ANNAPOLIS, Feb. ga SEN
ate Bill to revise the government
of Prince Georges County is be-
fore the House of Delegates with
final action expected today or to-
morrow.
The controversial Sothoron bill
was finally approved by the Sem
ate yesterday by vote of % to 0.
Little or no opposition is expected
in the House.
AS approved by the Senate, the
bill introduced by Majority Lead
er L. Harold Sothoron carried six
amendments.
One, designed to quiet county,
wide protests which eliminated in
a hearing here February II, would
eliminate the proposed merit
system.
Financial Statements Provided.
Another would provide for pub
lication of financial statements
and maintenance of files of effec-
tive ordinances. The others are
of a technical nature.
County delegates said the merit
plan was taken out because Re-
publicans had charged that it was
intended to "entrench" present
Democratic jobholders regardless
of the result of the November
election.
The delegates denied this, but
said they felt it best to remove the
provision so as to leave no room
for such a contention.
Two Republican Senators did
not vote on the measure. Senator
Davis of Montgomery County was
out of the chamber and Senator
Hoff of Carroll County asked to
be excused from voting.
Senator Stronger, Democrat.
of Anne Arundel and a bloc of
county colleagues won a partial
victory when the Senate voted.
II to s, to order transfer of cer-
tain divisions of the State con-
troller's Office from Baltimore to
Annapolis.
Sanitary Commission Change.
AS originally introduced by Sem
ator Stronger, the measure
would have required return Of in
come tax and alcoholic beverage
divisions. The units were moved
last year from the State Office
Building here to remodeled Bal
timore warehouse.
Amendments tackled on report
edly with administration assent,
would bring back the admission
tax and alcoholic beverage divi-
sion and enough of the income
tax unit to service Southern
Maryland and the Eastern Shore.
The bill has been sent to the
House.
In a joint action, Prince
Georges and Montgomery dele
cations petitioned from the House
Rules Committee a bill which
would extend the boundaries of
the Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission. The measure as
introduced would affect the Oxon
Hill section of Prince Georges
County.
Montgomery Gets First Bill
An amendment tackled on last
night before the bill passed second
reading, would permit extension
OF water and sewer lines to the
new Gaithersburg High School
now under construction.
Montgomery County's all-Re.
publican delegation got it's first
