ings OF Commissioners

Charging that the Montgomery

cooperate with the commissioners
from the other counties of the State,

ator John H. C. Legg of Queen Anne's
county, named chairman of the COM
mittee at the last meeting of the
county commissioners, reads as fol-
lows:
Whereas it has come to our atten-
ton through the public press or other
wise, that the majority of the counties
in the State of Maryland are endeavor
ing to cooperate in the formulation of
a plan to relieve the individual tax
payers of their respective counties of
some of the enormous burden of local
taxes that is today upon them; and
Whereas we are group of nom
partisan taxpayers in Montgomery
county and are anxious to discover
some means whereby the Legislature
can relieve us from the tremendous
burden of taxation which the county
commissioners have imposed upon us;
and
whereas we do not feel that the
county commissioners of Montgomery
county or any of their representatives
are willing to cooperate with your
group in arriving at solution of this
problem.
Therefore we request that we be
allowed to send representatives of our
group to your conferences, SO that
they may obtain frst-hand informa-
ton as to the remedies which will be
adopted and suggested for the ap-
proval of the Legislature"
