The sheets rapidly issuing from
the printing press in The Republi-
can office last week looked no diff
ferent from thousands of others
which the plant has produced over
the past eighty years.
But the difference was unmis-
taxable to the group of curious
printers gathered around the new
ly-installed press. For in the pro-
duction of this job, science and
chemistry had replaced type and
mechanics.
No type is used in this newest
machine. 1t is an offset printing
press, and prints directly from a
photographically obtained image of
anything written, drawn or previ-
ously printed By this method,
printing can be produced more
quickly because the laborious job
of typesetting, in most cases, is
completely eliminated.
This is the first press of its type
in the county, and during last
weeks trial run" was turning out
70 printed sheets per minute, with
the speed control handle just past

Shirer-Hardesty
Firm Low Bidder
On Two Schools

Shirer and Hardesty, Oakland
contracting firm, submitted the low
combination bid of S552,533 to
build two new elementary schools
in this county, it was announced
by Willard L. Hawkins, county
superintendent of schools, follow
ing the opening of bids Tuesday
morning.
Bids were opened in the presence
of members of the Board of Educa-
ton, Board of County Commission
ers and other interested persons.
The bids were for construction Of
a 12-room school in Oakland, ad-
jacent to Southern High school,
and an eight-room school on us.
route 40, at Long Stretch.
Hawkins said the George Con-
struction company, Cumberland,
submitted the low bid of S289,2l3
for the Oakland school, being sew
eral hundred dollars less than the
Shirer-Hardesty bid, but in combi-
nation with the low bid on the
other school the George company
was higher than the Oakland firms
combination bid.
Baker and Combs, Morgantown,
w. Va, also submitted a combina-
ton bid of S645,9OO about 100000
higher than the local firms price.
Mr.. Hawkins said both boards
seemed to be we'll pleased with
the bids, particularly in the face
of a bid last week of $4,000 for
an eight-room building scheduled
to be built in Cumberland.
He said the Board is expected
to award the contract early next
week. In the meantime efforts are
being made to modify the plans to
such an extent that about $4,000
will be deducted from the total bid,
since only about S55O,OOO is avail
able to build and equip the two
schools
Hawkins said construction would
begin at once on both schools with
probable completion date of jan
uary, 1858, for completion of the
Oakland school, and the middle of
the same year for completion of
the route 40 school.

the Garrett County Jail this week
under unusual circumstances, fol-
lowing an automobile wreck on U.

Monday morning.

Charles James Benson, 20, both
colOred. of Buffalo, N. Y, and
white person, about 20, whose name
is not known, who was the driver
of the car.
Sheriff Paul w. Fisher said he
did not know whether the man was
an amnesia victim or whether he
was pretending. He did not re-
member his name or where he lives.
The two Negroes told Sheriff
Fisher they we're hitchhikers and
that they did not know the third
individual or where he had come
from.
Blair Bucket, of the Maryland
State Police, investigated the acct
dent. They ran off the road near
Cove and wrecked, and Dangher
was the only one requiring hos
pitalization. He had a cut over one
eye.
Bucket said that the driver ran
from the car following the wreck.
The two Negroes stayed on the
scene. Their identifications seemed
to be in order but they are being
held as witnesses.
Fisher said the cars license tags
were stolen from Cecil Gordon, of
Mercersburg, Pa, but the car was
not Gordon's car, They were of
the opinion the car had been stolen
also, but ownership had not been
established.
Fisher said the youth recognized
his picture but when asked what
