PLAN GAINS

Having dispelled a bugaboo Of
probable increased taxes in the
event that the merger of q small
communities in upper Prince Georges
County Is effected, members of
committee recently appointed by
President L. L. Gray, of the Hyatts-
vile Chamber of Commerce, today
predicted success for THE plan.
Last night the committee, headed
by Arthur p. Owens, Of Bladens-
burg, reported that a survey made
the past week had proved that a
great majority of residents of the
n communities involved in the
merger are in favor of it. Skepti-
cism, he said, was evidenced by
many interviewed as to a probable
increase of taxation. 1t was con.
tended, however, that the enabling
act passed by the Maryland Legis.
lature would provide for such an
increase to be spread" over period
of years.
In event the merger Is realized
Hyattsville will form the central
portion of the new city, proposed to
be called Maryland City. 1t would

Hollywood; embrace a population
Of some 10000 persons, and have
