Plan 10 Ease Vote
Registration Endorsed

The Montgomery County Civic
Federation last night Endorsed a
proposed amendment to the cleo
ton laws of Maryland reducing the
requirements for registration of
voters.
The federation recommended that
any citizen having all the quail
fications be entitled to resister if
his application is supported by the
afhdavit of two persons already
registered in the precinct in which
he claims residence.
Walter H. McClenon, chairman of
the Committee on Legislation and
and Legal Action, explained that
the present law requires a new
conner to file a declaration of in
tention to become citizen Of Mary
land at least year before he can
vote. MIR. McClenon said no other
State has such requirement and
that consequently many newcomers
fail to meet the requirements of this
law because Of ignorance of its ex-
istence.
Rhees Burkett, president of the
federation, referred to the special
Charter Committee resolution in
troduced by Lewis B. Sims asking
the organization to reaffirm its In
terest in the charter and to encour-
age participation in the hearings
which will be held by the newly
elected charter board.

Montgomery Group
To Ask Redistribution
OF State Gasoline Ia,

The Municipal League Of Mont
gomery County is preparing a bill
for presentation to the Maryland
General Assembly in January seek
ing what it terms more equitable
distribution of the State gasoline
tax. 1t was revealed today.
The group has named a commit
tee to draft bill which would pro-
vide for more equitable" income for
the towns and taxing areas. The
amounts received recently have been
lower than in former years. This,
with rising costs of road construc-
ton and repair, place additional
burdens on the communities, it is
commended.
Another proposal under study by
the league would permit special tex
ing areas to become members of the
organization. Membership now is
limited to incorporated towns.
The league also has appointed q
committee to consider the possibility
of pooling the annual road repair
contracts Of several towns and tax
ing areas. The committee is to de-
termine whether the economy which
might be effected by giving one con-
tractor large consolidated contract
would offset prompt service and
other advantages Of smaller indi-
vidual contracts.
