House Of identical measures looking
to protection of Chesapeake Bay re-
sources. The House committee on the
Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries
also met this afternoon, when the adj
miristration's conservation measure
was given its first public hearing.

with inspection taxes, the maxi
mum size Of scoops, reserved areas,
the necessity of Baltimore City

regulatory provisions. They were in
troduced in the Senate by Ambrose ].
