Point In Blue LGIU
Being Settled Today

BALTIMORE, Oct. 31.-Another
knotty point in the old blue laws
of Baltimore will be argued to-
day in police court. A young
driver of a bakery truck was
arrested for delivering bread
from the bakery to one of its
branch retail stores on Sunday.
Police insist the bread was in
tended for sale, even though it
would not be sold until Monday,
hence violated the law. The
youths defense is that he was
merely transferring the bread on
the Sabbath, and that he vio-
lated no law, raising a point
apparently unsettled before.

Maryland Leaders to Thresh
Out Plans for Substitute
For Present System

Turning county roads over
to the State Roads Commission
to provide a Statewide Sec
ondary system and the raising
of funds for State education
through an inheritance or sales
tax is to be threshed out by
county leaders of Maryland at
a meeting planned for No
vember Is or II in Annapolis.
In "feel-out" among the
heads of several western Mary
land counties, an attitude of re-
volt was shown when a majority
favored the retention of county
roads by the county and the
use Of a sales tax to raise reve-
nueS to run the school system,
it was reported last week.
Relief for Counties
Feeling that the State roads
body has developed fully it's in
terState system with receipts from
the 12-cent gas tax, Democratic
forces are now talking up the
development of county roads by
the State body and relieving
counties of their separate road
tax. The principal backer of
this idea at the western Mary
land meeting was Lacy Shaw,
county head of Montgomery
County. He said:
mot only would the roads
commission develop all county
roads along planned and SyS-
tematic lines, but it would give
Montgomery county a $4,000 q
year cut in its budget.
"AS for the school idea, our
plan is to oppose it because we
cannot be assured of a regular
stated income from a sales tax,
while an inheritance tax is even
less secure and incomes are al
ready taxed enough. A State
wide sales tax is handicapped in
its operation much more than
a nationwide sales tax.
Want Regular Income
"We want to use a regular in.
come for developing both
schools and rOadS-the gas tax
for roads and the present tax
system for schools"
Members of the State roads COM
mission and education heads of
the State are expected to attend
the Annapolis parley along with
the States financial experts in
order to prepare a united pro-
gram to present to the State leg
islature next January, it was said.
