C., TOWN WAY OPPUSE TRAFFGLAW RULE Mayor Beall of Mount Rainier “Not Sure” He Will Accept State Opinion. BY GEORGE PORTER, Staff Gorrespondent of The Star. MOUNT RAINIER, Md, July 29.— Although he had received no official report of the opinion of Assistant At- torney General Herbert Levy on the legality of this town's traffic ordinances, Mayor John H. Beall this morning de- clared he “was not sure” that the ruling of tie attorney general would be ac- cepted as final, and asserted there was no intention on the part of the town officials to violate the law, even though Mr, Levy had characterized the Mount Rainier ordinance as “the most flagrant and obvious violation of the letter and spirit” of portions of the State motor vehicle law that has come to the atten- tion of his office. Resents Publication. Mayor Beall seemed to resent the publication of the attorney general's opinion in Baltimore and Washington newspapers before he had been officially notified of it. The mayor said that, in his opinion, if the Mount Rainier ordinances were in violation of the State traffic laws, then those laws would be changed at the next session of the State Legislature. Mr. Beall pointed out that the State was not furnishing adequate traffic pro- tection in the town, thus forcing the community to inaugurate a traffic patrol of its own. Furthermore, the mayor said, the town officers cannot afford to make the arrests if their only compensation is the fee given by the State in such cases. Town Clerk B. E. Sager, who was consulted by First Sergt. Atkinson of the Maryland State Police Force, one of the investigators, expressed sur- prise at features of the report charging numerous instances of police taking collateral on the street. inasmuch as the sergeant confined his inquiries to the costs charged by the town in traMic cases and did not ask about roadside collateral. State Opinion. The assistant attorney gencral made his statement in a letter fo E. Austin Baughman, motor vehicle commissioner, who had requested a ruling on the town ordinances. Mr. Levy's letter sald: “From time to time you have sub- mitted to this department municipal ordinances which have been declared jnvalid as in conflict with the general motor vehicle law, but the ordinance above quoted is the most flagrant and obvious violation of the letter and spirit of sections 171 and 171-A of article 56 that has ever been called to our attention. “You will recall that prior to 1927 there was some question as to the scope of section 171, and I can readily under- ztand how, at the time of the enact- ment of the ordinance (September, 1926) here under consideration, th municipal authorities might have thought that most of the provisions of the said ordinance were valid. “However, in 1927, I prepared and submitted to the Legislature, section 171-A, the purpose of which was to make it clear that the provisions of the general motor vehicle law were exclusive of all public local laws and municipal ordinances and regulations ~ .covering the same subject matter.” Opinion Continues. After quoting section *171-A, Mr. Levy continued: “You will note that all public local Jaws, ordinances and regulations in- consistent or identical with any pro- vision of the general motor vehicle law, or similar or equivalent to any such provision, were repealed, and the char- ters of all municipal corporations of this State were modified so as to pro- hibit such corporations from making or enforcing any ordinance or regulations in violation of the said section.” Penalties prescribed cannot be im- posed for violation of any provision of the ordinance which is invalid, the let- ter said. “I am sure that the municipal au- thorities of Mount Rainier will not con- tinue to enforce the provisions of the ordinance, the illegality of which is so plainly apparent, if the matter is brought to their attention,” Mr. Levy continued. “They cannot help but see that the continued enforcement of such provisions would seriously conflict with the clearly avowed policy of this State of having one motor vehicle code ap- plicable to the whole State.” State Law Repeals Town Acts. Section 171-A, referred to, deals with the applicability of town ordinances, re- pealing all those not in accord with the State law. i Having ordered the police to make no traffic arrests until the matter is clari- fied, Mayor Beall announced this morn- ing that no particular steps were planned by the town in the immediate future, but that the council was “await- ing developments.” MISS ANN CUCULLU WEDS E.
