derStOod that the before him for trial not

that the county had obtained value received for any
funds that had been spent with A. c. Brenneman and Son
for drilling operations this borne out when all the
parties concerned agreed to let John j. Breneman complete
his drilling contract at the stipulated price.
The Grand Jury of September, 1856 also declared it
had investigated thoroughly the possibility of violation of
the statutes of Maryland relating to the doing of business
with the County by the County Commissioners and after
considering all the evidence the jury declared of the
opinion that There criminal intention to violate
these laws So the matter has already been before the
grand jury and indictment returned Furthermore
the states attorney has legal authority to recall grand
jury Only the judge has that right under the laws of
Maryland The Of appeals decision has additional

not be construed contempt of court.
AT the time the original complaint filed against
the commissioners these two could very easily have
filed similar complaint against Roth for his activities in
taking money for the distribution of surplus foods but they

Letters to the Editor
Accident. Md.
March IS, 1857

Dear Editor:
After | read your paper last
week in regards to this so-called
d. S. r. l think it is high time
for some people to waken up to
the fact that D. S. T. was voted
out, so was whiskey. They are both
forces of evil and the work of Sa-
tan. They are thinking of spending
thousands of dollars of taxpayers
money for voting machines. Why
vote? If clique or few people
go ahead and do as they please.
you might just as well stay at
home. as ] heard some say you
would not know who would be put
into office.
d. S. T. is OF no advantage. We
go by Standard time most of the
year, why can't we go on Stand
ard time all year and end all this
confusion Children that have to
get up an hour earlier in the morn
ing are tired out and nervous by
the time they get to school. They
cannot do school work right Some
don't realize what job it is to
get children out so early in the
morning. The citizens of West Vir-
ginia voted out d. S. T. and have
backbone and good common sense
to stand back of what they voted
against. Some people think if they
have d. S. 7. other places we should
have it too. We do not need it.
If someone steals or jumps in the
lake, etc, that doesn't say that we
should do the same So lets stamp
out this evil before it takes root.
Let's work and pray to make Gar
rett county a better place to live in.
Thank you,
Charles E. BoWSer

To The Editor

A copy of a letter sent to the
Oakland Rotary club was received
by The Republican office.
Oakland Rotary Club,
Oakland, Maryland
Gentlemen:
Your organization is to be com
mended on the interest you have
aroused in the need of an airport
in the Oakland-Deep Greek Lake
area.
In the past two years l have dis
cussed this subject with the Gar
rett County Commissioners and on
at least four occasions have mailed
them literature printed by the Gov
eminent and C.. A. A. explaining
how those communities which do
not now have air facilities can OBJ
tain them with little or no expense.
Needless to say | have not met
with much success. Two of the
finest homes on Turkey Neck ES-
tates alone have been abandoned
in the past two years due to the the
lack of this facility. The owners
living even a short distance away,
Bedford, Pa, but there's a lot of
difference between two hours of
hard driving and 10 minutes in
their private planes.
The tax roll of Garrett county
will benefit tremendously as this
facility will bring those to the lake
who can better afford the nicer
homes on the lake. The last census
indicated $1,000 private and ex-
ecutive aircraft in the country and
this figure is making tremendous
increases each year.
If l can lend any assistance in
this move, financially or otherwise,
please do not hesitate to call on
me. Will return to the lake about
May 1st
Sincerely yours.

Gas Carrier Bill
Unfair, Says c. g A.

A spokesman for the c. and A.
Gas company told Il legislative
committee Monday that Il bill in
troduced by Senator Friend of this
county is wholly unnecessary,
probably invalid. wholly imprac-
teal and grossly unfair"
John W. Avirett, attorney for
c. and A., made the charges before
the House Agriculture and Ma
tural Resources committee which
deferred action on the senator's
proposal
The bill, already through the
Senate. would require that natural
gas and oil pipelines be made
common carriers.
Friend told the committee last
week that c. and A. holds virtual
state-protected monopoly" on gas
delivered in Western Maryland
and is trying to extend its mo-
nopoly" to gas production in the Ac-
cident field.
He said small, independent
drillers have purchased leases
from farmers in Accident field,
but do not work them because c.
and A. has not agreed to purchase
gas from them or rent pipelines
to them.
Avirett said his company has no
chartered monopoly" on gas pro-
duction or transportation. He said
the state protects if from compe-
tition in distribution TO domestic
consumers only as long as it meets
its obligations to the public and
abides by regulations of the Public
Service commission.
He said Friends proposal is
/ unnecessary" because the gas
company now buys gas from any
body in the county who produces
it in marketable quantity and Of a
quality we're allowed to sell"
Avirett said c. and A. does not
produce any gas in Accident field
but buys it all from the Snee and
Eberly drilling firm. Friend said
he believes but cannot prove that
Snee and Eberly is c. and A.
drilling arm" and that the two
companies are "One and the same
Avirett said that Snee and Eberly
is not lin any way regulated. con-
trolled or supervised by c. and A..
AVirett said Friends bill would be
invalid" because this field of
Legislation is already 'preempted"
! by the federal government through
the Federal Power Commission. He
also said such a law would violate
the due process clause of the
Constitution and that his company
will fight ii in court if it is enacted
The law would be Impractical"
Avirett said, because of the prob
lem of transmitting a fungible
substance such as natural gas. He
said the law would be unfair
both TO his firm and to the con-
sumers because it is aimed at only
one company and because it
would result in higher consumer
rates and might prevent certain
areas from getting all the gas
needed during peak transportation
periods.
Another speaker against the
principle of the bill was Harrison
Winter, representing the Trans
continental Gas Pipeline company.
Friend denied a charge by Avir-
EFT that he constantly harnesses"
the gas company He admitted that
the company has not refused to
buy gas from any producer, but he
said many lease holders hesitate
to spend 100000 to $4,000 in drill
ing in face of a possibility they
may not be able to get their gas
moved. He said independent drill
lers could sell their gas to indus
trial consumers despite C. and A.
domestic distribution charter.
Friend also denied a charge by
Avirett that the bill is his personal
