Vandals Still Busy
Defacing Road Signs

Vandals are still desecrating
county roads signs, and at the pres
ent time some IS percent of these
signs have been defaced or en-
tirely destroyed, according to Carl
Schell, president of the County
Commissioners.
The Commissioners and the Deep
Creek Lake-Garrett County Pro-
motion Council, Inc. arc cnlisting
the aid of public spirited citizens
in an attempt to stop this destruc-
ton
Schell said the signs were erected
at cost of So 500 during the past
year as a needed convenience to
county visitors as we'll as residents.
County maps have been revised to
comply with the new road signs.
The damage appears to be most
ly from gun shots and stonins
and the DETACHMENT is particularly
heavy during hunting season.
Mr.. Schell urged that if any
person was seen damaging the
signs, to please report the act to
the shcriffs office or the nearest
law enforcement officer, giving
identity of the person or persons
involved. The fine for convic-
ton is 5000 or 80 days in jail DC
both at the courts discretion.

No Problems Trouble
municipalities, The
Legislators Are Told

No problems seemed to be
troubling the mayors of incorpo-
rated towns, or so it appeared when
members of the Maryland LegiS-
lative Council met last Saturday
night at Point View Inn on Deep
Creek Lake.
Each year some twenty or more
members of the Legislative coun-
ell take a weekend for relaxing at
Deep Greek Lake and while here
have indicated their interest in
hearing about community prob
lens. However, last Saturday night
only three mayors showed up at
~ meeting, and only a few citi-
zens, according to State Senator
Bernard |. Gender, Sr.
Spokesman for the communities
represented informed the Legisla-
tive Council they had mo prob
lens to be considered and eX-
pressed thanks for being invited
to meet with the between sessions
arm of the Legislature.
Proprietor of a county tavern
appeared before the legislative
council to protest what he
termed discrimination" in the is
suance of liquor licenses.
Lou Cornish, proprietor of Cor
nish Manor, told the council he
was spokesman for those who
are unable to obtain licenses be-
cause of the Garrett voting dis
trict regulation.
There are Garrett countians,
Cornish said, who would like to
obtain liquor licenses but are I'M
able to qualify since they reside
in Districts where it was voted
down. He advocated that licenses
be granted on countrywide basis
instead of by district
Del. A. Gordon Boone, majority
floor leader, who presided at the
session, told Cornish it was an
entirely local matter and should
be taken up with the Garrett coun-
ty delegation. He also explained
that local measures customarily
were not considered during the
short" terms of the General As
sembly. The next session will be
a short one of thirty days instead
of the every other year 90-day
session.
