fight to block the bill which would
have given the Silver Spring fire
area q part of Kensington's dis
trict. The vote was 4 to 3, with
Councilman Bradshaw. Selby and

In the bill to enlarge the

are of paramount interest. One

section, sponsored by Mr.. Brad

Circuit Court estimates that be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 will be
produced at the end Of the first
year there.
The Calvert County law pro-
vided that the first money collect
ed should be used to pay the ex-
penses of the referendum; the
next should 60 into q fund for a
new county hospital until $3.50. 900
had been collected; thereafter
proceeds would 60 into the coun-
tvs general fund.
At the present estimated rate Of
receipts it will be at least two
more years before the hospital
goal has been met.
Meanwhile, Calvert County
struggles along with an antiquat-
ed hospital. A member of the in
stitution's Board of Directors who
refused to be quoted by name said
that slot machines have made it
almost impossible to interest the
public in contributing funds to
the institution. The attitude pre-
walls that slot machine money will
provide a means of meeting most
charitable causes. he said.
Caused Directors to Resign.
The moral issue involved in the
bill reached such q point, during
the referendum campaign in CAL
vert, that five members Of the hos
pital board of directors resigned.
One since withdrew his resigna-
ton but still opposes financing a
new institution with money raised
through gambling.
In each locality as the issue
comes before the voters, opponents
fear the influx Of gambling rack
eteers from the outside. Propo-
nents Of slot machines in Prince
Georges County say the law there
has q safeguard against such big
time" operations. That law would
require persons who obtain IL
censes. both distributors and oper-
ators. to have been residents and
qualified voters of the county for
at least two years.
But If Prince Georges and
Charles Counties Join the others
to make the entire Southern
Maryland peninsula q solid slot
machine territory, there Is the
possibility that the area Is . whole

the big slot machine syndicates.
