VICTORIES SCORED ON ANTL-SIGN BILL Maryland Delegates Act on Two Road Advertising Measures. By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 25—The widespread sentiment in favor of long- needed legislation to regulate and re- strict billboards in Maryland was re- fiected in the House of Delegates Ses- terday when the s of billboard- control measures scored a double vie- tory with the passage of one of their bilis and the adoption cf a favorable report, with amendments, on another. Advertiser Made Responsible. The bill given final passage makes the advertiser responsible for illegally placed signs. - Under its terms the person or firm whose business or merchandise is advertised on & sign adjacent o a public highway m the written owner is sub- consent of the ject to a fine. It was introduced by Delegate Oliver Metzerott of Prince Georges County and now goes to the Senate. '} The bill favorably reported was spon- sored by Delegates Metzerott, vinin Engle, Kent R. Mulliken and Lawrence P. Williams and makes billboards sub- ject to taxation and supervision by the | State Roads Commission. Under its terms, as amended before the Ways and Means Committee, the individual signs will be taxed at the rate of one-half cent per square foot a year, while all signboard companies operating in Maryland are required to pay a $200 license fee. The backers of the bill, as a concession to the sigrboard compenies, amended it that the square-foot assessment w':um be called a “fee” instead of & ‘As was expected, the report of the ‘Ways and Means Committee was prac- tically unanimous, no record vote hav- ing been taken in the committee room. Likewise, in the House the favorable report on the bill and all its amend- ments were adopted by viva voce vote without a single voice being heard against the pi 3 After the committee amendments had been adopted, Delegate Arthur G. Cullers of Garrett County offered an additional amendment eliminating po- litical posters, signs advertising church fairs and billboards along dirt roads from the provisions of the bill. Discussion on these amendments threw the House into a hilarious uproar ‘when Delegate Cullers became en- snarled in a parliamentary tangle while supposedly interrogating Delegate Metzerott. Political Posters Waste Money. ‘The Prince Georges Delegate pointed out that billboards which endanger traffic on dirt roads should certainly be eliminated as well as those consti- tuting trafic hazards on hard surface highways, and claimed political posters were, to his observation, a waste of money anyhow. Delegate Joseph B. Griesacker of Bal- timore City explained that one of the committee amendments exempted church and county fairs and signs ad- vertising historic Maryland shrines. Delegate Cullers’ proposed amend- ments were then defeated by an oral vote and the bill ordered printed for third reading. Because of the heavy volume of business it is nct expected that the bill will be ready for final " | passage in the House before tomorrow. a d New York Phiheffiin STATES STORAGE CO.. 418_10th Bt N.W _ Met Go After the Spring —business with result-bringing printips.” At your service with DEAA!

BY GEORGE PORTER, Staft Correspondent of The Star ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 25.—Finally reaching some of the Senate bills Wh\ce have been piling up on its third-read= ing file for scveral weeks, the House of Delegates yesterday passed the bill abol- | ishing the A'ta Victa special taxing area {and twe other Mcntgomery County measures. ‘The Alta Vista bill, introduced by Senator Robert G. Hiltor! of Montgom- ery County, eliminates the special tax- ing area for that community, but pro- vides outstanding levies be collected by the county treasurer and applied to the ayment of existing debts contracted | gy the Citizens' Committee. The bill now goes to the Governor for his sig- nature. The other Senate Montgomery County bills given final approval by the House and sent to the Governor authorizes a $50,000 bond issue for water and sewer construction in Rockville and gives the county commissioners authority to con- | demn land. The House also passed three of its| the upper branch one Montgomery County measure was passed and four introduced. Penalty for False Alarms. ‘The Farrington bill providing penal- ties fof persons who turn in false fire alarms was one of the measures adopted by the House. A bill increasing the expense allowance of members of the Montgomery County Board of Education from $100 to $300 a year, which had been opposed by the Montgomery County Civic Federation, was also passed. Delegate Marvin Far- ngton also introduced this measure. ‘The third bill d by the House provides that the Montgomery County commissioners receive a salary of $1,800 a year instead of $1,200, as at pres- ent. This bill, sponsored by Delegates George L. Edmonds, Lavinia Engle, w. Rohg and Marvin Farrington, antici- pates the necessity of two meetings a week by the county commissioners. ‘The upper branch took final action on Senator Hilton's bill to create the office of supervisor of county aid in Montgomery County. It is reported a minor amendment will be attached to this measure in the House. Bill Asks for Free Water. The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission is authorized to furnish water to charitable inst'tutions in Montgomery County under the terms of a bill introduced by Senator Hilton, provided those institutions are open to Tesidents of the ecuna. B Appointment of e supervisor of school property by the county commis- sioners is made possible in_two other bills introduced Mr. Hilton. At} present this official is named by the County Board of Education, subject to the approval of the county commission- ers. ‘The Hilton bills not only give the county commissioners, the. outright power to appoint the school property supervisor but also enable that official to appoint school janitors.
