UPPER MARLBORO, Md, June T.
Unsightly temporary roadside stands
for the sale Of fireworks, which in the
years since firecracker selling has been
unlawful in the District of Columbia,
have cluttered the highways leading
into Washington will not be permitted
in Prince Georges County this Summer,
the Maryland authorities announced to-
day.
Although several such stands already
have been begun by merchants who
have failed to obtain building permits,
work on them is expected to stop
promptly with the issuance of warnings
by police authorities that the structures
come within the new coming ordinance
and require permit.
Would Reject Applications.
It scarcely will be necessary for the
merchants to go through the formality
of applying for the permits, however,
for the Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission probably will
disapprove them, according to James c.
Blackwell, county clerk, who conferred
with Irving G. Root, chief engineer Of
the planning body, on the subject.
Under the Zoning ordinance, which
was put into effect by the county COM
missioners last Winter, applications for
all such buildings must be passed upon
by the Maryland-Narional Capital Park
and Planning Commission. After that

body has disapproved permission for q
fireworks stand, the merchant might
appeal to the county commissioners
who have the final decision. Blackwell
says. but the appeal probably would not
be acted upon before the Fourth of July
The law applies not only to inde-
other buildings, but small additions
added to stores or shops already built
There will be no way, however, to halt
occupied by merchants who add them
to their line and dispense them inside
their present quarters.
Complaints Received.
Several complaints against the sale
and discharge of fireworks have been
few days, according to Deputy Sheriff
A. w. Hepburn, who declares there is
considerable sentiment against fireworks
not only as a fire hazard, but as a
traffic menace as well There were
several accidents on the Baltimore
boulevard last Summer as a result of
fireworks being discharged suddenly
near the highway or thrown into ma
chimes by children, he recalls, while
two years ago temporary stand in
Cedarcroft, containing about $1,000
worth of fireworks, burned to the
ground from a sparkler thrown behind
the counter, Hepburn says.
Opposed to those who want to abolish
the sale of fireworks in the community
are those who point out it is the source
Of considerable revenue.

With State Board.
By STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

by a SCan correspondent OF Inc star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, June T.
Reports printed in two Washington
newspapers and county papers in Prince
Georges to the effect that there exists
a disagreement between the commits
sioners of that county and the State
Roads Commission over lateral road
recommendations have been repudiated
by the commissioners, James G. Black
well, county clerk, announced today.
In a formal resolution, the commits
sioners placed themselves ION record as
repudiating press reports to the effect
that there is any disagreement between
the county commissioners and the State
Roads Commission as to the 1929 build
ing program, and, furthermore. declare
that there is absolute agreement and
full accord as to the construction of the
county roads to be taken over by the
State Roads Commission as provided in
the $550,000 bond issue Of Prince
Georges County"
The reports to which the commission
ers objected declared the commissioners
were arranging a conference with Gov.
Albert C.. Ritchie for the purpose of
securing his backing in their effort to
have more gravel roads built than the
State Roads Commission would approve.
Their repudiating resolution gives no
further explanation as to why their
counsel, M. Hampton Magruder, wrote
the governor in an effort to arrange
such conference.
The conference with the governor has
never been held.

FAIRFAX. Va, June 7.-Automobile
reciprocity between Washington and
Virginia and immediate steps to avert
resumption of the truck license tag war,
which last year threatened the present
amicable relations, yesterday were urged
on Gov. Byrd by joint committee rep
resenting the trade bodies of Fairfax
and Arlington Counties and Washing
ton. This delegation, including F. D.
Richardson, Thomas Keith and George
Robey of Fairfax; Guy Church of Falls
Church, William Jorg of the Washing
ton Board of Trade, Jerome Fancuili of
the Washington Chamber of Commerce,
Mr. Spies of the Washington Bakers
Association, Mr.. Frame of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
and Mr.. McGill, secretary of the Mary
land-Virginia Milk Producers AsSocia-
ton. asked that regulations be adopted
allowing trucks of business concerns OF
the District of Columbia to enter Vir-
ginia to do business on District of Co
lumbia tags, when they return to the
District the same day or night.
The matter has recently been brought
into the limelight again by the arrest
in Manassas of Washington laundry
truck and in Remington of a truck Of
the Continental Baking Co. on the
charge of operating only on District OF
Columbia licenses. The last State Leg
islature passed bill leaving this ques-
ton of license tags to the discretion OF
the governor. Motor Vehicle Commits
Sioner James Hayes, who attended the
conference with the two officers from
Culpeper and Prince William Coun-
ties, who made the arrests, stated that
18 months had passed with no attempt
to amend the present law and his men
were acting within their rights In max
ing the arrests.
Gov. Byrd expressed himself as in
tereSted and sympathetic and desirouS
of giving Virginia equal advantages in
the trade and development competition
with suburban Maryland. The delega-
ton pointed out to him that the con-
Struction of new connecting bridges
and highways was doing much to over
come the handicap previously offered by
the Potomac River barrier, but that an
other auto tag war between Virginia
and the District would be disastrous to
expansion as well as to friendly rela-
tionS.
Gov. Byrd asked Mr.. Hayes to pre-
pare for him Immediately complete
report on the reciprocity extended to
the District of Columbia by Maryland
and on that existing between Virginia
and its other border States, North Car
olina and West Virginia. When this
report is received, Gov. Byrd has prom
ised to make an immediate decision.
