Another Two Years To Lift
Blue Law Ban

Those residents Of Montgomery
County who are eager to have Sun

the bill providing for relaxing the

The Montgomery bill, which origi-
mated in the House, was passed by
that body by large majority, but
Senator Robert G. Hilton took the
view that great majority Of the
people were opposed to such legisla'
ton, and therefore declined to re
port the bill from a select committed
to which it was referred.

Stoking up of furnaces for the Winter

plants to the District Health Depart
ment that the smoke nuisance law is
being violated, and today the number
of smoke inspectors was increased to
three in order to check the complaints.
Acting Health Officer E. j. Schwartz
said today that only one inspector is
carried through the Summer months,
but it is necessary to increase the force
to cope with the complaints when cold
weather starts.
Several complaints received related to
large apartment houses. DIR. Schwartz

proprietors of a large hotel building
