City Port Commission And
State Ports Authority
Petitioned For Action

Dredging on the Cape Fear
River channel, suspended on
November Z due to lack of
funds, will be resumed short
ly following the release of
SIS, 000,0 900 by Reconversion
Director John R. Steelman. it
was announced yesterday by
the Wilmington district office
of U. S. Army Engineers. This
amount, slated for use in
maintenance dredgi n g
throughout the nation, had
been frozen by government officials

petition calling for resumption Of
work on the projects by the vii.
mington Port Commission and the
North Carolina Ports Authority
which had pressed for the lifting
of the freeze on the money aEocat-
ed for this work.
Although no certain amount has
been slated for use on the various
state waterway projects, officials

t-y according to needs, it was
felt sure that a fair share Of the

in North Carolina. .
The final disposition of funds will
not come until estimates of needs

Calls for Tax Cuts
by the Assoeioted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 6.-Suggest-
ing that the State reduce tax levies,
Gov. O'Conor announced yesterday
that at the close of the fiscal year
June 80 Maryland had a surplus of
S11 1892, ,46950.
He declared the States financial
condition was never healthier and
the tax on real estate was at the
lowest point in 95 years.
He said he believed the real estate
tax could be reduced further, even
to the point where it could be abol-
isf1ed altogether. The Governor also
repeated an earlier suggestion that
the State income tax be reduced
by making Federal income taxes a
deductible item on State returns.
OF the present surplus the Gov
ernor said 100000 was reserved
as a working fund and 1867 ,529.2 .29
was earmarked for udget-balancing
purposes for this years operations.

Day Proposes
New Road Code
InMontgonnery
Regulations Would
Govern Routes
In Subdivisions

Willard F. Day, supervisor for
Montgomery County, today sub
mitted to the County Board of Com
missioners proposed code Of rules
to govern roads in new subdivisions.
The code, he said, was prepared
after conferences with the county
engineer, individual members of the
Board of Commissioners and rep
Iresentatives of the Home Builders
Association of Metropolitan Wash
ington.
The regulations provide that be-
fore the county engineer issues a
permit for road construction the
subdivision plan must be approved
by the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
This provision, Mr.. Day explained
was created because some subdiv-
iders in the past have gone ahead
with building and surfacing OF
roads without consulting the county
engineer.
The code sets forth minimum
specifications for such roads and
provides that the county will take
over the roads and maintain them
only If these specifications are
adhered to.
One specification is that the mini
mum width shall be 26 feet and the
base of the roads be constructed
according to rules of the Maryland
State Roads Commission.
1t is further provided that the
county engineer shall not issue a
permit without adequate measures
being taken to insure proper storm
damage.
On all principal streets or roads
the proposal continues, sidewalks
with minimum width of 4 feet
must be installed on each side of the
road, as we'll as concrete curbs and
cutters.
