Legislature To Close Monday In Maryland session end.
The Maryland Legislature will close the 2931 session Monday amid little substantive action. Local issues dominated with fights over purse netting likely to pass, auto mobile fees trimmed, and Sunday Law reforms debated. The Senate rejected a constitutional convention, and efforts to abolish the whipping post and repeal Jim Crow faced defeats. A Montgomery county bill for two infirmaries failed 85 to 22, threatening Eastern Shore counties with a $300,000 cost and high per capita inmate costs.
