Amendments Likely
To Battle Voters
At Election Time

Al LICGllOkI i 1IllC
When Garrett County citizens go
into the voting booths November
the 9Th it won't take long for them
to do their balloting in the presi-
Dental and congressional races,
but after deciding between Nixon
Lodge and Kcnnedy-Johnson, and
Mathias-Foley, they are likely to
be completely baffled by the pro-
posed sixteen constitutional amend
mcnts they will find on the voting
machines.
The amendments are to be listed
across the voting machines by num-
Der. Just what wording will be
used on the various amendments
is still undecided, except that the
titling of each amendment will be
used.
It has been predicted by cleo
ton officials that only a minority
of the voters will act on each of
the 16 amendments. 1t will be al
most impossible for the average
voter to render an intelligent de-
cision on the various amendments
unless there is preparation made
a day or so before the election to
ascertain the questions involved.
OF greatest interest among voters
in Western Maryland will be Cues
ton No. IA. which is a conStitu-
tiOnal amendment to the Declara-
ton of Rights which proposes
granting authority to the General
Assembly to provide that land ac-
lively devoted to farm and agri-
cultural use shall be assessed on
the basis Of such use and shall not
be assessed as if sub-divided.
Most of the other amendments
have no bearing on residents of
this section of Maryland
There is a constitutional amend
ment which proposes that a va
cancy in the office of states at
torney in a county shall be filled
by certain judges, and in Balti-
more City the vacancy shall be
filled by judges Of the Supreme
Bench of Baltimore City.
There is a constitutional amend
ment which proposes granting
authority to the Board of Public
Works to authorize and direct the
state treasurer to borrow in the
name of the state, in anticipation
of collection of taxes, sums neces-
sary to meet temporary treasury
deficiencies and to issue short
term notes to provide for appro-
priations already made by the Cen
eral Assembly.
Another constitutional amend
ment proposes that the General
Assembly may empower any coun-
ty or municipal corporation, other
than Baltimore City, to carry out
urban renewal projects involving
the redevelopment of slum areas.
Another proposes that upon veto
of any bill by the governor, such
vetoed bill shall not be returned
to the General Assembly when a
new General Assembly has been
elected and sworn since passage
of the vetoed bill.
The order of succession in the
event of a vacancy in the office
of governor is covered in a con-
stitutional amendment providing
the next in succession to the Of
flee would be president of the
State Senate, speaker of the House
of Delegates, comptroller of the
state and attorney general of the
state
Voters will also decide on a
constitutional amendment which
proposes two additional judges

land and for the selection of the
judges of the Court of Appeals
