The Washington County Ministerial Association urged the Mayor and Council to pass local legislation to curb marriage solicitors calling at the courthouse. Rev Aubrey Young said Hagerstown earned a bad name as a marriage racket city and noted solicitors guiding couples to the clerk’s office before meeting a marrying parson. City Attorney Edward Oswald doubted the legality of such a law without broader authority.

Insurance Jeopardized By Gasoline Storage
Gasoline storage in unsuited containers and inside sheds or barns endangers insurance coverage and increases fire and explosion risk says Ray W Carpenter agricultural engineering specialist. He warns that handling gasoline indoors creates explosive gas air mixtures that can ignite from sparks or flames and that vapor travels to lower levels, filling pits or basements with deadly fumes. Storage should be in separate structures or underground tanks distant from farm buildings and handling should occur outdoors for proper ventilation.
