Approach To New Jug Bridge Threatens Local Homes
State Roads Commission bids on a single lane approach to the Jug Bridge may avoid several Pearl residences and a store, but plans for a future dual lane could require razing the Pearl Bargain House and properties of Mrs. Bessie K. Stauffer and John H. Staley. The route would follow Route 40 toward the hill, with fills up to fourteen feet, a cut of about 27 feet, and the bridge set at an angle over the Monocacy downstream from the current structure. Additional cuts and possible rights‑of‑way acquisitions affect the Long, Hargett, Rosenstock, and Main properties as engineers proceed.

May Deduct Tax Money From Withholding Plan Debate
Washington May 23 Treasury and congressional tax experts pushed for a pay-as-you-go income tax withholding plan by excluding casual and domestic labor. The 10 percent withholding would apply to taxable income and to dividends and interest, to aid collections and curb inflation. Single earners over 11 dollars weekly and married with one dependent over 146 dollars monthly would face the rate, with all deductions offsetting the annual March 15 tax bill.
