Bonus Bill Is Legally Questionable
Maryland lawmakers wrapped a 1958 session with a war veterans bonus bill seen as legally dubious. The Senate passed a 15-13 vote amid questions of constitutionality, while the House let its version die after earlier attempts. If signed, the plan would pay $15 monthly overseas and $10 monthly stateside per veteran, funded by higher sales taxes projected to take 15 years to repay.

Walking Party To Survey Old Canal Draws Notables
A walking and camping party plans a 183 mile on the spot survey of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal from Washington to Cumberland starting March 20. Justice William Douglas will lead with co leaders Merle Pursey and Robert Estabrook, joined by prominent conservationists and outdoor enthusiasts. The group aims to assess preservation needs as a potential parkway and sanctuary along the canal in the National Capital Parks system. The effort stems from Justice Douglas remarks on January 17 about a parkway along the canal. Meanwhile a separate note from Indianapolis reports a wind driven incident where a railroader’s pants were stolen after a room door and window were blown open by a March wind. Virginia and Oregon have no sales or cigarette taxes.

Price Electric considers purchasing Frederick farmland for plant expansion
L V Roughan, president of Price Electric, confers with Mayor Donald B. Rice and the Frederick Board of Aldermen about buying roughly 25 acres near the Municipal Airport for a large one-story factory. If secured, 800 current employees across Frederick City and Brunswick plants would move to the new site with space for 400 cars, recreation, and ball diamonds. The city will coordinate with the CAA to assess permit viability. A Frederick Historical Society delegation, led by Charles McC Mathias Jr., sought help repairing bells and carillon chimes, including letters from Princeton engineer Arthur Bigelow praising Frederick’s bells. Additional talks cover water use for new houses and curb and gutter installations on several streets. Public hearings and petitions on related improvements followed.
