Amendments To Road Bill May Be Asked
Legislators report next Friday as the deadline for introducing new measures in the General Assembly. County commissioners oppose sections forcing three fall public meetings on road plans and a $50 000 annual borrowing provision. They also seek power to remove a roads engineer, oppose inviting public petitions at meetings, and expect limited additional county legislation before the deadline. Senator Hoff proposes Taneytown borrow 400000 for sewage works. Delegate Harris hopes to move a Sunday alcohol sales bill out of committee amid protests over a hunting bill unlikely to pass.
