selves on two proposed amend
ments to the county charter
five constitutional amendments
and four referendum questions.
One of the proposed amend
ments to the county charter
concerns the question of liquor
license issuance in the Sixth
election District Jamestown
and balloting is restricted to
qualified voters in that district
alone.
All other questions on the
ballot may be marked by any
qualified voter in the county.
The first question on the bal
lot would provide for appoint
ment of new County Council
members should a vacancy de-
velop. AS the present charter
is written, there is no machinery
for such appointments.
The second question is
directed at voters Of the Sixth
District. If approved, the dis
trict would be released from
the provisions of the states
liquor laws and licenses for
the sale of alcoholic beverages
could then be issued.
Five proposed amendments to
the state constitution are on the
ballot, one of which directly
effects Montgomery County.
The first question concerns
condemnation in Baltimore City,
This amendment would allow
the state or the Baltimore Mayor
and City Council to set the value
of condemned property rather
than by the present procedure
of establishing value through
a court-appointed appraiser.
Payment still would be required

added by a jury.
The second question Is a pro-
posal to change the number of
signatures required to petition
the General Assembly.

of voters balloting in the COVER
nors race increases, the number
of required signatures will also
increase.)
The third question concerns
Montgomery County and pro-
poses that procedures for land
acquisition estimates of the fair
market value of the property
shall be made by a licensed real
estate broker appointed by the
County Council.
Under the present proceed
ure, the county has the right
of "quick-taking" in cOndem-
nation cases, upon a finding
by the council that there is
immediate need.
The procedure is that the ap-
praisers estimate of the value
is paid to the owner, or into
court, and the property taken
at once with security to be given
for the payment of any further
sum subsequently awarded by a
jury.
The change would substitute
the licensed real estate broker
appointed by the council for the
appraiser and would provide
that the procedure does not ap-
ply if the property to be taken
includes buildings and improve,
ments.
Question four concerns a pro-
posed increase in pay for mem
bers of the General Assembly.
Approval of the amendment
would boost the pay of assem-
blymen from $1,800 per annum
to $1,000 per annum and in
crease the additional compensa.
ton for the presiding officers
of each house from $3.50 to $500
per annum.

der this bill vary in population
from 244,000 to $4,000, the pro-
per number of voters petitioned
to urge that the redistricting be
done more equitably.
The second referenda question
concerns a complex and contro-
versial bill involving state UNI
employment laws.
The bill was petitioned to ref

the bill distorts the basic con.
cept of the social security law,
and feel it is poorly drawn and
leads to inequities.
The avOwed intent of the bill
is to plug lOOphOles which
could reduce the Benefit Trust

the fund is being depleted by

ulations to govern the states

the next proposition on the bal
lot.

associations, through a program

tions.

these petitions recently was
resolved in the Maryland Court
of Appeals in favor of those

lot seeks to implement the Sec

created the Municipal Court Of

The last day Of 1861 brought
with it an exceptionally fine
presentation at the Washington

contrasting works based on
texts appropriate to the holiday

of a 30-minute Hymn of the

year-old Wisconsin-born COM
poser who writes in an attrac-
tive, conservatively modern
idiom not unlike that of Samuel
Barber.
Mr.. Hobby weaveS his musical
fabric around selections from
the poetry of Richard Crashaw,
and clothes his text with lustr-
Gus; unabashedly romantic, and
Immediately appealing music.
He writes for large chorus and
orchestra with great skill, and
even though the texture at
times gets pretty full, there is
a clarity to his lines that GER
tainly augurs very we'll for the
future.
Perhaps the fact that Mr.
Hobby is a Clan Carlo Menotti
pupil explains the emotionalism
Of his approach. In any event,
it was a welcome contrast to
the cold and forbiddingly
cerebral aspect that mars the
work of some of our finest
young creative talents.
