ASKED FOR NEARBY
Bill One of Six introduced by
Prescott for Planning
Commission.
By a STAFF CORRESPONDENT of The Star.

BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS. March 15.-Prohibi-
tion of the sale of liquor in residen-
tial areas of Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties and enlargement of
the metropolitan area of the former
county were among the objectives of
six bills introduced yesterday by Sen
ator Stedman Prescott of Montgomery
County at the request of the Mary
land-National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
In the House the only measure
offered by delegates from Washing
tons neighboring counties was a re-
pealer of Montgomery's anti-trapping
law. Sponsored by T. Yellott Candy.
delegation chairman. it would again
permit the use Of steel traps in the
county.
The measure under which it is
hoped to ban the sale of liquor in
residential sections of the metropoli-
tan area of the two counties pro-
vides that no license shall be issued
by any board. commission or public
official for any commercial or indus
trial purpose in a residential zone
1t was explained that, although at
least one liquor establishment has
been licensed in residential COM
munity of Prince Georges County,
the bill cannot be made retroactive
and is intended primarily to prevent
such a happening in Montgomery
County.
The proposed extension of the
metropolitan district in Montgomery
County would include all of the re-
naming area of Rockville election
district which lies east of the Wash
ington- Georgetown road and south of
the boundary line of the town of
Rockville and the observation-disclosures

RECORD CROWDS
JAM TAX OFFICE
Long Lines Held Greatest
by Deputy Collector
Since 1917.

Records we're falling at the In
ternal Revenue Bureau today as
thousands Of Government employees
and others jammed room 1902 in a
last minute rush to pay their 1884
income taxes
w. P. Burdine, deputy collector
who has been watching zero-hour
ruShes for the past 81 years and
who is counting the taxpayers as they
file into the room, said that not since
1917 had such long line Of tax
payers been seen in the Office on the
last day for filing.
Open to Midnight.
In order to clean up the work of
receiving the late comers and as
convenience to the public, the Office
will remain open until midnight, it
was announced. Heretofore the Office
has been closed at pm.
At IL am. more than $500 persons
mad passed along the line to the CASH
iers window and out. One woman got
no further than the door. She had
her blanks all in order. showing she
had a total income of 1857 during
l934-and she has four children and
is a widow!
Failure to Be Costly.
1t will be costly to persons who for
got or deliberately fail to file their

DRIVE
GETSUNDER WAY
Volunteer Workers Hope to
Raise 100000 Fund in
To-Day Campaign.

The National Symphony Orchestra's
drive for a 100000 sustaining fund
formally got under way today.
From headquarters in the Carlton
Hotel 500 volunteer workers were as
signed to various sections Of the city
by committee heads to contact persons
interested in aiding the campaign and
to enlist new supporters.
Solicitation of funds will continue:
for 10 days, the drive being slated to
close March 25.
In an opening plea to civic groups
to help make the campaign a success.
DR.. William Mcclellan, chairman of
the Mems Committee, addressed the
Kiwanis Club yesterday.
Anything that makes for a greater
National Capital ought to be encour-
aged" he said. An increasing num-
ber of people of refinement and means
who have retired from business are
making Washington their home. Put
ting the orchestra in position to
visit other cities will have great ad-
vertising value for Washington. For
the city the National Symphony is a
cultural, educational, entertaining.
festive and wholesome activity that
deserves general support. We should
show DR.. Hans Kinder and his artists
that we appreciate their efforts and
intend to support them"
Besides DR.. McClellan's group, other
Central Committees are the Metro
politan, National, Suburban, Business,
Army, Navy, Government, Educational
and Associations
With the 500, 900 and increased-boA
office receipts, the National Symphony
Orchestra Association will be able to
pay the musicians living wage and
so insure the future stability OF the
orchestra.
The sustaining fund also will make
possible more concerts in Constitution
Hall next Winter, greater number OF
childrens concerts and series of out
door Summer concerts to be played
on a barge anchored offshore N the
Potomac at the water gate near Ar
lington Memorial Bridge.
The fund is $4,000 more than
has been raised in other years for
support Of the National Symphony,
but it is much less than the sum
given for the operation of symphonies
in other large cities. Campaign OIL
cials pointed out that last year the
Boston Symphony required a budget
of $500, 1000, the Philadelphia Orches-
ira, $5OO,000, and the New York
Philharmonic, $686,000. In Pitts
burgh, which has slightly larger
population than the Capital, the SYM
phony required budget of 100000,
but gave only concerts, compared
with the National Symphony's 30.
1t is proposed to build the orches-
ira up to full strength with ITO pieces.
At present the symphony is composed
of 80 players, who are paid far less
than musicians in other cities and
are forced to take odd jobs during
the off-season to make living.

$4,000 Appropriated.

| Congress last year appropriated
| S120,000 for service sewer extensions,
needed to serve newly built homes.
For this work the abutting property
| owners pay assessments of Sl50 a
front foot.
The District has other appropri-
ationS for sewer main construction
and the law permits transfers from
this fund up to Is per cent, where
conditions warrant, but the Sewer
! Department needs are such that this
is not possible this year, officials say.
These other appropriations are all
justified before Congress by show
ing of needs for the large sewers pro-
gram.
The result of the current situation
is that unless the prospective home
builder can pay the whole cost of
the service sewer extensions needed
for lateral connections to his house
the applications must be laid aside,
according to John Blake Gordon, san
itary engineer.
In some cases home building con-
Germs put up the whole cost, but in
oASlA NdSCS ~ 10 IllC 4OI IllC CAIl a
cost to be added to the sale price of
the house, officials say.
More Funds Required.
Estimating the need from current
indications, officials figure an appro-
priation of between S25O,00O and
100000 instead of $4,000 would
have been required to take care of
the service sewer applications this
fiscal year, under the assessment and
permit plan.
Fears are held that similar situa-
ton will prevail again next year. The
1886 District budget bill. as passed by
the House, provided $150,00O for this
type of work in the next fiscal year,
beginning next July /.
In 1929, the appropriation was
S410,00O; in 1880. $4,000; in 1881,
s285,O00; 1882, $15O,00O;, 1888, $780,
90. and 1884, $4,000.
Private building operations have
been on the increase in the past year,
as anticipated. There was big squirt
in the first six months of the present
fiscal year, when the cost of residential
construction was boosted 1T per cent
over the total for the similar period
of last year.
Bears Out Forecast.
This bears out the forecast of off,
cials last year when they argued that
home building would be stimulated
by reduction of the cost of sewer as
sessments from SO to $3.50 per front
foot against abutting property owners.
The reduction went into effect last
July. The increase in the appropria-
tion. from $4,000 to $150,000, how
ever, has proved insufficient to meet
increased demands for mains to serve
new homes
The assessment to the property
owners was cut because it was found
in many cases that the old rate for
sewer facilities, plus the So a foot
assessment for water main amounted
to as much as the value of the lot,
officials recall.

FUND LACK DELAYS
SEWER PROJECTS
Prospective Home Builder
Must Pay Whole Cost
of Extensions.

Sewer construction projects valued
at $4,000. which would have pro-
vided many days of work for unem-
ployed construction labor have been
pigeon -holed since January because
of exhaustion of the District sppro-
priation for this fiscal year for the
purpose, it developed today.
Although, roughly, half the cost of
service sewer work under the assess
ment and permit plan is reclaimed
from property owners, the District has
been forced to lay aside this amount
of such work and the total will be
increased as the Spring house build
ing season passes.
