Use Sale Tax To
Get Relief Fund

raise $6,500,000 ION the table for fur
ture consideration" and has voted, Sc
to So, in favor of the sales tax az
ga last resort"
Neither House took any action
whatsoever today on relief matters.
Governor Nice announced that the
State House and Executive Office had
been flooded all day with kilograms
opposing both a sales tax and the
special list of taxes settled upon last

levy's place.

to play a prominent part in all dis
cussions concerning methods of rails
ing relief revenue. He is chairman Of
the joint subcommittee Of the Legis-

difficulties.
Two new bills were introduced in
the House by Montgomery County

county police sergeants instead of
five, passed the lower chamber yes
terday.

point a commission to investigate all
practical sources for indirect revenue.
Miss Shoemaker's bill would auth
orize a 100000 Montgomery County
refunding bond issue. A bill introduc-
ed by Mr.. Candy related TO petitions

ice" Demanded OF County
Commissioners

The Montgomery County Civic Fed
Grafton Endorsed the "home rule"
policy at its monthly meeting Tues
day night when it went on record as
opposing four measures now pending
before the State Legislature. The
Federation also asked that the Board
of County Commissioners immediate
ly reinstate those policemen retired
by the board and who are eligible for
unemployment under the terms of the
recent bill successfully piloted
through the Maryland General
Assembly by Sen. Stedman Prescott.
The bills which the federation spe-
officially urges the Senator and Dele

1. Transfer of the appointment of
the County Liquor Control Board to
the Governor.
2. Transfer of appointment Of the
supervisor of school property to the
Governor.

supervisor of county aid to the Gov
ernor.
! A. Placing in the hands of Board
of State Aid and Charities control
over the appointment of county well
fare boards responsible for admins
tering county relief from county
funds.
The matter of enlargement of the
county police force and reinstatement
of Is of its former members came in
for discussion and recommendation
I, The federation adopted the resolution
of it's committee which declared.
"It is understood that members of
the police force who are eligible for
reinstatement have rendered them
selves for reinstatement, but have
thus far not been reinstated, despite
the specific mandate of the law and
the inadequacy and inexperience of
the present force" and went on to de-
mand of the county commissioners
that, Gin the interest of the safety
and welfare of the citizens of the
county" they shall Immediately and
without further delay carry out the
mandate of the law"
The federation also went on record
as approving legislation banning the
retail sale of alcoholic beverages on
Sunday, but recommended an amend
ment which would prevent extension
of the closing hour of retail liquor
dispensers "from IL midnight to l
A. M, except Saturday night"
A bill pending in the Senate au-
thorizing the sale of hard liquor by
the drink in "high-class" eating
places throughout Montgomery Coun-
ty was opposed on the ground that it
would mitigate against the best in
terests of the county and is in viola
ton of prevailing sentiment"
