Gov. Albert C. Ritchie is| d to sign the measure within the | ew days. It becomes operative June 1. Only Word Changed. e Senate amendment to the bill rely changed a word, it having been printed erroneously in one place in the bill where the phrase “safety of the travelling public” appeared. When the amendment was read in the House, Miss Lavinia Engle, one of | the sponsors of the bill, moved that| nch concur in the Senate | amendment, and the motion was car-| vied unanimously. All previous action | of the House on the bill had been with- | out a dissenting vote, but in the Senate | nine votes were recorded against it when it came up for third reading. Under the terms of the bill all out- door advertising signs within 500 feet of a State road will be placed under the supervision of the State Roads Com- | mission, and &n annual tax of one-half | cent per square foot levied on each individual sign. All of the billboard | companies operating in Maryland will be gequired to pay & $200 yearly license fee. Miss_Engle, together with Delegates Kent R. Mullikin, Oliver Metzerott and Lawrence P. Wililams, who introduced the measure jointly, today expressed the opinion that'a marked improvement in the appearance of Maryland's many scenic highways should be apparent shortly after the measure goes in effect. , POLLARD’S PRAISE WON BY ARLINGTON County Congratulated for Being First in U.
