BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

BETHESDA. Nd, May 4.-The Q
year-old controversy raging between
the Bethesda Chamber of Commerce
and the citizens of section 8. Chevy
Chase, over the "You are entering Be-
thesda" sign on Wisconsin avenue near
Bradley lane is for a second time to
be settled "once and for all"
Definite assurance of this was given
last night, when a resolution intro
duced by j. Harry Welch ordering the
board Of directors to report next month
on a petition asking that the sign be
taken down was adopted by the cham
Der at a meeting here
The chamber apparently closed the
fight some time ago by voting against
removal of the sign, but the question
was reopened at the April meeting
when the new petition was accepted
for consideration.
Heated Debate on F1oor.
Failure of the board of directors to
report on the petition last night
brought about heated debate on the
floor, which continued for nearly an
IlOuI OCAl6 JCAAlAAldbNh ny bAiC
passage of the resolution offered by
Welch.
Welch, who declared that "thiS mat
ter is making the chamber the laugh
ing stock of the community" and who
pleaded for members of the chamber
to settle the question "once and for
ALL" revealed during the debate that
a nurcber of residents of Section 8.
Chevy Chase, have threatened to go
to Gov. Ritchie unless the sign is re-
moved.
A resolution instructing the Public
Utilities Committee of the chamber to
take up the question of obtaining lower
telephone rates for the Bethesda ex-
change area was unanimously adopted.

A gavel made by boys Of the wood
working class at the Bethesda Chevy

BYRD PLAN SAVING
PROOF IS SOUGHT
State Department of Taxa
tion Requests TreaSurers
to Report 1881 Levies.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

RICHMOND, Va, May 4.-That the
tax figures showing the estimated saw
ings to local property taxpayers
through the Byrd road plan may be
proved, the State Department of Taxa
tion has sent requests to all county
treasurers asking for report of county
and district levies for 1881.
The information will be checked
against county figures already on file,
the department states, because officials
in several counties have criticized the
figures already released.
DR.. william H. Stauffer, department
tax economist, stated 1T is to be
doubted whether any material change
will be made in the aggregate savings
under the new tabulation, for while in
some counties there will probably be
lower figures than those first shown in
other counties the figures will be higher.
Instances of this latter sort have already
been called to the attention of the de-
partment"
