some $4,000 for discounts, insol-
vencies, etc, allowed taxpayers.
The tax basis is almost two mil
lion dollars higher than last year

proximately $4,000 includes I'M
collected taxes of $99,46177 auto
mobile license fee taxes of $50,OO0
beer tax of $4,000, the county's
share of income tax of $4,000, and
other lesser items. Cash on hand

Ice Skating Good
At School Pond

Ice skating was considered al
most ideal this week at the pool
on the Southern High s"hool
grounds, at the Marsh Mountain
ski tow, and on Mountain Lake. 1t
was the first time in years that
any ponds other than Mountain
Lake were available to people and
they were taking advantage of the
opportunity in large numbers.
Monday evening over two hun
dred we're skating on the pond at
the high school This area was
cleared out this past summer and
covers an acre or more. 1t is about
six feet deep at its deepest point.
There have been a number of
skaters on the Marsh Mountain
pond, just below the skiing area.
There were possibilities another
pond would be available near the
Golf course. This was discussed
at meeting of the City Council
on Monday night but no official ac-
ton taken. Two years ago the city
bull-dozcd out an area on Mason
street but the depression would
not hold water.
The pond at the high school has
been well filled each afternoon and
evening since the cold weather put
smooth coating of ice on the
pond one day last week.

Confers On Proposed
Airport In County

F. A. brennan, director Of the
State Aviation Commission, was
in Oakland Tuesday to confer with
the County Commissioners and
Mayor Russell Smith of Oakland
regarding a proposed airport for
Garrett county.
Necessary procedure for federal
participation and the possibility of
state participation we're the prin-
cipal subjects of the conference.
Mr.. brennan pointed out the need
for many more aircraft landing
fields in the United States which
was confirmed by the President S
Civil Air policy report. The report
declared The American people
have accepted the airplane as a
primary means of travel. Within
the space of one generation aVia-
ton has become a major force in
passenger transportation and is
rapidly developing a wholly new
medium for swift movement.
The phenomenal growth of pub
lie acceptance of aviation has built
a major new industry to strength
en- further our national economy.
The public interest now requires
that the benefits of air transpor-
tation in all its forms be made
available" DR.. brennan empha
sized, Every community large or
small needs access to the airWays.'

Winter. Sports Dominate Area AcliUiGies
500 Skiers Flock To Marsh
Mountain Over Past
Weekend

The ski slope at Marsh Mountain
was crowded over the weekend by
several hundred persons who en-
JOY the winter sport. 1t ushered in
what is expected to be a record
season for the entire area.
Helmuth Heise, of the Garrett
County-Deep Creek Lake Promo
ton Council, said some 500 skiers
in all were on the slopes on Satur-
day and Sunday. There were over
300 paid admissions and over 100
skiing who had family season tick
cts. He said it was the largest
crowd in the tWo-year existence of
the slope, and with coming of adj
ditional snow and the availability
of manufactured snow if necessary,
Heise said the officers we're look
ing forward to ten or more sue
cessful week-ends.
People from Baltimore and
Washington used the excursion
train for the first time this year
and larger numbers were expected
to take advantage of the special
rates from now on to the end of
the season. People we're learning
that there was skiing at Marsh
Mountain when it was not available
at any other place in the cast.
Hcise said that the artificial
snow made a good base, that it
was powdcry and not icy and had
received favorable comment from
some expert skiers from the larger
cities. They made additional arti-
fetal snow on Sunday night, but a
four-inch snowfall on Tuesday and
Wednesday made it unnecessary
for the compressor to make any
additional amount. The snoW-mak-
ing equipment will be used
throughout the winter, when neces-
sary, and plans call for maintain
ing a base of at least two feet of
snow on the slope.
The snow on the mountain over
the past weekend ranged from 10
inches to two feet in depth.
Many spectators were on hand in
addition to those skiing. All we're
using the warming nut and making
business good for the proprietor,
Lonnic Long. Hcise said both the
warming hut and the ski repair
shop would have to be enlarged
again next year The capacity of
the warming hut was doubled just
this year.
Motel proprietors reported many
reservations last weekend and that
they we're heavy for the coming
weekend Interest was increased
also by the announcement of the
state ski championships on the
slope February l and ?.
Lights were installed in time for
skiing on Wednesday evening.
Heisc said he hoped there would
be enough interest in the sport so
that the tow could operate on We'd
ncsdays through Sundays.
The operating schedule is as
follows:
Wednesdays, 7 p. m. to 10 p. m;
Thursdays, IL a. m. to 4:30 p. m;
/ Fridays, II a. m. to 4:30 p. m. and
p. m. to 10 p. m; Saturdays and
Sundays, 8 a. m. to 4:30 p. m;
Mondays, II a. m. to 4:30 p. m,
Skiing conditions also we're re-
ported good on the upper tow of
Cabin Mountain near Davis, w.
