ASSEMBLY TO END - SESSIONS TONIGHT Bills for Nearby Maryland Counties All Expected to Pass. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staff Correcpondent of The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 1.—With a probability that all legislation affecting Montgomery anc Prince Georges Coun- ties will be passed through the final legislative grinding period today, the 1929 session of the General Assembly of Maryland. will expire at midnight to- night by operation of law. Practical- ly all of the legislation for the two counties adjacent to the District of Columbia, and part of both of which is included in the greater Washington area, was designed to give these terri- tories a city form of government and to provide for the development and dmprovement along” city lines. The Montgomery County legislation has been marked by sharp differences between the delegations in the House and Senate, with the result that some of the bond issues intended to be provided for schools, roads and an im- proved courthouse at Rockville. have been slashed in the Senate. They are expected back in the House late today, and it is probable that the House dele- gation will move to accept the amend- ed measures because they at least do. provide some money. Several amend- ments to town charters, the principal one of which was Takoma Park, have been approved. Important Measures Passed. In Prince Georges County there were & number of bills making it possible to set up new town governments in several ! built-up areas, provided there is ap- proval by the registered voters at a ref- erendum. Cottage City was provided Wwith a new city set-up in its charter, so as to give officials complete control of its orderly development. Another meas- ure provides for the control of road- houses in the county by the county com- missioners, while still another important measure authorizes the commissioners to regulate and control the location of cemeteries anywhere in the county. This measure was designed particularly to protect the metropolitan district. As to State-wide legislation, the House has passed and the Senate will act this afternoon on the repealer for the decla- rations of intentions act. This would make it unnecessary for new residents of the State to appear and make affi- davit one year beforc an election of | their intention to become a resident of Maryland, but would only have to make an affidavit on registration day that they have lived the requisite time in the State. However, Prince Georges County because of its proximity to the District of Columbia and the rapid increase in its population by absorption of the over- flow from the District, was specifically exempted from the measure as it passed the House. In Montgomery County, to take care of this problem, a law has been passed which authorizes the taking of a police census one year before each registration. Every one whose name ap- pears on the police census books will automatically be allowed to register. Road Bond Bill Approved. ‘The Legislature passed the governor's 000.000 road bond bill, designed to vide funds for a gigantic road-build- g program, out of which Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties will get an. indirect benefit. The measure g;m’lde! for a cut-off road at Laurel to ing traffic into Washington by way of Sixteenth street, over the Columbia Pike to White Oak, and the Colesville road to Sligo. The other road will be a cut-off at Hyattsville, opening Rhode Island avenue direct fo that town. The Senate this afternoon is discuss- ing the bill providing for the placing in each county seat of a deputy clerk of the commissioner of ‘motor vehicles, 5o that residents of each county may transact their routine automobile licens- ing business in those places, rather than going to Baltimore, s is now required. | ‘The bill originally was introduced by| Speaker E. Brooke Lee of Silver Spring, | and provided for four substations in the State, one of them at Silver Spring. It was opposed by the commissioner of motor vehicles, who desired to keep the system as at present, but the measure was amended in the House ways and means committee to make a substation in each county seat, and this was | passed by the House by a substantial majority. There is understood to be some opposition in the Senate. Four-Year-Term Legislature. This is the first Legislature of the State to be elected for a four-year term. This was the second session of the four- year term, and before another session is held, unless the gavernor should find it | necessary to call it into extraordinary gession, there will be an election. The lature meets biennially for 90 days. ring the current session the gov- erpor recommended and the Legislature #bbroved a tax reduction to a flat 25 deents for the next. two years, said to Fthe lowest State tax rate since 1912, is was in the face of the road-build- 9 , program, which is to be financed .'iu"ely out of inheritance taxes col- flacted by the Federal Government in he State. The Federal law permits a State to take 80 per cent of the Fed- Leral inheritance taxes, upon affirmative “petion by the Legislature. This action Swas taken at the present session. /GOAST GUARD ON DUTY "IN FIELD OF ICEBERGS ‘Cutter Takes Up Annual Work of %' Ridding Shipping Lanes of § £ Lurking Menace.

