Board of Education
Discusses Matters
OF Legislation

Legislative matters came III Tor
much discussion at the regular
meeting of the Board of Education
on Tuesday.
A large delegation of patrons
from Southern High school headed
by William Rees, president of the
Southern High PIT. A, appeared
in the interest of an auditorium for
the school. The board favored the
auditorium and expressed the hope
it could be built in time out of in
come from Senate Bill $40.
The board went on record, how
ever, in stating the most urgent
needs were for an elementary
school at Oakland and on Route 40.
1t was also pointed out that APP
propriate enabling legislation would
have to be enacted before any long
term financing could be done by the
County Commissioners or the
School Board. 1t was stated this
might be done through statewide
bill now before the legislature, or
if this bill failed it would have to
be a local measure passed at the
next session since local bills cannot
be acted upon at the short session.
If local legislation is needed for
the use of the money from Senate
Bill $40 the Board has been advised
that not more than five hundred
thousand dollars could be borrowed
at this time, due to the present in
debtedness of the county.
The board voted unanimously to
send kilograms to the County Sen
ator and Delegates asking support
for the $500 across the board in
crease in salaries for teachers,
which is now pending in the Gen
cral Assembly The board said it
felt this was vital to the county in
making it possible to secure an ade-
quate number of competent teach
crs to fill vacancies which occur
annually.
Other action taken by the School
Board included the following:

Report Indicates
County Jail Kept
Clean and Sanitary

That perennial recommendation
that prisoners in the Garrett
County Jail be removed to Allie
gany county and that the Garrett
county Jail be used only as lock-
up, has been made once again in
the report of the Board of Correc-
ton for 1855.
The same recommendation has
been made for the past several
years, but fails to receive support
from Garrett county.
Once again also the Jail was
found to be in a clean and SAM
tary condition. This report also has
been the same over the past several
years, the conditions at the Jail
always being found in that condi-
ton.
The Jail is under management of
the sheriff who is assisted by his
deputy Food is furnished by the
sheriff on a contract basis at the
rate of 81 per day. This was
changed this past year by action
of the County Commissioners who
deemed the legal charge of 80
cents a day as unsound. The Board
of Correction also declared the
rate unSound, with the small num-
Der of prisoners usually being held.
The average daily count during the
past year was 4.
The Board declared the entire
jail was in need of painting and
urged that the security screens be
overhauled and repaired as contra
band was struggled into the jail.
The Board reported that three
meals per day were served and
that there were no complaints as
to the food. 1t was found to be good
and plentiful
The space set aside for women
prisoners was considered more than
adequate to take care of needs and
that it was possible to keep youth
full offenders on the second floor
completely isolated from other
prisoners.

Counties May Share In
State Cos Revenues

Counties of Maryland would
share in any revenue obtained
from the sale Of natural Gas on
statc-owncd land, according TO a
bill introduced Tuesday in the
State Senate
Senate Bill 1O8, proposed by Sen.
Clifford Friend, calls for the state
to give Is percent of any revenue
from the sale of gas or oil by the
state from any of its parks or for
csts TO the county where this gas
or oil is located.

Progress Noted On
Gas Drilling Bill

Some progress toward a work
able bill to regulate gas and oil
wells in Maryland was reported
this week from the Maryland legis-
lature.
1t was predicted that a bill would
be passed that would not be per-
feet legislation but a good start to-
ward something that the people do
not have.
A delegation of interested Gar
rett county residents on Tuesday
presented proposed amendments
in Annapolis to a proposed bill. At
the end of the hearings Senator
Malkus of Dorchester county, chair
man of the Judiciary committee
considering the bill, said he be-
lieved his group would move the
measure to the floor early next
week
AS approved by the Legislative
Council, the bill would give the
Department of Geology, Mines and
Water Resources authority to regu-
late the drilling, spacing and cap
ping of wells. No regulations now
apply to such operations.
DR.. Joseph T. Singewald, direc-
tor of the department, told the
committee he felt the bill is
reasonably good" But he said a
provision calling for $1,000 bond
to be posted by drillers was in
adequate. 1t was explained tat in
some cases it might cost $500 to
properly seal an abandoned well
to prevent the pollution of fresh
water supplies.
The bond in such cases should
be at least as high as the eSti-
mated cost of sealing the we'll, said
Singewad, to discourage forfeiture
of the bond as the cheaper of two
alternatives.
G.. Emerson Bishoff, president of
the Garrett County Farm Bureau,
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark Schlossnagle,
of near Friendsville, and Foster
Yost, Accident, appeared before
the committee to suggest safe
guards for owners of small tracts
of land
AS drawn the bill would prohibit
the drilling of a well within 500
feet of a property line without the
consent of the adjoining property
owner, or in special cases, the con-
sent of the Geology Department.
Bishoff and the Schlossnagles
contended that this could shut
out" a small property owner by pre-
venting him from drilling alto
gether, while gas in field running
beneath his land and a neighbor's
is drawn only by the neighbor
"On the other hand" said Mrs.
Schlossnagle, we don't feel the
small property should be allowed
to draw off more gas than the big
one either
They proposed an arrangement
under which the department would
set up minimum acreage on which
drilling would be permitted, with
small property owners being given
the right to pool their land when
necessary to make up the mini
mum.
Each property owners share in
the benefits from the underground
field would then be based on the
area of his tract as compared with
the total area of the entire land
