The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1958-10-16
The Citizens Of Garrett County.

Our Party Candidate for Governor has told that
of his first aims will be attract industry into
If elected, will gladly cooperate in this with
special emphasis upon attracting industry to Garrett
County.
During the coming four years County will see
road construction under the Twelve Year State
Roads than have in the past because
the Twelve Year program is just beginning to get into full
swing. Various problems will arise that will require
full study and corrective legislation At the present
time than half of the working the contrac-
tors constructing roads in County from
States committee has been appointed to hold hearings
and make recommendations to remedy this situation AS
Chairman of that committee expect hold hearings
Cumberland and perhaps in Oakland cannot foretel
what recommendations the Committee will make. Person
ally am convinced that ought to enact law that will
require the successful bidders construction jobs
by the State to employ local residents in far the local
labor supply will suffice Provided however, that the
bidders permitted bring their own super
vsory force not to exceed 10 percent of the total
poyed.
Coal is of important products. Deep mining
and strip mining provide employment for several hundred
portion coal produced here shipped
to State institutions where is used for heating but
during the past several there has been tendency
to the heating equipment in State buildings
to the OF OIL instead of coal Your Representatives in
Garrett County and Alegany County, have been doing
everything possible to stop this practice We have had
in this, but if elected intend
my efforts in this direction To this end will introduce
a Bill to require that all equipment purchased for
this purpose must be coal burning equipment especially
buildings BY using coal for heating our many State
owned buildings, instead of OIL taxpayers
can be saved many thousands of dollars each year.
I believe that Fish Game Officials can sup
ply many more fish to stock streams than
getting This Department does not receive funds
from the State 1t operates funds received
sale of licenses and fines and Federal funds However,
they have recently increased the license return
Tor this, people better fishing
shall do everything possible to get them to stock
streams heavily and stock all streams in our
county that will support fish life, including the Yough
River below the Power House l will also cooperate with
interested at the Lake in trying to establish bet
ter conditions there
There is also need for further study of
Natural Gas law which passed in 1856. The law
have approved by Garrett County Farm
Bureau, and did the best could in the light
dtons at that time and in the face of strong opposition
from lobbyists from the drilling companies. THE LAW
panes here have refused to drill unless
signed untzaton pooling agreements getting
utilization agreements from the farmers for large POOLS the
drilling companies have in most set up their wells
in of the untitled lands to adjoining
lands not in the pool the law will permit The pre-
vents them from coming closer than 1000 feet The
does not require land agree these large pools
However, where large pools agreed upon the land
[ believe the law should be amended to require
that the we'll be drilled somewhere
pool in order make the gas
the lands included in the pool instead of from adjoining
lands not in the pool If elected, will call meeting
interested citizens consider if changes in the law
would be helpful
