Montgomery Civic
Federation May Fight
Costly School
May Offer Protest if
Sum for Rockville
Unit Neurs 100000

A protest by the Montgomery
County Md Civic Federation
against high bids" for the con-
struction of Rockville's new high
school may be made at tomorrow
nights meeting at the Bethesda
Elementary School.
The federation's School Commit
tee, it was learned, will discuss the
bids at an earlier meeting and may
recommend a protest by the fedora
ton.
Some members of the civic group
have expressed dissatisfaction over
reports that the cost of building the
school would amount to nearly
100000. Exact amount of the bids
will not be known until they are
opened Tuesday.
The federation may, it was
learned, propose the redrawing of
plans in order to provide for a less
expensive building, constructed more
on the lines of other county educa-
tional buildings, if the bids approach
the 100000 mark.
The federation is expected to
consider an extensive legislative
program which already has been
approved by the Advisory Commit
tee, o. M. Kile, federation president,
said.
Cary Quinn will present to the
civic group the Legislative Commit
tee program which will propose:
Reduction of the State income tax
rate and an increase in exemptions.
Repeal of the special laws relating
to the expense allowance of the
Board of Education.
Amendment of the motor vehicle
laws to allow the parking of auto
mobiles without parking lights on
lighted streets.
Authorization of establishment of
park areas in the sections of the
county where residents of the area
are willing to pay for the parks by
special assessments.
Several other items urged by the
federation heretofore, such as the
establishment of county controller,
a county purchasing department and
the revision of the police civil serv-
ice laws, have been placed on a Sec
ondary list pending the report by
the Bookings Institution, Mr.. Kile
said.
