5. To take over at an appraised
value the road machinery and equip

such additional equipment as may be
necessary, provided that the existing
road personnel may be utilized where
ever the same may be available and be
used efficiently and economically.
6. Any county may withdraw from
the operation of the plan at an cleo
ton provided for.
The Virginia law is well worth care
full consideration before final action is
taken at the proposed joint meeting
at Annapolis. The State Roads Com
mission with its efficient organization
could work out some plan that would
be adopted to the conditions in Mary
land and make large saving to the
counties in direct taxation.

M. D. Knight Advocates State Roads
Commission Handling All Highways
Former Engineer Of Montgomery County System Be-
lieves Virginia And North Carolina Plan Would
Work Here With Fuel Tax Taking Care Of
All Construction And Maintenance

Merrill D. Knight, former engineer
of the County road system, has writ
ten the Sentinel advocating the main
tenance of the State roads system
through the levying of the fuel tax.
taxpayers burden can be lightened if
the matter is left entirely in the
hands of the State Roads Commission.
Mr.. Knights letter follows:
note in your issue of November A
at the joint meeting of the County
Commissioners the adoption of reso-
luton asking for the ALLEGATION of a
part of the gas tax to be applied
to the maintenance of said roads I'M
der the direction and supervision of
local boards of County Commission
ers."
The object of this resolution is to
tighten the tax burden in the counties.
This can be achieved if the mainten-
ance, construction and reconstruction
of roads is placed entirely in the
hands of the State Roads Commits
sion, such maintenance and construc-
ton to be charged against the motor
fuel tax.
Such has been done in North Caro-
lima for several years. The Byrd plan
adopted by Virginia in 1882 is now in
force there.
The following is summary of the
salient provisions of the Byrd plan;
l. Control vested in the Highway
Department.
2. Twice in each year the Highway
Department shall meet with the coun-
ty authorities and present plans and
proposals for the maintenance and i'm
provement of the roads.

The President-elect received plur-
atty of more than four million votes
over President Hoover, and the all
time high record number of 472 cleo
toral votes. Hoover received only SO
of the electoral votes, of which
Pennsylvania contributed SO. In ad-
ditional to Pennsylvania, the Presi-
dent carried only five other States as
follows: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine
New Hampshire and Vermont. Iowa,
the State of his birth, and California,
his adopted State, were both in the
Roosevelt column.
Rock-ribbed Republican Michigan,
which hasn't bolted G. O. P. ticket
since before the Civil War, joined

Three of the most outstanding
national figures who went down to
defeat were Senator James E. Wat
son, Of Indiana. Republican leader of
the Senate; Senator George H. Moses,
of New Hampshire, President pro
tenn of the Senate, and Senator Reed
Smoot, of Utah, chairman of the
powerful Finance Committee.
The Democrats will have over
whelming majorities in both the
House and Senate of the Seventy
third Congress. In the House they
will have the greatest majority of
their party's history-one that might
even exceed the record smashing
majority won by the Republicans in
the Harding landslide of 1920.

David ]. Lewis will go back to
Capitol Hill with a majority of near
ly $4,000, it is believed, when the
official county is completed. In Mont
gomery County Lewis majority was
S,177, on the basis of unofficial re-
turns. Frederick County gave him a
majority as did Washington and Allie
ghany. He lost Garrett by only little
over LOG votes, q county with G.
10. P. registered majority of 5000.
Senator Tydings easily won in
Montgomery County and lead the
ticket with majority of 1905. One
of the ablest of the younger group in
the Senate, Tydings is believed to be
in a position to WELD much power III
the near future.
Harold Smith, Rockville lawyer and
opponent of David J. Lewis, carried
the third precinct of Rockville by 95
votes. He also carried Takoma Park
but ran behind Hoover in Chevy Chase
which gave the President a majority
of 397 over Gov. Roosevelt.
Although big vote turned out in
Montgomery County, considerable
number of Republicans who usually
cast ballot stayed home. 1t is be-
lieved that they were opposed to
Hoover but preferred not to vote for
a Democrat. This was particular true
in several of the rural precincts.
Governor Roosevelt was elected to
the Presidency of the United States
by one of the greatest landslides in
history. This same landslide which
carried the Democratic nominee to the
White House swept a Democratic
majority into both Houses of Congress
and returned Democratic Governors in
many States.

Health Department
Issues Narrative
Report For Month
Health Program For Coming
Months Is Stressed By Local
Head Of Health Survey

The Montgomery County Health De-
partment stresses its program for the
coming months in its report for Octo-
Der. The program is as follows:
Health Program-The program of
the County Health Department for
the remainder of the year ending
July 1, 1888 was submitted to the
County Commissioners on October 20,
1882. The Commissioners held short
meeting as the County Board of!
Health, in accordance with Article 43
Section 48 of the State Health Laws
which states that the Local Board of
Health of each county shall meet
semi-annually in the months of Nay
and October. The Commissioners ex-
pressed satisfaction with the Health
Program and are also much interested
in a report of the conferences with
dairymen concerning proposed milk
regulations.
Milk Regulations-A meeting of all
County darymen was neld on Friday
October Ia for the presentation and
discussion of the milk regulations
which had been prepared by COM
mittee of dairymen in cooperation
with the Health Department. The
farmers expressed satisfaction with
all parts of the regulations except
that pertaining to permits and label
ing. A committee of six dairymen was
appointed to study these two points
and report at another meeting. The
regulations as drawn up at present.
require the issuance Of permits but
do not require grading.
tuberculosis Clinics-The monthly
tuberculosis clinic, under the auspices
of the Maryland tuberculosis Associa-
ton, was held at the Montgomery
County General Hospital on October
81. This was the first clinic held on
the appointment basis. Formerly,
patients came at the beginning of the
morning or afternoon and had to wait
their turn, some waiting over an hour.
There was not only no waiting at this
clinic, but no turning away of pat
tents who could not be examined be-
cause of overcoming.
Poolesville School Work-School
children are being examined in Pooles
vile in accordance with the new plan
of having both attending physician
and parents present at the examina-
tons. Quite a number of parents have
not come to the school for the exam
nations owing, in all probability, to
difficulty in getting from the homes to
the school. In schools serving large
areas and depending on bus transpor-
tation, many children live long dis
tances from the school and parents
find it difficult to reach these schools.
A. p. H. A. Meeting-The staff of
the Health Department devoted all
of the time they could spare in attend
ing the recent meetings of the Amer
lean Public Health Association inl
Washington. The papers read at these
meetings covered all topics of public
health. The meetings were the largest
in the history of the Association and
reflected the marked progress which
is being made at the present time in
the field of public health.

ed While Strong Boxes Are
Taken to Basement.

Police headquarters was deserted to-
day, as workmen prepared to remove
two safes with a combined weight OF
between IL and IA tons from the fifth
floor to the basement.
The safes, which contained property
valued at approximately 100000, were
ordered transferred to the basement
after plaster began falling from the
ceiling of room on the third floor.
Collapse Feared.
The weight of the safe is SO great, it
was felt, that the old building might
fall beneath it. The fear of possible
collapse of the structure was intensi-
fled by the fact that two smaller safes,
in addition to many desks, filing
cabinets and other heavy equipment
were on the same floor.
The total weight of this equipment,
according to an estimate made by Chief
Clerk H. E. Crawford, whose Office ad
joins the room in which the safes have
been kept, is about $50 tons.
The property stored in the safes in
cludes money, jewelry and other things
some held as evidence and others as
unclaimed.
