Quota of $2,O22,1OO
Is MOntgOmery's
Aim In Fund Drive
Amount Is Equivalent To
One-Fourteenth OF Total
Deposits In County

Richard +. Green, Montgomery
County Chairman of the United
States Treasury War Finance
Committee, has announced that
Montgomery County's quota in the
thirteen billion dollar April War
Bond drive has been fixed at 3d.
022,100.00, exclusive of bank sub
scriptions. This figure was much
larger than members of the Com
mittee had expected but every
member of the Committee has
agreed that these huge totals
should drive home to the general
public the fact that war is ex-
pensive.
Montgomery County banks have
deposits of approximately twenty
eight million dollars and the April
sales figures amount to approx
mately Inn Of the amount on de-
post in all of the County banks.
The quota set by the Treasury De-
partment, if subscriptions were
evenly distributed among all of the
people Of the County, would mean
that every person would have to
purchase $4,000 worth of bonds and
on this basis, each family should
purchase $1,000 worth of bonds. OF
course, many families cannot pur-
chase their share of the allotment
and in order to raise the quota, it
is now very definitely known that
every family will have to do its
full share in buying bonds to the
limit.
Chairman Green's Committee,
composed Of prominent members of
the banking fraternity in all Sec
tions of the County, were hearten-
ed by the early response to the
campaign. At Silver Spring on the
cpe-ing day Of the campaign, sales
totaled $132,97s.OO, exclusive of
bank subscriptions. This is, how
ever, only 207o of that commun-
ity's total quota. Early subscrip-
tions all over the County range
from $18.75 30 100000, indicat-
ing that all types of investors are
interested in doing their part to
win the war. Chairman Green and
his Committee fully realize that
we have not won the war yet and
if we lose it, we lose all. Speak
ing to members of the Committee a
few days ago, Mr.. Green remarked
Many of our finest, young people
have already made the supreme
sacrifice for our country and many
more will be called upon to give
their all before peace returns. This
bond drive gives us all an oppor-
tunity to have highly essential
part in the war effort. It is not
however, an effort which calls for
the sacrifice of life, but this effort
is equally important to Victory.
The bonds offered this month are
still the best investment in the
world and interest rates and ma
turtles are arranged to meet the
investment needs of practically
every citizen" The people of
Montgomery County can be of
great assistance to the War
Finance Committee by placing
their orders for bonds as early as
possible in the month. The bonds
are on sale at every bank in the
County and the popular Series "E"
bonds are also on sale at theatres
and building and loan associations.

Draft Of County Charter
Made Public For STUDY
Final Proposal To Be Submitted To Commits
sioners By May 3rd-Nine-Man Council With
County Manager Provided Hearings In Rock
vile During April

A preliminary draft of pro-
posed charter for Montgomery
County, providing for a county
manager, peoples control of legis-
lation, merit system for county
employees and nine-man council was
made public Monday.
According to Frederic P. Lee,
chairman of the Charter Board, in
dividuals and organizations in the
county will be given a chance to
study the proposed charter and to
make suggestions before the final
draft is submitted on May 8.
Members of the Charter Board
in addition to Mr.. Lee, ARE: Thomas
M. Anderson, Rockville; Tarlton
Brooks, Sandy Spring; Mrs. Min
Ter Hostetler, Glen and Stephen
James, Silver Spring.
Under the provisions of the pro-
posed charter, county legislation,
heretofore enacted by the State
Legislature, will be passed by a
county council of nine members.
A county personnel board would
be set up to provide merit sys-
TEN and civil service for county
employees, and political contribu-
tons or assessments by county
officers or employees would be ex-
pressly forbidden.
The charter also provides fol-
central purchasing and a depart
mentalized government, and a cap
tai budget and an expense budget
des:gned to give the people of the
county a clear picture Of fiscal
affairs at all times.
After the people of the county
have had an opportunity to study
and to make suggestions, the board
will make revisions and will sub
NIT the charter to the commission
ers prior to May 3. Any individ-
ual or group will be given hear
ing at the boards headquarters in
Rockville.
The new charter will be voted on
in November, 1914, and if approved
by a majority of the voters will
become law in thirty days there
after. An election of the members
of the new council will follow, and
the provisions of the charter then
will become operative.
While the new council will super
sede the present county commits
sioners in the exercise of executive
functions, the county commissions
ers, because of constitutional con-
siderations, are continued in office
until the end of the terms for
which they were elected last Fall.
The bi-county organizations
serving Montgomery and Prince
Georges counties, such as the
Washington Suburban Commission
and the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission are
not affected by the charter.
Provision is made for a nine
man council TO be chosen, one each
from the five commissioner dis
tricts and four from the county at
large. Members will be elected
for four-year terms and will
serve without compensation, except
that So for expenses may be paid
members for each meeting, the
total not TO exceed $500 for the
year.
A county manager be chosen by
the council at a salary of $4,000
to $4,000 a year, is proposed. He
would be the chief administrative
officer in charge of all department

Only by steadfastness to his

Whether Washington fans will view

mined here. tomorrow when major
league club owners convene to con-
slider Clark Griffith's plea that he
be permitted to schedule 10 addi-
tional arc engagements for the Mats
at home.
Washington already has played II
night games at Griffith Stadium
and has nine more slated. In addi-
tion to those nine, however Wash
ingtons boss is asking for 10 night
dates, which would mean a total of
% more night games for the Mats
If granted.
Griffith has the support of other
American league club owners in his
proposal, but the final decision will
rest with Baseball Commissioner
Kenesaw Mountain Lands. who has
stymied similar proposals by Griffith
in the past.
To Stay for ALL Star Game.
According to announced attend
ance at Washington night games,
the Mats have lured an average Of
more than $4,000 customers to II
night games, and with those figures

part In the argument, Durocher Is in
no enviable position.
Suspended for what Durocher
termed acts detrimental to the well
fare, of the club, Newsom was ac-
cused specifically of embarrassing
Catcher Bobby Bragan for Bragan's
failure to hold third strike in
Fridays game. Durocher, it seems
felt Newsom should have informed
Bragan that the discussed pitch was
going to be spit ball, an illegal
but frequently employed pitch.
Bragan is supposed to have sig
nailed for knuckle ball and received
4 splitter, which can be extremely
embarrassing to a catcher who is
expecting a pitch to break here and
suddenly discovers it's breaking over
there. Newsom and Bragan had
words over it and the suspension
followed.
