members reached are in favor
Of the amendments.
Provisions Listed
These include:
Transferring from the Interior
Department to the Commerce
Department jurisdiction over
construction of the Maryland
Virginia Potomac River struc-
ture across the southwest tip Of
the District OF Columbia.
Substituting q more economi-
cal and practicable type Of draw

Specification that. with the
exception of Union street. no
Alexandria thoroughfare east OF
Washington street may be used

Fixing the upkeep and opera
ton cost Of the bridge upon the
two States.
Assuming passage Of the
amendments by the House und
Senate, the next hurdle will be
obtaining a $l3.S million appro-
priation for construction Of the
bridge.
The construction money was
out Of the Interior budg-
ct requests by a House Appro-
priations subcommittee. The ac-
ton was ascribed to the pend
ing amendment on transferring
jurisdiction to Commerce.
Should Commerce be given
jurisdiction as proposed in the
amendment, the House Com

mittee would then in all likeli-
hood receive the $13.8 million

Hearings in March
The Commerce subcommittee
probably will not be prepared to
hold hearings before mid-March.

Penny Tax Rise
Now Held LikeI,
For Maryland
Revised Estimates
OF Revenue Cited;
l2-Cent Rate Seen
BY GENE GOODWIN
Star star Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Feb. 24.-State
Taxpayers are expected to get q
slight break from revised revenue
estimates and a new money rails
ling proposal being considered
today by the Maryland Legis-
llature.
Gov. McKeldin's proposed 1904
million budget for the next fiscal
lyear originally included provi-
sion for the State tax rate to
be increased from 1913 cents per
$500 Of assessed valuation this
year to 14.07 cents for the levy
year Of 1857. The tax applies
TO real estate and personal prop
Ierty.
Now It appears the rate win
have to be increased only about
q penny. to about IL cents.
This contemplated reduction,
still unofficial as Of today. was
made possible FIRST because the
Board Of Revenue Estimates took
q new look at the States fiscal
picture yesterday and decided
that about 81 million more In
revenues would be available ct

June 30, than had been anti
cipated when the budget was
drawn.
81 Million From Martin
! One million dollars Of this new
money is coming from inheri-
Itance taxes on the late Glenn
IL. Martin, aircraft manufactur-
Ter. The rest is supposed to come
from sales and use taxes. alco-
lholic beverage taxes and racing
revenues.
Also contributing TO the good
possibility that the State tax
rate will have to be raised only
about a penny next year is a
proposal received favorably by
the Senate Finance Committee
Yesterday to make a proposed
horse race betting tax increase
effective this spring. rather than
July /.
! The Governor originally pro-
posed an increase from 10 To
liz per cent In the amount the
State and the track take from
each bettor's dollar at the mile
tracks. This increase, plus "a
more days of racing each year

bring in an estimated 81 million

AN EARLY START is the

AN EARLY START is the
rule for the trial watchers.
When there is no major case
in progress, they meet in the
courtroom of Chief Judge Boz
litha ]. Laws to learn where
the interesting cases are to be
assigned. Then they shuttle
of to the various other court
rooms, arriving before the
judges and the lawyers, to
settle for the day, watching.
Intent, practiced, they catch
the obvious errors of young at
torneys and mentally applaud
the incisive thrusts Of the old
masters.
When a point is scored, they
whisper excitedly among
themselves. or exchange sig
niflcant mods and clucks of
the tongue. There Is much
shaking of heads over points
which should have been made,
but weren't.
The professional trial
watchers are nearly as well
versed in the law as the judges
themselves, and are certain,
in almost every case, that they
would have handled it differ
emily If they had been the
lawyers.
At recess, they meet in the
corridors, earnestly discussing
the mornings testimony or
arguments. The discussion
continues at the lunch table
in the buildings basement
