60 Day Legislative Session Advocated In House

An attempt to shorten Maryland's Legislature to 60 days was advanced in the House by Delegates William G. Gassaway and Charles C. Marbury. A constitutional amendment would be needed, with ratification by voters. The plan also proposes raising daily pay for salons to 10 dollars to attract more candidates. In the Senate, Governor Nice's plan to redirect 1 million dollars annually from gasoline taxes and bond funds was attacked by Senator Milton L. Veasey, who argued normal times have returned and highway funds should stay with road projects.
