STATE MONEY
: EXHAUSTED IN
J: MARYLAND

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March Is.
To-day found the State Of Mary
land with no legislation enacted
for relief purposes and no money
in the treasury to meet its current
expenses, which resulted in Comp
troller William S. Gordy stopping
all payments from the treasury ex-
cept dedicated funds and trust
monies.
Speaker Emanuel Gorfine CD
Baltimore, rushed bill in the
House of Delegates to enact
State general sales tax Of 2 per
cent on all sales estimated to raise
$6,00O,000.
Stops Funds
Federal Relief Administrator
Harry l.. Hopkins has warned Gov.
Harry w. Nice and legislative
leaders that unless money to meet
relief needs was assured by
today that relief funds would be
stopped.
The Federal Government is de.
manding that Maryland raise $8,-
100000 for relief. The State plans
to raise not more than $4,000, 900,
and use the remainder of the pro-
ceeds from the sales tax for old
age pensions and annuity bond
funds.
The sales tax must pass, despite
determined opposition in the
House and Senate, State leaders
say.
Comptroller Gordy said today
his stopping Of all payments by
the State was due to the failure
Of the legislature to pass the State
budget bill and consequently the
proposed $8,500,000 bond issue
bill. This money was to be used
for current expenses.

Further difficulty was encoun.

yesterday to concur in a House
amendment to the budget bill
which cut out $4,000 for pay.
ment of hired lawyers to examine
titles for land for the State roads
commission. The difference will
have to be settled today, prob
ably by a conference committee.
The action of Comptroller
Gordy probably will mean that
the legislators, who usually draw
money on Friday will, for the
second time this season, find pay
ments stopped. The first STOP
page resulted in the State bor-
rowing $1,0O0,000 but this has
been expended.
