adopted. Delegate Daniel c. Joseph
of Baltimore city, chairman of the
judiciary committee, explained that

for it's passage. A similar bill was
killed by the general assembly in

troduced some time ago, directing
the Prince Georges county commits
sioners to pay $500 annually to the
town of Upper Marlboro. The money

Governor Signs Bills.
Gov. Albert c. Ritchie signed a
large number of bills yesterday; /;
among these was the bill of Dele
gate Charles b. Ager of Prince
Georges county authorizing a $20,-
600 revolving civic bond issue for
Mt. Rainier, and the bill of Dele
gate William H. McCeney of Mont
gomery county changing the name of
the Montgomery county poorhouSe
TO the county home. Both these
measures passed the legislature last
week.
The $4,500,000 state roads bill and
the 100000 bridge and culvert bill
were favorably reported by the house
ways and means committee and ad-
vanced to the third reading file. Both
of these are administration measures.
A section placing the control of the
state road funds allotted to Balti-
more city under the jurisdiction and
supervision of the city officers was
eliminated, and street paving in the
city will continue to be done by the
state roads commission.
Motor Law Change.
The house yesterday passed a bill
practically changing all the motor
laws of the state. The measure was
introduced at the solicitation of the
Automobile Club of MARYLAND and
curtails considerably the power of
the commissioner of motor vehicles
One OF its provisions forbds the
commissioner to deputize citizens as
special deputies with the power Of
arrest for speeding and other vio-
lations of the motor code. These So
called "snoopers" wear ordinary civil
ian clothes bearing no distinctive
marks and have aroused the ire of the
Maryland motorist. A bill dividing
branches was also passed by the
house. This measure is designed to
reduce the congestion of cases In the
courts and facilitate the trials of
persons arrested for minor offenSes,
thus saving the time of the accused
and the witnesses.

APPEAL TO ADVERTISERS
County Civic Federation to Enlist
Every Possible Aid.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


CLARENDON. Va, March 6.-To
clean up the Virginia approaches to
the Key and Highway bridges the
Arlington County Civic Federation, at
it's March me citing, at the courthouse,
decided on a renewed fight to rid the
county of advertising signboards.
A resolution adopted by the meet
ing cites that the erection of sign
boards along the highways of the
county and at the end of the Key
and Highway bridges has been car
ried to a point where such signs con-
stitue a public nuisance; that they
mitigate against the advancement of
the county and render it's main en-
frances cheap and tawdry. The reso-
luton also states that the s1gnboards
are so numerous that no one reads
any of them, and that consequently
they have no value to the advertiser.
On the other hand, 1t points out they
the county and provoke a feeling of
resentment against the advertisers.
Appeal to Advertisers.
The resolution appeals to the ad-
vertisers to aid in the cleanup in or
der that the southern entrances to
the National Capital may develop In
Arts Commission for the development
Of the National Capital" They are
asked to refrain from the erection OF
additional signs and to cause the re-
moval of existing signs as soon as
possible.
Property owners are urged by the
resolution to refuse to permit the use
of their properties for the erection OF
signboardS.
the signboard committee of the fed
l.. taI lxy hA 1r
ton to maintain roster of those ad-
vertisers who cooperate with the
community in the matter and to
transmit the same from time to time
to the county papers and to citizens
associations comprising the fedora
ton.
billboard Tax Proposed.
Announcement was made that an
ordinance had been prepared by the
federation which will be presented
for adoption to the board of supervis-
ors next Monday. The proposed ordi-
nance imposes tax or 81 per square
foot upon advertising signbords. 1t
is believed that this will go a long
way toward abolishing the practice.
Frank q. Campbell, chairman OF
the federation's sigpboard committee,
commenting on a recent address of
Charles Moore of the Fine Arts Com
mission, in which he called attention
to the unsightliness of the approaches
to the Virginia end of the Key bridge,
stated:
Arlington county must choose now
whether it will become Washington's
front door or Washington's back
yard. The plans of the Fine Arts
Commission for the development of
the nations Capital include many
wonderful things for the Virginia
bank of the Potomac. for 1t must be
remembered that the boundary OF the
District of Columbia is at high
water mark on the Virginia side. We
cannot expect interest in the plans
for this side of the river to be main
tanned unless we are willing to do
our part TO prevent the creation of
conditions here which will nullify the
result of all efforts to beautify the
Virginia shore"
