COUNTY SEEKS
ROAD FUNDS
FOR YEAR

ROCKVILLE, Md, Nov. 6.-The
question of highway maintenance
in Montgomery county during the
current fiscal year will be dis
cussed during a conference be-
tween the county commissioners
and the Maryland State roads
commission at Baltimore Monday.
Since the county allegedly over
drew it's State gasoline road tax
fund with the roads commission
nearly two years ago, eXpend-
itureS for maintenance in the
county have been kept at a min
imum. Although the fiscal year
began October /, the commits
sioners declare they have received
no word from the State as to the
amount to be spent on county
roads during this year.
With the county's account al
legedly in the "red" approximate
ly $247, 900, the roads commission
retains a portion of the countys
share of the gas tax funds for
applying on the deficit. Although
Montgomery's share of this fund
is about 100000 per year only
$55,000 was spent in the county
last year.
James C. Christopher, deputy
clerk to the commissioners, re-
signed yesterday to enter private
law practice in Bethesda, Md.
Samuel E. Bogley, son of Emory
H. Bogley, member of the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission, was appointed his sue
ceSSor.
The Commissioners n a m d
Harry Hoskinson, of Gathers
burg, Md, a member of the Mont
gomery County Welfare Board to
fill a vacancy caused by the
resignation of Judge r. Granville
Curry, of Battery Park.
Action on the proposed recon-
ing of land adjacent to the new
overhead bridge at KenSington,
Md, was deferred until next week.
Originally zoned residential, upon
receiving a petition for rezoning
the area to commercial several
month ago, the commissioners
granted the change. Since that
time local residents and the
mayor and town council of Ken
sington have petitioned the COM
missioners and the Maryland Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission IN reZOne the land to
residential.

Six Kittens Get
Indian office
Party

Six kittens were given a birth
day party yesterday by employees
of the Indian Office, Department
Of the Interior, and there we're
six tiny cakes with candles, cat
nip mice, salmon and milk, and
even a bag of marbles for the
kittens to chase.
The kittens were exactly one
month old yesterday. The cele-
bration was also held as sort Of
farewell party, because now the
kittens are all old enough to be
taken from their mother and they
will be given to persons offering
them good homes. The kittens are
the offspring of "PanSy" $50
called because she is of several
different color0, who has been
the pet around the Indian Office
for about year and half.
There are two black and white
kittens, two tigers, one all grey,
and one like its mother. They
are being kept in the basement Of
the Indian Office, which is located
in the Hurley Wright Building,

A wealth of good looks and per-
Sonality, in addition to her out
standing work in her sorority, has

Seventh st. N. W., one of the most
prominent goods on the George
Washington University campus.
A graduate of the Sacred Heart
Academy, Miss Gilbert will receive
her degree at George Washington

served as a sorority representative
on the coed intermural board for
two terms.
Miss Gilbert has not yet decided
on what she wants to do after she
graduates. She may take up the
teaching of English, but there is a
possibility that she may continue
at George Washington to obtain a
master degree in the course.

SPRING FLOOD
SEEN UNLIKELY
NEXT YEAR

Repetition Of last springs flood
loomed less probable here today
with the announcement from the
office of the United States Army
engineers that its survey of the
Potomac waterShed-with the ex,
ception of the District of Colum.
bia-has beeen virtually com.
pleted.
The survey-including data on
rainfall, Snow-meltS, rate of
water flow and Weather-has
been conducted for the last month
IN areas adjacent to the Poto-
macs muddy waters. Beginning
in Paw Paw, w. Va. the Army
engineers have heard the tcSti-
mony of business men and civic
leaders from Hancock, Cumber-
land, Luke and Frederick, Md,
and from Petersburg, w. Va, and
Strausburg, Va.
Its findings, to be completed
after Washingtonians have filed
their complaints against The Po-
tomac at a public hearing which
will be held here soon, will be
forwarded to Congress. There an
application for funds to carry out
the proposals recommended will
be made
May Take Years
Lieut.. w. j. Matteson, assistant
to Major R. G. Geyer, District
engineer and we'll remembered as
the man who measured the Poto-
macs rise last spring, declared
that it may be two years, how
ever, before the machinery of Cap
itol Hill effects the river-bank lm-
provementS suggested by the resi-
dents of the territory contiguous
to the stream. He declared:
"The Army engineers will
draw up their report probably
before the year ends. Congress
has expressed itself as favOring
improvements which will make
impossible future floods in the
Potomac watershed. But we
may have to wait for another
Congress to make moneys avail
able for such improvements.
That might be two years from
now"
According to Lieutenant Matte
son, the data upon which the
report is being based contains
statements from the United States
Weather Bureau and Geological
Survey on weather conditions.
Also embodied are declarations
of the annual damage done dur
ing the past 10 years by the oc-
casionaI rampages of the river.
Work on Channel
Lieutenant Matteson added that
his report will recommend channel
rectifications and other river
limits, and the construction of
''impounding reservoirs" to con-
troll the water flow.
Provided Congress accepts the
recommendations, Lieutenant Mat,
teson said, Federal funds will take
care of the initial expenditures
but localities along the river will
be responsible for upkeep and re,
pairs to dikes and embankmentS,
reservoirs and other projects which
may be launched.

When he returned to his office

wilted sunflowers dropped from a
vase. The desk and chair we're

Laughlin pointed out.
Due to the fact that revenue de-

impossible to get accurate figures on
