PAYMENT OF FINES
CLAIMED INVALID
Mount Rainier Officials Pro-
test Giving Half Court Re-
ceipts to Commissioners.
BY stan Correspondent of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent of The Star
MOUNT RAINIER, Md, June a.
Citing an act of the 1929 Legislature,
Corporation Counsel Bird H. Dolby to-
day wrote the Prince Georges County
commissioners protesting on behalf of
the mayor and council an order direct
ing the justices of peace in Prince
Georges County to pay the commission
ers one-half OF all fines collected for
violations of town ordinances.
Dolby contends that the 1929 Legis-
Iature repealed and re-enacted the Po-
lice Court law in such a way as to re-
verse the provisions of an act passed in
1927, under which the commissioners
were authorized to receive one-half the
lines in town cases.
Backs Repeal Contention.
State Senator Lansdale G.. Sasscer
agrees with Dolby that the 1929 law was
intended to repeal that feature of the
1927 act, which is cited by the county
commissioners in letter sent all mag
4strateS last week.
Sasscer declares the provision in the
1927 act that half the town fines be
turned over to the commissioners
aroused opposition of some of the towns,
and at the request of the various town
governments bill was introduced re-
pealing that feature. The 1929 law says
that fines penalties and forfeitures as
contained in any ordinance in any in
corporated town in Prince Georges
County are exempt from the usual proc
eSs OF being sent to the commissioners
A short time ago the commissioners
passed an order requesting a Hyatts-
vile justice of peace to turn over to
the county commissioners half the fines
In town cases, which he had in his
possession at the time
Payment Already Made.
A form letter quoting this order and
calling attention to the 1927 act was
then sent all of the Justice of peace in
the county. AS result one of them,
Judge Shipley. has sent the commits
sioners check for half the fines COL
1ected for violations of the ordinances
of the town of Berwyn Heights. This
check is being held while the COM
m1ssioners investigate the point raised
by the Mount Rainier authorities.
1t was said at the Office of the COM
missioners today that the matter would
probably be referred to the boards
counsel, as the commissioners believe
they should go into the matter thor
oughly before making a final decision.
One of the factors which is said to
have led the commissioners to attempt
to collect the fines is ruling which they
were informed was given one of the
magistrates from the State attorney
general. This ruling is reported as
having stated that half the town fines
must be sent to the commissioners.
The amount of money involved in the
controversy is comparatively small but
plays an appreciate part in each towns
budget.

ADDITIONAL JUDGE
MAY Be REQUESTED
Prince Georges Court Bust
ness Declared Too Large
for One Jurist.
BY GEORGE PORTER,

OtaH Correspondent, Inc evening star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, June o.
Realization that the amount of work in
Prince Georges County Circuit Court
has grown to such an extent within
the last few years that one judge cannot
adequately handle it, many prominent
attorneys and political leaders of the
county are giving serious thought to the
ACCESSIBILITY of seeking a constitutional
amendment that would create another
judgeship.
The proposal, which is generally
favored by the county bar, is still in
the formative stages, but is expected to
be presented at coming meetings of sew
eral countrywide organizations for dis
cussion and possible Endorsement.
Large Docket.
1t is pointed out that Prince Georges
County has many times as many Cir
cult Court cases in year as all the
other Southern Maryland counties in
the circuit combined During the year
1929, for example, there were $40 equity
cases docketed in Prince Georges, as
County, Is in Calvert County and ap-
proXimately the same number in ST.
Marys County.
In 1928 there we're 365 equity cases
filed here. an average of one a day
throughout the year. All of these cases
are given the attention of the court
Although some may require only an
examination of the papers, many others
necessitate several days Of open court
hearings, examination of briefs and
arguing Of motions.
Municipal Cases Numerous.
These include divorce cases and mu-
nicipal cases. The later were fairly
consideration, involving as they did the
constitutionality of town ordinances
While the equity cases were numerous
enough to keep one judge occupied, in
the opinion of the county lawyers, there
were also large number of law and
criminal cases requiring the attention
of the Circuit Court.
A study of the 1929 dockets shows
that there were 407 appearances en-
tered during the four court terms.
During the April and October jury
terms the docket shows 112 criminal
trials, SO criminal appeals, A civil APP
pedlS anu z9U civil GIldlS. LII dQQILtDIl,
Is petitions and 81 40-day judgments
were docketed during the year. This
makes total of 1886 cases given court
attention during 1929.
Would Divide Work.
The lawyers of the county say that
this is far too much for one Judge to
be expected to handle. They regard
Judge Joseph C. Mattingly as excep-
tionally careful conscientious and COM
petent, but believe it humanity impos-
sible for him to keep abreast of the
work.
If a second judge we're authorized,
one of the judges would probably handle
equity cases and the other law cases
for period of six months out of each
year as is done in other counties which
have two judges.
The same situation now existing in
Prince Georges County faced Baltimore
County some years ago and resulted in
the authorization of additional jurists.
A constitutional amendment providing
for an additional judge In Prince
Georges County could not be obtained
before 1892. the lawyers say.

