COUNTY CONSOLIDATION
IS NOW BEING PROPOSED
University Of Maryland Bulletin
Would Group % Divisions Into
Seven Districts
MAY NOT REDUCE TAXES

Consolidation of Maryland's coun-
ties into seven districts is proposed in
bulletin on Economy in County
Government" just published by the
University of Maryland's Agricultu-
raj Experiment Station.
While similar proposals have been
advanced before, this is the first
thorough study ever made of the prob
able economic and social effects of
consolidation.
The study was conducted by Everett
c. Weitzell, graduate assistant in
the Department of Agricultural Eco
Monies, under the direction of DR.. S.
H. Default, professor of agricultural
economics, and Paul Walker, associ-
ate in agricultural economies.
Points Out Benefits
The redistricting would be of bene-
fit mainly to the small counties, where
high administrative costs now make it
impossible to maintain adequate serv-
ices, but the entire State would benefit
Indirectly, the report indicates. Some
of the larger counties, however, would
find their costs of government higher
in a few departments under the con-
solidation.
Consolidation offers relatively
more savings in the administrative as
poets than in the purely functional
activities of local government" Mr..
Weitzell said. His estimates of econo-
mics, therefore, were based on studies
of the commissioners, treasurers' and
assessors offices, clerk of court and
register of wills and law and order.
Costs to the taxpayers of maintain
ing these offices would be reduced an
average of twenty Eight per cent, he
estimated. The reductions would vary
from forty-three per cent in the COM
missioners' office, to eighteen per
cent in the law-and-order services.

He said something about "all

frenzied clutchings and their
swift capitulations." Then he
laughed, finished light: "An' so

She could feel Rodney Callman

She couldn't know that he was
absorbing something aloof and
indefinable about her that was
different from the look and the
manner OF any of the girls he

thinking it was going to be in

that behind her counter her
knees were trembling. that she
handed out q box of cigars to an
old lady who had asked for
