Maryland Reports
Safest Holiday
BY the Associated Press

Despite the return of automobiles
in prewar numbers to the highways
on Independence Day and record
crowds at shores and ocean resorts,
Maryland enjoyed what perhaps was
it's most safe and sane" Fourth in
many years.
Only one drowning and one traffic
fatality had blotted the record.
The one traffic death reported was
that of Dorothy Marie Young
colored infant, of Trappe, who was
thrown from an automobile when it
|sideswiped a pole near Easton yes
terday.
The drowning occurred in Cypress
Creek. Anne Arundel County, when
Carlos Rodriguez, 26, Baltimore
failed in his attempt to swim across
the creek and went under.
Estimates placed the holiday
crowd at Ocean City at more than
10000 for what may have been an
all-time record at the resort.
Two motor boat explosions were
the most spectacular accidents of
the day. Both occurred in Anne
Arundel County waters and injured
a total of five persons, all Balti-
moreanS.
Another record in what turned
out to be day of record-setting was
marked up by the Sandy Point
Matapeake ferries. An official of
the State-owned system said that
the boats were being shuttled back
and forth across the Chesapeake
Bay as quickly as possible and that
If the rush continued the system
would have its biggest week ever.

Fairfax Supervisors
Submit Dumping Plan
For Public Hearinq

The Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors has authorized publica-
ton of a proposed amendment to
the county trash dump ordinance
for public hearing and inspected a
site for a proposed incinerator in a
new move to provide facilities for
trash disposal.
The present ordinance prohibits
the dumping of trash, except that
originating on the same property,
unless a permit is obtained. The
amendment would allow any prop
erty owner to permit dumping on
his property. when compensation
was not charged, without requiring
permit.
Under the amendment, 1t will still
be necessary to obtain a permit an
nually if a charge is made.
The board made an inspection
tour of a site suitable for a Cotton
incinerator.
H. w. Peter, chairman of the
Public Affairs Committee of the
Mount Vernon District Citizens AS
sociation, requested the board to
consider the establishment of a
sanitary district in the eastern part
of Mount Vernon district, from the
Potomac River to Fort Hunt road.
The request was referred to G. Hub
bard Massey, County consulting en-
gineer, for a preliminary survey.
On motion of Supervisor Burns N
Gibson, the board named a COM
mittee, consisting of Commissioner
Of Revenue James U. Kincheloe,
County Clerk Thomas P. Chapman,
jr.; County Treasurer Lewis M.
Coyner, Commemorative Attorney
Hugh B. Marsh, County Executive
Secretary R. M. Doughborough and
Supervisor Herbert Blunt, to study
legislation authorizing a pension
and retirement plan for all county
employees. The county already has
a retirement and pension system for

Planning Commission for f1ve-year
term. Mr.. Price was recently elect
ed chairman of the commission to

Before Montgomery County can
be considered permanently safe
from the disease" Mr.. Anderson
said, "the cooperation of local dog
owners must be matched by resi-
dents of the District, Prince Georges,
Arlington and Fairfax Counties and
Alexandria.
Approximately 10000 dogs were
vaccinated during 1914 and 1916
the two years in which the county
program was in effect-at a cost to
the county of about $4,000. The
sum was matched by the Maryland

DC. Suffrage Speaker
Sees Congress Power
Misused for Control

Framers of the Constitution did
not intend that Congress exclusive
legislative power over the District
should infringe on the right OF SELF
government, Wilbur S. Finch, presi-
dent of the Central Suffrage Con-
ference, declared last night.
In an address over WRC which
climaxed an Independence Day
drive for local self-government, Mr..
Finch asserted the primary purpose
of the founding fathers in granting
Congress such power was to exclude
the District from the jurisdiction Of
any of the States, adding:
TT is inconceivable that the men,
bers of the Constitutional Conven-
ton really meant that any provision
of that instrument would be con-
strued almost two centuries later as
a denial of any right, political or
otherwise, to a group of American
citizens equal in number to one
third Of the total population of the
young nation they created"
Declaring that the Districts physi-
cal growth had not been matched
politically. Mr.. Finch said that "it
is for this reason that citizens Of
the District on each succeeding July
4 cannot help but reflect upon our
political status and realize how
futile have been the sacrifices of our
forebearers in blood. in sweat and in
tears to secure for us those political
