Appointed Judge Of
Orphans Court

Governor Herbert r. O'Conor last
week announced the appointment of
Munson Jackson, OF Principle Furn-
ace, to the Orphans Court of Cecil
County. The appointee had the en-
dorsement of State Senator Cecil G..
Squier Of Cecil County, as we'll as
of the Judge of the Circuit Court,
the Clerk of the Circuit Court, men,
bers of the Board of County Com
missioners, the States Attorney, the
County Treasurer and members of
the County Bar.
In announcing the appointment,
Governor O'Conor laid emphasis
upon the fact that, in the Democra-
tic Primaries, Mr.. Jackson, was a
candidate for Judge of the Orphans
Court, had received the highest num-
Der of votes exclusive of those NOM
mated.
The Democratic State Central

for the appointment, being unable
to agree upon a recommendation
after holding two meetings. The
vote stood at the end of each meet
ing, three for Sayres Booth of Elk
ton, and three for William D. Ewing

Governor Will Pay State
Income Tax

Governor Herbert R. O'Conor took
steps to allay a cause for complaint
against the State Tax Law when he
announced that despite the ruling
of the Attorney General exempting
salaries of public officials, he person
ally would not claim exemption on
his salary as Governor. He further
expressed the hope that other State
officials exempted by the Attorney
Generals ruling would follow his ex-
ample in refusing to claim exemp-
ton. In so doing, the Governor an
nounced, he was merely following
the same practice as last year, when
he paid his tax without question.
Governor O'Conor also went on
record as favoring revision of the
Income Tax Levy following a close
check upon it's application this year,
to as great an extent as the States
financial condition permits.
