduce the state aid to the
county for schools.
This was answered by an editorial
in The Republican which pointed out
that The Suns editorial was mislead-
ing to indicate that the county was
getting $2S0,000 from the tax where
as in reality the check for the first
six months was only $17,344.27 and
that fifteen percent Of the tax col
lections 90 to incorporated towns
when the gas wells are contained in
those towns. The editorial also
pointed out other gross eXaggerations
and that thousands of acres had been
taken from the county's tax books by
purchases by state agencies, which
had reduced the county's taxable basis.
In a Sun reply the newspaper did
not admit its errors but indicated that
the main point was that the state was
entitled to know how much gas was
being obtained and that such infor-
nation had been supplied and would
be supplied in the future.
Mr.. Snes picked up at this point
with letter to The Sun editor that
the County Commissioners had read
with indignation your editorial rela-
tive to Garrett county natural gas
and concealment by the county
authorities Of the amount of gas be-
ing produced. There has not been, and
there will not be, any attempt by this
board to conceal anything"
Mr.. Sines, speaking for the board,
declared that DR.. Singewald wrote

quests but not during 1851. He said

The Garrett county All calf ring is
now in the process of completing the
circle that was started in 1919, with
the ultimate aim of providing calves
continually to deserving All youths.
The first heifer calf from calves
that were distributed free in Decem-
Der of 1919, has been born, and
Under agreement, will be turned back
to the county calf ring, to be given to
some other All boy for raising The
calf was born to the heifer raised by
Thomas Edward Bittinger, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Harold G.. Bittinger, who
live one mile south of Oakland on
the Aurora road. Tommy is a seventh
grade student in Oakland High
school
Tommy received his calf through
the All Sears Roebuck Foundation
on December 3, 1919. John H. Carter

foundation allots certain amount of
money to the county for purchase of
purebred calves, to be distributed to
worthy All boys and girls. The
youths receiving the calves, raise
them under supervision of the county
agents office When calves reach

purchased, bringing the present total
to 81. Ten more calves will be bought
in 1851 through the foundation, Mr..

Commissioner Group
Favor Sales Tax For
Teacher Pay Increase

That the majority of the counties
of Maryland are in favor of the state
providing for increased teacher sal
aries, and that the cost come from
sales tax revenues, was brought out
at the initial meeting of the State
Association of County Commissioners,
which met last Friday and Saturday
at Ocean City.
Attending the meeting from Oak
land were Jonas W. Sines and Stewart
F. Stahl, commissioners; S. R. Pagen-
hardt, attorney, and w. w. Dewitt,
county roads engineer.
This was the first meeting since
the merger of the Eastern Shore and
Western Shore County Commission
ers' association. U. Grant Hooper,
Frederick, was elected president;
Paul Widdowson, Eastern Shore, vice
president; Kathryn j. Lawlor, Cock
vile, secretary-t
Directors were Thomas n. Kay, w.
Clyde Ford, Jr., and Julian HURT, of
the Eastern Shore; and William H.
Lemmert, Clarence L. Tyler and Wal
ter V. Bennett, Western Shore.
Jonas Sines was appointed on the
legislative committee of the group.
In accepting the office of president
Mr.. Hooper pointed out the advan-
tages from the merged organizations
and the spirit of mutual understand
ing that prevailed. IF the opposing
factors and the conflicting ideologies
of the world could be brought to-
gcther and united as we are today
without the shedding of blood, what
a blessing to mankind" he declared.
After reciting the dangers facing
this country from without and with
in, Mr.. Hooper declared, "If we would
strengthen and reform our national
government we must give first at
tention to our local government for
the life blood of democracy is in
good local government, without which
no true democracy can exist"
One of the points he stressed was
seeing that every child in every
county had equal opportunity for in
tellectual development, not only
through an equalization fund but one
for the purpose Of standardizing the
salaries of teachers.
Hospitals, fair assessment laws and
facilities for the INDECENT and men
tally ill also were suggested.

Mercury at s.

The threat of a killing frost in Gar
rett county has been dissipated for
the time being.
The coolest morning of the week
brought the mercury to low of 80
at the Weber recording station. But
frost was reported in spots, with
damage at a minimum, due to heavy
fog. Farmers reported some hail
around Horse Shoe Run on Friday and
one or two declared they had seen
flakes of snow in the air.
The weather has moderated, how
ever, and the nights are fairly warm,
with a bright moon.
