Commissioner Rudy
Urges Motorists To
Check Addresses

"The failure of the automobile
owners to notify the Office of the
Commissioner Of Motor Vehicles of
change of address was again, dur
ing 1895, source of great incon-
venience to this Office as well as
to the motorists themselves" said
Walter R. Rudy, Commissioner.
"The application blanks for 1897
licenses will be printed soon and
your application will bear your adj
dress as now recorded. Failure on
your part to notify the Office of
change of address may result in
not receiving your application or
tags. Last year SIG sets of license
plates, as well as hundreds of
license applications, were return
ed by the post Office for better adj
dress.
Notification blanks for change Of
address may be secured from the
Commissioner Of Motor Vehicles
or from automobile dealers, JUS
tees Of the peace and notaries
public throughout the State"

Renew Efforts To
Keep Crossing AT
Rockville Open
Town Council And Chamber Of
Commerce Determined To
Retain Old Bridge

Most Of the leading citizens and
officials of Rockville are determined
to wage fight to retain the pres-
ent grade crossing and the old over
head bridge on New Street, in spite
of the opposition of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad and the apparent
unconcern Of the State Roads Conn
mission. Last night the Town Council
took firm stand in the matter:
Mayor Douglas M. Blandford alone
dissenting from the desire Of hir
associates to keep the present cross
ing open. The mayor, however said
that ne favored retaining the old
wooden bridge in view of the fact
that there is no suitable approach
left from Janeta to Rockville proper.
Members of the Council, together
with representatives of the Chamber
of Commerce, will confer with a des-
ignated agent of he railroad con the
ground in the near future. It was
thought better to hold the parley at
the spot where the trouble arises.
It has been pointed out that the
closing of the old Viers Nell Road and
the round-about way of approach to
the new steel overhead bridge will
work quite an imposition on both
motorists and pedestrians coming to
Rockville from Janeta and the Nor
beck route.
1t is claimed that DR.. Homer E.
Tabler, chairman of the State Roads
Commission, promised local officials
that the present crossing would be
kept open and proper safety devices
installed. The closing Of the crossing
to local traffic will seriously hurt
business located near the railroad
tracks, observers say.

Federal Housing
To Explain Loans
Here Jan. Ii IL
Banks In Montgomery County
Cooperating Heartily In
Plans For Future

The steady growth of the volume
of business done by the Federal
Housing Administration in insuring
loans made by private lending insti-
tutions is a marked indication of the
desire of the public for this plan of
home financing. There are many ad-
vantages in having the entire debt
existing against your home combin-
ed into one long term non-renewable
mortgage with monthly payment
plan that pays all the charges. In
come can be budgeted to meet this
one standard monthly payment and
there are no annual or semi-annual
payments coming due to catch the
home owner unprepared.
The procedure for combining the
present mortgages against your home
into this type of insured loan is very
simple and the details of how it can
be done will be fully explained to the
residents of Rockville and vicinity on
January IL and IL. On these dates
Joseph Kingston, a, representative of
the Federal Housing Administration,
will be at the Rockville firehouse
from 9 A. M. to P. M. and will be
ready to assist any, interested person
in revising the present debt against
his property.
The banks of Maryland are cooper
ating very heartily with this Govern
mental agency and Mr.. Kingston will
be able to advise and suggest the
most efficient method of paying the
existing mortgages and will assist
any home owner in preparing an ap-
plication for this new modern type of
real estate mortgage.

Auditors Will
Confer With Board
During The Week
State Roads Commission Check
ing Account; Act On Liquor
Board Proposals

Auditors who have been checking
Montgomery County accounts with
the Maryland State roads commission
for several months to determine the
status of the alleged county overdraft
will confer with the board of county
commissioners this week in Rockville,
it was announced at a meeting of the
board on Tuesday.
The audit was ordered by the local
board after preliminary study of the
State accounts raised the question of
whether all of the work done by the
roads commission had been properly
authorized by the county commission
ers. The overdraft was set at approx
imately $225,OOO by state auditors
and has resulted in drastic curtail-
ment of county road work due to
diversions of large part of the
county's lateral gasoline tax funds to
apply on the amount claimed due by
the State. No indication was given
Tuesday as to the nature of the
county auditors report.
Two legislative recommendations of
the county liquor control board were
approved by the commissioners and
two other recommendations rejected.
Those approved call upon the State
Legislature to eliminate the term
eight" in connection with wines in
accordance with a policy already
adopted by the Federal Government
and most wine producers, and to in
crease the license fees for beer and
wine dealers. The proposal would
raise the license for Class "a" off
sale beer dealers from $25 to $50;
Class "a" on sale beer and wine
licenses from $35 to $65; Class I'D"
on sale beer license from $50 to $85,
and Glass sd" on sale beer and wine
license from $50 to 800.
The commissioners rejected pro-
pcsals to seek reduction in the
State liquor tax from $1.10 to rs
cents per gallon, and elimination of
the Scent per case beer tax levied
last year for relief funds.
Augustus R. Selby, of Germantown
was recommended for appointment to
the county welfare board to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation
several weeks ago of DR.. Claude w.
Mitchell, of Silver Spring. William S.
WEIGH, of Halpine, was appointed
night Waterman at the Bethesda
liquor dispensary at salary of $85
per month and Miss Mary Somerville,
of Rockville, was appointed telephone
switchboard operator in the court
house at 500 per month.
