mess Booming

The marriage business at the Elk
ton Gretna Green is booming. Boost
ed by more stringent laws in New
York and New Jersey, new high
records are being made. During Aug
ust 1874 marriage licenses were is
sued by the Clerk of Court at Elk
ton.
That total brought to 9,059 the
number OF licenses issued in Cecil
County this year, compared to 6,71S
for the same period last year and APP
proximately 1900 during all OF
1897.
Monthly totals have jumped sharp
ly since June, in which 1926 licens-
es were issued in Elkton. The July
figure was 1918.
During August of last year only
ninety-one. couples came from New
York, while the figures for this Aug
ust were 522 New Jersey sent ISL
couples in August, 1887. and ass
last month.
Elkton's major industry is oper-
ating now under the cloud of refer
endum which may destroy it. In the
November election the voters will
decide on a law requiring forty-eight
hours notice before a marriage Ii
cense is issued. II the majority ap-
prove the law, it becomes effective.
The 1897 Legislature enacted that
law, but enough names were secur-
ed to a petition opposing it to make
it ineffective until passed on in the
next general election.
