Army engineer cites shift in Potomac water plan for canal park
Col. George B. Sumner told the House Interior Public Lands Committee that water needs now drive development plans for the Potomac River rather than earlier dam-heavy proposals. He noted a 1944 study recommended 14 dams, but the plan has changed as metro Washington grows. funding could finish the plan in three years with 500000 and 601000 in upcoming years. Public support for a dammed canal park faces resistance from some who fear flooding historic canal sections. The park would extend from end of the Washington Memorial Parkway above Cenat Baths to a wedge near Brunswick Maryland, with a proposed River Bend dam for water supply.

Clerks May Charge A Reasonable Fee
Maryland court clerks may charge a reasonable fee for issuing licenses per an official opinion by Attorney General C. Ferdinand Syvbert and Deputy AG Stedman Prescott Jr. The opinion answers a Maryland Court Clerks Association request on raising fees beyond 30 cents to cover modern costs. It states statutes lack a set amount, allowing reasonable fees for each license issued. The opinion suggests fees could be $1 if deemed necessary and reasonable to cover actual costs, per city complex plans and clerks’ discretion.
