Engineer Bill Veto
To Force Tax Rise,
Carson Declares
Heavy Extro Costs
For Prince Georges
Projects Forecast

Keen disappointment over Gov.
OConor's veto of the county en-
gineer bill passed by the last session
of the Maryland Legislature for
Prince Georges County was voiced
today by William A. Carson, presi-
cent of the Board of County Com
missioners. q
Gov. O'COnnor vetoed the bill
which would have provided an en-
gineer to supervise housing stand
ards and road construction in the
county on May %.
Mr. Carson declared the Gov
ernor's action would require resi-
dents in special taxing areas created
by the Legislature to pay from
$4,000 to $4,000 in front foot bene-
fit charges to meet engineering
costs for the Improvements. In ad-
dition. he said. residents of the en-
tire Metropolitan Area probably will
have to pay additional taxes to meet
the $4,000 0-to-s24, 900 costs of OBJ
tanning engineering facilities for the
100000 Improvements program, of
which SoUU,UUO is 10 De spent this
year.
Mr.. Carson said that had an en-
gineer been appointed for the county
his staff would have been able to
handle the engineering problems
which are bound to arise out of both
programs. He said the sum re-
quired to maintain the county en-
gineer would have been far less than
the total cost of private engineering
services needed for both programs.
In vetoing the bill. Gov. OConor
said he was following the recommen-
dations of State Attorney General
William C. Walsh, who reported that
provision in the Prince Georges
County measure regarding punish
ment of building code violators was
inconsistent with State law.
