Governor VetOes
Teacher Pay Bill

Governor McKeldin on Sunday
vetoed a pay raise for Maryland
public school teachers which would
have been financed by a state
cigaret tax of three cents a pack.
The program would have cost
$40, 100000 a year, giving teachers
an average raise of $500.
In a letter of explanation to
House Speaker Luber, McKeldin
again called on the counties TO
provide for any needed teacher
raise above present state-suppOrted
minimums. The argument that
the larger counties can better af-
ford the locally-provided salary in
creases than can the smaller coun-
ties is not impressive, "McKeldin
wrote The real answer he said,
lies in their larger countless more
realistic assessments of property
for tax purposes and the more real
istic rates, generally speaking, at
which real estate taxes are i'm
posed" Counties which have not
increased teacher salaries above
state minimums should make sim
cere effort to bring their teacher
salaries more in line with those of
the city and counties which have
taken a more progressive and real
istic position in this regard
The governor said the vetoed
bill made no effort toward equal
ization of teacher salaries in the
state.
He also took swipe at the cigar
ct tax proposed by the bill. He
said it was unfair to the dealers
in this product and to the con-
sumers in Baltimore City and those
counties which now impose cigar
ct taxes to supplement their reve-
nues for governmental purposes
including the support Of their
schools"
Both houses of the 1857 General
Assembly had favored a pay raise
for teachers but were at odds on
how to finance it, The House had
proposed to increase the sales tax
from to 212 percent. The Senate
favored a tax on cigarets and other
tobacco products. The final result
was a compromise of the two views.
The margin of passage was sub
stantial in both houses. The legis-
lature will probably be called upon
to override the veto.
Maryland legislators expressed
confidence that the governors veto
would be overridden when the
General Assembly meets again
next winter.

Extent Of Recent
Measure Causes
Mild Concern
indeciSions Concerns Exact
Duties Of Clerk To
Commissioners

The successful passage of at
least one bill at the recent legis-
lature has been causing much COM
ment in Court House circles within
the past three weeks, and there is
division of thought as to its exact
meaning.
The bill under question is House
bill 275 which relates to the salary
and expenses of the County Com
missioners and to the clerk of the
Commissioners. The uncertainty
about the bill is the extent of the
clerks office and what it might
eliminate in the way of present
clerical positions.
There is no uncertainty about
the first part of the bill which
gives the Commissioners an annual
salary of $1,000 instead of 5000,
but which eliminates any reim-
bursement of travelling and living
expenses incurred while travelling
for the transaction Of proper bust
ness of the county which was
limited to $500 in any one year.
The bill also eliminated the sum
of $500 per year for expenses in
CURED by reason of a commits
siOners duties on the Roads board.
The controversy comes in the
clerk section of the measure The
bill sets the salary Of a clerk to
the County Commissioners at
$500 instead of $500 but it elimi-
mates the authority which the Com
missioncrs had to employ such adj
ditionaI clerical help as in their
Judgment was deemed necessary
for the proper conduct of their Of
flee.
Must Perform All Duties
Instead the bill makes it manda-
tory that the clerk shall perform
all the duties of his office with
out any additional help and stipu-
lates that the office of the clerk
shall be kept open from a. m.
to II noon and from l to 4 p. m.
daily except Sunday.
At present there is clerk to
the County Commissioners, r. r.
BrohaWn, and an assistant clerk,
Mrs Virginia Fizer. There are also
two stenographers in the assessors
office, Mrs BERTHE Thrasher and
Miss Janet Paugh, who are paid
directly by the County Commits
5ioners office. They however,
work comparatively with the State
Tax commission and the local
supervisor of assessments.
What Does Bill Dc?
The Weighty matter that is now
under study by w Dwight Slower,
attorney to the County Commits
siOncrs, is what is meant by the
duties of the clerk to the commits
sioners Does it mean the duties
