TAX CUT IS SEEN
IN PRINCE GEORGES
Commissioners Expected to
Set Rate at $1.49 Per
500 on Monday.
BY GEORGE PORTER,


UPPER MARLBORO, Md, March "a
When the Prince Georges County
Commissioners meet next Monday to
sign the 1882 levy they expect to flx
the county tax rate at $l.49 per 500
1t was learned from an unofficial but
reliable source today.
The rate will represent a reduction of
cents from the 1881 levy OF sl.52
and will be achieved in spite Of an in
creased budget that would have boosted
the rate to $l.55.
Cut Budget to Minimum.
In making up the levy for this year
the commissioners called a halt on the
rapidly increasing costs of government
and through various economies kept
all items in the budget down to mini
mum. The cut in the county tax rate
was achieved through 3-cent reduc-
ton in the county road levy, On in
crease of about $l,000,o00 in the as
seSSable basis of the county and other
factors.
1t was also learned that the COM
missioners expect to provide for the
opening of the Branchville- Glenn Dale
road this year along lines suggested by
the Branchville- Glenn Dale Defense
Highway Road Association, which in
volve part of the expense being borne
by the county and part by the road
districts through which the highway
runs.
Firemen to Get $4,000.
Many of the items that go into the
levy are fixed by law and the commits
sioners have no authority to change
them. The largest feature, included for
the first time this year under a new
law, is an appropriation of $4,000 for
the Volunteer Firemens Association, an
increase Of $4,000 over the allotment
to the firemen during recent years. 1t
was also necessary for the commission
ers to make provision this year for the
payment of election expenses.
The commissioners efforts to hold
down coNnty expenses was chiefly evil
dent in, the road levy item, one of the
few where they have discretion. This
amounted to % cents during 1881, but
will be slashed to 20 cents this year.
In the school budget the economical
program also was manifest, the total
appropriation being exactly the same as
last year, in spite of an indicated in
creased enrolment that normally would
have called for boost Of $4,000.

Rabbit and Hare Decidedly Different

HE rabbit and the hare are often considered
to be the same animal yet this is errone-
Gus for they are quite different in appearance
and decidedly different in habits The hare,
for instance, has long ears and legs, while the
rabbit has short ears and legs. The hare is
born with fur and is able to see at once, while
a time.
1t is in the habits, however that they differ
most. The hare is a speedy runner and prac-
tically tireless His long legs send him over
the ground in tremendous leaps which usually
foil all pursuers. He lives in hutches on the
surface under some form of protective cover
ing supplied by nature.
Evening star., 1932-03-06

The rabbit, on the other hand, is burrow-
ing animal and because of its short legs it Is
unable to run far nor exceptionally fast. It
will circle around and hole in whenever it is
chased by a persistent pursuer.
Australia, on which the rabbits are not ma
tive, imported them around 1890 with the hope
that they would become sufficiently established
to overcome the wild cactus and other plant
pests. The cure was worse than the illness,
however. for the rabbits are prolific breeders
and after time it became necessary to offer
a bounty for rabbit skins to stimulate the
hunters to kill them off. Twenty-Five million
skins were turned in in one year alone in New
South Wales

PyImihUe Mil Still Used

ONE of the earliest types of mill used for
grinding corn, the quern, is still to be
found in use in some Of the more remote parts
Of Ireland and in the Hebrides and Shetlands
1t is primitive type of mill, yet ingenious in
its operation. 1t is composed of two circular
fiat stones, the upper of which is drilled
through the center with funnel-shaped open
ing. wooden or metal pin inserted in the
center of the lower stone provides an axis
about which the upper stone revolves. Set in
the outer edge of the upper stone is another
pin used as handle for turning the stone
The grain to be ground is dropped with one
hand down the funnel-like opening in the
center, while the upper stone is turned with the
other hand. The meal thus produced is coarse
but nevertheless meets the needs Of those using
the quern.

Manure Relents ON WildLife

h IATURE hB way Of amehorating harmful
conditions which the eccentricities oe
weather often create. For instance, the ex-
tended drought of the past two years took heavy
toll Of the wild fowl Of the country So great
was the reduction of the birds that the hunt-
ing season was generally restricted.
This year, however, conditions have worked
the other way Because of more or less un-
favorable weather conditions for hunting. the
shooting of birds fell far below the normal
total. Then, as added benefit, the warm
Winter held the Southern migration to a min
imum with the result that larger number OF
nesting birds is expected to be on hand for the
nesting season. If conditions are favorable
this Spring, there is little doubt but what the
wild bird population will be much greater this
Fall than last
