Race Commission \
Bill for BoWie
Looks Favorable

Annapolis. March 1S.-Unless the
Prince Georges County racing
commission bill. now pending, in
the senate. can be passed with an
emergency clause attached. so as
to make it eective from the date
OF passage. there can be no racing
with betting at the Bowie track
this spring.
Today. in consequence of the
decision of the Court of Appeals
to the effect that there can be no
legalized betting in Prince Georges
County, the hackers Of the Prince
Georges racing commission bill
are considering the. advisability of
having the emergency clause at
tached. declaring the measure "nec-
essary for the public health and
safety"
Unless a way can be found of
getting around the decision of the
Court of Appeals the April meet
neither the Metzerott measure nor
the Burke bill, in the event of
their final passage, becomes oper-
ative until June 1.
Senator Metzerott's bill providing
a racing commission for Prince
Georges County was reported fav-
orably today by a committee con-
sisting of Senator's Sproesser. of
Baltimore: Grason. of st. Marys,
and Metzerott. OF Prince Georges.
The Metzerott bill creates a COM
mission of three for Bowie to be
named by the governor, not more
than two of whom shall belong to
the dominant political party. 1t
limits racing to thirty-five days and
levies a tax of $1,000 a day on the
track.
There is a possibility that Senator
Metzerott may add a county refer
endum to it. In any case, residents
of Prince Georges County might be
able to suspend it's operation by a
referendum petition.
