Peach.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

EVANSVILLE, Md, February 10
S. Marvin Peach, former States. at
torney for Prince Georges County, To-Day
sent a letter to State Senator LansdaIe
@. SasScer of Prince Georges County
opposing the suggestion made in a re-
cent lett from T. Howard Duckett to
the Senator that Prince Georges County
join in the legislation which Mont
gomsry County is proposing to buy
park lands through Federal aid. Mr.
Peach said he is convinced that the
people OF Prince Georges are mot now
able TO buy parks"
Mr.. Peach said that he was so
thoroughly in accord with the beauti-
ication of the District of Columbia and
adjoining territory in Maryland and
Virginia that he hesitated to raise
dissenting voice esp cially in view of the
fact that he realized that Mr.. Duckett
had carefully studied the proposition.
In substantiation of his contention
that the county is not in shape now to
undertake the park purchases, Mr..
Peach pointed to the county delinquent
tax list, now being publ, hsd, which he
said seldom has been longer, and to the
fact that the county is being called upon
for tremendous expenditure for public
schools and has the expenses of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
Missions operation and other taxes to
pay. He points out these are actual
necessities but he does not so regard the
park purchasing plan.
