Debt Extension To
Be Sought By The
Co. Commissioners
State Legislature This Coming
Session Will Be Asked To
Approve Move

Refunding of all bonds maturing
during the two-year period begin
ming July /, 1887, will be recon-
mended to the Legislature under a
program by the Montgomery County
commissioners at special meeting in
Rockville.
Approximately 100000 will fall
due on the principal of outstanding
bond issues during the two years, and
with county bonds now selling at a
lower rate of interest than issues still
outstanding, it was decided to seek
authority to refnance them when the
Legislature convenes in January.
The interest on bonds falling due
during the two fiscal years will be
paid for out of general receipts of the
county, however, for the board will
seek no authority to refund those
items.
The commissioners likewise voted
to recommend the maintenance of
lateral roads be returned from the
State roads commission to the coun-
ties and to urge that no action be
taken in the Legislature to forestall
the general reassessment of real
property due next year.
Both proposals have been advocated
by the County Commissioners Asso-
citation for the Western Shore of
Maryland and the Montgomery board
voted some time ago to support them.
In addition, the board voted to seek
authority for the issuance of tax-sale
certificates which would enable the
county treasurer to set up system
whereby purchasers of property could
instantly determine the amount Of
taxes outstanding against the land
they desire to buy, as well as all
assessment sagainst the property.
The law would require that all
deeds placed on record in the county
be accompanied by tax sale certif-
cate showing the exact condition of
the property with respect to taxes.
The certificate would be sold by the
county treasurer for So each.

Health Department
Issues Report For
Month OF October
Usual Increase In Scarlet Fever
And Diphtheria Noted But
Not Serious

The following report for the month
of October has been reported by DR..
v. L. Ellicott. county health officer;
The usual increase in scarlet fever
and diphtheria occurred during tn lie
month. The increase in diphtheria
was very slight and that of scarlet
fever moving up from 6 in Septem-
Der to 9 cases in October. It is
hoped that the increasing use of tox-
old will reduce the future diphtheria
rate much further.
A sharp increase in typhoid fever
occurred at the end of the month,
thus upsetting three year low prev
|alence of that disease. The cases this
year were usually severe as shown
by three deaths among approximate
ly 8 cases. In one small community
where several cases occurred, all the
inhabitants are being given typhoid
NEGOTIATIONS by the Health Depart
ment.
The dental clinic is now providing
a very valuable service, operating
four days a week. During October
124 school children from various
parts of the county were treated.
Approximately 5000 envelopes of
Christmas Seals are being prepared
for mailing for the Montgomery
County Branch of the Maryland Tu-
berculosis Association. Volunteers
are giving valuable assistance.
The Health Department is cooper
ating with the Education Department
in the improvement of hand pumps
at small schools. A special sanitary
base is being Installed to prevent
leakage in the casing pipes of the
walls.
One of the Health Department
nurses, Mrs. Katherine G. johnson,
completed special course in public
health at the Eastern Health District
of Baltimore City, returning to Mont
gomery County October 26th.
Miss Hermine Badennoop, Advis-
DRY Nurse, visited the Rutherford
County Health Department to observe
the organization Of the public health
nursing work. This exceptionally
we'll administered health service is
being used as a model all over the
country.
AS authorized by the Board, l at
tended the annual meeting of the
American Public Health Association
in New Orleans October 20 to %.
The meetings of this association
show that splendid work in public
health is being done in many parts
of the country.

NEW YORK
AYby DAY
By O. Q. Mcintyre

NEW YORK, March 10.-Ihe dol
lar debacle has given New York
hotels and shops British and con-
tinental clientele they have never
enioyed before. Every incoming lin
er brings a large quota of shoppers
to take advantage of currency fav-
or that creates a saving for foreign
buyers.
Such trade is largely in the luxury
division-high priced dressmakers,
tailors. de luxe hotels and restaur-
ants. Never in the history of the
metropolis has il entertained so
many dukes, ducheSses, princes,
princesses and counts as it has this
winter.
The society page accounts of pub
lie dinners reads like a Monday
morning guest list of Maybelle Gill
man Corey Sunday night soiree at
the Paris Ritz. Five ultra hotels
have had to add to their French
speaking staffs of assistant man
ayers. And 9 o'clock dining is a
part of the new order.
The influx of tourist spenders
has naturally marked the town with
a lacquered pleasantness reminiscent
of Mayfair and the Place Vendome.
Especially is it pronounced at tea
time when tea rooms SO long desert
ed for the intimate bars are filled
again. And tea is actually drunk.

The shadowy chop suey restaur-
ants with their private booths, each
es for the clandestine, have had
tough going since fire swept like
flames in dry grass through one of
them, leaving eight dead and more
than a score injured recently A
searchlight of publicity was turned
on the inflammable hangings and
tinder box structure of a number.
And the human sacrifice may not
be in vain. They're being made
safer.

so aggravate the opportunity for ex-
tremes it is right that they should be

We cannot help but express an ad-
miration for the courage which dictated
the new ruling 1t is our understanding
that Mr.. Edgars district of southern
counties is the only one affected which
means that he has the courage to stand
forth and proclaim what he considers
just and right.
Great pressure will be brought to
bear on him; it probably is already in
full sway Not only from this and other
similar sized communities, but in even
greater force, from metropolitan Los
Angeles where his order has seriously
affected huge and famous institutions
such as the Cotton club. II takes courage
and a strong character 10 stand against
not only the operators and the syndi-
Gates behind them, but the thousands
who patronize such places.

benefit everyone. And the ruling will
bring much high commendation to Mr..

Reading Election Year
Memories

WASHINGTON. Many politicians have
"pasts1 which provide some good reading in
Both parties employ trained diggers to un-
earth the dirt.
For instance there are some of Roosevelts
utterances as governor of New York which you
might compare with some of his statements and
actions as president.
Anti-New Dealers have dug up plenty of
them, especially those concerning state rights and
federal encroachment government spending and
credit. And no end Of diggers, not forgetting Al
Smith, have eXhumed and busted off that hoary
CID document, the Democratic platform of 1882
It works both ways. OF course, and you would
have TO far to beat that trio of dggers fer the
Democratic national committee-Mr. Emil Hurja,
Mr. Charlie Nicholson, and Mr.. Eddie Roddan.
Voting records usually provide good pckings.
Thus, when Chairman Farley was going to make
speech in New England and discuss the charge
that F. D. R. had flagrantly violated the plat
form pledge to cut federal expenses #25 per cent,
his diggerS gave him munitions in the fact that
when Congress smashed the economy act over
the presidents veto six of the seven Republican
senators of New England had voted TO restore
full veterans benefits Such celebrated COP.
representatives as Mrs. Rogers, Treadway, and
Martin of Massachusetts had joined them.
Dossiers are beins compiled on the various
presidential candidates. Democratic plotters say
they have various quotations from Governor
LandCn of Kansas in which he endorsed large
gobs of the New Deal. They claim they can
embarrass him in eastern cities by dry speeches
OF his past. including such alleged remark
The blood of the W.C.TU. flows in my veins
although, Of course, a lot of us boys could say
that.
The best thing that can be said for all these
exhumations of lives of living politicians is that
they may displace the recent barrage of quota
ticns from Washington, jefferson, Jackson, and
Lincoln that has been hurled at us.
One of the things you can find in the rec
