1T is INDEED LAMENTABLE
that a situation exists where any dis
tributor can promiscously buy milk
from county where the health reg
ulations are not strict or non-enforced

thesda and Rockville market in COM
petition with bona-fide, grade A milk
from diaries meeting every test to the
satisfaction of the Maryland and Vir-
ginia Milk Producers Association and
the Independent shippers who pay
taxes in Montgomery County and
have huge sums invested in barns and
equipment. The customer is guided
only by the taste of the milk and the
LABEL. If that label claims the con-
tents to be Grade A Milk-then the
dairy should stand back of that claim
And for the protection of local dairy
men who have more interest than the
mere desire to make. money, there
should be no milk sold in Montgom-
cry County which does not meet with
the igid'regulations as laid down by
the County Commissioners on Decem-
Der II, 1885.

Relief Situation
May Be Changed,
Officials Learn
Board OF State Aid and Chart
ties Possibly Will Clear
Up Middle

Possibility that Montgomery Coun-
TVS muddled relief situation will be
Strengthened out was voiced in let
ter from j. Milton Patterson, execu-
tive secretary of the Maryland Board
of State Aid and Charities, received
Tuesday by Frank H. Karn, presi-
dent of the Montgomery County Com
missioners.
Failure of P. Ray Souder, super
visor of county aid, to send estimates
to the State board, resulted in the
county being left out of the budget
estimates of the State board. The
county faces the possibility Of having
to raise more than $4,000 for relief
work.
Karn wrote to Patterson when il
was found the county was not in
cluded in the budget, and asked
status of Montgomery County. Dis
covery that the county was left out
was made by Miss Ruth Shoemaker
member of the House of Delegates
who wrote to Karin and asked why the
county had not forwarded an estimate
Patterson wrote that he had re.
ceived letter from Miss Dorothy A
Everson executive secretary of the
county welfare board, which contained
an estimate but that the letter arrived
February after he had sent the
budget to the General Assembly.
Patterson asked that the county
submit regular reports through the
welfare board, declaring that this
would be very helpful.

Chances For Federal Building
Said To Hinge On
Appropriation

If Congress continues in gener-
GUS mood and appropriates goodly
sum for Postofices this year, there is
every chance that Rockville will be
authorized to start construction of a
Federal Building.
{ Smith w. Purdum, Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General, told COM
mittee of representative Rockville
citizens Monday that things look
bright for new postoffice and that
the town is entitled to a Federal
Building on the basis Of its increased
postal receipts.
State Senator Stedman Prescott
acted as chairman Of the delegation
which conferred with Mr.. Purdum in
the new postoffice building in Wash
ington. Other leading citizens present
were: Mayor Douglas M. Blandford;

20 Properties To
Be Taxed; Escaped
Levies For Years
Another Argument For General
Reassessment Found In
Silver Spring

Another real argument for a gen.
eral reassessment of property in
Montgomery County is being advanc-
ed with the discovery that nearly 80
parcels of real estate in the Silver
Spring area have escaped taxation for
several years. About 70 pieces have
been placed on the books within the
past two years and will accordingly
be taxed, according to Sidney M.
Oliver, deputy clerk to the County
Commissioners at Silver Spring.
Building inspectors in the Silver
Spring office have found the build
ings at different times in the last
two years, Oliver said. This num-
Der includes the 33 houses and a
garage discovered several months ago
and probably totals about 100000.
Oliver said that probably there
are many more in the county that
would be discovered by general
reassessment.
A new system of checking home
and business construction in the
suburban area has been devised by
the county building inspector, E. J.
Gray, and it is considered unlikely
that any new construction will be able
to escape assessment.
Gray said that building permits had
been in use in the county for years,
but that it had been discovered that
all builders were not complying strict
" with the regulations. Installation
of water, sewer, gas and electric
meters now has to be reported to the
building inspector so that their loca-
ton can be checked to make sure
they are in buildings for which a per-
NIT has been obtained in the proper
manner.
Gray said that he did not believe
this method was used prior to his
administration and that he believed
many properties would be found if a
general reassessment is held. The last
general reassessment was in 1927,
ten years ago, and millions of dollars
of construction has been completed
since that time.

