Weather Moderates
After Bitter Cold

The clear but bitter cold weather
which partially numbed the area
for several days appeared to be
changing to moderate but there
were still national reports that
further zero temperatures were in
the offing with possible snow
flurries.
The most diSagreeable time of
the week was on Saturday when
sleet made the streets and high
ways slippery and dangerous for
travel of any kind. This later
turned to rain but did not help
any along the sidewalks. They re-
manned slippery throughout the
day.
The temperature dropped for
Sunday and although it remained
mostly clear it was windy and
quite blustery. A one below zero
reading was observed Monday and
skies remained mostly clear. Only
slight change for the better was
noted Tuesday with a two above
zero reading in early morning. 1t
remained clear and cold.
There was an increased change
for the better by Wednesday with
the mercury at above in early
morning and warming tempera-
lures during the day up to 20 de-
grees. This morning there was
8 above reading and the mercury
quickly slipped up to 26 degrees
by 10 O'Clock with the skies re-
naming clear.
Schools reopened Wednesday
without difficulty with only one
bus failing to make the trip. The
Kempton area bus got stuck in a
snow drift and help from the
County Roads department was
needed to extricate it,
Already the schools labor with
one day of schools listed for
makeup. The beginning of the
Christmas holidays began with the
final scheduled day of activities
having to be called off. Most buses
got to their appointed schools but
they were turned back Immediate
ly, without unloading in many
cases.
A small amount of snow has fall
len during the week, not over an
inch or two, but what fell was buff
feted about by the high winds and
drifting occurred in number of
spots.
Weather in most instances in
Garrett county was an improve
ment over what was occurring in
areas to the east and north. Ale
gany county came up with more
snow than Garrett county as did
the Baltimore area.

Bloodnobile Unit
Due Here Jan. 9th

The American Red Cross blood
mobile unit will be in Oakland next
Wednesday, January 8, it was an
nounced by Mrs. Grover C..
Stemple, county chairman of the
blood program.
The visit will complete the 18th
year of visitationG in this county,
Mrs. Stemple said The unit will
come to the Oakland fire hall as
usual. Mrs. Stemple said she hoped
this visit would inspire an unusual
response.
Since February, 1852 there have
been So visits and 4,129 pints Of
blood have been contributed. The
program was SO pints short of filling
its quota last year.
The time of the bloodmobile
visit will be IL o'clock noon to 6
p. m.
Citing the increase in traffic and
other accidents and the increased
need for blood in surgery, Mrs.
Stemple noted that unless the
quota of 100 pints was met it would
be impossible for the chapter to
maintain its out of region dona-
tions.
She said there we're donations for
any county resident who may be-
come ill or injured away from
home or be sent to out of region
hospitals for surgery or treatment.
The county contributions dropped SO
pints below the last year quota and
she said residents were in danger
of losing the benefits of the blood
program unless the quota was
maintained.
Mrs. Stemple said appointment
cards we're being mailed to previ-
Gus and scheduled donors. She
said she hoped if the time was
not convenient, to come at time
convenient to the donor. watkins
always are welcome.

Deer Park Firemen Called

Deer Park Firemen were called
at tbs a. m. on Thursday, Dec. 9th
to the Wesley Friend residence
near Harvey's Peninsula. The fire
which ignited timbers surrounding
the flue was out on arrival of the
department.
Firemen were called at 1890 p.
m. on Sunday, Dec. 30th, to the
home of Forrest Boyce near Alta
mont after an overheated flue
ignited the dwelling
Damage in two fires was not con-
Sidered extensive.
Firemen announced the siren will
sound daily at noon for the next
few weeks. The recent snow and
sleet storms apparently forced
some moisture into the siren and
sounding it daily is intended to re-
move any additional moisture that
might form.

Nearby Gas Project

The Federal Power commission
granted a permanent certificate
last Friday to Atlantic SeabOard
corporation of Charleston w. Va,

firmed decision filed October 3

storage pool had a capacity of
about 40 billion cubic feet. He eX-

Commissioners
Hopeful Tax Rate
May Remain Same
Levy Must Be Completed By
Jan. 15-AssessubIe Busis
Will Show Increase

The County Commissioners are
working this week on the compile
ton of the annual levy for this
year, but as usual are hampered by
limits of time They will start burn
ing up extra hours next week as
as it is mandatory that the levy be
completed by January Is.
The Commissioners said they
were still hopeful that the tax rate
would not have to be raised but
there were a number of technical
decisions to be made in regard to
various budgets.
R. c. McComas, supervisor of as
sessments and taxation, said there
would be an increase in the assess
able but that he would not be able
to estimate until all the figures
had been tabulated and this was
not going to be possible until the
first of next week. The assessable
basis was S42,83915610, with $685.
657, 1870 on real and personal prop
erty, S14,168,OOO for corporations,
and S13,418 for railroads. Corpora
tons and railroads pay direct to
the state treasurer.
The increase in the assessable
basis comes from new properties
placed on the tax books, properties
that had previously escaped taxa
ton and the Encouragement of the
tax structure in an attempt to make
it more equitable for all persons.
There were some indications that
the tax rate would remain at $235
per hundred, the same as the past
three years. Prior to that it had
remained at So per 500 of assess
able property for a number Of
years.
Three years ago the Commission
ers put a 35-cent increase on the
rate, the first time since 1916. The
S235 includes a special Scent rate
for fire departments as the result
of a special law passed at the 1853
session Of the legislature.
II. D. Swartzentruber, vice presi-
dent of the commissioners, said a
number of departments had asked
for appropriations greater than
those of last year This included
the Welfare department, the Health
department, the Board of Edgsea7
ton, and others. The latter was
seeking S180,000 more than the fig
ure of last year, he said.
The amount of money allotted
to county roads also was scheduled
to come in for special study. Last
year the Roads department re-
ceived $318,525.71; health depart
ment $19,301; public welfare, S46,-
$3.50; schools, $500 1903, with SAL
23910 for school bonds and interest.
Other portions of the levy of
1862 showed, legislative and execu-
tive, $16,980; judicial, S22,668; cleo
ton, S16,OOO finance, $79,O57; legal
counsel, $1,000; general govern
ment buildings, $15,9O0; other gen.
eral government, $4,000; public
safety, $29,940; hospitals, $33,81s77;
correction, S4,2OO recreation, $12,-
440; public service enterprise, $685.
