CUT DUE JULY |

PERSONNEL
Director Street Says
us Must Go Under
New Budget

A slash of 40 per cent in the
Board of Public Welfare'S relief
division was recommended to the
District Commissioners today by
Welfare Director Elwood Street,
but action was deferred until the
return next week of Commission.
er George E. Allen, who is at
tending the Democratic conven-
ton in Philadelphia.
Director Street made the recon.
mendationS because of a curtail-
ment in the relief appropriation
for the fiscal year which begins
July l. He told the Commis-
sionerS it would be necessary to
slash 125 employees from the total
of 312 in the relief division in
order to operate after July l un-
der the new appropriations.
Fund Cut Nearly Half
The 1887 budget has an item of
ST, 100000 and provides that per
Sonnel service must not exceed
5000, 900. During the current fiscal
year personnel service cost ap-
proximateiy $395,000.
Mr.. Street said personnel service
costs are reduced approximately
100000 through Federal grants
for old age assistance, needy blind
assistance, mothers care and So
cial security, so that approx
mately $4,000 must be cut from
the personnel service of the relief
division.
He was unable to estimate just
how many employees would be
dropped, but indicated this would
be worked out within two weeks.
Veteran Relief Up
The Welfare Board at a meeting
this afternoon is expected to ap-
prove the recommendation of the
public assistance division commit
tee that World War veterans be
made to spend their bonus before
being given relief.
The relief division during the
fiscal year 1886 spent $2,350 900.
They carried two classes of clients,
some 10000 employableS and 5000
unemployables. When funds ran
out April l and it was impossible
to obtain a deficiency fund of
more than $350,000, the employ
ableS were dropped.
Mr.. Street said that as the re-
suit of old age pensions, needy
blind assistance and other social
security aids, the number of per-
sons on relief has been cut down
to 5,100.

over the opinion expressed Sunday
on the Blanton QUESTIONABLE by
members of the Federation of

Henry Gilligan, who has always
bitterly opposed Representative
Blanton's arbitrary demands for
information on teachers and
schools, said:
81 think the answers suffice
to show the average delegate
is pretty we'll convinced there
is no Communism in the schools.
If the delegates were given a
real chance to express their
actual convictions, they would

COUNTY BOARD
SIGNS LEVY
F0RBUDGET
Montgomery He a d S
Provide for Expenses
For Year

ROCKVILLE, Md, June 23.-An
annual budget setting forth ex.
penditures in Montgomery county
for the fiscal year beginning July
at $2,460,416 was signed by five
members of the board Of county
commissioners during a meeting
here today.
This was in contrast to last
years when two Democratic mem.
bers of the board, Robert D. Hag-
ner and Richard S. LanSdale, re
fused to sign the levy and budget
because the tax rate was increased
from 80 cents to $3.50 for each
$100 assessment. This, they de.
clared at that time, was excessive.
Appropriations Lower
Although the present tax rates
of $3.50 will prevail throughout
the coming year, the Commission
erS point out that appropriations
have been reduced this year by
$896,000. This reduction, they
said, was made possible through
decrease in contemplated sale
of county bond issues during the
coming year.
Bond issues during 1885, the
Commissioners explained, totaled
$1,612,500, while this year this
figure is estimated at $537 900.
A widespread building boom dur
ing the past year was credited by
the Commissioners with increas-
ing the aSSeSSable basis Of the
county from $104,113,000 to SILL
527,O37.
Several reductions in contem-
plated appropriations to various
county departments were made by
the Commissioners this morning
before the budget was finally
adopted.
Schools Cost More
Although the appropriation for
schools was voluntarily reduced
by DR.. Edwin w. Broome, super
intendent of county schools, by ap-
proximately $4,000, the school ap-
preparation still showed an in
crease of $63,519 over last year.
Last years appropriation was
$605, ,691.
Earmarked funds, showed an in
crease of $95.00O over last year,
which brought the total figure to
1887 ,979 in anticipation of greater
State and Federal aid in carrying
on relief work.
Besides the $1.50 levy on real
and personal property, residents in
the Washington suburban areas
are also required to pay special
area taxes, such as sanitary, fire,
road and suburban district taxes.
This, in some instances, brings the
total levy in these special areas to
nearly $3.50.

Max SchmeIing's crushing de-
feat of the alleged Superman,
Joe Louis. And no wonder!
From the fourth round on there
were so many German gloves
in JOe'S mouth that he was the
one speaking broken English.
For a fellow that was only
supposed to have one good
hand, Max surely kept as busy
as a One-arm swing band at a
dance marathon.
And, from all accounts, that
final blow in the twelfth round
certainly must have had some
power behind it. 1t not only
knocked Joe out, but also gave
most every critic in the country

COL. HILL
Other Speakers Plead
For Peace and Unity in
Suppressing War

A building boom in the United

surprising anything the world has
seen during the last 100 years,
was confidently predicted today
by Col. T. Russ Hill, of Toledo,
Ohio, in an address before a

Envisioning 250-mile-an-hour lo-
comotives, with every entertain.
ment feature now provided on
steamships, entire replacement Of
the telephone by television and
automatic transmission, and IL.
width highways laid upon struc-
lures of metal, Colonel Hill held
the rapt attention of his audience
as he asserted that "only a sucker
will stand still and wall about the
future of this country"
In addresses during the regular
session of the KiWanis convention
today pleas were made for unity
in the suppression of wars and for
campaigns designed to bring about
more abundant peace on earth
and good will toward men," while
at the ladyShip luncheon, Mrs.

about better cooperation between
the nations.

walks of life.

pass anything seen in the last
100 years.
"In the last 100 years there
have been 100 major inventions
