Service has called on other States
for several thousand additional

THE Employment Service is in

of the State to obtain workers." said
D. L. B. Fringer, service director.
But in spite of the conscientious
efforts employees are making to break
down their jobs into lower skills and
to utilize all of our local labor re-
sources, it is becoming increasingly
necessary to go out of the State to
obtain qualified workers for the
available jobs

Warning that present debt figures
for Montgomery County Md show
the amber light of caution" Dr..
William Paul Walker, University OF
Maryland economist. urged county
officials to embark on four point
economy program in order to ap-
proach a real" pay-as-you-g basis.
His talk was the fourth in series
sponsored on Thursday nights at
the Rockville High School by a
countrywide group organized to
sponsor the study of the Brookings
Institution report on the county gov
ernment.
Although admitting that the size

said that the people If Montgomery

Economies Urged.
The wise course for the county
commissioners during the next few
years, he said, would be:
Fix a tax rate that will pay off
all debt as it natures and meet all
current expenses in full.
BE extremely conservative in
authorizing any new public improve
ments that involve bond issues, es-
| pecially longtime bond issues.
Make no further bond issues
whose term exceeds the life of the
improvement.
Bring about all possible econo-
| mics in government administration
consistent with efficiency so that,
/ if possible. taxes on property may
/ be reduced within the next few
/ years without resort TO debt refund-
| ing or TO the funding of deficits"
| Failure of the county to assess
property at its full valuation did
much to pile up the county's in

! sized
While the direct debt Of the
/ county was advancing almost stead
lily from year 10 year." he said, the
assessed value of the real and per-
sonal property, until 1889, increased
only little"
ReaSsessment Favored.
In fact. DR.. Walker continued
decrease occurred in the amount of
taxes levied between 1882 and 1885,
forcing the county to embark on a
program of refunding its maturing
obligations.
If the county had Systematically
reaSSessed property and had levied
taxes high enough to meet obi
cations as they matured, there
would have been less need for re-
tuning bonds" he declared.
This failure to pay off maturing
Indebtedness, he emphasized, was
an important factor in the county
debt increase from S5 5,99O,OO0 in 1880
to s11, 100000 in 1910.
He concluded by telling his au-
dience that citizens can profitablv
give serious consideration to the
findings and suggestions of the
Brookings Institution. Time
and study will play an important
part in revealing the wisdom of
such recommendation"
Thomas Kelly, former Judge of the
Orphans Court at Rockville, pre-
sided at the meeting. Next Thurs
day night Daniel T, Selko of the
Brookings staff will discuss the
county's revenue system.

told the court they were creating
a scene by "hugging and kissing"
The girl testified that she was
attacked by three of the men when
they stopped along Baltimore boule-
ward after leaving the tavern. Her
companion said she had run away
when the car stopped and the men
were not watching.
The men admitted stopping the
car, owned by Shredder, and did not
deny making advances to the girl,
but did deny assaulting her They
said she finally ran away and they
returned to camp.

Have the government or ma

both, originate clubs along the
lines of Christmas savings
clubs 'for the purpose of Great

anti-depression funds" Why not,
he asks, employ a very large
force of statesmen and advertis-
ing men 10 bring about the de-
velopment of such backlog?
Every patriotic citizen should
be interested in striving for the
attainment of three detectives:
First--Whole-h cooper

Second=In preserving. as far
as feasible, the operation of our
peacetime economy, in order
that dislocation of employment

vestors be kept down to the
lowest practical minimum!
Third-In preparations for
