climbed out Of the red into the black

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. April 6.-An ordi-
nance empowering the Commission on
City Planning to require real estate
developers to conform to city plans
as regards street layouts, graves and
municipal services is being completed
for submission to the City Council.
The ordinance in brief would require
all those proposing to lay out new de-
velopments to have their plans ap-
proved by the commission as requisite
to the issuance of permits by city
bureaus and the supplying Of water,
sewerage and other municipal services.
Need Long Apparent.
The need for such powers, accord
ing to members Of the commission,
long has been apparent. The body
has been endeavoring, through per-
suasion, to induce developers to f1t
their schemes into the city plan, but
in a number of cases have not been
successful. Hence it was deemed nee
eSsary to enact an ordinance granting
the commission definite powers to this
end.
A development scheme that was re-
Gently before the Bureau of Buildinal
and the Board of Zoning Appeals is
cited at the City Hall as illustrating
the need for such a measure. The
developer had proposed erection of
houses on his thoroughfare with the
backs of half of them toward cottages
on Harwood avenue.
Refused by Bureau.
A permit was refused by the Bureau
Of Buildings on the ground that the
houses would be so close together that
side yard and population density pro-
visions of the zoning law would be vio-
lated. The concern appealed to the
Zoning Board, but that body turned
down the plan and upheld the action
OF the Buildings Bureau.

1t is certainly not news that the

HIGHEST rate of automobile tax OF
any state in the union. When
we figure our auto tax on basis
of five gallons a week Gas con
sumption in an automobile that
carries the minimum priced tag
of $3.50 per year the total sum
of our tax amounts to S44.75 per
year.
The aforesaid statement sounds
big, but figure it out yourself.
But what is worse we have no
evidence of any let up of the eX-
tortion. You and l have been
promised year after year by
those who represent Us in RAJ

help cut auto tags in this legisla-
