Court Hears
Ad Tax Case

BALTIMORE, June is CP.-
A hearing to test Baltimore's
advertising tax was to open in
Circuit Court today.
The City Council alreday has
passed legislation to cancel the
levy at the end of the year, but
liz the court decides the act was
unconstitutional the city would
have to refund what it has COL
lected.
The ad tax went into effect
Jan. /. and was expected to take
in about $2,653,000 in revenue
this year. But City Budget
Director Charles L. Benton
said at the present rate Of coll
lection the total will fall at
least 81 million short.
Under the law, any company
selling advertising space or
time must collect a 4 per cent
tax on each sale from the ad-
vertiser and the media must
pay a 2 per cent tax on gross
sales.
The court action was brought
by a group of newspaper pub
fishers, radio and television
stations, advertising agencies
and retail advertisers.
A statewide law was passed
by the 1858 General Assembly
outlawing any special tax on
advertising after next Deem
Der 81.

Power Co., whose engineers
assert that unless the most
troublesome shoal of them all
is removed, the Benning power
plant output may be reduced
this summer.
Metropolitan Harbor Police
also have an interest. The
drownings Of seven people in
the Anacostia in the last six
years are attributed to the sand
and muck bars near which the
deaths occurred. And the WASH
ington Suburban Sanitary
Commission is concerned be-
cause 1t wants good passage
for boats that soon will be us
ing its new Bladensburg sailing
marina.
80 Bars and Shadows
No less than 80 of these bars
and shadows line the Anacostia
between Benning road and the
confluence Of the stream with
the Potomac River. More than
half Of these are caused by
stormwater sewer washings Of
sand and mud from city streets
and lands.
About II outlets spin such
sediments, combined with sew
age residue at other points dur
ing transforms.
Most of the formations, which
started to become q navigation
nuisance in 1916, are entirely
out Of water In low tide. At
high tide. they are submerged
and, being unmarked by buoys,
constitute q menace to small
boats which stray from the
channel.
The worst Of them is the
Scaggs Branch sewer delta.
This has been caused by wash
ings from q big sewer draining
Anacostia and emptying into
the river between the Benning
Road and East Capitol Street
Bridges.

BALTIMORE, June Is (P.-
Gov. McKeldin today blasted
Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro's
Baltimore administration for
levying a tax on advertising.
McKeldin, who has spoken
out against the tax before. took
another opportunity to do SO
in a welcome address prepared
for delivery at a convention
luncheon for the Association
of National Classified Advcr-
Using Managers.
The City Council. which i'm
posed the tax last year, has
since repealed it effective jan
uary /, 1859, and the 1858 Leg
islature banned any further
advertising tax in the State.
Meanwhile, the validity of the
tax levied this year is being
tested in court.
The Governor did not men,
ton DAlesandro by name but
obviously referred to the man
who could be his opponent for
Mayor of Baltimore next year.
Republican McKeldin, barred
from running for a third term
as Governor, is expected to seek
the Job of Mayor, and he could
be opposed by Democrat DALE
sandro If the Mayor is unsuc-
cessful in his effort to win a
United States Senate seat this
fall.
Regardless Of what you may
have heard or seen in the past
year-regardless Of what may
have transpired in somebody's
amazing tumble from the plane
Of reality-Maryland and Bal
timore do appreciate the great
benefits that accrue to our
economy through the business
Of advertising" McKeldin told
the advertising statesmen.
THE good sense Of our
citizenry was adequately dem
onstrated, I believe. in the sue
cess Of the public pressure
which was brought to bear
against those who. thoughtless-
ly or maliciously, had brought

the one that PEPCO has COM
planned about. PEPCO's Benning
plant on Benning road NE.
uses Anacostia raw water to
cool its big condensers. Its out
let downstream pours the warm
used water back into the river
at q point 500 feet upstream
from the shoal.
PEPCO officials in letters to
both the Washington Engineer
District Of the Army Engineer
Corps and the city's Sanitary
Engineering Department have
complained that the warm
water released from the plant
is hitting the shoal and. with
the help Of tidal action, is
swirling back upstream to re-
enter the plant where cool
water is supposed to enter.
If this continues, power COM
pany officials say. the Benning
plant output peaks will have
to be cut back to keep the con-
densers from getting too hot
by being cooled" by the warm
recirculated water from the
river.
Army and City Sympathetic
Both the Army and city en-
gineers have expressed sympa-
thy TO the utility. But each has
claimed the other is charged
under the Federal Navigation
Act Of 1899 with the response
bility Of dredging such shoals
from navigable streams.
The Army says the law for
bids such sedimentation OF
rivers. The District, citing an
other section Of the same law
says that municipalities are
specifically exempted.
The two agencies naturally
are baking at the dredging
Job. To remove the estimated
260. 900 cubic yards Of deposits
from all 80 shoals would
cost around $3.50, 900. Scaggc
Branch alone has dumped
10000 cubic yards into the
river. Both agencies contend
they lack money for the I'M
dertaking.
AS things now stand city Of
ficialS believe they are in the
right. The engineer district
meanwhile, has placed the Legal
question in the lap Of the Army
Chief Of Engineers.
