Production of Coal
And Clay Increases

Total coal and clay production
in Garrett county showed an in
crease in 1856 over the previous
year, as well as in the entire state.
In Garrett county there were
All ,846.O8 net tons produced as
compared to 324,80711 in 1855.
There were less miners, however,
the report showing only ZIG miners
in 1856 as compared to 249 in 1855.
A report recently issued by the
Maryland Bureau of Mines reveals
that coal production in the entire
state amounted to 64740917 net
tons in comparison to 523,90917 in
the previous year. Clay produc-
ton totaled 62,3S913 tons com
pared to 57,434 for the previous
year
The slight decline in employ
ment was as the result of techno-
logical advances, it was stated.
Production in Allegany county
was less, there being 75,563O9
compared to 199,1O2.O6 the previ-
Gus year.
The year 1856 was marked by a
complete absence of work stop
pages, and of fatal accidents.
There were IS students in night
mining classes in Kitzmiller and
81 in Frostburg. Among subjects
studied were mine ventilation,
surveying, map reading and gas
testing.

Better Planning For
Water and Sewerage
Will Be Required

More adequate planning of all
forms of community water supply
and sewerage services will be re-
CURED under policy statement
just issued by the Maryland State
Board of Health.
The action was found necessary
as a result of the frequency with
which the Health department has
been forced to deal, on an emer-
gency basis, with situations not
conforming with State laws or
regulations regarding the develop
ment of water supply and sewage
disposal facilities.
In tightening its enforcement of
requirements for advance planning
to insure adequate facilities in new
and growing communities, the
Board has placed renewed empha-
sis on the responsibility which
rests with local community Of
ficialS and developers. Those re-
ceiving copies of the official state
ment included state legislators,
county commissioners, officials OF
corporate communities, realtors,
consulting engineers and others
concerned with water and sewer
age facilities.
The Boards action is aimed at
correcting the following types of
circumstances with which it has
been faced on frequent occasions:
l, Continuing requests for eX-
tensions of sewers in communities
where inadequate consideration
has been given to the development
of sewage treatment plants.
2. Requests for permission to dis
charge raw or partially treated
sewage to streams as a means of
correcting sewage nuisances in in
adequately planned subdivisions,
when in reality the resultant eff
feet of stream pollution is fire.
quently worse than the original
condition.
3. Failure by local officials to
require builders to comply with
Board regulations regarding the
size of lots and individual water
supply and sewerage systems prior
to permitting filing of plats lie,
subdivisions plans and starting of
construction.
q. Community officials and real
estate developers proceeding with
construction of water supply and
sewerage services before having
received approval of plans and is
suance of construction permits.
5. Continual petitioning of the
Board by community officials and
real estate developers for precipi-
tous action on permits where fail
ure to study Board requirements
has produced situations involving
acute financial hardship and criti-
cal housing occupancy problems.
The department indicated that
full legal action would be brought
against all who fail to comply with
the required standards laid down
by the health department. 1t said
that due recognition of these fac
tors is particularly necessary in
small communities, where local Of
ficials and real estate developers
may not be fully aware of the prob
lens involved in providing ex-
banded community facilities for
mushrooming populations.
