County Jurisdiction
OF Roads Backed by
Prince Georges Group
Proposal to Provide
Weights and Measure
Inspector Approved

A legislative program. including
recommendation that the State
Legislature place all Prince Georges
County (Md.) roads under the
countys jurisdiction, was approved
by the County Federation of Cit
liens Associations at its meeting
last night in the Bladensburg Fire
house. w
.sThe Federation also urged the
passage, of legislation providing for
aweights and measures inspector in
the county. q
Declaring that county gas tax re-
ceipts have dropped sharply because
of gasoline rationing, the Federation
said that the placing of all county
roads under the county's jurisdiction
might remove the necessity for an
increase in taxes to offset the de-
crease in gas tax receipts.
1t was pointed out that some OF
the roads in the county are now
maintained by the State Roads
Commission. which consequently re-
ceives the revenue for their use.
William A. Carson, chairman o.
the Board of County Commissioners
last week predicted that such an in.
crease might be necessary unless ad.
ditional gas tax revenue was forth
coming.
The federation asked the county
commissioners to hold their weekly
meetings alternately in Hyattsvill'
and Upper Marlboro in view of tht
gas and tire shortage.
In addition, the commissioner!
were urged to establish branch Of
fees of the Circuit Court clerk ane
county treasurer in the County Serv

Why London:
Why Is London urged, rather

best guess seems to be that Lon

a more Observation-Disclosures i'm

Of the Potomac. We're accustomed
to having English negotiators visit
the District of Columbia; they're an
old story. But if we send Senators
Barley and McNary, Speaker

Cormack and Martin across TO the
edge Of the Thames, it'll create a
stable splash, as a new thing.
They're alleged to have been in

out by degrees. Parenthetically, Of

Anyway, suppose a dozen or so
Of our conspicuous statesmen make

Whatll be the subject OF their

Nominally it'll center on United

the question Of subsequent peace

But won't some sort of a postwar

It's safe bet that federation
