PRESIDENT BILLBOARD VOT DUE IN MARYLAND Passage of Measure Seeh on Last Reading in Mary- land House. By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 26.—No serious obstacle to the prompt pas- sage by the House of Delegates of the bill to regulate and tax outdoor ad- vertising in Maryland was seen today when the bill was expected to come before the lower legislative branch for a vote. The bill, with & group of. modifying amendments, was favorably reported by the Ways and Means Committee Tuesday. The House accepted bof the measure and amendments without & dissenting vote at that time. Efforts to defeat proposed legislation { usually occur when the committee re- port is submitted, and the fact that the signboard measure failed to meet even a ripple of opposition at that crit- ical stage leads its backers to believe it will have similar “smooth sailing” when its third reading is reached. Few Bills Passed. The éver-mounting number of com- mittee reports has occupied most of the time of the House this week, al- most to the exclusion of the third reading file. Yesterday, for example, only three bills were passed. This con- gested condition of the calendar may serve to delay for a few days the pas- sage of the billboard measure. Those behind the bill, however, will endeavor to have Speaker Francis A. Michel bring it up for third reading before the House adjourns today. ‘The Metzerott bill, making the ad- vertiser res) ible for illegally placed signs, which was also passed by the House Tuesday, continued on its course toward final enactment today, reaching the Senate at the opening of the ses- sion and being referred to the Judicial Committee. ‘This bill, like the one to regulate and tax signboards, met with no opposition on the floor of the House. ‘This lack of opposition is attributed to several factors, the chief being the ll| public resentment over the desecration VITAMINS B & G For Sale at All Fannie May || Shops ONLY | 0 E St. N\W.—1354 F St. N.W. 1406 N.

The Bureau of the Budget today ex- tended the time for all Government de- partments and establishments to sub- mit their estimates of appropriations for the fiscal year 1933 to September 1, two and a half months Jater than here- tofore. At the same time the bureau eliminated definitely the preliminary estimates. July 15 formerly had been the date for recelving estimates. Departmental chiefs were surprised to receive the call for estimates so early, but were gratified to note that they had been given more time to prepare their figures, This vital change in the budget for 1933 will put additional pressure on the Bureau of the Budget, which must have the budget ready for President Hoover to submit to the new Congress at the opening of its session December 7. No Preliminary Estimates. In the call for estimates this year, J. Ciawson Roop, director of th: Bureau of the Budget has eliminated prelimi- nary estimates.