Staft Correspondence of The Star. CLARENDON, Va., April 1.—The board of county supervisors and the zoning committee of the Arlington County Chamber of Commerce having met and found to be in complete ac- cord as to the method of procedure in the zoning of the county, fellowing the revamping of the zoning commission Saturday, the chamber will this week start a concerted drive for the balance of its share of the funds with which to do the work. Prior to Saturday’s meeting the spe- cial committee of 50 members of the chamber who were selected to make the drive had made only a general effort to raise the funds, it being the concensus of opinion that there should be some assurance that the trade body and county governing body would work in lvxlzrer:’mny béfore the money was pro- Another to Be Named. At the regular board meeting on Saturday, when the resignations of a number of the members of the zoning commission were received, a resolution was passed whereby the entire member- ship of the board was ordered vacated, Two of the members, Fred A. Gosnell and A. J. Webb, were then reappointed, Robert H. Forman and J. E. Spaulding being appointed to take the places of two of the resigning members. Chair- man Edward Duncan of Jefferson dis- trict is yet to name the other mem- ber from his district. The Board of Supervisors is heartily in accord with the zoning committee of the Chamber of Commerce, headed by Ashton C. Jones, that the practical way to accomplish the efficient zoning of the county is to employ the services of a practical zoning engineer to carry out the detals of the work, and the two bodies have agreed to work in unison in the selection of the right man for the work. P. P. Woodbridge, secretary of the chamber, today expressed elation at the progress made Saturday and announced that the chamber will now immediately proceed with the task of raising the balance of its share of the $10,000 fund. It is expected that definite plans will be completed at the regular bi- weekly board meeting, which is to be held on Thursday. $4,000 Already in Hand. ‘The chamber already has nearly $4,000 in cash and pledges, but is desir- ous that the balance of the money shall be raised among the residents of the county. Most of the money already subscribed has been provided by the real estate and other business interests, but it is felt that a more general inter~ est in the zoning problem may be ob- tained if the balance of the funds is subscribed in small amounts throughout! the county. A number of civic organi- zations have already pledged themselves to raise a portion of the money through public subscription. Since there is one member yet fo be selected, the first meeting of the new zoning commission has not yet been called. It is expected that A. J. &Webb | will remain as secretary of the commis- sion, but it will be necessary to appoint a new chairman. TESTS WELDED STEEL. PITTSBURGH (#).—A process of tir- ing out steel until it breaks has been devised here to test the structural safety of welding. ‘The apparatus, made by Dr. J. M. Lessells, Westinghouse research engi- neer, bends a steel shaft 20 times a second until it breaks. It records the number of shimmies and stops auto- matically when the break occurs. By its tests, standards have been estab- lished for comparing virgin steel with the welded article. Virgin steel, Dr. Lessells finds, tends to weary after long strain. A bar that stands a load tension of 60,000 pounds a square inch when new, may break finally under a load of but 25,000. An interesting discovery is that if the bars tested stand up under 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 bendings, they have apparent- ly limitless endurance. ==m——=w Arcade Market ==—===_ Every dealer here has the benefit of this wonderful scientific equipment . ‘When you buy from a stand in the Arcade Market you can know its merchandise is cared for under the most scientific and hygienic conditions This Market is a model in construction, equipment and facility.

Both bills will be started on their way in the Senate.

The reapportionment bill will be offered by Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan, who sponsored it in the last session and agreed to postpone action after the measure became involved in | a legislative jam. Chairman Jones expects to call his committee together a few days before Congress convenes to discuss the census bill and to agree on its main features. | The House measure fixed November 1 as the date for the taking of the 1930 enumeration, but Jones favors May 1, next year, believing that more accurate information may thereby be obtained in rural districts,” while the® weather is good.

Headquarters of the United States Public Health Service, quartered since 1891 in a four-story mansion built by Gen. Ben Butler, are being moved to one of the temporary builaa—s erected during the World War, so that the old structure may be razed to make way for an addition to the House Office Building. The old gray mansion will be turned over to a wrecking crew as soon as the records and furnishings are removed, and the stones will be sold at auction. According to tradition, Gen. Butler stored in the house—in its nooks and corners, and perhaps in secret apertures in the walls and foundations—spoils his soldiers gathered in the South during the Civil War. The most persistent legendary contention is that valuable silver lies hidden in the old house. Gen. Butler had it constructed during the 70s, and occupied it many years. ‘Two years after it was designated as the Public Health headquarters—in 1893—Surg. Gen. Cumming was exam- ined there and commissioned an officer of the service. Virtually every other officer since commissioned has been examined in tke same building, and from 1891 to 1901, the hygenic labora- tory which now hag its own buildings, was allotted the top floor.
