Commissioners Get
More Data On Dams

County Commissioners from Gar
rett and Allegany counties OBJ
tanned additional information last
Friday afternoon on the proposed
construction of three new dams in
the Upper Potomac River water
shed and concluded it would be
appropriate to have more federal
money spent on the projects.
The discussion following a
luncheon meeting conferred around
1858 report of Joseph d. V. c..
Birrell, of the Washington district
of the Corps of Engineers in which
he proposed three additional dams
in this area, one on the North
Branch of the Potomac, second
dam on Savage River, about one
mile upstream from the present
one, and another dam on Stoney
river in West Virginia, south of
route so.
Most concern was expressed
about portion of the report
which said that the financing of
the Potomac River dam would cost
local interests in Maryland and
West Virginia about S1,500000 a
year for the next so years. Natu-
rally, none of the commissioners
was inclined to commit his county
to any such large scale eXpendi-
lures.
One of the most immediate re-
suits of the tWo-county conference
will be an effort to get U. S. Sena-
tor j. Glenn Beall, Representatives
John r. Foley and Harley o. Stag
gers to meet with the county com
miSSioners. An effort then would
be made to get the federal gov
eminent to assume a larger share
of the cost Mr.. Birrell's report
had recommended that the states
and local governments together
pay more than half of the cost.
Greatest local interest was in
the proposed second Savage River
dam. The prospect of using this
water for water supply for the
Georges creek area and Potomac
Valley as far as CrcsaptoWn was

State Property Tax
Lowered One Cent

Property owners in Maryland
received an unexpected tax break
yesterday.
The Board of Public Works set
the State tax on property for next
year at 1875 cents per 500 of as
sessment That will be penny
lower than had been fixed by the
Legislature earlier this year
Since that time the reserve fund
for paying off bonds has been in
creased by transfers and other I'M
forseen receipts so that lower
rate was made possible.
All the State property tax is
used to pay off current debts for
capital improvements. The rate
this year was 1912.

Second Trip To s'CNt ROcES
Produces Fossil Footprints

The second trip to Cat Rocks ),
on the spine of backbone mountain,
in an isolated section of the county,
two miles southwest of Table Rock
has produced some plaster casts
for proof of the existence of fos-
sill footprints of a big cat and her
kittens"
The existence of these fossil foot
prints has been known for quite
number of years. Clyde c. Gnegy
saw them as a boy and he returned
there i'm May of this year with
three other persons for another
look.
This past Sunday there were
twcrty-threc in the group that
made the trek to the spot in an
area between Gnegy Church and
Red Oak. They travelled by auto
mobile as far as they could then
proceeded to walk the remaining
mile on more through dense under
brush and around large boulders.
Dennis Rasche, of the Garrett
County Historical society, leader of
the group, said the imprints are
in the Pottsville formation, hard
type of sandstone, and are on a
rock about 60 feet long, 10 to 30 feet
wide. and tilted with the slope of
the mountain. The spot would not
be more than a mile from Hoye
Crest, which is the highest point
in Maryland, along The same spine
of Backbone Mountain, to the
southwest.
The prints look ike that of d
large panther They are some four
inches long and one-half to three
quarters of an inch deep. There are
numerous kitten tracks also in
the same rock. Plaster casts were
made of both the big and little
prints and also photographs taken.
Mr.. Rasche said there are other
such tracks in the Potomac Valley
The find was reported years ago to
the Smithsonian Institute in Wash
ington by Ernest c. GnCgy. Rasche
there are no dinosaur tracks in this
county but that there are signs
of them in the Connecticut river
valley, in northern eastern United
States. He has the feeling it would
be great tourist attraction, if the
area was made more accessible. Mr..
Rasche plans an extended article
about the trip in a future issue of
The Glades Star, publication of the
Historical society. The plaster casts
of the prints will be turned over
to the society.

Destruction of Road
Signs Is Continuing

The attention directed by the
County Roads department to the
great amount of destruction and
damage to the cOunty'S road mark
ers, apparently has had little eff
feet, according to Darrell Wotring,
county roads supervisor.
The supervisor revealed the de-
struction in a story on August 13
and said at that time he would
like to make taxpayers conscious
of the thousands of dollars OF
expense each year because of the
thoughtlessness of individuals who
are bent on destruction.
Signs are continuing to be shot
full of holes, bent and twisted out
of shape until they are no longer
fit for use. Some even have been
stolen.
Most of these signs cost about
$3.50 each to replace. He re-
minded people once again that
they are simply destroying their
own property. ut isn't the County
Commissioners who pay. 1t is tho
taxpayers he said.
He called attention to the penal
ty for malicious destruction OF
property. There can be as much
as $500 fine and a year imprison-
ment, if the offenders are arrested
and convicted
Wotring said he was still hope
full that persons would realize The
importance of keeping the county
well marked.
