COUNTY SEEKS
new LAWSON
REAL ESTATE

ROCKVILLE. Md, July GA
Statewide legislative program to
be presented to the 1887 session
of the Maryland legislature, will
be formulated during a meeting
OF the County Commissioners AS
ISOLATION Of the Western Shore
Of Maryland to be held in Fred.
erick, Md, today.
County Commissioner Paul M.
Coughlan, Of Montgomery county,
as spokesman for the local dele
cation, will urge the delegates
from the other IL counties in
cluded In the association, to join
in with Montgomery county in
seeking general reaSsesSment of
ell real estate throughout the
State, he said today.
Two-Year Debate
Commissioner Coughlan de-
clared that for two years resi-
dents Of this county, as well as
Of others throughout the State.
have been clamoring for an equal.
ization Of real estate assessments.
A general reassessment would
provide an equalization as we'll as
place several additional thou
sands Of dollars on the county's
assessment books, he said.
In addition the. commissioner
will seek aid in having legislation
enacted which will provide a new
basis for allocating the lateral
gasoline road tax to the various
counties Of the State. and a re-
turn of maintenance of county
roads to the various counties.
At present this work is carried
out by the Maryland State Roads
Commission, he pointed out.
The State gasoline road tax is
now allocated to the counties &C.
cording to the number Of miles
Of lateral highway they had in
1910, Coughlan said, which he felt
was unfair and Unjust.
Although Coughlan predicted it
would be an easy matter to secure
the assistance of the Western
Shore counties in obtaining the
gas legislation, such a move will
meet with bitter opposition from
the counties on the Eastern Shore
Of Maryland.
AS the reason for this opposi-
ton, Coughlan pointed out that
during the past 26 years many
miles of the lateral highways in
the Western Shore counties have
been improved and taken over
by the State Roads Commission
for which the counties receive no
gas tax ALLEGATION. Road improve
ments on the Eastern Shore have
progressed at a much slower rate,
he said.
Eastern Shore Aided
For this reason, according to
the commissioner, the Eastern
Shore counties now receive more
gas tax funds than is rightfully
their share. He advocates an
ALLEGATION made either on the
number Of automobiles registered
In the counties, or on the number
Of miles of improved" lateral
highways In the county.
Montgomery county's delegation
may also ask the assistance of
their fellow delegates in having
the Montgomery county police
regulations incorporated in one
bill, with d provision which would
authorize an increase in the pay
Of patrollnen and officers.
Privates now receive from 81, 900
to $1,000 per year, while sergeants
are eligible for salaries ranging
from $1,000 to $4,000 per year.
County authorities desire this
raised to provide payment of
from $1,000 to $2,100 per year
for privateS and from $4,000 to
$2,40O per year for sergeants,
Coughlan said.
