Committee Gets Bills
Fer u. of Md. BUILDINGS

ANNAPOLIS, March 27 (P).-TWo
amendments to bond issues passed
by the 1899 and 1941 Legislatures
were before the House Ways and
Means Committee today, providing
for immediate needs of the Univer-
sity of Maryland's war training pro-
gram and for repairs and minor
construction at three other State
institutions.
An amendment to the 1899 bond
issue would permit cash balance
of $49,581 in the State treasury to
be appropriated for completion of
the University of Maryland Armory.
This is the balance of an original
100000 for a Naval Reserve armory.
The rapid completion of this
armory figures largely in the Army's
military training program" Com
mittce Chairman John S. White
said, adding that the two bills had
been approved by the administra-
ton.
However, under the conditions
under which it now is being erected,
completion in the near future is not
possible"
Mr.. White said that Maj. Gen.
Milton A. Reckord, chief of the
Sd Service Command, had urged
Gov. O'Conor to help expedite COM
p.etion of the armory at College
Park.
The amendment to the 1941 bond
issue provides that s42S,00o not used
lest ,car be ellocated to the Uni
yarsi..y OF Maryland for dormitories
to house men under the specialized
Army training program.
Mr.. White said it was understood
the number of men to be sent to
College Park by the Army would
be limited only by the facilities.

Maryland Senate "
Wants More Time
On Statewide Bills
Calls for New Plan
To Group Measures
Found Strictly LocoI
BY the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, March 27.-The
Legislative Council had another
work program outlined for it today,
to see whether county legislation
might not be grouped in classes to
which uniform laws might apply.
The assignment came in a reso-
luton passed by a unanimous vote
OF the State Senate yesterday which
declared that State wide bills were
being enacted without proper and
adequate consideration" because so
much time was consumed with local
bills.
The resolution was introduced by
Senator John B. Funk, Democrat
OF Frederick, and Senate President
Arthur H. Brice. 1t called on the
Legislative Council to make a study
OF the entire problem and repor,
to the General Assembly at the
next session.
1he resolution said, in part:
lhe members of the Legislature
nave a tremendous amount of time
consumed in the consideration of To-
cal legislation and, accordingly,
have less time to consider important
Statewide legislation
This lack of time for considera :
ton of important State legislation
causes the enactment of laws with
out proper and adequate consider
alton, and if the volume of local
legislation was reduced, a definite
Improvement in State wide legisla-
ton would result"
The resolution was adopted short
ly after the Senate had been asked
to repeal local law making it un-
lawful to sell Jamaica and picnic
ginger in Somerset County.
Canadian Thistle Banned.
A few minutes later the Senate
passed bill repeating a Queen
Anne County law which made it
unlawful for any person to permit
the weed known as Canadian thistle
on his land.
The Legislative Council also was
asked to study local charters to see
whether they could not be made
uniform. to consolidate as much
local legislation as possible into uni
form Statewide bills, to study the
advisability Of giving more authority
to county commissioners so that
trivial legislati ton might be elimi.
mated, and to submit at the next ses.
sion such bills deemed necessary
Ito carry out the intent of this reso-
luton"

fronting the teachers in the public

nations may be discouraged.

provided by the State must be aug
mented by the county if the teach
ers are to receive $40 month from

period OF II months. It urges that
the commissioners appropriate the
necessary $113 for each teacher In
order to meet the $227 per teacher
appropriated by the State.

Assembly to pass legislation making
1t mandatory to include in the Stat,
budget for 1945 sufficient funds t,
assure the teachers of a continued
bonus for the duration of the wa
and six months thereafter.
