To Ask Legislation

help Of the Maryland Legisla-
ture.
To Ask Legislation
The two bodies viii ask the
1857 Assembly for legislation
permitting the two counties to
settle the question between
themselves. Similar legislation
was passed in 1858, directing the
boundary line to be based on
that recognized by the Maryland
Constitutional Convention on
1776.
A close look at that document
informed the county government
no such provision had been made
by their colonial forefathers.
A decision is needed to settle
a tax case. Robert B. Myers
farm, near Laurel is in area.
Since 1850 he has been paying
taxes to both counties. Now he
is going to pay them to Prince
Georges County alone.
Repayment In Prospect
"As soon as a settlement Is
reached. Wen refund any taxes
Mr.. Myers enormously paid to
us because of this boundary
question, said William Kahler,
counsel to the county commits
sioners.
The county heads also directed
the Highway Department to
negotiate for construction Of
roads in the Waggaman Heights
and Temple Hills Park subdivi-
sions. Allowances for their de-
velopment had not been made in
the departments program this
year.
At the suggestion of Commits
sioner Lansdale G. Clagett, q
check will be made into the ad-
visibility of hiring additional
highway inspectors to cut down
constructor costs.
Approved by the commissioners
as public health nurse trainees
were: Mrs. Madeline B. Holt, 122
Chactaw drive, Oxon Hill; Mrs.
Maxine j. Cook, 73 Riggs road.
Hyattsville, and Mrs. Wilma L.
wilkins. 5105 Sixtieth avenue.
Hyattsville.
The positions were provided for
in the 1866 budget, although
the salary scale is still under
consideration.

Roadside Vendors Foce
Crockdown by Police

Mobile merchants who have
been using Prince Georges
County roadsides to hawk their
wares have been given the
I"move-on" sign by the County
Commissioners.
The governing board yester-
day asked the police department
to crack down on violators who
have been the subject of COM
plants from several tax-paying
store proprietors. Possession of
Ia hawkers and peddlers license
permits person to make a sale
and resume his route of solicita-
ton. but with no permanent
stops. the commissioners said.
Perce Wolf, former county
building inspector now with the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission. told
the county board he had re-
Iceived numerous complaints
from residents who thought he
was still building inspector.
Enforcement Gap
"The building inspector is of
duty from Friday night until
Monday so he can't enforce the
law on week ends" Mr.. Wolf
explained. in asking for police
enforcement.
/ Commissioner Herbert w.
Reichelt said he had noticed on
several occasions vendors parked
in the vicinity of Ager and Riggs
road, West Hyattsville, peddling
fruit, vegetables and pottery to
the passing public.
! They're men from the Caro-
linas and the District who are
taking sales away from your
taxpaying businesses" Mr.. Wolf
told the commissioners.
'They must be from out Of
State, because I don't think our
truck crops around here are in
season yet" observed Mr.. Rel
chelt.
The county heads explained,
however, a man can sell prod
ucts on his property If the goods
are raised on that same prop
lerty.
In other business the commits
sioners agreed with the Mont
gomery County Council to try
to establish Prince Georges

ANOTHER METHOD SAME RESULT

GSitoAlnAt
ANOTHER METHOD - AME RESULT
UNDOUBTEDLY N Of the principal reasons for in
PRODUCING the matter Of commonwealth for the Virgin Islands
is that such a status would automatically carry with it the
right to elect a governor. But there is another way to reach
this solution.
THE VIRGIN STANDS should have the right to elect
their own governor. Such would be in keeping with the tin
est ideals of democracy, giving at the same time Just the
added responsibility the assumption Of which would forclose
any further talk of immaturHy And this, result can be had
by the simple expedient of putting such a provision IN the
New Organic Act.
WHILE HEARINGS were being conducted it would be
well if the Congressional committee responsible for these
hearings left these shores with the impression that the cleo
tion of 4 governor and commonwealth status were not in
terdependent, and that the former is desirable and may be
had without the latter,
THE HEARINGS should also bring out that the New
Organic Act fails to take into account that the legislature
IS considerably curtaled in its powers; that many Of these
are IN the hands of the Governor; that the position OF comp
troller. while a necessary one, should in some way be paid
far bv the Federal government. since the incumbent is in no
way responsible to the very people who appropriate his salary.
URTHE IT ought to be brought out that Judges,
municipal, police, or what have you, should be appointed
for definite terms on good DenaVlOI, anu thde lo Vuno
ebom,ld not At his wbim remove them. And there are other
points in the Act which might stand revision
BUT THERE should be no mistake about i, these IS
lands should be allowed to elect their own governor even
though commonwealth status is not granted.

NEAR ACCIDENT THURSDAY IN VILLAGE

Quick thinking and alert driving upon the part of Clint Holmes averted a possible trag- edy on Front Street in the Will lage Thursday evening, chief of police Burton Douicette reports
 MT. Holmes was coming to- ward town and, as he was pass ing Conway Dock, a sled carry ing a 212 year old boy slid dir ectly in front of his car. MT. Holmes immediately brought his car to a stop, 50 an over- turned sled and a badly scared little boy were the only results of what could have been a ser ious accident.
 The police have been inform ed of several other near acci- dents at this place and have warned several children about the dangers of sliding there or at any place where they are in danger of oncoming traffic.
 We sincerely hope both par ents and children will take this as a warming and take steps to guard against Efurther mishaps of this sort" said MT. Doucette. "The next driver might not have his car under such good control as MT. Holmes.

MENUS ONE REACHED OVER WEEK END

What is hoped will be the record low of the current cold snap was reached yesterday, when a T degree temperature was recorded by the Coast x Geodd-ic Survey Station here.
 The mercury began its march down Dec. 23. with a 4 above reading. On the 24th it dropped to 2 above. on the 18th it rose one degree to 3 al Ibove for Christmas and on the 18th dropped to II. This morn ing the low was an even zero.
 As a result of the cold, a number of water lines were frozen yesterday. Among these reported were Peterson Counts, number of homes on Etolin Street, the Fire Hall and the Lutheran Church building including the Sit ka Public Utility office. The servce line flo the John Cush ing residence had broken. Nose of these were supplied water by means of temporary hoses. However, in all cases the city mains were found to be functioning well. While the normal pressure is maintained at from 50 to 65 pounds, it has been stepped up by the SPU to 75 pounds to easily carry the extra load of water being required as residents run taps to prevent. their service lines from freezing
 Conrad Krantz, manager of the SPU, emphasized the fact that no mains were frozen and water pressure is high. He pointed out and her pump had been put into operation this morning and there was suf- ficient water for all homes to drip cold water taps to pre- vent freezing.
 Hydrants are freezing up al- most as,fast as they are thaw- ed but crew is making regu- lar rounds to keep these thaw- ed so far as is possible.

 vey station reported Sitka has had nearly two weeks of max imum temperatures below freezing. A search of their De- cember temperature records
