COUNTY BODY ASKS
PASSAGE OF BILLS.
Prince Georges Measures
Have Little Chance of Sue
cess, Delegation Finds.
BY WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY.
staff Correspondent of The Star.


ANNAPOLIS. Md, March 29.-Seek-
ing reasons for the failure of the Prince
Georges delegation in the House and
Senate for not pushing two bills spon-
sored and pressed by citizens of the
county and by the Chamber of Com
merce of the county, delegation from
the latter body appeared at the State
house here yesterday and were given
hearing by the county legislators One
of the bills which the delegation wanted
passed was to divorce the county police
force from the sheriff and place it di-
rectly under the county commissioners.
and the other was bill which would
authorize the county treasurer to sue
coed himself. The county police bill
has never been introduced. but the bill
relating to the treasurer was introduced
in the House by Henry l.. Morris of
Upper Marlboro. chairman of the dele
CATION. and referred to the delegation
committee. where it has stayed.
1t is probable that neither of the bills
will pass at this session. The police
bill could only be introduced by unani-
nous consent, as the rules prohibit the
introduction of bills within 10 days Of
the close OF the session. In the case
Of the treasurer's bill, even if that
were reported today, it would not have
time to go through both houses, except
by the railroading method.
Charles W. Clagett of Hyattsville said
that the business men of the county
we're interested in the police bill. and
they could see no valid reason why 1t
should not be passed. He wanted to
know the reasons why the delegation
was keeping quiet on the matter.
Senator Sasscer said that the delega-
ton reached its decision on the police
bill some days ago and that he had
prepared letter to S. Marvin Peach
Of Upper Marlboro.
Senator Sasscer pointed out that
many people who favored the change
did not know of the provision giving
the county commissioners authority to
hire and fire police officers. All of the
members of the Hyattsville delegation

one-third of mile long, without any

under way here on the new bridge
across Sydney harbor.
The arch Is 1850 feet long. It passes
above a deep-water ocean shipping lane
into the harbor. The two ends of the
arch now are creeping out over the
water toward each other. They are
which keep their unsupported ends
pointed slightly upward and rigid,
much on the same principle of a gun
