of her 1862 refund But the inter

of one per cent to say nothing of
the loss of value of her money

She has a few questions:
l. "Why should | have to wait
10 years for my 1862 tax refund?"
2 What is the point of offering
bonds as tax refunds"
3 Purchase price is the same
for all. Why charge me for the

She checked with the local rev.
cnuc office and was told it was a
mistake So she wrote to the Dis
trict office, and received a letter
back indicating there was no mis-
take and that's the way it should
be figured.
She's still trying to get back the
rest of her refund, either in bonds
or money.

mining operation in the two coun-
ties.
The importance of good water
to the economy of the area was
stressed by Rubleman. He said one
mile of fishablc stream generally
is regarded to be valued at 81 600
per year to sections economy
Figures show that there are APP
proximatcly 100 miles of polluted
streams which could be made fish
able
To back up these figures, the
top quality of Deep Creek Lake
water was cited, with the resultant
economy built from its rccrcational
advantages
Schcll pointed out that stream
pollution problems would remain
for some time, as he estimated coal
reserves in the two counties would
last another 50 years.
Schell pointed out that his bureau
has the power to refuse strip min
ing permits to irresponsible opera
tors, and can also stop any opera
tor who violates the mining laws.
He explained the amendment to
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1963-07-18

the strip mining law made in the
1868 General Assembly, and said
they pertain only to Garrett coun-
ty.
AS a result of the law, county
strip miners must furnish $500 an
acre bond instead of $500 as it is
in Allegany.
Also, in lieu of backfilling, the
operator may provide pond in
the pit formed by the mining
He said that during the past year,
112 strip mining permits we're is
sued in Maryland, with 40 of them
completed, 20 forfciting bonds,
and the remainder still being
operated.
There was discussion at the
meeting on the difference between
mine acid control in deep and
strip mines.
The strip operations create water
accumuIations where the sulphur
acids form This can be controlled
by proper drainage, ditching the
high walls and prevention of water
accumulatiOns.
Deep mines must have all en-
frances, including air shafts sealed.
This is a more expensive method
of control, it was explained

New "Skin Gome?"

We thought we'd encountered

ing hearts of government are not

A woman reports she had S75.24
due as a refund on her 1862 fed
cral income taxes, and she was
offered a choice of taking the
money or u. S. bonds. Since she
did not propose to spend the
money right away, she said she
would take the refund in bonds.
After the normal wait, she re-
ccivcd a S25 maturity valuc) bond
and a $50 maturity bond, plus a
check for S424
1t didn't seem just right so she
did a little figuring, not being a
product of the current non-count-
ing school programs. Since a S25
maturity bond has a cost of S1875
and a $50 bond costs originally
only $37 so, her figures indicated
she was receiving only S6047 in
stead of the S7524 she had COM
ing. If she waited 10 years for the
bonds to mature she would receive

Arlington Jury
Indicts Officer on
Extortion Charge

An Arlington grand Jury has
indited a county policeman on
a charge of attempted extor-
ton.
Pvt. Marcel Eugene Levavas-
seur, 81, was accused April Is
of attempting to extort from
a laborer in a car. The police
man had stopped the car al
legedly for speeding.
In an investigation directed
by Police Chief william Faw-
yer, Arlington authorities said
the patrolman noted three men
and a woman in the car and
suggested that one of them
could be guilty of adultery. Po-
lice said they were told the
laborer gave Levavasseur a $50
check to avoid q serious charge
in the matter.
The police private, who
maintained his innocence, was
suspended from the force and
was held on $1,000 bond after
his arrest.
The grand jury returned the
Levavasseur indictment yester-
day along with l6 other true
bills.
