declarations of intentions" law re-
qulring newcomers to Maryland to
declare intention of becoming citi-
zens a year before becoming eligible
to vote. and a third that would have
set stiff fines and Jail terms for
drunken driving.
Advanced to third reading were
the administration bills lowering the
State real estate tax. calling for
81 100000 bond issue and providing
for purchase of the Claiborne An
napolis Ferry by the State Roads
Commission
The real estate tax-now 1885
cents per $l00-Would become %
cents in 1912 and POTS cents in
1943. This reduction was recon-
mended by Gov. OConor.
Prison Labor Bill.
Also advanced to third reading
was bill amended to eliminate
provision that would have permitted
private contractors to employ prison
labor on State roads. AS amended.
the bill would simply continue the
$500 900 annual grant to the State
Roads Commission to employ penal
labor. Passed last week. the bill
was recalled from the House and
the amendment striking out the
private contractors clause was
made.
The House also became involved
IN several controverSieS-the chief
one being over a measure to pro-
mote and protect rural electric CO.
operative associations-which kept
it in session until 11:5O pm.
The electric cooperative bill ap-
peared to be moving along with
clear sailing when it came out of
the Corporations Committee with a
favorable report, which was adopted
without argument.
But heated argument was set
Off some time later when Demo-
cratic Floor Leader John S. White
moved that the vote on the favor
able report be reconsidered.
Utility Move Charged.
County Delegates objected strenu-
ouSly, asserting there was move
afoot by public utilities to delay and
kill the bill.
So bitterly and effectively did the
county alliance-aided by several
city Delegates-wage their fight,
that Mr.. White withdrew his motion
to reconsider. and the measure was
advanced tn third reading
Defeated by the House were
measures proposing a constitutional
amendment to provide for a uni
cameral legislature; compulsory mo-
tor vehicle liability insurance; re-
peal of the 48-holr marriage license
delay law, and fingerprinting of
persons selling to pawnbrokers.

Kennedy Again Urges
Baltimore Toll Road
Authorization Bill
Calls Present Highway
Most Horrible in
United States
BY the Associated Press.

~ tIlt HScOtIdtcu fItSS'
ANNAPOLIS, March 25.-Describ-
ing the present Washington-Balti-
more boulevard as the most horrible
road in the United States" former
Representative Ambrose j. Kennedy
asserted yesterday the proposed
Washington Baltimore super high
way" would be a fast. safe. un-
congested route vital to national
defense.
Mr.. Kennedy spoke for proponents
House Roads and Highways Com
mittee hearing on Senate bill to
authorize construction of the high
way. Mr.. Kennedy termed the bill,
which has passed the Senate, as
"permissive" legislation.
Meanwhile, at a House WAYS and
Means Committee hearing, opposi-
ton was registered by boards Of
county commissioners to a State
administration proposal to centralize
tax administration in a new State
Department of Revenue and Taxes.
The eight-lane motorWay, estimat-
ed to cost s30,000,000, and a bridge
over the Patapsco River at Balti-
more would be financed entirely by
private capital, Mr. Kennedy said.
and the State would mot have to put
up cent"
He said the project would be COM
pleted in about l8 months, paid for
in Is or 30 years by collection of tolls
and then turned over to the State,
with no strings attached.
Plans Exhibited.
Mr.. Kennedy said the super
highway, if constructed, would be
much safer than the present boule-
ward, relieve traffic congestion and
provide a fast. direct route for any
national defense transportation
emergencies.
In addition, he said, the old road
would remain in use and would be-
come safer when traffic was diverted
to the new highway.
Representatives of the J. E.
Greiner Co., consulting engineers
to the State Roads Commission, ex-
hlbited drawings of the proposed
motorway and the Patapsco Bridge.
They explained that access to the
motorWay from side roads would be
only at certain designated points.
Would Reduce Authority.
At the House Ways and Means
Committee hearing on legislation
containing the RawlS Tax Revision
Commissions main recommended
tions, the county commissioner
groups said the bill would take
away from the county commissioners
the little power they have left"
The tax administration measure.
among other things, would repeal
the county commissioners authority
over assessment of local property.
Under its terms county supervisors
of assessments, and not the county
commissioners, would have the power
to set final assessments.
Seven of the nine Eastern Shore
counties, through their county COM
miSsioners,. termed the measure "ob-
Jectlonable" and Western Shore
county representatives expressed
similar sentiments.
Among those who voiced opposi-
ton to the proposal were: Waldo
Burnside, attorney to the Prince
Georges County commissioners, and
Joseph A. Cantrel, attorney to the
Montgomery County commissioners.
