timely message. His main theme was
that of the great work the farm or

E. Brooke Lee Quits As Party
Leader In Montgomery County
Organization Head Says Competent Men Are Available
To Carry On-Desgnates Stedman Prescott AS
Titular Head Of Democrats Campaign
Committees Are Named

After well over a decade devoted to
the Democratic party in Montgomery
County, E. Brooke Lee, organization
chief has expressed his desires to step
down and devote his entire time to
business. In relinquishing his grasp on
Democratic organization affairs in this
county, Maj. Lee has signifed his
choice of a successor by figuratively
placing the toga on the shoulders OF
Stedman (Nippy) Prescott, States
Attorney and one of the most promi-
nent men in Montgomery County
political life today.
Although Mr.. Prescott has not yet
announced his stand for 1884, it is
believed that he will run on the orga-
nization ticket for State Senator and
is generally believed to be the strong
est man available on the organization
ticket the coming Fall.
Maj. Lee explained that since his
election as State comptroller in 1919
he had become more and more active
in the Democratic organization, and
had devoted practically rs per cent d
his time to the requirements Of the
organization.
He declared it was no longer, pos.
sible for him to give that time, and
that entirely competent" men ant
women are available and, in his opin
ion, should undertake the responsible
ity now.
Maj. Lee said the organization nov
is in position to carry the Democratic
county and State candidates through
1884 and subsequent elections.
Maj. Lee made his announcement
at meeting of the advisory commit
tee of the County Democratic Organi.
cation Monday night at Rockville, but
the public announcement was moi
made until Tuesday night. He told the
meeting he proposed to support the
county and State candidates in the
Silver Spring communities, where he
will be working.
He then figuratively placed the toga
on the shoulders of States Attorney
Stedman Prescott, whom he urged as
county chairman of the various COM
mittees.
]. Curtis Walker, president of the
Democratic Club of Chevy Chase, was
elected recording secretary. Miss
Lavinia Engle, who recently resigned
as county commissioner, was elected
corresponding secretary. Lacy Shaw,
commissioner in charge of park de-
velopment and president of the Coles
vile District Democratic Club, was
elected treasurer.
The following campaign committees
were named:

Lamar Proposes
Charter System
OF Government
Resolution Is Referred To Civic
Federation Committee On
Legislation

George H. Lamar, Rockville attor-
ney, introduced at the January SEES
sion of the Montgomery County Civic
Federation resolution proposing a
charter form of government for Mont
gomery County The resolution, which
follows, was referred to the commit
tee on legislation and legal action:
Whereas, Montgomery County,
with its rapidly growing population,
diversified interests, large basis of
taxation, and annual tax levy of more
than a million dollars, is without a
local executive head with legal author
ity to act as such; and
Whereas, All local laws for Mont
gomery County have been and must
be enacted by the General Assembly
of the State, which meets biennially
and is composed of Senators and
members of the House of Delegates
elected for four years; and.
Whereas, By Chapter 416 of the
Acts of 1914, with the unanimous
vote of the delegation in the General
Assembly from Montgomery County
and with the approval of the then
Governor Goldsborough, there was
proposed, and on November 2, 1915,
ratified by direct vote of the elector-
ate of Maryland, what is now known
as Article XIV of the Maryland Con-
stitution, whereunder it is within the
power of the electorate of any County
in the State to so modify its own form
of local government as to provide for
the election of its own County chief
executive and members Of its own
local legislative body, for the enact
ment Of local Legislation Of a charact-
er authorized under the charter to be
prepared and proposed by its own
charter commission and adopted by its
own electorate; and il
Whereas, BY report of the Legisla-
ton and Legal Action Committee Of
the Federation, as adopted in 1880
the result of its investigation of the
procedure required was set out and a
study of the subject was recommended
"Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved
By The Civic Federation of Montgom-
cry County, that it favors the cleo
ton at the General Election of 1884
of a Charter Board, to be composed
of five representative citizens to be
nominated agreeably to the law, as
the first step in the framing and ulti-
mate adoption of charter form Of
government for Montgomery County
under, and agreeably to, the Home
Rule amendment Of the State Consti-
tuition"

Sandy Spring Banks
Set Unusual Record

Depression, or no depression, the
Savings Institution of Sandy
Spring and the First National
Bank, also of that place, have an
unusual record of which they may
well be proud. The Savings Insti-
tuition, according to Frederick L.
Thomas, president, paid its interest
on deposits at the rate Of 40 per
annum, while the First National
Bank paid it's usual dividend on
stock for 1888 at the rate of IL per
cent per annum.
Mr.. Thomas and other officials Of
the two banks believe that this is
something Of a record when it is
realized that neither bank has re-
duced its capital, surplus or un-
divided profits during the depres-
sion years and has not reduced in
terest rates, dividend rates or
salaries.

Will Begin Work
On Eight Projects
About February |
Employees Will Be Drawn From
Other Undertakings Already
Under Way

Work will start around February /
on eight CWA projects approved some
time ago but held up because the
county's quota has been engaged in
other undertakings. According to
Stephen Cromwell, office manager of
the county Civil Works Administra-
ton, the men to be employed on these
new jobs will be drawn from tasks
nearly completed or scheduled to be
finished shortly.
The eight new items are the i'm
provement of Vassar Circle play
ground, Glen Echo; construction work
and improvements at Kensington
playground, improvement Of Grosven-
ors lane at Rockville pike, improve
ment of Lay Hill-Brookeville road, ex-
tension of Perry street in Rockville,
construction of Duties road from
Jamestown, extension OF McComas
avenue at Kensington Heights and inn
provements along the Seven Locks
road.
1t was announced that the construc-
ton of a stone base along De Selum
avenue in Gaithersburg would be ex-
tended, due to an erroneous estimate
of the time required to complete the
task. .S--~-
It was voted by the Welfare Board,
which serves as the c. w. AS admin
istrative body in the county, to spon-
sor class in first aid work so that
any worker injured while engaged on
a public project may receive emergen-
cy treatment on the scene of the mis-
hap.
Mayor Alfred L. Geiger of Kensing-
ton, president of the Kensington Fire
Department and an expert in first aid
work, will instruct the class, which is
to be composed of one member of
each C. w. A. gang in the county.
Classes started last night at 6
o'clock in the old courthouse at Rock
vile and will be held three nights each
week.
Informal applications were made
for the development of public play
ground at St. Martins parochial
school in Gaithersburg, and for inter-
Tor painting at the Montgomery
County General Hospital, Sandy
Spring, and it was announced that
they would be acted upon as soon as
definite applications are filed.
1t was said also that number of
residents of Takoma Park and Pooles-
vile have asked c. w. A. officials to
carry out projects in those commune
ties and have been informed to pre-
pare their programs and submit them
to the board for action.
