We look forward eagerly to the time when Garrett
county will elect four representatives to the General AS
emby who work together for the good county
Such is not the case.
The last session of the legislature just one example
We look at such pieces of legislation the attempt
force Of office roads engineer who for the most
part has done cedtabe work while in that position We look
at another that would have required re-audit books
the County Commissioners for the year 1854 that would
have cost the county between $4,000 no good
purpose We look at resolution that would have
less taken the affairs of the Board Forests and Parks
by Legislative group
We legislation introduced in the Senate that came
as complete surprise to the House of Delegates members
And there also legislation that originated in the House
that was just surprising to the Senator
Then there legislation presented concerning cleo
tive offices in the county without previous discussion
with people in those offices to whether the legislation
was worth while, necessary wanted.
This is not it should be. The bulk of the blame in
our opinion lies in the Senate. The Senator his in
dvidua way, dreaming up spite legislation in number
instances. We glad say that such legislation
properly killed in the House of Delegates The point is
however had these legislators been able around
conference table and talk things sensiby there would
be need for this constant bckerngback FORTH from
House to Senate and back again There should be harmony
in the ranks AS of accomplishment when one
side has a civil word for the other
Years ago when there controversy over timber cut
ting conservation of natural and the like the
Senator bucng the creation of forestry conervancy
board plea made for cooperation the Senator
made this remark Sure III be glad cooperate if they
it way To knowledge this mans attitude has never
changed. He cooperates only if they do it his way.
That is why believe will never have a smooth work
ing group Of Legislators until present Senator given
sound rubbing the polls. 1t remains tragedy for the
county that he will still represent another session of
the legislature.
