BUDGET GIVES
LARGE AMOUNT
TO STATE ROADS
Provides More Than Ever To Be
Expended On Roads During
Any 2-Year Period

Governor Herbert r. O'Conor's
budget for 1942-1943, now before
the Legislature, provides the largest
amount ever to be expended on the
roads of the State in any two-year
period.
In presenting the figures, Governor
O'Conor declared, ut is gratifying
to know that a much larger amount
will be available for road construc-
ton under the new Budget. The
1941 total appropriations from Spec
ial Funds are $22,778,11O.23. The
1912 Special Fund appropriations to-
tai $24,311,8 75.16, an increase of
$1,433,764.93. A large portion of
this increase represents additional
funds for road building and mainte-
nance. The 1913 Special Fund ap-
preparations are $24,767, 619.O8 or
$3.50, 1882 net increase. This, also,
will make possible additional road
construction.
"In the preparation of the budget
for the State Roads Commission,
have caused it to be calculated in
such manner that the entire product
of the Accent Gasoline Tax and the
whole of the Income from Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles have been
dedicated to road purposes. In this
reSDect have faithfully adhered
to my sound conviction and promise
that all road incomes shall be applied
to road purposes, and that none shall
be diverted to other uses"
Noting that scarcity of funds and
diversions to other purposes during
the years previous to his Administra-
ton had caused the roads system
generally to deteriorate, Governor
O'Conor included in the Budget ap.
proximately $4,000, 100000 for the two
year period for maintenance and re-
construction.
The increased funds provided fol
construction and maintenance fur
nished further proof, if further proc.
were needed, that Governor O'Conor'.
promise at his Inauguration would b.
fulfilled to the best of his ability
and that under this administration
the roads of Maryland once again
would obtain a place of excellence
among the roads of the nation.

Annual Meeting
OF Associated
Charities
Contributed

The fifteenth annual meeting Of
the Associated Charities of Mega
les was held Monday night at 40s
Grand Avenue.
The annual report revealed that
the work IF the organization hac
expanded materially for the yeal
1940 and that a large amount Of
material aid had been extended
during that period
Through funds furnished by the
organization more than score Of
crippled children had been furn-
ished with transportation to Tue
son where they could attend the
medical and surgical clinic.
Likewise, several local school
children who were in danger OF
having to leave school on account
of eye trouble were furnished with
glasses and thus enabled to contin-
ue their education.
Then, too, it was reported that a
large amount of material aid in
the form of food, clothing, fuel
and other necessities had been
i furnished to families and persons
in need during the twelve months
just passed.
Officers for the coming year were
elected to the following posts: Pres
I ident, E. K. Cumming; treasurer
Louis EScalada; executive secretary,
E. S. Edmonson; recording secre-
tary, Mrs. Beulah Wilson.
The board was very favorably i'm
pressed and extended it's sincere
thanks to Mayor Louis Hudgin and
the City Council for the support
and cooperation which they have
extended to the organization during
their tenure of office.
It was decided to start plans
Immediately for a campaign to
raise funds for the coming year
The dates fer the drive have been
tentatively set for February 4tf
and 5th. Committees for the pur-
| pose will be appointed in the neal
future and it is hoped that all To-
cal people will cooperate and make
| the campaign successful.

ernor's message to the new legisla.
ture would contain several tins oil
controversial nature, chiefly those
centering around the state hospi.
tai, old age pensions, and the Dem.
ocratic party's platform to reduce
state governmental costs.
During his campaign, in which
he defeated former Gov. R. T
Jones in the primary and ther
won the November election over
Republican Jerrie w. Lee, Osborn
pledged himself to support the par.
ty platform in it's entirety.
Principle pledges of the Bourbon
platform included one to place ad
ministration Of the state hosp.ta
under a five-man board to be ap-
pointed by the governor, raising OF
old age pensions to $40 month
~sdUction of costs Of state govern
ment and means of raisig new reve-
nue..
Another item on the Democratic
Party's plstform-that of raising
old age pensions from the present
max mum Of $50 month to $40 9
month-also is expected to be
pushed by Osborn over opposition
of some legislators against rapidly
increasing costs of state govern
ment. It is estimated it would cost
an additional $1,2OO,OOO year tc
raise the old age pension maximum
to $40.
If Osborn sponsors a bill to raise
the cid age pension maximum he
will encounter difficulties in an
other item on the party's platform
"a promise to reduce costs of state
government.
Another matter certain to cause
controversy in the legislature is q
proposal to levy depletion or pro-
duction tax on mining interests ir
order to provide new means Of
raising revenue. Agricultural in
terests in the legislature are re-
portedly backing the depletion tax
claiming that mine operators ir
the state do not share an equitable
part of the tax burden with agri
culture.
Political observers professed tc
see numerous indications in Os-
born's inaugural speech that he
would be the governor-act actually, as
well as in name. At one point, Os-
born told the people that a govern
ment is instituted for the welfare
of society and the purpose of the
governor lis to execute the law
and it is the purpose of the law tc
protect the weak against the strong,
and to promote the well-being OF
all citizens
