2 BILLS FILED IN ND. TO
AMEND MOTHERS PENSION

ANNAPOLIS. March 1.-Two bills
to amend the mothers pension law
In Maryland were introduced today
in the house of delegates. One. Of.
fered by Delegate Baker, would
make operative the law which has
been In existence since it's passage
in 1916, but which, because of lack
of provision for funds was rendered
ineffective.
This bill was brought to Annap
oils by Judge Jacob w. Moses. IN
der IL a board for mothers relief of
Baltimore city would be created to
administer the fund while county
commissioners in the counties would
be constituted the administrative
mediums in the various counties.
The bill contemplates partial sup
port of widows with children under
fourteen years Of age. Provision is
made for clerks to the Baltimore city
board and investigators to determine
the validity and fairness of claims.
The second measure, introduced
by Delegate Edmunds, would accom-
plish the same end as the first and.
at the same time, extend certain
provisions and increase the aid ap-
proximately so per cent, in differ.
ent cases.
