The project was initiated last win

will make possible the continuation
of the project, and pledged that the
church group will cooperate in any
way it can. -..

Commissioners Quiz
State Officials on
Non-Co-operotion

Strict enforcement of the dog
quarantine in the metropolitan area
of Prince Georges County will con-
tinue despite alleged failure of State
Livestock Sanitary Service officials
at the University Of Maryland to CO.
operate.
After authorizing county police
to continue to shoot all dogs seen at
large, the county commissioners
yesterday approved motion to re-
quest DIR. A. l.. Brueckner. acting
director of the State Livestock SAM
tary Service, to answer the commits
sioners' charge that he and other
sanitary service officials are not CO.
operating in enforcing the ban on
stray dogs.
William A. Carson, president of
the Board of County Commissioners,
recalled that when DR.. Brueckner
requested the board last Tuesday to
extend the present 90-day dog quar-
antine, he promised to designate an
official of the sanitary service to
help round up stray dogs. This Off
cial was to accompany truck op-
Grated by the County Animal Rescue
League
Raw Dear Charged.
A few days later, however. Mr..
Carson added, he had been advised
by DR.. Brueckner that the latter
was unable to assign some one to
pick up stray dogs because of the
manpower shortage. That has made
ST W
more difficult" in enforcing the
quarantine, Mr.. Carson said.
Declaring that I'VE apparently got
q raw deal from DR.. Brueckner,
Commissioner Theodore Siehler said,
I'VE should inquire further as to
why DR.. Brueckner promised to CO.
operate and then failed to do So"
Both Mr. Siehler and Commis-
sioner John Howard Beall asserted
that I'VE must keep the quarantine
to help stamp out rabies-we must
do the best we can Mr.. Beall
pointed out that if residents would
cooperate by keeping their pets tied
or penned, police would not find
many stray dogs.
M. Carson also said some resi-
dents have expressed fear concern
ing reports that policemen are shoot
ing dogs on private property He
termed such fears exaggerated"
State Tax Estimated.
The board was advised in letter
from State Controller J. Millard
Tawes that the State tax rate for
1914 will be u cents on each 500
of assessable property. This repre-
sents a reduction of three quarters
of cent in the present tax rate.
The commissioners also received
letters from the Ladies of Charity
OF the county and from the Catho-
lie Daughters Of America, Court
Prince Georges. No. 1910. indorsing
the proposal for establishment of
a Juvenile court.
The commissioners now have un-

any local schools, Mr.. Middendorf
pointed out that it does require
education progress reports to be
made to Washington, which is the
first logical step in control
In addition, Mr. Middendorf main
tanned that the expenditures would
constitute waste of Federal money
at time when every dollar should
be devoted to winning the war"
The report adopted by the vir-
ginia Education Association stated
that the States should continue to
exercise complete control of the pub
lie schools.
Any Federal aid, according to the
report. should be extended only
through the State departments of
education and the Federal Govern
ment should deal exclusively with
such departments in the distribution
