| From Titles Expected
| To Be Cut OFF
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 8.-Far-reach-
ing economies in Maryland State
departmental operations we're con-
sidered today to Offset an estimated
100000 loss in titling taxes through
stoppage Of automobile sales.
A preliminary report submitted to
Gov. O'Conor by State fiscal officers
were turned over to the budget di-
rector yesterday with the request
that he make definite recommended
tions as to possible savings through
curtailment. and in some cases out
right elimination. of eight specific
items of expenditure by State de-
partments.
Economies Suggested.
Gov. O'Conor said he had in
structed the budget director to
recommend amounts that can be
saved through:
Elimination Of expenses incident
to attendance at conventions by rep
resentatives of all State depart
ments.
Elimination of the printing and
circulation of annual reports Of
various departments.
Reduction in use of State -owned
motor vehicles, particularly between
points served by public carriers, and
by limiting strictly the use Of auto
mobiles to ofdcial business.
Curtilment of expenditures for
publicity.
Elimination of the preparation,
printing and circulation Of the
Maryland Manual.
Reductions in departments, oper-
alton of which would be restricted
through the lessening of automobile
traffic and of licensing Of motor
vehicles.
Welfare Reductions.
Reductions, in welfare costs made
possible by greater employment in
industrial areas.
Reduction in expenditures for
prison population, contingent upon
! use of inmates in defense work.
while it is impossible to state
with certainty. at this time, the
amounts that can be saved in these
categories, I am confident that the
reduction will be substantial" the
Governor said.
"In addition to the proposals
enumerated" he said, Il intend to
have additional investigation made
in regard to other savings in the
various State departments. From
present indications, I think that
sufficient savings can be effected
without reducing salaries"

The greenwipg teal isn't credited
with being so early migrant as the

on South Jersey marshes late in
August and in the Chesapeake coun-

by the time real shooting weather
arrives they have gone on south.
The migratory route of those
greenwings found on the Atlantic
flyway is Identical with that of the
canvasback. Just another mystery

If it's an overcast day they'll come
