Road Bill May Clear Assembly Road Bill May Clear Assembly
ANNAPOLIS The 568 million road-building program seemed sure to clear the General Assembly despite threats from insurgent Senate Democrats who oppose the plan. The House rejected the tax reduction proposal yet 22 of 29 senators appear supportive of the 12 year highway renewal. The session must finish today or risk clock stoppage to continue beyond the limit. Other measures edge toward decisions including oyster leasing suspensions and a Potomac River Oyster Commission proposal blocked by county amendments. The insurgents back elimination of the sales tax on household fuels, a bill once doomed, now revived as the tax relief effort stalls. In other business, a local executor sale near Catoctin Furnace sold a Mary C. Holtz property for 725 dollars, with personal items auctioned by W. R. Kelly.
