Asked O'COnOr For
Veto On Measures

enda on all Montgomery County bond
issues as necessary safeguard
against further increase in public

the Montgomery County Farm Bu-

enacted during the recent session of
the State Assembly, for they contain
no provisions for elections on the
question of whether the securities
should be sold.

raise in that figure. He charged

$500,000 a year solely to meet inter-
est charges on outstanding bonds.
