INCREASE IN FIRE
FUND IS SOUGHT
Bill to Define Tax Area in
q Silver Spring to Be Of
> y, (.
fered This Week.
BY a stan Correspondent Of The Star.

SILVER SPRING, Md, March IL
A bill designed to increase the amount
the Silver Spring Volunteer Fire De-
partment Is permitted to raise from its
special maintenance tax and to further
define the area in which the annual
levy is collected will be introduced in
the Maryland General Assembly next
week, 1t was learned today.
The principal aim of the measure is
to amend the original bill passed by the
State Legislature in 1927 to set up a
special tax area so that the department
can realize $4,000 a year from the tax
instead Of the $2,500 it is permitted to
collect for its maintenance and opera
tion under the old act.
It makes no provision for any change
in the maximum rate Of 6 cents on each
500 assessment on property within the
special taxing area.
Three-Cent Rate Is Fixed.
A rate of 3 cents is fixed at the pres
ent time to collect the $2500 provided
for under the original act and, although
the rate could be increased up to 6
cents to raise the $4,000 set forth In
the new bill, it is thought that such
step will not be necessary.
Fire officials said today that they are
of the opinion that recent increases in
the assessable basis of the special tax
area would permit the department to
realize the additional 81 800 without
any change in the Scent rate.
The section Of the new bill dealing
with the boundaries Of the tax area is
made necessary by the recent division
Of the second precinct Of the thirteenth
election district into four precincts to
facilitate the handling Of election
crowds
Would Expand Territory.
The original measure provided that
the tax Is to be collected only in the
second precinct, whereas the new bill
sets forth that the tax will be LEVIED
In the second, fifth, seventh and eighth
precincts, the four precincts growing
out Of the division Of the old second
precinct
Residents Of small portion Of the
old second precinct, whose property was
transferred into the ninth precinct when
the change was made, will be relieved
of the tax as a result of the revision OF
boundaries.
The bill has been forwarded to the
Montgomery County delegation in the
General Assembly and probably will
make its appearance in the House with
Delegate o. w. Roby as its sponsor.

Terms Well Received.
NEW YORK, March II R.-The
terms Of the $800,000000 of new
Treasury financing set for next We'd
nesday were well received in important
banking quarters tonight, where prep
arations were being made for restoring
normal banking activity Monday.
It was explained that the terms left
little doubt that the banks would be
anxious to take up the issue. At 4 and
~ per cent, the banks could buy them
and profitably offer them as collateral
for advances from the Federal Reserve,
at its rediscount rate Of 31a per cent.
Money rates have frightened abruptly
in recent weeks, as currency in circula-
ton shot up more than 81 500, ,000, 900 in
a fortnight. and gold poured out OF the
reserve banks, until the flow was check
ed a week ago. With gold swiftly re-
turning to the banks, however, and any
additional currency needs provided for
by the emergency bank ast, bankers ex:
pected that the money market would

15CENT TAXCUT
L" uHA unV
LIKELY MAXIMUM
Arlington Reduction Seekers
Prepare for Hearing on
Tuesday.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
stan Correspondent Of The Star.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
March 1l.-As the various organizations
seeking drastic reductions in expendi-
lures and in the tax rate prepared to
present their recommendations to the
county board at public hearing next
Tuesday, 1t was learned today that
there is little chance of a cut Of more
than Is cents on the present county
rate of $1.40, and that 1t was more
lkely it will not be mere than 10 cents
It also was indicated that the pro-
posed raise in the school budget, re-
uuiring a substantial increase in the
rate for that purpose, will not be
granted.
Various organizations are prepared
to present resolutions seeking reduc-
tions ranging from IS cents on the
rate to IS per cent, or about go cents
on the combined county and school
rate, at the public hearing.
In commenting upon the matter, a
county official. whose. opinion is ex-
pected to have considerable weight in
passing upon the budget, said today
he believed it would be possible to re-
duce the present rate as much as Is
per cent without seriously curtailing
the county's activities.
NO tun0S IOt Emergency
He pointed out. however. that II the
reduction amounts to as much as Is
per cent it will leave no funds with
which to meet an emergency. such as
the loss of an expensive bridge. a
county building or other county prop
erty through an unforeseen disaster
A 10 per cent reduction would permit
cush contingency fund. he said.
NJ on
expect to enter the public meeting
Tuesday night with open minds. IT
was said, they have given careful con-
stderation to the tentative budget a;
presented and are fully prepared to
state lust what can be accomplished
in the way of reductions without injury
to the county.
In referring to the various resolu-
tions passed. it was pointed out that
recommendations as to savings will be
welcomed, but that demands will not
be so received, since the final decision
in LAYING the levy for the coming year
rests entirely with the county board.
Plan Expenditures Increase.
1t is expected that the county board
will not approve any increase in the
present rate for schools OF $l.05, but
also that it would not decrease thi;
rate. Hence the county board will
probably leave to the school board the
question of making its expenditures
comply with the rate. The schoo
board has provided for increased ex-
penditures in its tentative budget oi
more than 100000, most Of which il
for debt service.
In accordance with action previously
taken. the Business and Professional
Taxpayers League is expected TO de-
mand a reduction Of IS per cent
Recommendations from the Bar Asso'
citation and Chamber Of Commerce
would result. If approved, in reduction:
in the rate ot Is cents.

RAIN DAMAGE SERIOUS
In CORN BELT STATES
Much of Prepared Land Will Have
to Be TtewOrked.
BIZ Science Serrice


WASHINGTON, May 20.-Corn
planting has been so much delayed
by the long period of wet weather
over almost the entire eastern half
of the country that the situation
now is described as critical by the
United States weather bureau.
In the central Mississippi and
Ohio valleys, much Of the land has
not even been plowed, let alone
planted, and a great deal that has
been prepared will have to be re-
worked because of its packed condi-
ton, the result of lOng-continued
heavy rains. In Iowa, planting dur
ing the week continued slow or at
Standstill.
Other crops, especially spring
wheat and oats, also are being held
back in the soggy corn belt states
But more cheerful reports come
from the drier lands to the north
west; offset again by stories of
drought in the southwestern grain
areas.

BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE

CHICAGO, May 2O.-Heavy IL
quotation drove grain prices down
into stop-loss orders for sharp
losses on the Board of Trade today
as tired longs turned sellers. Both
wheat and corn were off around 2
cents at the inside with wheat more
than cents under the recent high
and corn cents under.
Eastern houses were persistent
sellers, as they have been for the
last several days. Nothing in the
news was bullish enough to offset
the bearish sentiment Favorable
crop comments from the northwest
depressed wheat, while corn declined
despite torrential rains in parts of
Illinois and Iowa overnight. The
other grain followed the downturn
in wheat and corn.
At the close wheat was rs to Is
cents lower, corn rs to is cents
lower, oats 81 to q cent lower, rye
IS to is cents lower and barley
cents lower. Provisions were weak.
Cash prices were l to IL cents
lower on wheat, to 2 cents lower
on corn and y to 1 cent lower on
oats. Receipts were: Wheat, 13
cars; corn, 172, and oats, 81.
