Voters Approved
Seven Amendments

Maryland voters on Tuesday APP
proved seven amendments to the
state constitution. None of them,
however, will have any particular
bearing on the average citizen.
Although only about tWo-thirds
of the total vote on the amend
ments has been reported, all APP
peared to have been approved by
substantial majorities.
The amendments, briefly, are
these:
l. General housekeeping of the
93-year-old constitution itself to
eliminate obsolete matter without
making any basic changes.
2. Pay Orphans Court judges on
regular yearly salary basis rather
than on daily basis for time
actually served.
3. Extend absentee voting privi-
leges to disabled persons who can
not get to the polls.
A. Prohibit bills being introduced
in the General Assembly during
the last 10 days of 3O-day sessions
and the last 20 days of 9O-day SEES
sions without approval of tWo-thirds
of the Legislators.
5. Require newly elected gov
ernor to submit the budget within
20 days after the General Assem-
bly, conVenes, instead of so days
after his inauguration This is to
permit earlier examination of the
proposed budget by the legislature
g. Require the governor to sub
nit recess appointments to the
General Assembly on the first day
of its next regular session instead
of within 80 days after the session
begins.
T. Permit County Councils to sit
for As days at a time instead of &c
days.

No Action Taken
On Beer License

No action was taken on suspcn-
sion or revocation of beer license
by the Board of License Commits
sioners this week because of what
was termed an unusual circum-
stance"
On October %, Guy limbaugh
surrendered his license to sell beer,
to the clerk of the Circuit Court
AT the meeting on Monday the
Commissioners, upon advice of
their attorney, took no action on
the matter, since it was their con-
tention there was no license which
could be revoked.
The question was whether or not
a beer license should be revoked
in the case of an individual who
pleaded guilty in the Circuit court
to selling whisky and therefore
came under the provisions of the
beer law covering violations. Hine-
baugh had pleaded guilty to a
charge of selling whisky during the
recent term of court
Those having beer licenses and
being convicted of selling whisky
are liable to having their licenses
to sell beer revoked for as much as
two years.
a new application to sell beer at
the limbaugh restaurant was made
last week by James c. limbaugh
son Of Guy limbaugh, who had

Supervisors Plan
No Request for Bids
For Voting Machines

After the Board of Supervisors
of Elections at a meeting on Oc-
tober 5 decided to seek new bids
for voting machines from the two
voting machine companies, return
able before October 81, it was
learned this week that no bids had
been requested.
Following the meeting with the
County Commissioners on October
5, the County Commissioners pre-
pared letters to be sent to the Auto
matte Voting Machine Company
and the Shoup Voting Machine
corporation, and delivered them to
William L. Gibson, president of
the Board of Supervisors.
Mr.. Gibson wrote to the County
Commissioners on October IS de-
claring that after comforting with
Francis w. Sanders, member of
the board, who was not present at
the October 5 meeting, it was de-
cided that any request for quota
ton of prices for SO voting ma
chimes would "be a waste of time, "
since no agreement could be
reached in time to acquire them
for the general election.
The letter also informed the
Commissioners that the board had
decided to use paper ballots for
the election, and that the Election
board wanted to wait until the law
was clarified or revised in regard
to the purchase of voting machines
at the next session of the legisla-
ture after which time the board
would then request quotations.
An Investigations was made into
the matter this week when October
81 passed without any announce
ment of the receipt of bids.
