1SOMERSET, Md, April 12.-With
tpnt, one more regular meeting before
the Summer adjournment, the Mont
geniery County Civic Federation will
meet Monday night at the Somerset
School, Cumberland avenue, near Dor
set avenue, with one of the longest busi-
ness programs of the current term. In
addition to a number Of important
matters which will be brought in by
committees, the federation at its last
Meeting made the matter of the pro-
vision of a budget committee the spe.
cfG order of bushes.
THE appointment of this committee,
which would collect financial tnformA"
ton on the county and study the pro-
posed expenditures for new projects in
relation to the income, has developed
TidS difference Of opinion, most of the
, opposition having been predicated on
the fear that such committee might
be able to control action on any prof.
ectS recommended to the federation.
Because of the differences of opinion
the matter was put over from last week
and it probably will require considerable
debate Monday night.
= Bylaw Change Pending.
There is also pending before the body
An amendment to the bylaws, put
forth by w. B. Horn, which would have
the secretary keep this financial in
formation available for the use OF any
committee needing the data.
There also will be presented for con-
Sideration lengthy report of the COM
mittee on social welfare, 1t was said. It
3. will deal, it was indicated, in compre-
henSive way with the Social Service
League of the county and allied welfare
activities. The Importance of the mat
ter was evidenced by the fact that the
executive committee last week author
lied W. B. Armstrong, secretary CT the
federation. to have the report printed
for distribution to the delegates Mon
day night.
The committee on roads, streets and
bridges will have report dealing with
the project for widening and treatment
Of Wisconsin avenue from the District
line northward and particularly the
treatment of the thoroughfare at the
District of Columbia Maryland line.
Plans for the project also will be pre-
sented.
Resolutions to Be Reported.
This committee also has been author
g, lied TO report two resolutions, which
originated in the committee one dealing
with the extension OF Massachusetts
avenue from its present terminus in the
District of Columbia, In the direction
81 River road, and the other dealing
: with the proposal to construct roads in
the District to join with the proposed
highways in the projected Rock Greek
Park In Maryland and the New Hamp-
shire avenue connection out Takoma
Park way. AS these two latter matters
are before Congress, 1t was deemed i'm
pQrtant that the federation give them
consideration at the current meeting.
The federation also will take up GER
tain changes in the bylaws, including
the proposal to make former presidents
delegates at large and the amendment
which would specify qualifications of
delegates for Office in the federation.
The committee on legislation and legal
action is expected to make a report on
the Cramton bill and the committee on
