Beer Dealers
.ASSail Increase
In County Tax
Claim Dime A Case And
Dollar A Barrel Will Cause
Business Loss

Increases in the county beer tax are
being hotly assailed by the Montgom-
cry County Beer Dealers Association
and definite steps toward combating
the added tax are expected to be
taken within the next week.
Richard ]. Dietle, president of the
association, declared yesterday that
his fellow beer dispensers faced heavy
loss of business if the increase in beer
tax recently imposed by the board of
county commissioners is allowed to
stand.
The county beer tax was raised last
week by the commissioners to 10 cents
per case and 81 per barrel, which is
the figure that was charged when the
liquor control board was created after
beer first became legal.
Two years ago, however, the state
legislature, at the request of the
county beer dealers, enacted legisla-
ton reducing the tax to 5 cents per
case and so cents per barrel. When
the liquor control board declined to
reduce the tax charges but continued
to collect the old amount, the beer
dealers took the case to court and won
an order for a refund.
Last session, however, the State
Legislature repealed the 1887 act pro-
hibiting charge of more than cents
case and so cents barrel. With the
way thus clear for an increase, the
board voted the raise in tax last week,
+ The beer dealers declare the extra
tax makes it difficult for them to COM
pete with concerns in Washington and
other nearby communities selling beer
without this tax penalty. The liquor
control board counters with the de-
claration that the tax represents the
boards sole profit on handling beer,

County Receives
Good Price For
Low Interest Bonds
Issues Cover Washington
Memorial Parkway, Refund
ing And Gaithersburg Fire
Department

A forty-year bond issue of $150,000
to finance purchases of land for the
George Washington memorial park
way along the Potomac river and the
G. & o. canal, was sold by the board
of county commissioners this week at
a record price, according to county
accountant, Alexander K. Hancock.
The 40-year issue bears interest at
only 2.40 per cent which Hancock said
is the lowest interest on any bond of
this length that has been sold by the
county. A premium of STU was paid
for the issue by the Mercantile Trust
Company and several associates.
At the same time the commission
ers sold $216,5OO of refunding bonds
for 20-year period which will bear
an interest rate of only 2.25 per cent,
and an issue of $1,000 for the Gath
ersburg volunteer fire department to
run at IL years and bear interest at
2 per cent.
The county bond issue funds of
$15O,OOO will be matched by the Fed
eral government with a similar sum,
thus making 100000 available for
the purchase of land for the George
Washington memorial parkway,
The parkway will cover both sides
of the Potomac river and will extend
from Mt. Vernon to the Great Falls,
covering both the Maryland and Vir-
ginia areas.
The Montgomery county portion of
che parkway win extend FROM the
Great Falls southwark along the gem
eral direction of theiold G.. 60. canal
to Georgetown, where it will connect
up with other unis bat will link it
with the Mt. vernoA "a of the park.

Japanese Beetle
Fight Is On
In This County \

The Japanese Beetle Control Pro-
gram for Montgomery County, spon-
sored by the Federal, State and Coun-
ty governments, is getting under way
this week when more than 5000 traps
are being set under the supervision of
County Agent, o. w. Anderson, who
gives in detail below what the pro-
gram will consist and of what will be
necessary on the part of the county
residents if the menace is to - held
down % a point of minor economic
Importance.
Mr.. Anderson emphasizes the i'm
portance Of thorough cooperation on
the part of everyone inasmuch as fail
ure to fight the beetle in 1888 has
given them considerable Roadway that
will not be easily offset.
The program will consist of five
MOTOR points:
1. Trapping. 2. Spraying. 3. Earring.
4. Soil Treatment. 5. Plans for Plant
ing.
Only one of these control measures,
namely; that of trapping, will be per-
formed by the government. All others
are up to individual residents of the
county.
Trapping - The trapping program
will be carried on in Gaithersburg,
Rockville and the suburban area
where beetles are known to be and the
traps will be placed from 200 to 300
feet apart, which is sufficiently close
and any resident might have a trap
if desired. However, those in charge
should be notified Of extra traps be-
ing set because it is highly essential
not to concentrate too many in one
place as beetles would be drawn to

Five Youths May Get
New Hearing In
Recent Contempt Case

The five youths who received a re-
cord three-year sentence last month
for contempt Of court after they had
wrecked their cells on the top floor of
the Montgomery County Courthouse
and practically halted trial in the
Circuit Court room below, may get a
review of their case.
Thomas L. Dawson, attorney for
three Of the boys, who are now serv-
ing their sentence in the Maryland
House of Correction, said the court
had indicated a hearing would be
granted the trio If they had anything
to say in their own behalf. At the
time the contempt sentence was given,
an five youths refused to make any
'statement.
Mr.. Dawson said he had visited
them since they had been removed
from the Jail here and believed some,
if not all Of them, would make an ex-
PLANTATION in their own defense. The
date for the hearing will probably be
set next week after he has had an
other visit with them, he said.
The court here usually does not
hold sessions during the summer
months, but the grand jury is sched-
uled to convene July "a unless ad-
vised to the contrary. Mr.. Dawson
said he hoped the cases against the
youths, John Cowan, Henry Flynn,
George Railey and Harding Mattera,
all of Capitol Heights, and John Shat
ger of Washington, could be taken up
at that time.
