INTRODUCTION OF RESOLUTIONS.

By Mr. Jones: Senate Joint Resolution requesting the Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress from Maryland to oppose
the "Borland Amendment" to the Federal Appropriation Bill.

WHEREAS, The proposition is now on foot to add an extra
hour to the Government employes in Washington, District of
Columbia; and

WHEREAS, For the following reasons, certain counties of
Maryland will be affected by the adoption of said amend-
ment:

First—Because nearly five thousand of said employes re-
siding in the counties of Maryland adjacent to the District
of Columbia will be compelled to remove or change their resi-
dence on account of the additional half hour in the morning,
which renders a hardship upon said employes, caused by the
necessary time it requires to reach said offices.

Second—Because the change of domicile of so many citizens
in Maryland adjacent to said District would be detrimental
to the best business interests of the community, as well as
social conditions generally.

Therefore, resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That the Senators and Representatives in Congress from Mary-
land are hereby requested to use all honorable means in their
power to defeat the "Borland Amendment" to said Federal
Appropriation Bill.

Resolved further, That the Secretary of the Senate is di-
rected to send a copy of each of these resolutions, properly
certified, to the two United States Senators from Maryland,
