Playground Referendum
Planned for August 5

By Staff Correspondent of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, May 3l.-A
referendum on a 100000 park and
playground bond issue, proposed by
the City Planning Commission, has
been set tentatively for August 5,
pending a report by City Attorney
Armistead L. Boothe.
The City Council, which may hear
Mr.. Boothe's opinion on the pro-
posal Tuesday night, agreed to the
referendum several months ago, fol-
lowing defeat of moves to authorize
the bond issue. Under the resolu-
ton authorizing the referendum,
however, the public vote would
merely be advisory to the city Of
flcials.
City Manager Carl Budwesky said
the August date had been chosen
to coincide with the Democratic
primary so that expenses could be
kept to a minimum.

Pennsylvania and New York firms
purchase most of Maryland's maple
strip sold wholesale.
Maple sugar and sirup production
reached its peak in this State about
1910 and since has been gradually
decreasing, the crop statistician
declared.
In 1910 Maryland production
totaled $4,000 gallons. Sugar output
in 1910 totaled 5000 pounds, COM
pared with the 1929 1888 average of
10000 pounds.
Maryland production, in any
event, is only drop in the Nations
maple sirup and sugar bucket. Ver-
mont, New York and Ohio lead in
maple sugar and strip production,
with Maryland in tenth rlace."
