Members Of the Hyattsville
town council were assured last
night that check for $4,411 was
to be mailed today by the Mary.

at a meeting of the Montgomery

gas tax differences between
Washington and nearby areas.

SCHOOL LEVY
Peery Would Guarantee g.
Month Term With Additional
State Revenues
BY JOHN E. TAYLOR
Timea Staff COrreanOndent

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 13.-
Governor George c. Peery last
night appeared before the joint
house and senate finance COM
mittees and pleaded with the
members to "help me cary out my
campaign promises"
He wants to create new taxes
amounting to nearly $1,000,000 in
order to guarantee a minimum
eight-months school term.
Would Partially Restore Pay
School financing must be put
on sound foundation, Governor
Peery declared, saying his plan
would eliminate IS per cent of the
teachers pay cut and would mean
a State paid teacher salary Of
$3.50 to which the communities
are supposed to add.
He recounted the sources from
which he proposes that the mil
lion dollars shall be obtained.
The first is the income tax,
which would mean singlue per-
son earning $1,000 would pay a
tax of $3.75 annually, and a
married person earning $4,000
would pay tax of $12. Per-
sons with such fixed incomes
are the favored class" Governor
Peery remarked.
Other Sources Tapped
The second is the merchants
licenses, which he described as
an adjustment" of the existing
tax laws calling for tax on pur-
chases. The Peery plan is in
effect a sales tax.
The other sources he proposes
to tap are the inheritance tax
laws, lowering the exemptions,
and taxes on light and power
companies in order to bring Vir-
ginia's taxation up to about that
of other States"
Governor Peery was followed by
C. H. Morrisett, State tax COM
missioner, who said "the income
tax is the only fair and reason
able" form of taxation. He added
little of the tax code of Virginia
is changed under the Peery plan.
