Request 10 Kill Bill
For Tax Board
Puzzles Gill
Maryland Legislator
Surprised at Action on
Montgomery Measure

James w. Gill, chairman of the
Montgomery County delegation IN
the Maryland General Assembly,
said today he is unable to under
stand a request by the State Tax
Commission for veto of a bill author
izing the appointment of a county
Board of Assessments. @s s-'ar
The measure would establish a
three member Board of Assessments
for Montgomery County. with the
chairman receiving $500 a year
and the co-members $1,000 each.
This board would work with the
county supervisor Of assessments,
who is appointed by the Tax Com
mission from a list of eligibles sub
mitted by the county commissioners.
Under the measure, however. the
county commissioners would be
given authority to remove members
OF the board. Harry o. Levin, Tax
Commission chairman. wrote Gov.
OConor that this provision con-
fiicted with section of the Mary
land code giving the Tax Commits
sion removal powers.
Mr. Gill declared "the Tax Com
mission was familiar with this bill
while it was pending in the Legisla-
ture and this is the first objection I
have heard raised.
The purpose was to give the coun-
ty uniform assessment with con-
tinual assessments being made by
the proposed board. l personally
can see no objection to the county
commissioners having powers of re-
moval, because the State Tax Com
mission would continue to have the
power to appoint the supervisor OF
assessments
