Shaw's "Misalliance'
Next at Playhouse

George Bernard Shaw'S 1910
play. 'Misalliance," is the next
booking at the Garrett County
PLAYHOUSE, and will be presented
Tuesday through Saturday eve
nings at next week at $50.
One of the surprise hits of the
theatrical season in New York, the
play is a long-neglected but slim
ulating one which ran for all OF
three performances when it was
first produced on the London stage
in 1910.
The success of the revival en-
abled it to move to Broadway after
an initial, widely-praised presenta-
ton at the New York City Center.
Whatever the reasons for this
late acclaim, the production in 1858
was the first professional presenta-
ton in the United States since 1917
and won the unstinting praise Of
New York reviewers.
In this comedy of an English
country family, John Fisher plays
Mr.. Tarleton, a wealthy under
wear manufacturer, and the host
for the incredible weekend party
Judith Wiemken is Mrs. Tarle-
ton, Peggy Lewis plays Hypatia
their daughter, who is a girl with a
decided mind of her own.

Gas Production
Shows Big Drop
In TbreeMOnths
County Receives $l6,627.75,
More Than $4,000 Less
Than Previous Report

Rejecting a seasonal decline in
gas usage, the quarterly report of
production from local field, re-
ceived yesterday, showed that 917,-
$4,000 cubic feet had been taken
frcm the wells, compared 10 1852 =
$4,000 for the first three months Of
the year. The report this week COW
cred the months OF April, May and
June.
The decrease was reflected in
the amount of the check received
from the gas companies by the
County Commissioners as its share
of the seven percent tax on mar
ketable gas.
During the first quarter, the
check amounted to S24,83273; this
time the total was S1662775. The
total wholesale value of the gas
produced was 1921, 1920.
Thirty-eight wells were listed as
producing gas, the same number
as the previous report. Seventeen
wells were listed under joint
names of o. Eberly with 46875
percent; Robert Eberly, 06250 per-
cent; William f. Snee, 45.31 per-
cent and L. N. Murray, 1852 per-
cent.
These wells again were the big
gest producers with the most pro
ductive being the Bowser well with
21S, $4,000 cubic feet.
Next on the list was the Barbara
Miller well with 114,196,00O cubic
feet. Other large producers were
Earl Knox, 76,44S,OOO Herman and
Hanlin, 74,677,OOO and Black and
Frazer, 62,560,OOO.
The Norris X. Welch well, which
was the areas first producer, is
still in the running, supplying over
nine million cubic feet during the
quarter.
The check is the third one to be
received by the Commissioners
this year, and brings the total for
1860 to S63 $685.. One more check
is to be expected covering produc-
ton during July, August and Sep
TENDER. The check for the fourth
quarter of 1860 will not be received
until 1861.
The first $4,000 in any one year
goes toward liquidation of the
school Indebtedness. The next S25,-
900 goes toward expenses of the
local hospital and any amour;
above $4,000 goes into fund fol
new school buildings, repairs, OF
additional new construction.
A percentage of the total re-
ceived by the Commissioners goes
to incorporated towns if a produc.
ing well is located within the cor
porate limits.
Since the first check for the
tax on the marketable gas was re-
ceived by the Commissioners il
July, 1851, the countys governing
body has received S5O9,9O962.
The complete report of the pro
Ji1ction nv wells for the ninety
day period is shown in tabular
form in today's issue.

Construction Contracts Signed Monday
Largest Project
In Towns History
Now Underway
Completion Of Four Phases
Of Work Expected
In 800 Days

Two actions this week cleared
the way for the most ambitious and
expensive project ever undertaken
by the Town of Oakland
The first was an announcement
that the towns S45OOO0 water bond
issue had been sold to investors,
and the second was the signing of
contracts for construction of the
plant and related projects.
Alexander Brown and Sons, of

chosen to handle sale of the bonds,

sue had been completely sub
scribed through various under
writer's, with one firm contracting
for 100000 worth Of the securities

interest rate of 4.1079 percent,
which was considered very good"

municipal securities

are serially maturing beginning
with the first maturity in 1862 and
continuing until 1891. They are in
denominations of $1,000.
The First National Bank of Oak
land will act as registrar for the
bonds, and both principal and in
terest are payable at their offices
in Oakland.
Contracts Awarded
Following sale of the bonds, town
officials lost no time in signing
contracts for construction work, on
which bids had been opened June
16.
Four separate firms are involved
in various phases of the work,
which will result in a completely
new and enlarged water source for
the town and surrounding area.
Contract No l, calling for con-
struction of a raw water intake
and pumping station, on the
Youghiogheny River, went to j.

town and its water problems for
many years.

Nixon Nominated
On First Ballot

Richard Nj. Nixon was put in
nomination for the presidency at
the Republican National Conven-
ton Wednesday night ON the first
round of balloting.
Nixon, who had been assumed
for some time to have the nomina-
ton in the bag, encountered only
token opposition as the Republican
delegates state after state chanted
their votes for his nomination.
Previously, the long-debated Re-
publican platform was adopted
without a hitch and without a
floor fight-a circumstance which
had been feared by some party
leaders.
The declaration of party princi-
ples-the COPS answer to the re
volutionary turbulence that is
wracking the world"-represented
merger of conflicting views
along lines Nixon wanted.
1t sailed through the convention
with only a feeble chorus of mo
votes. The threat of a fight over
the touchy civil rights issue had
evaporated, even though the plank
on the racial issue was the strong
est the Republicans ever accepted
The platform stands by the guild
ing principles of the Eisenhower
administration but promises any
necessary increase in defense
spending.
Nixon stood out alone, with moth
ing more than token challenge
TO his nomination in the offing.
Dead certain of his own future
with the party, the vice president
named four men as front runners
for nomination to second place on
his ticket, although he said other
men would be considered.
Henry Cabot Lodge, who talks
tough to the Russians as U. 5.
ambassador to the United Nations,
headed the list, although Nixon
specified no priority.
On it, too, were Sen. Thruston
B. Morton, of Kentucky, the Re
publican national chairman; Rep.
Waiter II. Judd of Minnesota, who
spanked the fire with his keynote
speech to the convention Monday;
and Secretary of the Treasury Rob-
ert B. Anderson. a Texas Democrat
who was converted into an Essen
hover Republican eight years ago
To degree probably unparal-
leled in history for man seeking
the political summit for the first
time. Nixon had a firm, controlling
grip on his party and its conven-
ton.
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, OF
New York, the one man who might
have given Nixon a run for the
nomination, threw his arms around
the vice-president's shoulder and
pledged his all the way support
of the Nixon cause.
Sen. Barry >Goldwater, of Ari-
IONA, who is coming out OF the
convention as the new champsion
of the COP conservation wing, fol-
lowed Rockefeller's lead in an
nouncing he would withdraw his
name if it were placed in nominal
ton for the presidency. This vetoed
the desires of a loyal following IN
Arizona, South Carolina and Mis-
sissippi.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
made farewell appearances at party
gatherings before stepping OF
stage. to leave it all to the man
he groomed for his successor.
