Prince Georges County delegation be-
comes a law. The measure provides for
licensing of such places by the county
commissioners, at an annual fee of
$1,000 year, and any place having
dancing more than once a week comes
within the scope of the proposed new
law, which the legislators say, has q
good chance OF passage.
The bill provides that effective July

public dancing is permitted more than
once a week in the Chillum, Bladens-

of such application. at the expense oil
the applicants and the commissioners
are given authority either to grant OF

However, in the latter case, an appor-
toned refund of the license fee is to be
returned.
1t is provided in the bill that the
proceeds from such license fees are tC

lar amount for the acquisition of the
square west of the present courthouse
site
The Farmers Bank g. Trust Co., of
which Senator Jones Is a director, is To-
Gated on this proposed new site, and
Senator Jones has indicated that his
opposition is both on account of the
fact that it would force the bank to
seek a new site, and also that he is OPP
posed to any more bond issues which
would prevent a lowering Of the tax
rate. On the other hand, the organiza-
ton leaders of the county have said
that whether the bond issues are passed
or defeated, there would not be any
lowering of the tax rate.

ALEXANDRIA. Va, March 20.-The
public school boards proposed request
for an appropriation TO construct a
two-story brick annex joining Alexan-
dria High School with Jefferson Ele-
mentary School to relieve the congested
condition in the local institutions will
not be presented formally to the city
council for at least two months, it was
learned today.
C. C. Robinson of Richmond, State
school architect said that two sketches
for the proposed annex have been sub
mitted to r. c. Bowton, superintendent
of the Alexandria public schools, neith-
err of which has fully met with his
approval and that it will take at least
60 days to complete other sketches
which are now being prepared
The architectural work will continue
until a sketch is designed that will
meet with Bowton's desires in every
particular. When a satisfactory sketch
and complete estimates for the work
are obtained the school board plans
to appeal to the city council for funds
with which to erect the annex.
The two schools, linked by the annex.
would form one of the largest instl-
buttons anywhere in Virginia. The
number of classrooms to be placed in
the plans has not been ascertained, but
it is known that a cafeteria, gym
nasium, auditorium AND executive Of
fees will be provided Tor.

BILL FOR W0RKMEN
BEATEN In MARYLAND
Liberalization of Compensation
Law Defeated in House by
rs to 81 Vote.
BY a Stan Correspondent Of The Star.

BY Stan correspondent OF Ine star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 20.-Liber-
slization Of the present workmen's
compensation law of Maryland was dis
approved yesterday by the House Of
Delegates, when that body rejected a
motion to substitute the bill providing
increases in the allowances for the UNI
favorable report on the measure from
the ways and means committee. The
vote was IS to 81.
The principal objection of the oppon-
ents, as indicated in the debate, was
that any increase in the amount of
money TO be spent by industry as over
head would serve not only to put Mary
land industry in a position where II
would not be able to compete with that
of nearby States, but would prevent
new industry from coming into the
State.
Speaker Lee, in explaining his vote in
favor Of the measure, said that all
charges against industry we're objec-
t1onable, but he pointed out that Mary
land was at the bottom of the upper
third of States in the liberality of its
workmen's compensation laws He also
said that he considered workmen's COM
pensation as the fairest of all charges
against industry.
