BY stah Correspondent Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, April 8-An echo
Of an alleged wild party in the Club
Mirador, on Bradley boulevard in
Bethesda, last May 8, which eliminated
in raid by the Montgomery County

Inquiry Asked.
Harold c. Smith, Rockville attorney,
representing Miss Julia Walker, owner
Of the property, appeared before the
inquisitorial body and asked 1t to make
an investigation. He was followed by
Miss Walker, who told the jurymen, she
said, that the house was used without
her permission. not merely for a stag
party, but for q terrible affair" She
testified, Miss Walker said, that the
house was broken into and some one
had even gone to the electric power
company, using q fictitious name, to
have the lights turned on for one night.
A refund check Of the deposit money
has since come to her.
Miss Walker says that she also told
the jurymen that those who were In
the house on the night In question ran.

FOUR SPECIAL TAX
RATES ANNOUNCED
Edmonston Road No. | Levy
Only Change Made by Prince
Georges Commissioners.
BY GEORGE PORTER,
stan Correspondent Of The Star.

UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, April g.
Having last week fixed the general
county tax rate at $l35 per 500 as
sessed value on real and personal prop
erty, the Prince Georges County Com
missionerS today announced four spe-
cial taxes effecting the metropolitan
area. All but one we're the same as in
1929
The single change was in the tax of
Edmonston road district No. !, which
was increased from 18 to % cents per
explained, was mandatory under the
law. which provides that after the first
few years the serial bonds which fur
nished the revenue for the road must
be retired. It Is for this purpose that
the additional 10-cent tax is imposed
OF particular interest to residents IN
the county's suburban area will be the
decision to maintain the Park and
Planning Commission tax at cents
per 500. This action, predicted in The
Star several weeks ago, postpones for
another year the possibility Of inaugu-
rating a fund for park development Of
the county.
Considerable effort was made to have
the commissioners make an additional
7-cent levy for park development pur-
poses as has been done in Montgomery
County. Following an explanation of
the commissioners attitude on the sub
ject in The Star, and an announcement
by officials Of the park commission that
the additional tax would not be timely,
the agitation for the additional tax was
postponed.
The other two special taxes announc-
ed by the commissioners are 7 cents
per 500 for the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission and $1.10 for Ed
monston road district No. 2, both Of
which remain unclaimed from 1929.
The State tax, which is also collected
by r. Ernest Smith, county treasurer. is
against 25.74 cents per 500 last year.
