Commissioner Hagner informed the
board that three property owners who
pay large taxes every year had in

laboratory is built.
The property owners, Merle Thorpe,

Police Nab Six
For Robbery At
Thomas Co. Store
Gaithersburg Theft Said To Be
Solved With Arrest Of
Baltimore Group

Four men and two women are in
custody at police headquarters in
Rockville in connection with the rob-
berry Saturday morning of the
Thomas & Co. store in Gaithersburg.
The six were arrested after a
Baltimore policeman became sus-
|picious upon seeing the group carry
ing articles alleged to have been loot
from the store into house on West
Baltimore Street, Baltimore.
The policeman blew his whistle to
halt the group for questioning. Three
of the men climbed into a car and
escaped.
Melvin Miller, at whose home the
arrests occurred, and the two wom-
en-, Catherine Evans and Bessie
Myers, were brought to Rockville
They denied having had any part in
the robbery, but admitted they had
some of the property in their pos
session, police said.
Edward Davis, who had been re-
leased December 18 from the Mary
land Penitentiary, where he served
term for robbery ond forgery, was
arrested a short time later. The
other two men, Thomas Murray and
Charles Lynch, were captured Mon
day.
The loot, valued at $400, included
shotguns and ammunition, type
writer and electrical equipment. The
typewriter was found on a vacant
lot in Baltimore, where it had beer
thrown in the flight, police said.

Farmers To Fight
Return OF Taxes,
Nuttle Declares
Consumer Has Paid Tax And
Professor Has No Just Claim"
1t Is Alleged

Organized farmers of Maryland
will join those of other states in Wig
orous opposition to the return of pro-
cessing taxes, in the opinion of Harry
H. Nuttle, president of the Maryland
Farm Bureau Federation. Mr.. Nuttle
called attention to the resolution
against the return of processing
taxes at the recent annual meeting Of
the Federation as indicative of the
sentiment of the states farmers.
"The situation resulting from the
Supreme Courts decision in regard
to these taxes seems strange to farm
ers and consumers alike" says Mr..
Nuttle. "For many months retailers
have been telling consumers that the
reason for higher prices charged on
meats, bread, and other food stufFs
was accounted for by the processing
taxes. Now, with processing taxes re-
moved there is little change in retail
prices, and the professor, in some
cases, seems ready to swear that he
was paying the taxes all the time. It
is our belief that the consumer has,
in most instances, paid the tax, and .
return of the tax to the professor
would mean that the same consumer,
as tax payer, would have to pay
the tax all over again"
The statement of the larger meat
packing companies showed a larger
profit in 1895 than in any other re-
cent year, despite processing taxes
which were supposed to be q handi-
cap to the business, according to Mr..
Nuttle. While interested in . work
able substitute for the AAA program,
farmers win not be too much inter-
ested in the program to ignore other
situations created by the Supreme
Courts decision, he believes.

Gas Rates Reduced
In This County; In
Effect February /
Agreement Reached Between
Utility And Public Service
Commission

Agreement has been reached be-
tween the Public Service Commission
and the management of the Wash
ington Gas Light Company of Mont
gomery County, Maryland, and the
Georgetown Gas Light Company OF
Montgomery County, Maryland,
whereby the rates charged the GUS
toners of these two companies, both
of which supply service in Montgom-
cry and Prince Georges counties,
will be reduced, effective February
LIST.
Under the new rate schedule which
have today been filed with the COM
mission the yearly charges to the
consumers will be $4,000, Tor about
10.94o) less than under the existing
schedules, which amount will permit
the absorption of the temporary dis
count of 81s96 which was estab-
lished sometime ago and will pro-
vide a further reduction, over and
above the 812% discount, Of some
thing more than Sill 900 per annun.
The customers already have been re-
ceiving the benefit of the discount,
so that the additional reduction in
charges which they now will receive
as result of the agreement will be
about $1,000.
The lower rates will apply to both
domestic and commercial services and
customers using gas for house heat
ing will also share in the reduction.
The Commission had instituted an
investigation of the rates of these
two companies, which are subsidi-.
aries of the Washington gas conn
panies, and, following the establish
ment of lower charges for the serv-
ice of the parent companies in the
District of Columbia, the Commits
sion entered into informal negotia-
lions with the Maryland companies
in the hope that thereby a satisfac-
tory adjustment of the rates might
more promptly be obtained.
Certain of the civic organizations
in the sections served by the COM
panies co-operated in the informal
negotiations and some of their repre-
sentatives have conferred with the
Commission from time to time dur
ing the course of the negotiations.

seer, president of the State Senate.
Installation of the teletype system
figured largely in the plans for CO.

on 24-hour duty, would cost abou
$65, 900 a year. Authority for it's in
stallation may be sought from the
Legislature in March.

Plans For Development Of Rockville
Union Cemetery Definitely Under Way
Work On Project To Start This Coming Spring Under
Supervision Of Philadelphia Architect Perpetual
Care Fund Established For Old Cemetery

At recent meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Rockville Gene
terry Association plans were started
to develop and sell burial lots in the
addional land purchased from Mr..
and Mrs. William D. Clark and con-
tanning about 18 acres.
The land formerly owned by this
association has been entirely disposed
of and the demand for burial sites
by local people necessitated the pur-
chase of the additional land.
This association is not operated
for profit but for the accommodation
of residents of Montgomery County
only. However, when the first sec
ton of the addition is placed upon
the market, sales will be made to
non-residents for limited time only,
so that sufficient funds may be OBJ
tanned to pay for the development.
The Rockville Union Cemetery is
one of the oldest in this County.
It is located on the north side of the
Rockville-Norbeck Road and about
one mile east of Rockville. On the
south side of the same road is the
new st. Mary's cemetery of this
county.
Robert B. Cridland, landscape
architect, of Philadelphia, Pa, has
been engaged to prepare plans for
and supervise the work of laying out
the new addition, and M. G. Copelin,
of Rock Creek Nurseries, is advising
with the Board of Directors in this
much needed additional project to
our community. Work is expected to
begin this coming spring.
The Board of Directors has estab-
lished a Perpetual Care Fund for
lots in the present or old part Of
over S15,OO0.00 at this time. The
income for this fund covers the ex-
penses of the perpetual care Of the
lots of those persons who have con-

tributed thereto. The charge fol-
such care is $4,000 for a lot 10 by
20 feet, and $500 for lot 20 by 20
feet.
Lots sold in the new section will
be 10 by 20 feet, sufficient for six
interments, and the price will be
about $4,000, of which $4,000 will
be placed in the Perpetual Care
Fund for continuous care of the lot,
and the remaining $4,000 will be
used to pay for the land, develop
ment and general expenses of the
association.
After sufficient lots have been
sold to realize sufficient money to
pay for the land and develop the
same, the sale of lots to non-resi-
dents will be withdrawn and the re-
mainder of the land reserved for
sale to residents of this County.
The Board of Directors believes
that here is an excellent oppor-
tunity for some of our people to
invest their surplus funds to be
used for the proposed development, "
and to that end a loan to the asso-
citation by local people only win be
welcomed, the association giving it's
promissory note covering such loan,
bearing $50 interest, and the whole
to be repaid when sufficient funds
are on hand.
Traffic in the sale of lots in this
cemetery is not permitted, as only
the right of interment is sold, the
fee simple title to the land being
always retained by the association.
The present Board Of Directors is
composed Of the following men Of
this town: William F. Prettyman,
President; Clifford H. Robertson,
Secretary Treasurer; George P. Hen
derson, Albert M. Bouic, F. Bache