NEW ROUTE TO BAY
USED BY AUTO|STS
Southern Maryland BoMe-
ward, However, Not Yet
Officially Opened.
BY a stan Correspondent of tn. Star.

BY q Stah Correspondent Of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, June 3d.
Although the new Southern Maryland
boulevard, affording a direct route to
many popular bay resorts, is not ON
cially open, traffic is now using it daily
in spite of warning by District Engi-
neer Joseph CLANCY of the State Roads
Commission that motorists driving over
the highway do so at their own risk.
The new thoroughfare, affording a
much shorter route to Chesapeake
Beach and Solomons Island, is now be-
ing equipped with dirt shoulders and
will not be oh1cially opened until this
work is completed, about July "a. How
ever, the concrete roadbed, 10 feet wide,
is hard enough to carry traf1ic.
Truck Ditched.
CLANCY says autoists are likely 10
encounter trouble If they are forced
of the concrete. One heavy truck was
ditched yesterday. he said.
Residents along the new $500 900
highway however, have been using 1t
ever since State Roads Commission
watchmen were removed.
The new highway is a l2.mile thor
oughfare, starting at the Marlboro pike
just east OF the Patuxent River and
running to the Annapolis Solomons
road, which it joins at All Saints, q
point about half a m'1e south of Sum
derland. 1t Is said to shorten the dis
lance to Solomons Island by about 8
miles.
Shorter Route.
Although a cutoff is new being built
affo'ding a direct route from Wards
Turn to Mount Harmony and into
Chesapeake Beach and North Beach.
Washtngtonians on the way to the
beaches And 1t much shorter even now
10 travel the new road to All Saints
and then turn north to Mount Har-
mony. This route is between S and
o miles shorter than the usual route
through Mount Zion. The road Is also
smoother and has fewer turns.
The new cutoff from Wards Turn Is
expected TO be opened about the same
time the boulevard is finished. It Is
being constructed of gravel. Bus driy-
ers operating between Washington and
Chesapeake Beach expect they will use
the new road at least for one trim a
day when 1t Is opened.
Plans are already being formulated
Tor celebration in honor of the OPEN
ing OF the new highway. John B. GRAY.

BACK STATE TAXES
REFUSED COUNTIES
Virginia Attorney General
Rules Act of Last Legis-
Iature Unconstitutional.
BY LESTER n. INSKEEP,
STAFF CORRESPONDENT of The Star.


ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, June 28-Local author
ties were informed today that they
would not be permitted to retain for
the local schools the State land and
Intangible personal property delinquent
taxes, amounting to about $4,000, as
provided in a bill passed at the last
session OF the General Assembly. At
torney General John r. Saunders has
ruled that the act is unconstitutional.
The act provided that the counties
cities and towns of the State might re-
tain for their own use any State taxes
that became delinquent prior to the
segregation act of 1926. The latter
measure abolished State taxation on
real estate, separating the collection
and handling of State and local taxes.
At the time this legislation went into
effect there we're many thousands of
dollars of uncollected taxes due the
State and while some of this has been
collected and turned into the State
treasury since that time there still re-
mains large sum to be collected.
Schools Would Benefit.
In Arlington County this probably
would have amounted to $4,000, which,
uAIOcI IIlc CeILHS VI IIle dCU, COulQ nave
been collected by the county treasurer
and the collector of delinquent taxes
and turned over to the school board.
State and county taxes delinquent prior
to 1926 amount to approximately $780,
900, per cent of which represents the
State share.
Introduction of the act permitting re-
tention of the taxes followed confer
ences of legislators at which it was de-
cided that since the State had, for the
first time in its history, large sur
plus in the State treasury it was not
in need OF this money in event of its
collection and that the local jurisdic-
tions could make better use Of it. A
further thought was that the local au-
thoritieS would try harder to collect
back taxes If they knew that they could
retain the entire amount instead of
turning over the States share as has
always been done.
Attorney General Rules.
IN his opinion as to the constitu-
tionality of the act, Col. Saunders, says:
IT have read this act with care and
am of the opinion that it is in conflict
with section 1856 of the constitution and,
therefore. invalid
Section 1856 of the constitution pro-
vides that all taxes of the State shall
be collected by It's proper ofncerS and
paid into the State treasury. No money
shall be paid out of the State treasury
except in pursuance of appropriations
made by law ="
Chapter 81 of the acts of 1880 does
not require the delinquent State taxes
on real and tangible personal prop
erty to be paid into the State treas
ury, but provides that they shall be
paid into the local treasury in VIOLA
ton of section 1876 of the constitution.
tive drafting during the session of 1880,
informs me that he advised the patron
of the bill, which became chapter 81
of the acts of 1880, that the same was
unconstitutional. In this opinion
fully concur"
