Marriages In Court
Legal i'll January

Beginning January either the
clerk of the Circuit Court, Richard
l.. Davis, or one of his deputies,
will have the authority to perform
marriage ceremonies in the Court
House
During the last session of the
Maryland Legislature the marriage
bill was passed which will permit
clerks of the court to join couples
in matrimony.
However, the fee for these court
house marriages, $40 for the cere-
mony, may keep many young
couples from taking advantage OF
this service.
The form of the ceremony is to
be brief and patterned after those
used by other states. Maryland is
the last state in the union to pass
law permitting civil marriages,
At the present time Maryland mar
riages must be performed by a
minister, priest or rabbi
Out of the $40 payment for
civil marriage here So will 90 to
the county commissioners general
fund and So will go toward the
expenses of the clerks office
Garrett county has been popular
for long time for persons from
other states who plan to get mar
ried. Many couples come to Oak
land from West Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio.
The age of consent is still un-
changed. The bride-to-be must be
IS and the prospective groom 81.
If either is younger he or she
must have parents consent or a
physicians certificate of pregnancy
The state does not require a blood
test which is one of the reasons
Maryland is popular with non-resi-
dents.
Mr.. Davis has let it be known
that he is not happy with the
situation and has no desire to be
placed in the role of official at a
marriage ceremony After discuss
ing the situation this week with
Associate Judge Stuart F. Hamill,
and with his approval Mr. Davis
said he could designate Lester
White and Clifford Dewitt, his two
deputies, as officials to perform the
wedding ceremonies. He said if
neither was available he would do
the officiating A private room in
the court house will be provided.
Judge Hamill said he was of
the opinion that over fifty percent
would still want to be married by
an ordained minister, and there is
no minimum there in regard to the
fee.
In many instances the fee to
ministers is very meagre.

the county's continuing growth.
Mr.. Stockard estimated those

Fairfax
To Curb Rise
In Realty Tax

Fairfax County should hold
its realty tax increase to IS
cents by adopting a business
privilege license tax and raising
fees on public works services,
the County Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations declared last
night.
The federation agreed to tell
the Board of County Supervi-
sors at public hearings May 13-
IA that the county's estimate
of fiscal Of 1854 revenues is
too conservative.
An increase of 80 cents per
$l00 of assessed real estate val
uation has been proposed to
help finance the county's rec
ord S76.8 million operating and
capital improvements budget.
More realistic revenue esti-
mates would reduce the tax in
crease to 73 cents and adopting
10 business tax and raising fees
for such services as plumbing
inspections and zoning permits
would bring it down to SIS cents,
the federation said.
A business tax was turned
down by the supervisors by a
4-to-3 vote in 1857.
A 55-cent increase would keep
the county operating in the
black, the citizens group said,
despite several budget additions
it proposes.
These additions were passed
over the protest of a small
group led by William Whitman,
whose aim was to eliminate the
frills" in a year when the taxes
must be increased for neces-
sites.
One item found Objectionable
by this group was 81, 200 in the
county library systems original
request for films and records.
Sensitive about the current
library film controversy, they
insisted their opposition was
aimed at the budget, not at the
films-or their producers.

implications, and sent copies of
his correspondence to his con-
gressional friends.
Against Cutback
Since the November report
was made public, it was
disclosed that the District Com
misSioners and the Commerce
Department have disagreed
with recommendations for a
cutback in highways. Mr.. Curry
said.
II am concerned that there
be a complete understanding
on the part Of all concerned of
the limited role played by the
Advisory Committee on FL
nance, particularly from the
standpoint of any recommen-
dations relative to cutting back
or delaying the District bigh-
way program" Mr.. Curry said.
I wish to express un-
equivocally my opposition to the
philosophy and proposals in
the Meta reort which would
cut back the highway program
I would appreciate your making
every effort to see that there is
no misunderstanding regarding
my position on this matter" he
concluded.
