1934-5 Despite Break
in Water Pump.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MOUNT AIRY, Md, June 9.-Not-
withstanding the fact that the col
lapse of one Of the pumps at the
town water station will necessitate
the immediate capital outlay of more
than $500, the Mount Airy mayor
and Council this week balanced the
budget for the 1934-5 year. Further
more, the budget-balancing feat was
accomplished despite scent reduc-
tion in the tax rate.
AS one of its first official acts since
being reelected for another two-year
term, the Council, in regular monthly
session this week, adopted budget
prepared by Mayor Charles A. Ogle
which provided for cut in the pres
ent rate Of 95 cents on the $l00 OF
taxable property to 80 cents. Thus
the incumbent town heads have con-
tinued their policy of an economical
administration and, since 1880, the
group now in Office has managed
through careful financing, to cut the
sl.l0 rate to the present 95-cent fig
ure and when tax bills for the 1934-5
year are mailed they will evidence
the additional drop to 80 cents.
The practice of welfare agencies
which dispense charity weekly to in
dividuals physically able to do man.
ual labor. without any return from
the recipients of the dole, was roundly
scored by the Council, and it was or
dered recorded in the minutes that
Jle entire group was unanimously op-
posed to such tactics, which, they con-
tended, were conducive to shiftless-
ness and self-imposed idleness. In
dividuals who apply to the mayor and
Council for relief, they brought out,
will be required to work out" all
funds received as charity" at the
rate Of Is cents per hour.

 Then I hope to God they show it by paying their debts," Britten replied.
 The earlier remarks in the com- mittee were prompted when Mac kenZie Kennedy, British subject now residing in the United States, attempted to get the committee to listen to an explanation of his charts showing that U. s. air forces are far below those of other na- tions. Kennedy interrupted the committee twice in efforts to get a hearing.
 Rep. W. D. McFarlane. d., Tex, said the recent investigation of naval aeronautical purchases had been a whitewash in which evil dence was suppressed
 There has been altogether too much tampering with our legisla- ton by the British and French, :" Britten complained.
