FEDERATION
HITS PAY RISE
FOR POLICE

BETHESDA, Md, Dec. 1.-THE
proposal to increase the pay OF
Montgomery county police now be-
ing circulated among the civic
organizations Of the county, is ex-
pected to meet with opposition
during a meeting of the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation
here Monday night.
This opposition was predicted
here today when 1t was learned
that the executive and advisory
committee of the federation recon-
mended unfavorable action dur
ing a recent meeting. This is the
first move made against the pro-
posal Snce the Board of Mont
gomery County Commissioners I'M
officially approved the increase by
q three to two vote.
The committee gave as Its rea-
son for lack of sympathy with the
proposal the fact that it did not
feel that it would justify the con-
seouent higher taxes, since q very
substantial increase in the present
tax rate will be necessary next
year if maturing obligations are TO
be retired.
Debt Is Problem
It was cited that for several
years the county has not reduced
it's outstanding bonded debt, but
instead, as the bonds mature they
have been refunded. In addition
to this it is believed by committee
leaders that demands will be made
from other sources, particularly
schools, for substantial amounts
that will require additional tax
revenue.
One member of the committee
declared today: IF the county
cannot afford to retire its maturing
obligations and take care of cur
rent operating expenses at present,
it is unSound to add additional
burdens by way of salaries or per-
sonnet increases at this time"
Additions to the police personnel
0AAA ocSAGAAA So dS w
the County Police Association, can
only be effected by legislative
action, although the Board of
County Commissioners might raise
the pay of civilian clerks in the
department if it so desired.
Increases Listed
The association has requested
that the chiefs salary be raised
$500 per year, while all other
members of the force and desk
clerks would receive increases of
$500. In seeking the increases the
association cites the long working
hours of present county police
and inadequate leave and retire,
ment funds.
Other resolutions to be pre-.
sented to the federation by the
committee are: That the fedora
ton reaffirm it's stand favoring
abolition of the County Liquor
Control Board and that the boards
duties be vested in the county
commissioners.

ACCIDENTS ON FARMS

A campaign to reduce accidents t.
farmers and laborers in conducIin,
farm operations is proposed by Dl
T. B. Symons, director of the exteh
sion service. He points out tina
farming is a rather hazardous occu
patton and that most people do no
fully realize the toll of unnecessary
accidents.
It is his suggestion that survey
be made of the accidents which occu.
during a given period, the funda-
mental causes and a year-aroun-
safety program to be put into etfec,
throughout the state.
Such a campaign, DR.. Symons be
lieves, is in line with the efforts tina
are being made to reduce accident,
by automobiles, and it is his ids
that the Extension Service and III,
farm organizations should take tn
lead in carrying it out.

lew figures represented gain Oh
III per cent from 1894. and of 4
Jer cent from 1880 when the last

"If the increase should be con-
tnued at this rate until the end of

lation's population in 1910 would be
round 100000"
The total births between April l.,

allowance for under-registration, was

The number of persons leaving the

Business Week recently announce
that the electric power systems of th~
country plan capital expenditures O.
about $370,0OO,000 during 1880.
This money is going into plant ex
pansion and betterment. 1t will b.
used to bring the benefits of powel
to more homes and farms and t.
make service more economical an
efficient. Some business experts have
forecast that the industry may in
crease the budget before the year il
over, even though the program now
planned represents Sc per cent i'll
crease in spending over 1895.
Why is the power industry spend
ing this money? Because natlona-
power consumption touched an ali
time high record near the END of las,
year and will normally increase.
Surplus plant capacity must always
be developed to keep well ahead o.
future demand.
