Seeks To Eujoin Neighbor.

Suit to enjoin Mrs. Daisy L. Wilton, his
neighbor, from trespassine upon his prop
erty was filed in the circuit court here for
Merle Thorpe, editor of Nations Business,
by Attorney Albert NJ Bouic last Friday.
The suit alleges that Mrs. Wilton or her
AGENTS tore down fence that Mr.. Thorpe
had erected blocking road on his property.
Mrs. Wilton claims that the road is a
community road and has been a public
road for years, but according to Mr. BOuic,
close research has shown that the use Of
the road was permissive right which had
been extended to the neighbors and which
could be withdrawn at any time by Mr..
Thorpe.
The petition declares that Mr.. Thorpe's
fee simple and unencumbered title to the
property is being denied him by Mrs
Whiton's use of the road and the destruction
of the fence. Mr. Thorpe offered the road to
the county at one time for use as a county
road. but the county commissioners refused
to take jurisdiction, having planned an
other road in the same area. The road
connects the property of Mr.. Thorpe at
Alta Vista with the Rockville pike.
Mr.. Thorpe is not certain that Mrs.
Wilton claims the right to use the road
as an appurtenance of her property or as
public highway. the bill states. but charges
that the defendant has no right to use the
road.

Legislative Pay Vote Ruled Out.

The proposed Constitutional Amendment
to increase pay of the General Assembly
will not 60 on the November ballots.
Thomas H. Robinson, Attorney General.
has ruled that the amendment authorizing
an increase of from SIS to SIS day for
members of the Legislature was not passed
by the Senate in accord with Constitutional
requirements and last Friday he so notified
David C. Winebtenner 3rd, Secretary of
State.
The ruling was forwarded to MIR. Wine
brenner in reply to his inquiry as to whether
he should certify the amendment to the
various boards of election supervisors for
submission to the voters at the approaching
elections.
Mr.. Robinson based his decision on the
fact that during the legislative maze through
which the amendment and its amendment
found its way at the last session. the re-
quired three-fifths marjority in favor of the
plan failed to materialize in the Senate.
The bill was introduced in the House and
passed by vote of SO to 20. At that
time it provided for an increase of from
SIS to SIS daily for members and an addi-
tion $40 day for the presiding officers
of both branches.
Then the measure was sent to the Senate,
where it was adopted after being amended
to make the new rate of pay to $40. At
the final vote it was passed 20 to 1.
Then the bill went back to the House,
where a motion was made that the men,
bers refuse to concur in the Senate amend
ment, and send it to a conference COM
mittee. The committee recommended that
the Senate alteration be withdrawn.
The Senate voted II to IL in favor of the
conference report, but the Attorney-G General
points out this vote was less than three
fifths of the membership required under
the Constitution.
