Nearby Communities
For Daylight Time
II District Adopts Il

Nearby communities in Maryland
and Virginia are all set to switch
over to daylight saving time on
April q if the District decides to
advance its clocks and watches on
that Sunday morning.
Yesterday Gov. Lane of Maryland
signed into law bills authorizing
the commissioners of Montgomery,
Prince Georges and Anne Arundel
Counties to proclaim the daylight
time if they so desire.
At the same time Gov. Tuck, at
a press conference in Richmond,
reiterated his belief that the hour
ahead time is foolish" but conceded
the right of individuals or commun-
tiles to set their watches 'for tomor-
row or the middle Of next week if
they see fit"
Brooke Johns and William A.
Carson, chairmen, respectively, of the
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Boards of County Commissioners,
promised today that they would
automatically take advantage of the
Legislatures authorization should
the District adopt daylight time.
Mr.. Carson said there was no very
widespread opposition to the idea in
Prince Georges. In Montgomery,
however, primarily dairy farming
county, there has been much vocal
protest over the possible change.
In Alexandria and Arlington, Of
ficials said they also would follow
the District, even though a 1916
statute of the Virginia Legislature
sets Eastern standard as the official
time for the Old Dominion.
Meanwhile, the House is scheduled
to take action on April IA on the
Senate approved McGrath bill
authorizing the District Commis-
sioners to proclaim daylight saving.

Push
Fight for Repeal Of
-sl
MARYLAND Sales Tax

Nearby Maryland businessmen to-
day were mapping plans to carry
their fight for repeal of the 2 per
cent sales tax to the rest of the
State, regardless of whether the
District gets a similar tax.
Gov. Lane has signed an act to
impose a Maryland levy July / and
Congress now is considering a SINH
lar measure for the District.
Businessmen from Bethesda and
Silver Spring met with the Prince
Georges Independent Trade Asso-
citation at Hyattsville last night and
termed the tax directly opposed" to
the wishes of the people and the
Committee Appointed.
A committee was appointed to
select an interim Executive Commit
tee to incorporate a permanent
organization on a nom
profit basis.
"Our only chance is a referen-
dum," Mayor Harry A. L. Barker OF
declared.
Walter K. Bachrach, chairman of
the Maryland Anti-Sales Tax Asso-
citation, said he had employed a
lawyer to study possibility of a ref
erendum and whether the measure
could be declared unconstitutional.
Legislature leaders said at Annapolis
last week that revenue measures are
exempt from the Maryland law per-
referenda.
William H. Prescott of the Be-
,hesda Chamber Of Commerce told
The meeting the sales tax measure
was forced through the Legislature
BY terrific political pressure.
Tax Called Unsound.
The group adopted a resolution
terming the tax ''unsound, uneco-
and asserted it would re-
suit In drastic decreases in volume
Of business" and cause sharp de-
clines' in. commercial property
values.
The temporary committee, with
Robert I. Black as chairman, in
,ludes Mr.. Prescott, Montgomery
County; A. P. Wheeler, Cecil County
H. L. Mills, Washington County;
Harold Mars, Carroll County; Nor
man C. Mason, Somerset County,

Memorial Parkway
Extension Tops
List Of Contracts
BY Rudolph Kauffmonn u

More than $3.50 900 work Of park
road and parkway improvements,
delayed since last year by President
Trumat1's 1946 moratorium on pub
lic works, will get under way this
spring and summer.
Topping the list will be grading
lof = two-mile extension of the
George Washington Memorial Park
way in Arlington, from KEY Bridge
up the valley of Spout Run to con-
meet with Lee highway at Lorcum
lane. The work Is estimated to cost
| $500, 600.
The extension has been awaited by
Virginia residents since before the
war as q means of relieving conges-
ton at Rosslyn Plaza.
Harry T. Thompson, assistant SUI
pertendent of National Capital
Parks, said today plans for the park
way extension will be completed by
June and contracts to grade the
roadway will be let soon after that.
To Be Completed in 194S.
Extensive grading and filling must
be done before the paving can be
applied, he said The road probably
will not be finished and open for
use until some time in 1948.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, which has
bought the right-of-way for the ex-
tension In corporation with Vir-
ginia and Arlington County on $3.50
Federal aid basis, is expected to
wind up contracts to purchase the
few remaining parcels of land
needed for the route.
The extension will run under the
southernmost arch of Key Bridge
and will be linked with the plaza
by one or possibly more feeder roads.
Two other park road improve
ments In the delayed program are
the repaving of the roadways around
the Ellipse and the repaving Of
Seventeenth street NV. from Con-
stitution avenue south to the John
Paul Jones statue.
Bids Opened on Project.
Bids were opened yesterday on the
Seventeenth street project. Mr..
Thompson said the park Office and
the Public Roads Administration,
which Is handling the contract,
would recommend that the Interior
Department award the contract to
the Wilmoth Paving Co., which
made a low bid Of So, 900.
The Ellipse roadways, to be i'm
proved at q cost Of 500, 900, are ex-
pected to be completed by October /.
Both these and the section of Sew
enteenth street to be improved are
old-type high-crown roads with deep
cobblestor1e cutters. They are to be
repaved like other city streets, but
with low park type curbstone about
az inches high.
Both have been a traffic hazard.
Mr.. Thompson said, because Of their
high crowns and slippery surfaces.
In the case Of the Ellipse roads,
drainage has been poor. :
Funds for all three projects were
appropriated for the current fiscal
year ending July but were held up
by reconversion problems and short
ages of men and materials.

subdivisions, as recommended by the

The changes are expected to pro-
duce $685. 900 annually.
Another act signed permits Prince
