STRIP MINING LAWS
The Strip Mining Laws of the State of Maryland went into effect onJune 1, 1955. To engage in open pit mining of bituminous coal, the opera-tor must first file an application as provided by this department. Each ap-plication will cover four acres of coal to be stripped. This must be accom-panied by a Form of Bond, Cash or U. S. Government Securities in theamount of four hundred dollars ($400.00), one hundred ($100.00) per acre.The operator must also pay a filing fee of two hundred dollars ($200.00). APERMIT, giving the location of the acreage to be stripped, is then issued tothe operator by the Bureau of Mines.
To further comply with this law, the operator must file an OperationsReport within thirty (30) days after starting removal of overburden. With-in six (6) months after the operation is finished or abandoned, the opera-tor must file a Completion Report with the Bureau.
When the open pit mining operation is terminated and the operator hascomplied with all regulations set out in this law, the Directors of the Bureauof Mines will issue a release of the bond, cash or securities as deposited withthe State Treasurer.
The following permits have been issued.

FIRST AID TRAININGDue to the growing concern for industrial safety and the interest of the
general public in Civil Defense, the Bureau of Mines has conducted numer-ous classes in First Aid training during the year. These classes were taughtby Mine Inspector, Thomas B. Powell, who holds a First Aid Instructor'sCertificate from both the U. S. Bureau of Mines and the American RedCross. Mr. Harry B. Buckley, District Mine Inspector, and Ellsworth B.Filer assisted with this training.
The participants in these classes numbered 147, including both menand women. Some received Red Cross Certificates while the majorityreceived both the Red Cross and U. S. Bureau of Mines Certificates. Thefollowing classes were conducted: West Virginia Pulp & Paper Company,Luke, Maryland, (four classes); Potomac Fire Company, Westernport,Maryland; Frostburg Police and Fire Department, Frostburg, Maryland;class of women in Deer Park, Maryland: and a mixed class in Cumberland,Maryland.
The need for this type of training is still evident, and the Bureau hopesto be able to furnish this training during the next year to any interestedgroups. Since this training is in addition to Mr. Powell's regular duties asa Mine Inspector, it will be necessary to limit the number of classes.

AC] 'IVITI ES OF RODNEY W. S ELDERS
Fuel Combustion Advisor For The Year 1955
During the year 1955, Mr. Selders spent 123 days in the office and labora-tory in Westernport, and 31 days in the field collecting samples, advising oncoal preparation, etc. Seventy-one days were devoted to State Institutions,during which all Institutions using coal as primary fuel were visited at leastonce. Eleven days were devoted to the various Public School Systems andother Public Institutions.
Mr. Selders participated in a workshop program at State Teachers Col-lege, Frostburg, Maryland and in Garrett County for The Board of Edu-cation.
Approximately 225 samples were processed in the Coal Testing Labora-tory during 1955. Most of these samples were of delivered coal at State In-stitutions.
During the year 1955 we had 16 coal complaints, pertaining to the quali-ty of coal purchased by the State for consumption at State Institutions. Forthe most part these complaints were due to high ash and moisture content.While there can be no justification for high ash, much of the moisture wasdue to extremely inclement weather that prevailed throughout the coal fieldsduring this period.
With the tropical storms that did considerable damage to transportationfacilities and to mine installation, it was necessary to conduct a survey tolocate coal that was available for State consumption until the emergencysubsided. Several mines supplying coal to the Purchasing Department suf-fered considerable damage and were out of production for 30 days or more.
Some additional equipment and other improvements and refinementswere added to the coal laboratory.

The Night Mining Classes opened their sessions on October 1, 1954 withThomas B. Powell, Inspector-at-Large, as Instructor.
20 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF MINES
The classes were organized and conducted at the following points:Barton Tuesday NightFrostburg Wednesday NightMt. Savage Friday Night
It was necessary to discontinue the class at Barton due to the lack of inter-est. The average attendance of this class was only five students.
The Mt. Savage class consisted of thirteen adults and three students fromthe local school, making a total of sixteen.
The Frostburg class had an enrollment of twenty-nine students, who main-tained an average of 95% attendance, making this the largest class.
The subjects studied were:Supervision of PersonnelVentilation and Mine GasesSurveying and Map ReadingElectricityThe Use of Permissible Supplies and EquipmentGeneral Mine Safety
A great deal of interest was shown in these classes especially in the dis-cussions during the student participation period at the end of the classmeeting. Each student was encouraged to contribute by asking questions ordiscussing some problem of special interest to him. In this way, every stu-dent acquired the benefit of the experience of others. These periods wenton at times for one or more hours beyond the regular class session.
Report of Night Mining ClassesL. C. HUTSON
The Night Mining Classes opened their sessions January 3, 1955, andclosed May 20, 1955.
During the above period, five weekly classes were conducted in Garrettand Allegany Counties.
ORGANIZATION AND SCHEDULE
The Night Mining Classes were organized and conducted at the follow-ing points:
Crellin Monday NightMill Run Tuesday NightKitzrniller Thursday Night
Due to lack of interest and a failure to maintain the minimum standardof attendance at Mill Run, this class was discontinued. A Safety TrainingProgram was conducted at Friendsville, Deer Park and Grantsville withthe cooperation of the Maryland Bureau of Mines.
With the initial large enrollment at Crellin, it was thought best to di-vide the class into two sections. The basic section met on Monday nightsand the advanced section met on Wednesday nights.

SUMMARY OF THE SHORT COURSEThe enrollment of the Short Course totaled twenty-two men. Seven of
these men had been enrolled and attended previous Short Courses. Theremaining fifteen had all been students in Night Mining Classes in formeryears. Their interest was keen and their progress was outstanding. Theincrease in enrollment over former years was very gratifying.

CONCLUSION
At the beginning of the school year, Mr. L. C. Hutson, Instructor—Uni-versity of Maryland, was on leave of absence; and, to carry on this pro-gram, it was necessary for Mr. Thomas B. Powell of the Maryland Bureauof Mines to organize the classes until Mr. Hutson's return on January 1,1955.
With the improvements in the coal industry which were apparent by thistime, it was evident that enough interest was displayed in vocational min-ing to merit several additional classes. At one point, it was found possibleto conduct two classes per week, one in basic mining and the other in ad-vanced mining subjects.
To reduce the travel over mountainous roads in inclement weather andin view of the popularity of the lecture-discussion type class, it was con-sidered advisable for Mr. Powell to carry on the Frostburg and Mt. Savageclasses for the remainder of the school year.
While interest lagged at several points, it became necessary to terminatethose classes and resume at other locations. This condition contributed toa larger enrollment than usual.
The Short Course in Coal Mining originally scheduled for Frostburgwas transferred to Crellin, where a survey showed that this would be theideal central location for the majority of the aspirants for Certificates ofCompetency.
The enrollment was higher in the Short Course than it had been for anumber of years. The percentage of attendance was high and interest wasmaintained constantly.
In conclusion, this demonstrated the continued need for this type of pro-gram; and, past experiences have proven the value of this program to theemployer, the employee and the public as well.
