OTHERS DENIED
|, PRIORITY ON
DEPOSITS
Baltimore City Loses Out When
Tribunals Decision Fixes
Closed Banks Status

ANNAPOLIS, July 8.-No funds
In closed banks of Maryland
with the possible exception oi
State moneys, can be given pre-
ferred claim over other deposits
the Court of Appeals has decided
In a series Of opinions resulting
from attacks on the emergency
banking act.
Restriction Of all deposits is
within the power of the State,
the court decided.
No Priority Granted
In the opinions written by Chief
Judge Carroll T. Bond, it was
held that under the new bank
ing act no priority for deposits
could be granted Baltimore city,
the bank commissioner as re-
ceiver for the defunct CheSa-
peake Bank of Baltimore, indi-
viduals having money held in
trust, or taxpayers who paid
their levy bills to one Of the
closed banks prior to February %.
The question of priority of
State funds, raised in the appeal
of the State Roads Commission
that its funds in the Union
Trust Company be given prefer
ence as they are State funds,
was not decided. An order for
reargument of that point was
issued with no date set by the
court.
City Loses Out
Granting of priority to the
city over deposits in the Balti-
more Trust Company would be
"a partial, unequal appropria-
ton of rights and interests of
deferred depositors and cannot
be supported under the police
power of the State or any
emergency power and must there
fore be held invalid" the court
ruled,

VIOLATORS
OF CIGARETTE Law
Failure to Attach License
Stamps More Common Along
Borders Of State

Arrest of dealers who fail to at
tach state license stamps to cigaret
packages are increasing according to
r. E. Smith, deputy director OF the
state regulatory department. 1nspec-
tors of the department find the num-
ber Of violations Of the cigarette IL
cense law more common In towns
along the border Of the state than
those in the central part, Smith said.
Several dealers have pleaded guilty
and paid fines recently, Smith said.
and several others have been bound
over to the district court upon their
refusal to admit their guilt before q
justice OF the peace. The minimum
fine that can be assessed for violation
of the law Is 500 and the maximum
$500. The fines 60 to the school funds
Of the state.
ut would seem the average dealer
would rather pay the tax than the
fine, Smith said. because the mini
mum fine of 500 will buy lot Of IL
cense stamps and in several instances
judges have assessed the maximum
fine recently"
Not all the violations are confined
to small towns, Smith declared, and
there are q number Of cases now
pending in Fargo, Grand Forks and
Minot. Bismarck has been remark
ably free from violations, due perhaps
to the fact that the regulatory de-
partment Is located here and dealers
are more afraid Of being caught than
In the smaller towns.
The department receives letters
every day regarding violations Of the
law, but people giving the information
are unwilling to sign complaint for
the dealers arrest. In that case the
department has to depend upon the
inspector being able to pay surprise
visit to the dealer and try to make
buy where the stamps are not at
tached. The trouble with that method
is that dealers soon get to know who
the inspectors are and are very care
full about having license stamps at
tached to packages as long as they are
In town." he said.
