A damage suit for $4,000 brought
by Ray Right, of Mt. Lake Park
against the mayor and town coun-
Gil of that community has been re-
moved to the Circuit Court in Ale
gany county for trial.
Right, through his attorney, Ed
ward j. Ryan, charges that the
lake, known as Mt. Lake, located
on large piece of property owned
by him, has been contaminated by
sewage from the community.
The declaration states that dur
ing the installation and repair of
a sewage line the lake was polluted
from the sewage due to the negli-
gence in the sewer line work.
Right said that he had realized
substantial sum each year from
the lake from fees for swimming
and fishing paid by visitors. He
also said that after the sewage
polluted the lake the Garrett
County health officer ordered it
closed to both swimming and fish
ing.

serve as Garrett countys 1858
March of Dimes director, it was
announced by former United
States Senator George L. Rad
cliffe, Maryland chairman. Next

nearing successful completion but
that people could not forget the
obligation to the thousands who
are still in iron lungs, on rocking
beds, in wheel chairs, and on
crutches who still look to the
March of Dimes for their rehabili-
tation. The organization will at
tempt to raise S44,900,000 in 1858
to meet the quota.
A recent census of polio cases
throughout the United States in
dictates total of between 80 and
80 thousand persons still directly
dependent upon March of Dimes
assistance.
Mr.. Briner noted that last year
total of 1857 ,94O.1O was used in
direct aid to polio patients in the
state of Maryland, most of it 60
ing for rehabilitation.

Gas Company
Seeks Rate Hike

The Cumberland and Allegheny
Gas company today asked the Pub
lie Service Commission for a $685.
900 annual rate increase on its
Maryland operations.
The company said the proposed
increase would raise costs for a
customer using gas for cooking,
water heating and other non-heat-
ing uses 81 cents month, and SILL
a month over a years time for a
typical heating customer.
1t also filed a S665,O00 increase
from its West Virginia customers.
Russell H. Brown, manager of
the company's operations in Oak
land, said the company was basing
its applications on the financial re-
suits of its operations in the IL
months ending July 81. He said
the proposed rates are designed to
offset increases in costs the COM
pany has had to pay since the end
of 1855 in Maryland which include
higher labor costs and higher cost
of materials and supplies.
Under present rates a typical
customer using 5000 cubic feet of
gas a month for cooking, water
heating and clothes drying or re-
frigeration now pays $5.27. Under
new rates it would be S6.08. A
heating customer using another
10000 cubic feet year for heat
ing, now pays $4,000 a year Under
the proposed increase this would
cost $156. If one person used both
the increase would go from $203.64
to $22S.96.
The new rates will put gas heat
higher than the direct cost of coal
for heating but still some $65 to
$40 a year below the cost of oil.

sold up to as high as S45 each. All
of them were killed in Garrett
county Pagenhardt said. A number
of grouse illegally killed also were
delivered to the federal and state
men, it was stated.
Game law officers had wind of
the scheme over year ago that
wildlife was being killed in this
county and taken into Pennsyl-
vania and sold. Crossing of a state
line brought the case under the
jurisdiction of the federal govern
ment also so an officer of the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service and an
officer of the State Game and In
land Fish Commission were sent
to conduct the probe.
The two officers posed as real
estate men and made friends with
Carlos Friend, and during the year
made their various purchases. The
game was placed in cold storage
for use as evidence.
The States Attorney said he felt
sure that a number of other indi-
viduals were also involved in the
case, but that evidence thus far
had failed to turn up additional
persons. A search warrant of Mr..
Friends farm property near White
Rock last Saturday revealed two
additional deer hanging in a shed.
On hand for the filing of bond
on Monday were Joseph Minke,
regional game warden; Leo Friend,
Francis Ruge and Robert S. Brown,
game Wardens, and others. The
case, being the first of its kind in
the state, has created unusual in
tereSt. Officials said it is difficult
to obtain evidence in such cases.
