BY JACK ALLEN.

It's far cry from modern times
to the days when tax collectors
drove from farm to farm in buggies
to gather the revenue due Mont
gomery County.
Flip back the pages of county his
tory, though, and one will discover
it was in that era that a member
of the Carlin family of Boyds last
held public Office.
This year, H. Leslie Carlin, one
of long, unbroken line of ardent
Democrats, won in the contest for
county sheriff and has taken his
place in the offlcial setup of that
community.
Mr.. Carlin is the son of the late
John T. Carlin of Boyds, one of
those who made the rounds of farms
and collected the taxes several de-
cades ago when Montgomery was a
farming sector with none of the
modern governmental facilities it
boasts today. {.
He was born on his fathers farm
46 years ago-hell observe his 47th
birthday anniversary January %
and was educated in the public
schools. Mr.. Carlin worked on the
farm until 26 and then went into
the farm supply business with a
store at Boyds.

Assembly Studies
Merger Of N. U.
With St. Johns
Legislature Is Reported
Considering Plan Under
Economy Drive
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 16.-Reports
that the General Assembly is in
quiring into the feasibility of having
St. Johns College absorbed by the
University of Maryland were current
here today in the wake of Gov
O'Conor's economy drive.
With the session due to reconvene
tomorrow night, speculation was rife
in the Capital as to whether the
forthcoming State budget, prepared
by Gov. O'Conor and his fiscal ad-
visers, would cut the $500, 900 annual
State aid heretofore made to vari-
GUS schools and colleges.
Gets SO, 900 Annually.
The principal beneficiary under
the grants is st. Johns College
which receives $4,000 a year. In
return for such assistance, st. Johns
and most of the other benefitting
colleges grant number of free
scholarships to Marylanders.
Statehouse corridor gossip said
the OConor Budget Committee has
inquired into the possibility of a St
John's-U. of M. merger, but that
such a move is regarded as consid-
Grafton for the future rather than
an immediate possibility.
Should the State aid to colleges
in return for scholarships be elimi-
mated, the University of Maryland
would be the lone educational insti-
tuition beneflting from State funds.
Other Schools Aided.
The appropriations for the 1888. 80
biennium, in addition to st. Johns,
were as follows:
Johns Hopkins University, $67 500.
Morgan College, $4,000.
West Nottingham Academy, $500.
Blue Ridge College, $500.
Charlotte Hall Military Academy
$3.50.
Washington College, $60,500.
Western Maryland College, $53,-
600.
McDonough School, $4,000.
The original University of Mary
land, established in Colonial days,
was composed of st. Johns College
and Washington College, Chester
town.
DR.. H. c. Byrd, president Of the
University of Maryland, said today
he had heard nothing of the merger
proposal.