AS WE SEE 1T
By MoNTCo

MONTGOMERY COUNTY DAIRY
MEN are quite indignant over stu
.ation which has allegedly been per-
mitted to exist for some time. A milk
distributor is furnishing milk to a
large clientele in the suburban Sec
tions of the county at a cheaper price
than other companies charge. 1t is
claimed by milk producers in the vi
cinity of Rockville and Gaithersbury
that this distributor sells milk labeled
"Grade A" which actually will not
meet the necessary health require
ments for Montgomery County. They
cite past bacterial counts from the
records of the County Health De-
partment to support their allegations.
DR.. v. L. Ellicott, County Health
officer has admitted that some records
affecting a certain distributor have
been destroyed.

Dairymen Charge
Laxity In Milk
Inspection Here
Producers Insist 40 Mile Limit
Be Retained; Urge High
Standards

Montgomery County milk shippers
are insistent in their charges that the
milk regulations are not being rigidly
adhered to and that milk is coming
into Montgomery County without
meeting the requirements as laid
down by the Health Regulations
adopted to govern the safety Of
consumers.
A group, headed by Basil Mobley,
James King, Lawson King, o. W. An.
derson, Douglas Diamond, L. r.
Sabine and other important shippers.
appeared before the County Commits
sioners Tuesday and demanded that
something be done to halt the prom
iscous distribution of milk in the
heavily populated suburban areas.
A particularly heavy attack was
launched upon the proposal now be-
fore the commissioners to permit
State inspection to replace county in
spection and the extension of the 40
mile inspection limit.
Lawson King and others charged
that certain distributor has been
permitted to bring milk not meeting
with Grade A requirements into the
county. 1t was also charged that GER
tain records had been removed from
the health department files on the
complaint of this certain distributor
after he had allegedly made improve
ments in his plant. The local produc-
ers claim that the distributor in ques-
ton was never degraded or otherwise
penalized for his neglect and disre-
gard Of county health rules.
At the meeting Commissioners
Robert D. Hagner and Paul Coughlan
expressed their desire to cooperate
with the local producers. Hagner said
he had probably been derelict in his
duties, although he was not a mem
Der Of the special committee on milk.
He said he had never been satisfied
with the way things were going and
would like to see the health depart
ment lacked up to compel a uniform
set of rules governing shippers and
distributors. Mr.. Coughlan expressed
himself as also being in accordance
with the demands Of the local dairy
men.
Commissioner Richard H. Lansdale
declared that he had no knowledge
that the inspection was not being car
ried out in accordance with the regu-
lations. Commissioner Charles e.
King said that as far as the board
was concerned they could only act on
complaints as reported by the health
officer and his inspectors.
H. S. Harvey, Hyattsville, an indie
pendent distributor, who accompanied
the delegation, told the board he be-
lieved the regulations might be
frightened up" somewhat, and that. he
would be willing to follow any policy
the board might adopt. 1t is practical
ly impossible for him to refuse to
buy milk from any producer approx
ed by the county health Office, he
said.
i Earlier, J. o. Holbrook, Hyattsville,
another Independent distributor, APP
pearing before the board to discuss
payment Of back fees totaling more
than $1,1O0 for inspection Of >out-of-
county milk during the last eight
months, asked the commissioners II
he would be permitted to distribute
State-inspected milk in the county in
the future.
1t was reported that scant satisfac-
ton was given on Mr.. Holbrook's re-

TUESDAY, THE COMMISSION.
ERS were hauled over the Goals in nc
uncertain term by a delegation of
dairymen Tor permitting milk to come
into Montgomery County from Fred
erick County without the proper in
spection and without passing the
rigid tests required of local producers.
The commissioners were accused OF
being negligent in their duties for not
compelling the Health Officer and his
inspectors to assess penalties
against dairymen and distributors
falling short of the regulations as set
up for the health and safety of Mont
gomery County citizens. These dairy
men coming before the commissioners
sitting as Board of Health said they
were "tired of being promised things
and were now determined to act even
if it meant bringing legal action"
They claim that the argument has
been going on for about two years
without anything being done to pro-
tect Montgomery County milk ship
pers against careless or Indifferent
distributors who purchase milk in
Frederick County and sell in Mont
gomery in competition with better
quality milk.

IF HALF OF THE charges made
in Tuesdays hearing are true and the
statistics regarding bacterial count,
etc., have been accepted by at least
two Of the county commissioners and
are admitted to be matter of record
by the health department, then there
is OBVIOUSLY SOM EFT H N G
WRONG. Substantial citizens such
as were present Tuesday are not ac-
customed to go off half-cocked and
make series of assertions without
proof. The Commissioners, as our
governing body, should be on the alert
to check these grievances. No matter
if one or two commissioners are ap-
pointed as a committee to act on the
milk questionable whole board is re-
sponsible for the health and well be-
ing of the milk consumers OF Mont
