State Line Divides
Farm And Dwelling

Most people have little or no
trouble in filling out home adj
dresses on mail but this task could
prove quite a headache for Mr..
and Mrs r. l.. Mcconnell, who
own a farm, part in West Virginia,
and part in Maryland, and who
have a state line dividing their
farm house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcconnell, who
live on the GAINESVILLE road be-
tween Oakland and Terra Alta,
own l24 acres of land and a dwell
ing. the latter being split half and
half by the Maryland-West Vir-
ginia state line.
The couple has two more acres
of land in Garrett county than in
Preston county, w. Va. They pay
taxes in both states. Mcconnell
says that if he could select the
state in which he would pay taxes
he would choose West Virginia.
The tax rate is about the same but
the evaluation of the half of his
farm in Maryland is three times
the cvaluation of the West Vir-
ginia part
The McConnclls cook and eat
their meals in West Virginia and
entertain and sleep their friends
in Maryland. Two bedrooms are
located in Maryland and two in
West Virginia.
The McConnells say that if they
had children in school they would
send them to Maryland schools,
not because Maryland has better
schools necessarily. but because
