AS the situation stands at present, it will be

rather odd. not to say disheartening. to have
the express buses taken Of and fares raised
from 81. rs to $500 per week at the time.
There was, also, notice passed around. few
days ago, notifying us that our utilities are to
be raised about $3.50 per month. This, too. seems
rather out of proportion since paying

ONE TAXPAYERS OPINION ON TRANSFORMATION
TO the Editors,
Although the recomendation Of the Transportation
Committee Of the Citizens Associ alton accepted
by that group at their last meeting, the effect Of
this approval be farreaching into the pockets
of all residents of Greenbe1t".
The Committee admitted that the present system
costly and not self-sustaining. They offered. in
their ways to cut this loss but did
not show that with the fare, there would be
deficit under their plan. With the passage Of
these recommended ons. the Committee has tool to
work with in having our town admin stration become
the Of contract for their plan Of subsidi zed
transportation.
Should town underwrite this proposed service
which, according to the Committee, Will show small
loss until there bus riders, we, the tex
payers, would in way pay for this loss that
fellow citizens have limited service to and
from their work.
It is your duty, every resident Of Greenbelt. to

In addition to the justices Of the

as follows:
/. That she is a resident of

That said abandonment and deser-

New Magistrates
System In Effect
In The Counties
Fixed Salary Instead Of
Fees Provided In Bill
Signed Last Week i.

The new trial magistrates system,
provided for in House Bill No. 720,
signed last week by Governor
O'Conor, goes into effect this week,
June /, throughout the % counties
of Maryland. The antiquated and
unfair "fee" system has vanished
with the signing of this new law.
A total of seventy-five Trial Mag
istrates are provided, with Baltimore
County having the largest number,
fourteen, and Allegany, Washington
and Frederick counties are given five
each; Cecil, Garrett, Hartford and
Worcester, four each; and from one
to three for each of the remaining
counties.
In prescribing the duties of the
magistrates, the Bill stipulates that
"any civil or criminal action or pro-
ceeding instituted before justice of
the peace, other than a trial magis-
said justice, by a transfer of the
compensation. on pro-rata basis,
original papers, with copy of the
docket entries, to the nearest or only
trial magistrate Of the county for
trial and determination or other
action within his jurisdiction, etc"
Trial magistrates "shan have and
possess power to suspend sentence in
any case within their jurisdiction,
provided that such suspension is
made at the trial and not after
judgment has been pronounced"
Stipulated in the title of the Bill,
as part of its purpose, is "to make
applicable to all the counties the
policy heretofore applied by law in
Baltimore City and to a partial ex-
tent in certain counties, of substi-
tuting salaries for the fees paid in
civil and criminal cases as the
method of compensating justices of
the peace for the performance of
their dutie in such cases, and to pro-
vide for the payment of such sal
aries by the County Commissioners"
In Baltimore county, for instance,
the salary specified in the Bill for
the magistrate at Towson is $4,000
per year, with six others receiving
$1,000 and the remaining seven,
$1,000 per year. The highest sal
aries provided are for the two sit
ting magistrates at Cumberland
$500 per year each. Salaries of
the remaining magistrates through
out the counties, many of whom will
sit only part-time, range down to
$500 per year.
Justices of the peace other than
trial magistrates will receive $4,000
