to the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission a
change in the zoning of property in
the northwest corner Of Ravenswood

Bingo Benefits
| Approved of
| By Grand Jury
: the Associated Press

FREDERICK, Md, Feb. 22-The
February grand jury stated in an
opinion to the Circuit Court today
that legalization of bingo games
for the benefit of volunteer fire
companies, churches, fraternal and
other recognized civic organizations
would not be injurious to morals
of the community
1T is the view of the jury there
is a distinct difference between COM
mercial exploitation of the game
and the method generally employed
by volunteer fire companies,
churches, fraternal and other recog-
nized civic organizations.
"LegaliZation Of bingo should be
accompanied with the stipulation
that the consideration involved
should not exceed cent"
The grand jury expressed hope
that the force of State troopers
stationed at Barracks B, near Fred
erick, be increased so that roads
in the county would be more ade-
Quately patrolled, which we believe
would have a strong tendency to
reduce the number of accidents"
1t was recommended that busi-
ness houses be more careful in
cashing checks, particularly from
strangers, as a means of reducing
forgery and false pretenSe cases.

The Arlington County Public
Utilities Commission will request
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission to allow q
limited bus service to cross the Me-
mortal Bridge in order TO expedite
travel between the District and
Arlington County during the morn
ing and evening rush hours.
The commissions decision to
make the request was embodied in
a resolution adopted at its meet
ing yesterday. The resolution also
contained a suggestion that If the
request is granted Arlington Ridge
road, which now intersects with
Lee boulevard, should be diverted to
form an underpass below the bridge
near the intersection.
1t was also decided to seek sup.
port from the Arlington County
Board, which will be asked to
adopt a concurrent resolution.

1t was pointed out that national de-
fense activities in the county also

work required to divert Arlington
Ridge road would cost about $1,000.

attended hearings before the Vir-
ginia State Corporation Commits
sion on the proposed reflnancing

She asserted that since the hear
ings the commission and the
trustees in bankruptcy controlling
the company have engaged in a

quest the county board to appoint

Sharp Drop in Fairfax
Tax Rates Indicated
In 1941-42 Budget
S1.67 Levy Is Slated
In CentreyiIIe and
Lee Districts
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FAIRFAX, Va, Feb. ga sharp
decrease in tax rates in all districts
in the county was indicated yester-
day as the Fairfax County Board
of Supervisors completed work on
the tentative budget for the 1912
fiscal year.
Final action on the proposed
budget will be taken by the super
visors following a public hearing
set for April 1.
Tax rates for this year, if the
budget is finally adopted without
change, will be $167 for Centreville
and Lee districts, $212 for Falls
Church district, $272 for Dranes-
vile district and S1.75 for Mount
Vernon and Providence districts.
Last year Centreville and Lee dis
trictS carried a STA rate, with
Dranesville district, $500: Falls
Church district, $244; Mount Ver-
non district, s189, and Providence
district, $190.
Basic rates for all districts will
include the combined school levies
of SIPS, the county levy of So cents
and the fire levy of 6 cents. To this
amount is added 8 cents each in
Mount Vernon and Providence dis
tricts, AS cents in Falls Church dis
trict and $105 in DraneSville dis
trict for special road bond issue in
debtednesS.
The supervisors dropped a special
levy that has been carried for the
past two years for the general re-
assessment of real estate and the
Scent pension levy.
Faced with an urgent need for
additional Office space in the court
house the Board of Supervisors
voted to set aside $4,000 from the
balance in the county levy fund.
On the basis of the present budget
it was thought this amount could
be earmarked for the building fund
and still leave an ample balance at
the end of the current fiscal year
to tide the county over until tax
collections begin in the fall.
Board members felt the transfer
of such funds would be more prac-
tical than setting up special build
ing levy in the new budget.
Division Supt. w. T. WoodSon re-
ported to the board that school
officials believe the $125 combined
school levies will be sufficient to
meet needs set up in the proposed
school budget. Of the amount 25
cents is for capital outlay, with
ST for all other expenses.
Budget valuations as prepared by
county purchasing agent include
$25, ,4O6,685 for the county, $23,-
383, ,722 for county schools and the
fire levy and $2,022 1868 for Falls
Church schools. The town of Falls
Church lays its own school and fire
levies.

Marbury Backed
For Chief Judgeship
OF Seventh Circuit
Prince Georges Friends
Are Hopeful He Will
Receive Appointment

For the first time in about so
years Prince Georges County, Md,
has a chance to obtain the chief
judgeship of the seventh judicial
circuit and a place on the Maryland
Court of Appeals.
Chief Judge Walter j. Mitchell OF
Charles County retires next month
and friends of Associate Judge Ogle
Marbury of Prince Georges County,
recently appointed, are understood
to be energetically backing him for
the chief judgeship.
Friends of Associate Judge Joseph
G. Mattingly of Prince Georges
County, who retires in July, had
been hopeful he might receive the
chief judgeship appointment. 1t is
understood, however, that under a
ruling of the Maryland attorney
general jurists whose terms expire
before the next succeeding election
shall not be appointed chief judges.
The new chief judge will serve
until the November, 1912, election,
when a successor for the full 15-
year term will be chosen.
1t is reported that Gov. O'Conor
has expressed regret that he is un-
able to appoint Judge Mattingly as
chief judge.
1t is understood several other
counties in the seventh judicial Cir
cult, which, in addition to Prince
Georges County. embraces Charles
Calvert, st. Mary's, and Anne Arun-
del Counties, also have active candi-
dates for the chief judgeship.
The chief judge of the circuit re-
ceives $11 500 a year and associate
judges $500.
