ZIG Bills Await
The Signature OF
Governor O'COnOr
Several Important County
Bills Pushed Through At
Last Minute

Many important county measures
await the Governors signature as this
newspaper goes to press. A pile of
IT'S bills was stacked high on Govern
or O'Conor's desk, the survivors of
1854 measures introduced in the 1899
session of the Maryland General As
sembly. The 578 casualties were
buried in committee or slaughtered
outright on the floor.
In the maze of Montgomery County
measures passed at the last moment
were several important bits of legis-
lation.
A Montgomery enactment would re-
quire hospitals, doctors, nurses, dent
lists and pharmacists to report to po-
lice any cases where persons are
treated for injuries caused or believed
to have been caused by a lethal wea-
pom or automobile accident.
An important Rockville bill would
provide a $4,000 bond issue for the
town. Still another local measure pro-
vides for the extension of the town
limits.
Bills affecting the county police set
up and providing for bond issues for
liquor control in the town of Pooles-
vile = were among the last minute
legislation.
A bill defining the sanitary district
boundaries was passed. So were other
bills affecting the sewerage in Rock
vile, Gaithersburg and other towns.
The appointment of police under a
local civil service system is one i'm
portant change made by the delega-
ton at Annapolis. Anti-gambling laws
were strengthened in Montgomery
County through bills prohibiting the
numbers game and providing that
suspected headquarters be raided
without warrants. High taxes were
provided for pinball and slot ma
chimes.
