LEGISLATORS Go Home
After Granting Lane
Everything He Asked
By J. B. Zotmon
Sfor Sfoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, May 28.-Members
of the General Assembly are on their
way home today after giving Gov.
Lane everything he asked at the
second special session in two years.
Bills appropriating s2,l01 ,654 for
salary increases to State employees
and $500.000 for public welfare,
which comprised the major legisla-
ton. were pushed through both
Houses with only minor debate.
Ninety bills and resolutions were
passed at the three-day session
which ended last night.
In addition, the legislators directed
the Governor to appoint a nine
member commission to investigate
the Tidewater Fisheries Commission
and to name a committee to expose
subversive activities in Maryland.
Bridge Study Ordered.
A third resolution called on the
State Roads Commission to study
the possibility of building bridge
across the Patuxent River between
Charles and Calvert Counties.
The smoothness with which the
session operated was in sharp con-
traSt to last November's meeting,
when there was wrangling over at
tempts to repeal the sales tax.
This time any bills the admins
tration leaders feared would stir
controversy and delay legislative
progres swere bottled up in the
Rules Committee.
Fo rexample, an attempt by Dele
gate j. Bernard Carrick, Democrat,
of Baltimore, to start a move to
suspend collections Of the sales tax
when receipts total s36, 100000 was
smothered in committee. When he
tried to get it out, he was easily
voted down.
Pay Raise to Affect 1900.
The pay raise bill, principal rea-
son for the session, provides higher
salaries for an estimated 1900
State workers. All but about 800
of those affected will receive 10
per cent wage raise. The 300 will
get the difference between 10 per
cent and the increases they already
have received since September, 1916.
