attend a session, there is no
indication in the official record
of March 81 that Mr.. Long and
Mr.. Moore were excused.
The 1858 order increasing the
expense allowance to $40 a day
made no provision for deduct
ing the allowance if a legis-
lator is not present.
Presiding officers of the
House and Senate certify the
payments. Payment is made
through the controllers office.
Records in the controllers of
flee show that the payments
we're certified three times dur
ing the recent session, each
certification for 80 days.
Records of the past session
would indicate that it takes a
major illness or a resignation to
get off the expense account list.
Higher Allowance Sought
There was an attempt in
1859 to raise the expense al
lowance to $50 a day. Such an
order passed the House of Dele
gates but such a furor was
raised that it was reScinded
a few days later. The order
was initiated by House Demo-
cratic Majority Floor Leader
A. Gordon Boone of Baltimore
County.
A Baltimore attorney, Hyman
PreSSman, whose forays against
governmental officials are fire.
quent. claims that the expense
allowance is unconstitutional.
The State constitution pro-
vides that each member of the
Legislature shall receive a sal
ary of $1,000 a year and mile
age to the sessions. 1t makes
no mention of per diem ex-
penSe allowances.
Mr.. Pressman claims that the
specific mention of travel al
lowance implies that it was in
tended that no other should
be allowed. When the House
passed the 1859 order to in
crease the allowance to $50 a
day. one of the protests came
from Mr.. Pressman. He said he
would contest the constitution
allty of the allowance in court
if it were raised.
Deductions Provided
The constitution provides
that SIS day shall be deduct
ed from a lawmakers $1,000
salary for each day Of unex-
cuSed absence from a legisla-
tive session. Since payment of
the salaries are made quarter
ly in advance. salary payments
for all but one day of the past
Legislative session were issued
before the session started.
Legislators say little use is
made of the $15-a-day salary
deduction provision.
Senator Della said it is very
seldom that missing senator
is not excused"
Records of the past session
show that several senators
brought their wives to help
out in Annapolis. Each of the
20 Senators gets a secretary
while House members depend
on a secretarial pool arrange
ment.
Wives Of Senators on the pay
roll last session were those of
President Della; Harry T. Phoe-
bus, Republican minority
leader; Joseph v. Mach, Demo-
crat Of Baltimore; Walter B.
Dorsey, Democrat of st. Marys:
John-Clarence North, Democrat
of Talbot, and John L. Sanford,
jr., Democrat of Wicomico.
Paid for Week Ends
They were listed as stenog-
rapherS and were paid $12 a
day for each day of the 90-day
session, including Saturdays
and Sundays.
The daughter of Senator
Aaron Baer, Democrat of Balti-
more City. was among the en-
ployes, receiving $40 a day for
Is days as clerk to the Balti-
more senators and $12 a day for
As days as a stenographer.
Among the House employees.
there were several whose names
indicated they were wives or
relatives of members.

COntlnued FROM t1rSL rage
according to records of the
Controllers office.
During the 88-day period,
there were % Saturdays and
Sundays and one Friday on
which the Legislature did not
meet. They were paid $40 ex-
penSes for each of the days.
Expense payments for the 26
days the lawmakers did not
meet amounted to $78,520.
Senate President George w.
Della said it was understood
when the expense provision was
approved that it meant pay
ment for each day of the Ses-
sion, whether or not the legiS-
latorS actually met in An
napolis.
Sessions Called Continuous
Senator Della said the 30
day and 9O-day meetings are
continuous sessions" and that
the legislators are subject to
CALI on any day.
On March 81 the critical vote
on one of the principal issues
OF the session reapportion-
ment of General Assembly
seatS-WaS taken in the House
OF Delegates. The bill lost by
one vote.
Delegate Robert Charles
"Biggy" Long, Democrat of
Somerset County, had been
counted on by Gov. Tawes TO
vote for reapportionment. Mr..
Long, a assistant Lloyd l..
SimpkinS, was not present. He
exulained later that he was
tending tomato plants" at
home.
The Eastern Shore, where
Mr.. Long lives, was leading the
fight against reapportionment.
Mr.. Long had voted for re-
apportionment in preliminary
skirmishes, but said he had
done so in Difference to Gov.
Tawes. fellow Somerset Coun-
tian.
Mr.. Long received $50 ex-
penses for March 27, the rec
ordS indicate.
Moore Absent Too
Delegate Charles M. Moore,
Democrat Of Hartford County,
who also was counted on by
the administration to vote for
reapportionment, was another
among the missing on March
27. He said he was sick.
House Speaker Perry o.
Wilkinson said later that one
reason Mr.. Moore lost an ap-
pointment to a legislative COM
mittee was because I'VE didn't
appreciate the way he ran out
on the reapportionment issue" "
Mr.. Moore was paid $40 for
expenses March 81.

Proposed coming for l25

County's more picturesque rural
countryside received a mixed
reaction last night.
Most of the objections were
voiced by persons wanting
isolated spots of commercial

support was given large-acre

An overflow crowd of more
than ITO persons damned a
hearing room during the two
hour session in the county

Leaking acid at an Army mis-

Gaithersburg and Laytonsville
to the site early today.
They were called shortly after

site on Snouffer School road
to help dilute the acid with
water.
Firemen said they spent two
and a half hours adding water
to the acid as it leaked out in
order to neutralize it.

not necessary for firemen to
be called.
