Disturbed By $30,000 Fee For Lobbying
Maryland Governor McKeldin approved tax relief for mutual savings banks but denounced their reported $30,000 lobbying fee in Annapolis. The banks and Joseph M. Wyatt aided passage of a five year plan cutting deposits tax from 25 to 10 cents per $100, saving about $470,000 annually by 1958. The governor noted the money spent behind the bill but said the measure was fair and should not be stymied by lobbying concerns. He also signed four other 1953 measures including a seven member liquor enforcement unit and blocked a proposed rise in the liquor tax.

McKeldin flags tax system fairness amid reassessment plan
The governor notes a five year rotate plan would review one-third of county property annually, risking taxpayer discrimination in districts first assessed. The state association of county commissioners supported the bill. McKeldin suggests the Legislative Council study whether to revert to an old unfair assessing method or keep current law despite local admin burdens.
