Peculiar Aa9tt~e~A q.

Advocates OF law to legalize the sale of Whskey in
this county peculiar arguments to try to justify their
position They proclaim whskey is necessary keep bust
alive Deep Greek Lake Don't let anyone make you
believe that Records in the County Commissioners office
will prove there is continuing building activity there and
that property values being improved constantly There
aren't many places of business like along the lake that
can operate months where the proprieors
take it easy for the balance of the year AS resident Of
the lake said this week-Just put wide open liquor
there and see it go to the dogs.
These advocates point the amount of tax
if liquor egazed Tax from liquor in other
has done solitary thing in reducing other
lowering real estate sales property income
But excessive of liquor has added to the burden of
countless families
They point out how law abiding the holders of liquor
licenses would be if it legal sell whskey, but many
of those who would likely be selling it, have been before the
courts for failure to abide by laws What
that their standards would be improved?
No get around the fact that when all is said
and DONE there's still the moral question Having it egazed
in other doesn't make it morally right there and
wouldn't make it right here
1t is peculiar situation when find who would
like to see whiskey sales egazed here won't admit openly
publicly because of business There be
moral reaction somewhere along the way.
Voters must wake up and bestr themselves. How many
candidates for legislature do you find in favor
egazed whskey sales And would they like the bar
in state controlled stores in hotels and restaurants? How
many definitely opposed Better ask them this week
It may be later than you think.

To Hospital
Commissioners Pass ResOlu-
ton To That Effect
This Week

The County Commissioners, by
resolution this week agreed to CON
struct the addition to the Garrett
Couny Memorial hospital accord
ing to plans and specifications
drawn by Johannes and Murray,
architects. They also agreed to

tion to the George F. Hardwood
company, the low bidder on the
project. Bids were opened last week
and that of the Hardwood COM
pany was $277, 480.
The Board of Directors of the
hospital on May 3 recommended
unanimously that the addition be
constructed and that the bid be
accepted.
The new addition will provide
20 more beds, more space for the
bookkeeping department and quar-
ters for the county health depart
ment The Commissioners said in
their opinion the addition was
necessary for the health and we'll
being of the citizens of the county.
The acceptance of the bid was
subject to approval of the State
Department OF Health and the U.
S. Public Health service.
The Federal government an
nounced in March that it was pre-
pared to contribute $4,000 toward
the construction.

project was made some time ago
and the Legislature in 1858 made
provision for the Commissioners to
borrow up to 100000 to complete
the addition. Enlargement of the
hospital has been made necessary
because of crowded conditions in
the hospital that was built in 1850.

pected to get underway in the near
future. Completion was set for 300
days after construction begins.
