Petition Presented For Legalizing Coin Machines By Organizations
Representatives of veterans groups and local organizations in Frederick County met with the county delegation to the General Assembly Friday and presented a petition seeking a bill to legalize coin machines owned and operated by the groups. A referendum would be held at the next general election. The petition was referred for consideration. Delegates and Senator Jacob R. Ramsburg had earlier met with the Monocacy Valley Association to discuss local legislation, including widening the Workmen's Compensation Act and possible benefit increases, plus State Use Industries funding and withholding tax changes. Numerous hearings on local interests were scheduled, including rent control and the 12 year State Roads program. The rent control hearing was set for Thursday at 3 p.m. and the roads program hearing was slated for Tuesday evening. Ramsburg proposed two compromises on roads funding, a state loan pool and a cap of 5.5 million annually to avoid waste. March 11 is set as the date to consider canceling the 300 dollars appropriated in the 1919 bond bill for State Use industries. Local delegates fear cutting private industry. Other bills include municipal home rule, with a favorable judicial committee report. Ramsburg reported that House Bill 317, known as the Throw Away bill, will be heard Wednesday morning. Hearing is scheduled for 10:30 a.m.
