Taxicabs May Be Locally Regulated In Maryland
Maryland Court of Appeals upheld a 1945 act enabling Montgomery County to set taxi operation rules and driver license fees. It did not rule on a county ordinance detailing fare zones and fees. The 1949 amendment to the statewide law was discussed as non restricting local regulation, with the court noting legislature limits on interpretation.

Court orders new trial tied to county ordinance retroactivity
Court action follows a writ of certiorari pausing a Circuit verdict that the county must reimburse John S. Bigelow of The We Cab Co. for $203 in license fees. The case touches on whether a 1949 amendment could be construed as retroactively ratifying the ordinance in question. In other news, weekly livestock prices at Woodsboro show hogs at 210-250 lb ranges and various cattle and poultry values across the market.
