Delegation Kills Bill
On Liquor Sales by
Montgomery Clubs
By J. B. Zotmon
Stor Sfoff Torrssnood.,%

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 29.-The con.
troversial bill to authorize issuance
of on-sale liquor licenses to veterans
clubs in Montgomery County has
been killed in committee, it was dis
closed tonight.
The measure was introduced ir
the House March 81 by William H
McGrath, Democrat, of Prince
Georges County. It was referred
to the Montgomery County delega-
ton, which had refused previously
toesubmit d similar bill.
Anders r. Lofstrand, r., chairman
Of the Montgomery group, said the
delegation has voted unfavorably
on the measure and decided to take
no further action on it at this ses-
sion. Since. the General Assembly
adjourns Monday, the delegation
action is tantamount to killing the
bill.
Mr.. Lofstrand explained that the
bill was introduced too late in the
session to permit county residents
to study the question thoroughly.
County Lacks Control.
He also pointed out that the
county has no control over the
liquor board and that if the bill
were passed, there would be no way
by which the comfy could insure
proper regulation by the board.
Meanwhile, the House Ways ane
Means Committee voted favorably
on two Montgomery County bills
one of which would give the county
commissioners the same taxine
power as that of the State, subject
to the approval of the Board O.
Revenue Estimates.
The other would permit the com.
missioners to levy tax not to ex.
ceed per cent on residential ane
commercial rentals.
Members Of the Montgomery
delegation said the second bill wa!
put before the Ways and Means
Committee in the form of al
amendment to another count.
measure which the delegation
wanted to withdraw.
The bill, in it's original form
would have authorized the Juvenil,
Court to sentence persons convicted
of acts contributing to Juvenile de-
linouency.
1t also would have permitted tn
court to order such persons to at
tend courses in the care of children
Clark Explains Amendment.
/ According to Montgomery Dele
gate r. Duncan Clark, the amend
ment was drafted in the event tina
Gov. Lane vetoes the bill giving tn
county commissioners increased tax
ing powers.
eve want to give the count
commissioners as much latitude a
possible in the levying of additiona
: taxes" Mr.. Clark said, ''but if ou
first bill is vetoed, we want the com
missioners to have something t
back on"

Guy c. Nadeau, commander OF
the District Legionnaires, said his
department has been in the market
for a new clubhouse for several
months because of the need for more
space to take care of increased
membership. He said the legion
which had about 5000 members
here before the war, now has more
than 10000.
The present clubhouse and head
quarters at 2437 Fifteenth street
NV. was bought seven years ago
When the legion moves into new
quarters, that property will go on
sale. Mr.. Nadeau said the depart
ment will ask $175,00 for it.
Main need for more space, he
said, is to provide rooms for nu-
merous post, committee and aux
iliary meetings.

Fire Code Anew
Will Examine Claims
That Compliance
Is UnfeusibIe

The Commissioners yesterday
named a 19-man committee to make
a new study of the stricter building
fire safety regulations which are due
to become effective July /.
The committee will advise the city
heads on whether the new rules
should be placed in effect on that
date, delayed or modified. 1t will ex-
anime particularly claims of some
building owners that compliance Is
economically unfeasible.
The Commissioners designated AS

members include, also, Fire Chief
Clement C. Murphy, Fire Marshal
Raymond c. Roberts, Director OF
Inspections Robert H. Davis, Cor
poration Counsel Vernon E. West

Federation of Citizens Associations.
The committee is to meet at 2:30
pm. tomorrow in the board room
OF the District Building to start
drafting its recommendations.
The Commissioners have taken
Cne pOSltlon that further delays In
enforcing the new rules should not
be allowed. The rules are aimed at
preventing such ira 3edies as the
Coconut Grove fire in Boston, the
LaSalle Hotel fire in Chicago and
the Winecof fire in Atlanta.
But 1t has been estimated by
building owners that the structural
changes witch the new rules would
require VIC ID cost a total of $780,
100000. They have also cautioned
that labor and material shortages
are still present.
The District Building Inspection
Office has reported that 2,128 Dis
trict hotels, apartments, hospitals,
restaurants and other gathering
places do not iileet the new fire
requirements.

The whale, described by Coast
