MOTOR TRUCK RECIPROCITY
AGREEMENT

After a year of disagreement on
motor truck reciprocity between
Maryland and Delaware, administra-
tive officials of both States on Fri
day met in the Office of Thomas H.
Robinson, Attorney-Generab in Bal
timore, and drew up plan whereby
dissension and controversy over the
question will end. Complete reci-
procity for Maryland and Delaware
trucks was agreed on by the officials.
Again motor vehicles known as
common carriers under the
Public Service Commission law were
discussed. Other attempts to agree
on the reciprocity between the
States had been futile because of
misunderstanding over common car
riers. However, the officials agreed
that common carriers should be
recognized as such in both States
and treated accordingly.
Investigation into operation of
trucks thought to be common car
riers will be made by motor ve-
hicles officials in Maryland and
Delaware before any arrests are
made, according to the agreement.
trucks operating through
Delaware as common carriers will
be required to pay for such opera
ton, just as Delaware trucks opera
ting in Maryland as common car
riers have been required to pay.
