Maryland Urges DC. Sales Tax
To Protect County Merchants

take any action he may deem appro-
pirate to urge Congress and District
authorities to adopt a sales tax
similar and equivalent to that
adopted at this session of the Gen.
eral Assembly.
It was the first action taken by
the Legislature in an attempt to
protect Maryland merchants in
counties which border areas having
no sales tax.
Meanwhile it was indicated a
graduated income tax may be sub
stitutad for the newly enacted
Maryland sales tax by the l949
General Assembly as a result OF the
latest ruling. by Attorney General
Hall Hammond that a graduated
income tax is constitutional.
A proposed constitutional amend
ment for graduated income tax
was introduced in the Senate last
month when Mr.. Hammond indi-
Gated such a step was necessary.
His latest ruling, ahowever, is that
the tax could be imposed under
present law.

The sponsors declared they in
tended to lessen the. burden Of the
General Assembly in dealing with
purely local subjects.
AS originally presented, the bills
would have included every county
and incorporated municipality in
the State, but they were amended
in the House and the Senate until
IT counties and their municipalities

any way commissioners powers as
they now exist.

to provide expenses for States at
torneys, sheriffs, judges and other
elected and appointed officials; to
establish merit systems; to provide
for prompt collection of taxes; to
provide competitive bidding on pur-
chases greater than $500; to prevent
and remove nuisances; to provide
roads, curbs and sidewalks and as
sess property on the county taxable
basis and to provide for appoint
ment of county police, prescribe
duties and fix pay.
The municipality powers included
dOfCt bLo1llS tOCdl lAldi1CAdl oeftC-
ments, laws and resolutions; spend
ing municipal funds for public well
fare, except that money not appro-
priated at the time of the annual
levy may not be spent without a
two-thirds vote in the Legislative
body; making reasonable zoning
and building regulations; regulating
community y-recreational services
cemeteries, children frequenting

elections.

If Montgomery decides to accept
the charter, it will be Maryland S
first county to adopt this type of
government which several years ago
