ELECTRICAL LIVING" SHOW WEDNESDAY, JUNE ~
Officials Condemn
Entertainments On
Local Government

The Maryland League of NUM-
cipalities last week reaffirmed it's
belief in the necessity for munich
pal home rule and said it viewed
with alarm" encroachments of
County and State on local govern
ment.
Mayor G. Lamar Kelly, jr., who
attended the two-day Ocean City
conference of State municipalities
said the Leagues unanimous en-
dorsement of the home-rule reso-
luton was spanked by the recent
advice given to TakomS Park by
County Manager McNayr when he
pointed out that the County could
give services to the community for
less than it's current costs and ad-
vised it to give up its charter.
The meeting was attended by
81 delegates from Maryland COM
munities, Mayor Kelly said, and
was addressed by Governor Nickel
din, Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro
of Baltimore, Paul Burke, EXecu-
tive Director of the Maryland
Traffic Commission, and DR.. H. C.
Byrd, president of the University
of Maryland.
Mayor Kelly said that accent of
the conference was on traffic safe
ty and that conspicuous mention
was made of the fact that Rock
vile was declared one of the coun-
try's three safest" cities as a re-
suit of mo traffic deaths" here
last year.
Other subjects discussed were
fluoridation of municipal water
supplies, extension of sewer and
water supplies, bond issues, and
the rights of towns to erect speed
limit signs and to control the speed
of through traffic within their
boundaries.

posed budget, including a large
proportion of funds requested for
