The debate in the House between the city and
Baltimore county delegations on the propositions
to appoint committee to whom city extension
measures should be referred took up good deal
of the time of the House. The final vote to in
definitely postpone the matter leaves the House
clear of city extension for the present at least,
and it will come up again only when a bill for
city extension reaches the body. The city deega-
ton charged that the Baltimore county members
wanted to get a committee appointed of which the
county would have the Craftsmanship and large
share of influence; that it would in effect be
committee to bargain the influence of the county
delegation with the other counties to secure the
defeat of city extension. Some Of the city mem
bers said they are tired of the resultess legislative
discussions on that topic.

permit the Commissioners of Baltimore county to
lay out open and close streets in the first election
