10 # TAG WAR ACTION 5 ASKEDOF YRD Washington, Arlington and‘ Fairfax Men Go to Richmond | for Reciprocity Conference. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. FAIRFAX, Va. June 7.—Automobile Teciprocity between Washington and Virginia and immediate steps to avert resumption of the truck license tag war, which last year threatened the present | have cluttered the highways leading amicable reiations, yesterday were urged on Gov. Byrd by & joint committee rep- | in Prince Georges County this Summer, resenting the trade bodies of Fairfax |the Maryland authorities announced to- and Arlington Counties and Washing- | day. ton. This delegation, including F. D. Richardson, Thomas Keith and George Robey of Fairfax; Guy Church of Falls Church, William ‘Jorg of the Washing- |work on t ton Board of Trade, Jerome Fancuilli of | promptly with the issuance of warnings the Washington Chamber of Commerce, | Mr. Spies of the Washington Bakers' | Association, Mr. Frame of the Mer- | chants and Manufacturers’ Association | and Mr. McGill, secretary of the Mary- | land-Virginia Milk Producers’ Associa- | tion, asked that regulations be adopted | allowing trucks of business concerns of the District of Columbia to enter Vir- ginia to do business on District of Co- | lumbia tags, when they return to the | District the same day or night. | ‘The matter has recently been brought into the limelight again by the arrest | in Manassas of a Washington laundry | truck and in Remington of a truck of | the Continental Baking Co. on the charge of operating only on District of Columbia licenses. The last State Leg- islature passed a bill leaving this ques- | tion of license tags to the discretion of | the governor. Motor Vehicle Commis- sioner James Hayes, who attended the conference with the two officers from Culpeper and Prince Willlam Coun- ties, who made the arrests, stated that 18 months had passed with no attempt to amend the present law and his men were acting within their rights in mak- | ing the arrests. Gov. Byrd expressed himself as in- | terested and sympathetic and desirous of giving Virginia equal advantages in the trade and development competition with suburban Maryland. The delega- tion pointed out to him that the con- struction of new connecting -bridges and highways was doing much to over- come the handicap previously offered by the Potomac River barrier, but that an- other auto tag war between Virginia and the District would be trous to expansion as well as to friendly rela- tions. Gov. Byrd asked Mr. Hayes to pre-' pare for him immediately a complete report on the reciprocity extended to the District of Columbia by Maryland and on that existing between Virginia and 1ts other border States, North Car- olina and West Virginia. When this report is received, Gov. Byrd has prom- ised to make an immediate decision.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D..C., FRIDAY, JUNE T, COUNTY FIREWORKS STANDS Be Permitted—P BY GEORGE PORTER, Staff Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md,, June 7.— | Unsightly temporary roadside stands | for the sale of fireworks, which in the years since firecracker selling has been | unlawful in the District of Columbia, into Washington will not be peymitted Although several such stands already have been begun by merchants who have fafled to obtain building permits, them is expected to stop by police authorities that the structures come within the new zoning ordinance and require a permit. Would Reject Applications. It scarcely will be necessary for the merchants to go through the formality of applying for the permits, however, for the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission probably will disapprove them, according to James C. Blackwell, county clerk, who conferred with Irving C. Root, chief engineer of the planning body, on the subject. Under the zoning ordinance, which was put into effect by the county com- missioners last Winter, applications for all such buildings must be passed upon by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. After that PUT UNDER BAN FOR THIS YEAR 'Maryland Authorities Announce Tem- porary Roadside Structures Will Not ermits Required. body has disapproved permission for a fireworks stand, the merchant might appeal to the county commissioners, who have the final decision. Blackweli says, but the appeal probably would not be acted upon before the Fourth of July. The law applies not only to inde- pendent stands erected apart from all other bulldings, but small _additions added to stores or shops already bullt. There will be no way, however, to halt the sale of fireworks in buildings now occupled by merchants who add them to their line and dispense them inside their present quarters. Complaints Received. Several complaints against the sale and discharge of fireworks have been received by county police in the last few days, according to Deputy Sheriff A. W. Hepburn, who declares there is considerable sentiment against fireworks not only as a fire hazard, but as a trafic menace as well. There were several accidents on the Baltimore boulevard last Summer as a result of fireworks being discharged suddenly near the highway or thrown into ma- chines by children, he recalls, while iwo years ago a temporary stand in Cedarcroft, containing about $1,000 worth of fireworks, burned to the ground from a sparkler thrown behind the counter, Hepburn says. Opposed to those who want to abolish the sale of fireworks in the community are those who point out it is the source of considerable revenue. SPLIT OVER ROADS DENIEDBY COUNTY Prince Georges Commission- ers Repudiate Disagreement With State Board. By a:Staft Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., June 7.— Reports printed in two Washington newspapers and county papers in Prince Georges to the effect that there exists a disagreement between the commis- sloners of that county and the State Roads Commission over lateral road recommendations have been repudiated by the commissioners, James C. Black- well, county clerk, announced today. In a formal resolution, the commis- sioners placed themselves “on record as repudiating press reports to the effect | that there is any disagreement between the county commisisoners and the State Roads Commission as to the 1929 build- ing program, and, furthermore, declare that there is absolute agreement and full accord as to the construction of the county roads to be taken over by the State Roads Commisison as provided in the $550,000 bond issue of Prince Georges County.” ‘The reports to which the commission- ers objected declared the commissioners were arranging a conference with Gov. Albert C. Ritchie for the purpose of securing his backing in their effort to have more gravel roads built than the State Roads Commisison would approve. Their repudiating resolution gives no further explanation as to why their counsel, M. Hampton Magruder, wrote the governor in an effort to arrange such a conference. ‘The conference with the governor has never been held.

POLICEMAN TAKES BALL TO PUT END TO DISPUTE Man Halted Sandlot Game When Sphere Was Batted Inside His Fence. There is a base ball at the office of the property clerk of the Police Depart- ment awaiting its owner, from whom it was taken yesterday by Policeman E. C. Moore of the thirteenth precinct, when he was requested to break up a neighborhood base ball game. Moore, sent to the rear of the 500 | block of Decatur street, found a group of youthful base ball players on one | side of a fence and an angry property owner on the other. The boys' demand that their ball, which had fallen inside the yard, be returned, was refused by the man. Moore settled the argument by taking the ball himself. Several boys and the father of one called at the police station last night for the ball, but were told that they would have to apply at the office of the property clerk in the District Building. No one had called for it this morning, however. Earlier in the afternoon Officer Moore had been caslled upon to break up a base ball game in on Sherman_ Circle. “After chase he front property within the State as may be adopted by the Legislature. caught all the boys, and after lecturing them let them go.
