MARRIAGE LAW REMAINS
SAME PENDING PETITION
Six Thousand Voters Sign Paper,
While Law Allows Thirty Days
More to Secure 1000 Additional
PERMITS ISSUED AS USUAL

The two-day wait for a marriage
licenses in the State of Maryland will
not go into effect for another thirty
days, and then perhaps not until after
the next general election in the State
according to information received II
Oakland Monday evening by A. G
Ross, Clerk of the Circuit Court. Lii
censes are thus being issued as the
applicants appear. The law was to
become effective June 1.
A petition, prepared, it is said by the
taxi drivers and some Of the ministers
in Elkton, has six thousand signers
asking for a referendum on the law be-
fore it becomes effective. The petition
ers, under the referendum law, have
an additional thirty days in order to
secure the other 1000 names necessary
before such request for referen-
dunn is legal and the voters Of the en-
tire State can participate at the cleo
ton of 1888.
If the remaining 1000 names are OBJ
tanned within the prescribed period
then the question of the laws adoption
or rejection will be placed upon the
ballot at the next general election.

license bureau, Al applications being
granted up to Monday evening. During
May 155 licenses were granted, max
ing a total of 593 for the first five
