Every day becomes clear that the vote last fall
whether not there shall be standard time daylight
saving time settled nothing whatever The particular word
ing in that law is causing the mxp and from the view
of today confusion is bound to reign effectively than
at any other time in the past several years.
We recount the facts. The bill on which there
referendum in November had the following provisions IF
majority of the persons voting said question shall vote
For Daylight Saving Time then this Act shall be mmedi
aey of full force and effect If majority of the
voting said question shall against Daylight Saving
Time then this Act shall be void and of further effect
This merely meant that if persons voted against day
light saving time then the situation existed had
existed prior to the election which also meant that ndvd
u communities could continue to be governed by the whm
of their elected mayors and councils Actually
that the County Commissioners also could make their
ruling either for against daylight time, except that
should they proceed to adopt daylight time they would
probably incur the i'll will of the 1912 who voted against
daylight time in the November referendum.
Already Oakland, Accident Frendsvile and Mt. Lake
Park have voted to adopt daylight time The county schools
will operate daylight time. Gransvle and Creln have
had daylight time for several years and will probably
tinue. There may be others.
The election tabuaton showed that citizens of Friends
vile, Swanton Bloomington, Sang Run, Deer Park, Bit
finger Kzmller Vindex, Creln Avilton and Mt. Lake
Park all voted against daylight time People charge that Gar
re countans drink wet but vote dry 1t looks like they also
desire daylight time but vote against it.
The only way we'll get this thing settled permanently
will be to have another referendum but with little teeth
in it. Word the referendum that majority of the
select daylight time then have daylight time all the
county, but they vote against it, then make mandatory
that all communities abide by the decision of the

Bill Would Hike
Fire Unit Payments

The Senate has received a dele
cation sponsored measure that
would increase allotments made
by the county to eight volunteer
fire departments.
Passed in the House Monday, the
bill authorizes and directs the COM
missioners to pay these sums to
these companies: Oakland, $500;
Grantsville, $500; Deer Park, Ac-
cident, Friendsville, Kitzmiller and
German, all $1,000; Bloomington,
81, 800.
H. D. Swartzentruber, Commits
sioner president, said the bill in
creases considerably the current
allotments. At present Oakland
gets 81 500; Grantsville, Deer Park,
Friendsville and Kitzmiller $1,000;
Accident, German and Blooming
ton all $500.
Some people were of the opinion
that it would be necessary to raise
the tax rate to take care of the
increases, should they pass.

Brown, director of the refugee pro-

portunity to be of some service to
these people. | returned to Karl
sruhe that night with a hope for
success in this project
l asked Chaplain Mashburn his
opinion of this idea and if he
thought we would be able to make
arrangements to distribute the
clothing if ! could &c them here.
He thought it would be fine and
suggested that l contact the SIS
Civil Affairs" office for necessary
information. l phoned the SIS Of

all clothing that could be collected
would be appreciated and that
there was a refugee camp in this
area.
l then wrote to my mother and
asked if she thought the people in
the community would be interested
in collecting clothes and sending
them over here for the refugees.
1t was approximately six weeks
later that the first bag of clothes
arrived. The next day another one

later that day visited them. l be-
came acquainted with Mr. Hoff-

at the report of two bags and when

he was quite surprised He then
made inquiries as to where the
camp was located and found it was
in Bruchsal which is about 20 kilo-
meters from here (Karlsruhe).
Mother had written that more bags
were on the way, l told MIR. Hoff-
ner this and suggested We wait a
while on the other bags.

Sen. Friend Charges
State Gas Monopoly

Senator Clifford Friend said Tues
day the present law enables the
Cumberland and Allegheny Gas
company to hold a virtual state
protected monopoly on gas delivery
in Western Maryland" according
to an Associated Press dispatch
from Annapolis
He told the House Agriculture
and Natural Resources Committee
that the company is trying to ex-
tend this monopoly to gas produc-
ton in the Accident field.
The senator spoke in behalf of a
bill, already through the Senate,
which would require that natural
gas and oil pipelines be made COM
mon carriers.
He said the c. and A. company
operates under a state charter Civ
ing it "a monopoly on distribution"
of gas to nearby consumers.
Friend said the company now
purchases gas produced by other
companies i'll the Mt. Lake Park
field but is attempting to monopo-
lie production in this countys
other gas producing area, the Acct
dent field.
He said small, independent drill
ers own leases in the Accident field
but do not work them because C..
and A. has not agreed to purchase
gas from them or rent pipelines to
them for transportation. He said
the independent drillers do not
build their own pipelines because
of the distribution charter held by
G. and A.
The gas company will give the
committee its side of the story next
Monday.

Jail Rated every
Clean And Sanitary

The Garrett County Jail was de-
clared to be in very clean and
sanitary condition." in the 18th re-
port of the Board of Correction
which has recently been made pub
lie.
But the inspector made his an
nual recommendation that the
prisoners from this county be re-
moved to Allegany county on per
diem or annual fee basis, leaving
the Oakland Jail to serve merely
as a county lookup. The inspector
maintains this recommendation
would be most economical for the
county in view of the fact that the
Jail count runs only from one to
four per day.
The county now maintains only
one active lookup, located at
Grantsville. Two of the county'S
former lockups, at Friendsville and
Kitzmiller, have been closed for
lack Of need.
The Jail was described as two
story building constructed in 1900.
The first floor is made up of nine
cells on the west side of the build
ing, each having two hunks. On the
east side there are eight cells with
two hunks each. There is also an
isolation cell on this floor for dis
turbed or disciplinary prisoners.
One shower with hot and cold water
serves both sides. Each of the cells
on the first floor has stool and
lavatory
On the second floor there are
three cells with two hunks and two
cells with four hunks for juveniles.
In the rear of the second floor is
large room approximately IL by 16
feet for women prisoners. 1t has
large double bed. In the rear there
is also another large room with two
beds for women. A small ante-room
separates these two areas for Wo-
mems quarters. On the west side
of the second floor there arc seven
cells for juveniles. A bath tub is
provided in the corridor for both
juveniles and females. Attached to
the Jail is the residence for the
sheriff and his deputy
Food is prepared and served by
the jailer's wife at 81 per day.
Prisoners are used only for Jail
maintenance. No outside work is
provided.
Paul w. Fisher is sheriff and
James Frantz is his deputy.
