COUNTY BOARD
To PUSH TAX
COLLECTION

ROCKVILLE, Md, April 10.
Efforts to collect personal property
taxes in Montgomery county more
efficiently will be inStigated with.
in the next few weeks. members
of the board of county commits
Sions decided yesterday.
Describing the taxes difficult to
collect since honesty of the citizen
is the sole guide in levying on the
property, the board declared Mont
gomery county, in recent years,
has not been getting even a
decent" share of what is should.
Method Undecided
What new method will be used
to assess personal property was
not decided. It was proposed to
send county police officers to
every home with printed forms to
be returned to the commissioners
with the amount of personal
property of every resident, regard
less whether he is owner of real
estate.
At present, despite the fact
the county might know of per
sonal property eligible for taxa
ton, it is necessary to enter suit
to collect unless the offender
owns real estate. If he is realty
owner, the property can be sold,
along with other delinquent prop
critics, to collect the personal
property tax.
Decision of the commissioners
to bear more heavily on enforce
ment was made in an effort to
relieve real estate owners who
otherwise are almost certain of
facing a materially increased tax
rate July /.
Deficit to Be Met
A huge deficit, necessitated by
maturing bond issues and in
creased operating expense, will
force an increase for the levy year
1886 of more than so per cent
over the present rate, it has been
indicated at previous meetings of
the board.
Attention was called by the
board that the sale of liquors,
wines and beer would be curtailed
Tuesday, April %, from midnight
to midnight to meet provisions of
the election laws. A special ref
erendum is being held in many
sections of the county on that
day on local option.

By VIM. E. MCKINNEY

By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary, American Bridge League Only 8 few slam hands occur during the average session of rub- Der bridge, but they often make the difference between a successful eve- ming and a disappointing one.
 When risky slam is reached by aggressive bidding and made by skillful play, it always provides a lot of inward satisfaction, but 1t shows more substantial reward on the score sheet.
 To-day's hand was played in a rubber game at the Cleveland Whist Club. It probably was not a sound slam bid for North and South, for 1t could be made only by a successful finesse and a we'll executed end play.
 This kind of playing, however, adds zest to the game and points to the score sheet, and it furnishes more excitement than dozen run of-n1ine hands.
 The Play
 After winning the first lead with the ace of spades, declarer saw that he must risk the heart flnesse to
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-23

make his contract, and he might as well do it at once. Fortunately, the finesse held, so he entered dummy with a diamond and finessed the hearts again. He then cashed his two high hearts, West discarding spade and a diamond.
 After leading another diamond to dummy, declarer returned to his own hand with 8 club and cashed the ace of diamonds. West was em- barrassed for a discard. He did not dare throw off club, so he had to drop the jack of spades.
 This gave declarer the tip-off, for West would not have sacrificed 8 good spade unless he had some thing in clubs which he was forced to protect.
 Accordingly a club was led to dummy's ace, and West was put into the lead with a spade at the ilth trick. He now had to lead away from the jack-eight of clubs, and declarer's queen-nine took the two remaining tricks.

 One group will work on the sub feet of school Administration" and the other division will con- slider the question of "Qld Age As- sistance." The program of the state league is to have each local league examine the needs of its own com munity with reference to these two topics. To accomplish the best re- suits \in these considerations all committees will be co-ordinated so that knowledge of the subjects will be attained from every angle of government.
 Miss Florence Kirlin, congress sional secretary of the National League of Women Voters and guest speaker at the meeting, commended the members of the local league on their active interest in government affairs. By continuing this interest Miss Kirlin said they would carry out the object of the league, which is to develop responsible participa- finr1 in Onvcrnmpnt"
 Miss Kirlin is well versed in leg islative technique, having charge of that part of league work in Wash ington. She explained just how the national headquarters attempts to obtain the passage of bills in con- gress to which the local and state leagues have given their major sup port. Sometimes, she stated, the "follow-up" goes right into the Presidents office, as in the case of the Social Securities Act, when Mrs. Harris T.
