funds paid by farmer cooperatives.

Recommends
Many Measures

The Executive Committee Of the
Montgomery County Safety Board
voted this week to lend its support
to Bill No. 8 which has been in
troducted in the Maryland Legis-
lature. This Act calls for compul-
sorry inspection of motor vehicles

ton stations and provides for the
payment of one dollar per annum
fee.
In the interest of school bus
safety, the committee stated that
the existing law providing for the
supervisor of school property
should be repealed and that the
Montgomery County School Sys-
tenn should come under the general
laws of the State of Maryland
whereby maintenance of school
property Operators of buses, etc.,

that legislation be enacted to
amend the present county civil
service rules to provide that a

as chief does not lose time toward
pension or his right to return to
last established rank.
The Committee unanimously en-
d6rsed the enactment of legisla-
ton legalizing the status of scien-
tific tests for intoxication and the
admittance in evidence of such
tests in determining the degree of
intoxication of alleged drunken
drivers.
They further recommended that
the Motor Vehicle Laws of the
State of Maryland be revised to
include the following Legislative
provisions: Operators involved in
any accident in which any person
is killed or injured, or in which
the damage to the property of any
person, including the operator, is
more than so dollars, shall make
immediate report to the nearest
Police Department, or sheriff's Of
flee or police officer, or shall make
a written report to said office
within "a hours. Such written re-
port Of the operator shall be con-
fidential and may not be used as
evidence in a civil or criminal suit
arising from said accident.
