Many Versions There are almost as many versions what happened that night as there were' persons present in the tavern, Mr. Grant old the Court. Four "witnesses called his morning by the defense. The first was the proprietor of the tavern, Robert Kemp, wh(5 aid Paugh had been'iri avern most of the day, arriving "jarly in the morning, leaving or a time, returning at 1 1 m. and remaining afternoon and evening.

Mr. Kemp said the altercation actually began when Paugh ap- roached his 3 augh, who was dancing with Mrs. Malcomb. He said he saw no scuffle at the booth- where 3rown reportedly was sittfng, mt that when he next looked IB saw the woman pounding augh's chest at the bar. The next.thing, he observed, he tes- ified, was lying in the middle of the floor.

asked for a permit demolish a dwelling on the side and to 'use the lot as an auxiliary parking area for medical office building located across the 500 Greene Street. Officials said the medical building was. built in the RG-2 zoning district before-the pre- sent' zoning ordinance was adopted and therefore exists as a matter of right. But while guaranteeing the right -of a non-conforming use to exist as long is used, the ordinance provides "that he non-conforming use.shall be en- larged or increased. Officials said the Engineering Department takes 'the position that the use of the lot as a park- ing for- the'' medical office building constitutes' the expansion-of a non-conforming use-in a multi-family residential zone.

The policy is stated in the ordinance as "It is the intent this; ordinance to permit those non-conformities to 'continue until they are removed, but no to encourage their Police Dog Exhibition Begins Here A three-day canine training program began- this afternoon at LaVaie Barracks of State Police, Lt.

Fiscal Picture Brighter By JOHN WOODFIELD Associated Press Writer prettiest real and artificial flow- ers, polled plant and real roses. an estimaledihrought on by an personal income taxes wasjwicner roast tomorrow of individual income 521.641,874 instead of Ihejp. wilh children The public hearing on the pro- posed Mt. Savage landfill pro- ject came under fire today be- 'ore the Board of Allegimy County Commissioners rom ils content and method in which it was conducted. At the same time, the role of he State Health Department in Mlegany County affairs was questioned and a mystery arose concerning the original copy of a letter sent to the county at- orney which he did not receive )ut a copy of which was read nlo the official minutes of last night's hearing.

The discussion erupted when Mrs. Betty Fazenbaker, LaVaie, charged that state officials had given residents a "lot of double Lalk" at the landfill hearing. She said although a resident of LaVaie, she was concerned. This brought from Mrs. Lucile Roed- cr, board president, the com- ment thai what affects the coun- ly affects all citizens wherever they might reside.

State Issues Permits Commissioner Burton Smith, in answer to Mrs. Farenbaker's question whether the county wt'g going into the health, aspects before a permit was issued, told her that the state would issue any permit. He said he also had had no knowledge of a letter from At- torney General Francis Burch to County Attorney Fred Anderson which was read into the record last night. Mr. Smith had requested the at- torney lo inquire as to the legali- ty of the landfill move 'which will bring refuse and garbage here metropolitan Balti- more.

The letter was dated June 24 and Mr. Smith said "It is ridi- culous how the State Is pushing this down our throat." Perturbed Mr. Smith said he was per- turbed at the conduct of the meeting last night and had tried lo contain himself. He said it was evident lo him that the Slate Health Department runs the Allegany County Health De- partment, and not the Board of Commissioners, and if he could today, he would withdraw all public funds from the health budget and let the State Depart- ment run the county depart- ment. Mr.

Smith also -stated UM county board lacked legal knowl- edge of what was going on, noting that County Attorney Fred II. Anderson has disquali- fied himself since his law part- ner Is representing the 'com- pany, American Land Reclama- tion and Resort Company of Cleveland, which proposes the Ml. Savage fill. The board should have had another at- torney to advise it, Mr. Smith said.

Takes Exception Mr. Anderson said he resented implications concerning the let- ter and also took exception to an aside comment from Cum- berland Mayor Thomas F. Con- Ion on the mailer. Mayor Con- Ion also had questioned how "a purloined lellcr" from the at- torney ceneral could have been inlcrccpfed by Ihe Heallh De- partment and read at last nighl'S meeting.
