CHAPTER 216
(Senate Bill 600)

AN ACT to add new Section 73A to the Code of Public Local Laws
of Howard County (1965 Edition, being Article 14 of the Code of
Public Local Laws of Maryland), title "Howard County", subtitle
"County Commissioners and County Collectors", to follow imme-
diately after Section 73 thereof, to prohibit burning of automobiles,
MOTOR VEHICLES, or parts thereof, within certain limits of
property lines within Howard County.

Whereas, It has become readily apparent to even the casual ob-
server that there exists in sections of Howard County an unsightly
and unhealthy situation in that junked or scrapped automobiles, or
parts thereof, are being burned to the detriment of the public health,
safety and welfare; and

Whereas, At least one traffic fatality has been attributed to poor
vision created by the heavy smoke resulting from such burning; now,
therefore,

Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That new Section 73A be and it is hereby added to the Code of Public
Local Laws of Howard County (1965 Edition, being Article 14 of
the Code of Public Local Laws of Maryland), title "Howard County",
subtitle "County Commissioners and County Collectors", to follow
immediately after Section 73 thereof, and to read as follows:

73A.

It shall be unlawful for any person, company, partnership or cor-
poration, or any agent thereof to burn any automobiles, MOTOR
VEHICLES, junked or scrapped automobiles, MOTOR VEHICLES,
or any parts of any such automobiles MOTOR VEHICLES within
one thousand feet of any and all property lines of any such person,
company, partnership or corporation or agent thereof in Howard
County, except in a properly constructed and operated incinerator?*
WHICH MEETS THE STANDARDS AS SET BY THE STATE
BOARD OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE. Any such per-
son, company, partnership or corporation, or agent thereof which
violates the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and upon conviction shall suffer punishment by a fine
of one hundred dollars ($100.00) or by confinement in the Howard
County Jail for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days or shall
suffer both such fine and imprisonment for each violation thereof.
