Fire Damages Home

Fire causcd by some grease
which spilled over on the kitchen
stove, was blamed for an extremely
hot blaze last evening about 9:15
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
Bittinger, Ninth street.
The home, owned by Ralph
Pritts, was a metal covered dwell
ing and the blaze generated dense
smoke and unusual heat.
1t was brought under control by
the Oakland firemen who we're
called to the scene Firemen esti-
mated damage to the extent of
some $500 on the house and $1,000
on the contents.
When Mrs. Bittinger, who was
watching television at the time,
realized there was a fire she quick
ly called the department, gathered
up her two children and ran out
side.
Oakland firemen also we're called
about 7:10 last evening when a
1916 Plymouth automobile owned
by Eddie Stolzenbach, became
ablaze as the result of a tight
brake. There was only slight dam
age.

Credit Bill MAY
Wait For Study

Prospects grew stronger yester-
Gay that the highly controversial
proposal to regulate the credit
operations of retail stores will be
shunted off to the Legislative
Council.
One member of the House Judici-
airy committee which is currently
studying the bill said ne would
ask that the senate passed bill be
sent to the between sessions arm
of the general assembly
He also believed that enough
members of the committee wanted
to have more information on the
subject which in its present form
would limit to one percent the
amount retail stores could charge
for servicing revolving credit ac-
counts.
The bill would also allow mcr-
chants to charge only $40 for serv-
icing installment accounts up to
$1,000 and So for those over $1,000.
Merchants are opposed to the
present form of the bill because
they say they will be unable to
operate the credit accounts at
such low rates.

Halted By Hassle

A S45 900 spat developed Wednes-

ment and conference committee

ment at their first meeting. The

ture three days before the Sched-
uled end of the session. That

amendment put on after it had
passed the budget bill Monday.

the daily expense allowance from
$50 to $50 for the legislative coun-
Gil and its committees.

sions Of the legislature they re-
ceivc $50 a day expenses and their
yearly salary is 81 800. Each sena-
tor has a secretary at $12 a day

and $1,000 for the president to
pay for help While at home i'll the

County May Get
Greater Percent
OF Forest Funds
Bill Designating 5000 In
stead Of 1870 Nay Be
Enacted This Week

Senate Bill AGA, which would pro-
vide additional revenue for Gar
rett County from the reserve fund
Of the Department of Forests and
Parks, was engineered through
the Maryland Senate by State Sena-
tor Spencer w. Graham, and he
was hopeful early this week that
il would be enacted by the House
Ct Delegates during the final week
Of the legislature.
The bill specifically states that
80 percent of the revenue derived
from sale of forest products on
state land and placed in a reserve
fund of the Department of For
ests and Parks, would be turned
over to the County Commission
ers of Garrett County. Prior to
the introduction of this bill the
county was receiving only Is per-
cent of the fund. This amounted
last year to $3.50.
The commissioners and legislators
had maintained that the amount
should be greater to take care of
road maintenance and snow re-
moval on county roads running
through state forest land The bill
might make it possible. if enacted
and signed by Governor Tawes, to
receive $4,000 or more.
Senator Graham said the 80 per.
cent revenue provided in the bill
is not carmarked for any specific
purpose and would be turned over
to the general treasury of the
county for exclusive use by the
County Commissioners This could
be used for snow removal, road
maintenance. or some other need
thus relieving the taxpayers to this
extent.
Senator Graham said the bill haC
passed the End reading in the
House and was scheduled for &
third reading early in the week
He said he was hopeful it would
be enacted and signed by the
governor. He said members of the
House of Delegates as well as
many other citizens Of the county
had cooperated fully in presenting
the problem to the lawmakers.
