beach.
The Forestry board was on record
at previous meetings as finding the
Meadow Mountain site filling the
needs most satisfactorily and asked
for 400 feet of shoreline to tie in
with the Thayer Game Refuge area.
Mr.. Naylor said that Mr.. Walsh
on Tuesday had told the commits
sion that if it insisted on going
ahead the price for $500 feet
would be $50 a front foot, but if
400 feet were demanded, then the
price would be $25 per front foot.
This would amount to $4,000 or
$117,500, as the case may be. In
case Of condemnation proceedings
the court would fix the amount.
The Maryland legislature in 1853
provided $4,000 for public park
on the lake and last year added
$4,000 for road construction, san
itary facilities, parking space, self
service bathhouse and picnic facili-
ties.

proceedings Smith, through his at
torney, William c. Walsh, declared
less expensive and more suitable
land was available for park pur-
poses and asserted no reasonable
effort had been made to reach an
agreement. The state had offered
$4,000 for the land based on a
price of about $500 an acre. Smith
declared the land was being sought
now by individuals at $40 to $50
per front foot.
Attending Mondays meeting
were Helmuth Heise, president Of
the Deep Greek Lake Promotion

ing the Pennsylvania Electric COM

of the Mt. Top Chamber Of Com
merce; George II. Hanst, editor Of
The Republican,; Erwin \. Roth,
County Commissioner; and Paul B.
Naylor, member of the Board Of
Forests and Parks.
All stressed the importance of
having the state proceed with the
public park on the lake and the
group expressed confidence in the
decision of the Forestry Board as
to the location Of the Park.
Also appearing at the meeting
We're Mr.. Walsh, Mr.. Smith, and
Senator Clifford Friend. Walsh re-
stated the objections Of his client
and urged the committee 10 select
another site, and proposed an al
telnate site on the Cherry Creek
inlet, or Thousand Acres, or Green
Glade, or down near the breast Of

Senator Friend said the average
farm owner and taxpayer was OPP
posed to having any ground taken
away from them by the state, and
urged that the department give up
the idea of the Meadow Mountain
site, because 1T lends to privacy
and private home sites" He said
he had walked over the area and
couldn't see how much could be
used for a beach.

One PROPOSE, vigorously en-

Issues to Referee

After 81. days OF bitter argu-
ment in negotiations and VIC
Ilence along the tracks, the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad
strike ended this week. The is
sues will be decided by neutral
referee.
The strike was one of the
longest in rail history and af-
fected four rail cirriers besides
the LIN. Il impaired rail ser
vice in IA Southern states.
1t was marked by shootings
and dynamitings. One striker
was killed. Each side blamed
the violence on the other.
The KEY issue in the dispute
is contract provision demand
ed by AFL unions representing
incorporating workers. 1t -ould
commit the LIN and each en-
ploye to contribute $40 a
month to provide health, medi-
cal and surgical care for work
ers.
This plan was recommended
by a board appointed last year
by President Eisenhower. Other
major railroads accepted it but
the LIN refused.
When the line baked, the
unions demanded the LIN pay
the entire cost. The proposal be-
fore the referee is that the LIN
pay 'or complete health cover
age for the worker and his en-
tire family, as well as provide a
minimum $500 life insurance
policy.
Both unions and management
abandoned major points in or
der to bring the strike to an end.
The unions agreed to the car
rier's demand that the strike
stop before arbitration began.
The railroad agreed to the
unions demand that the issues
going to the referee cover all
points in the argument since the
dispute started, not the health
insurance provision alone as de-
sired by management. This

You could see the trend this

That's 2,786,e00 bales less than

The decline was a direct result
