suburban area of Montgomery
County have been connected to cen
trail switches, with the exception of
that on the Silver Spring Volunteer
Fire Department building, it was
announced today by Judge Albert
E. Brault, director of civilian de-
fense.
Judge Brault said that all sirens
in the western suburban area are on
one switch and those in the eastern
suburban area on a switch in that
section. The Silver Spring firemen
refused to have their siren operated
from outside the firehouse, so in
interests of informity, he has or
dered that the sounding of that
siren be discontinued.

Montgomery War Powers Bill
Seen 'UnshockIing' Officials
Commissioners Would Be Free to Meet
Any Emergency, Legislators Contend

A bill introduced recently by the
Montgomery County delegation in
the Maryland Legislature would
"unshackle" the County Board of
Commissioners in meeting war and
postwar problems, a spokesman for
the delegation said today.
The commissioners would be given
broadly enumerated" powers to
meet any emergency arising during
the war The bill also would give
the board free hand in carrying
out plans, many of which already
are drawn up, for the period follow
ing the war.
&The bill provides for postwar con-
struction of improvements and ex-
pansions of municipal public works
services that can be anticipated
now. 1t also provides for authority
to meet Immediately such needs as
cannot readily be anticipated this

Asked in Budget
Council Misunderstood
How Increase Would Be
Applied, Bondheim Says

Following a meeting of the Alex
andria City Council and the Board
of Education, it was indicated yes
terday that the Council would in
crease its allotment for operation
of schools during 1943 to meet the
$3.50 900 budget sought by the School
Board.
The meeting, called at the request
of the School Board. was attended
by representatives of P-TA groups
and other civic organizations. q
Leroy Bandheim, chairman Of the
School Board stated that the coun-
Gil apparently had misunderstood
the budget. 1t indicated that in
granting a salary raise to all teach
ers, and in equaliZing salaries OF
colored teachers TO conform with
white school stats, it incurred an
obligation Of $4,000 toward the
1914 budget because Of the differ
ence between the city and the school
fiscal year. The council had inter-
preted the item as meaning that the
School Board was asking for a $15,-
900 surplus in the budget and had
not granted the full amount re-
queSted.

Further Staggering
Of Hours 10 Ease

Board Hears Merrill;
Porter Uges Business
To Curb Fire Hazards

Additional staggering of work
hours, so that the time of opening
and closing business establishments
will be further removed from peak
transportation periods, was urged by
E. D. Merrill, president of the Capt.
tai Transit Co, last night at the
January meeting of the Washington
Board of Trade at the Mayfower
Hotel.
Addressing several hundred busi-
nessmen, Mr.. Merrill said there
would be fewer persons waiting on
corners these cold days because of
traffic congestion "if you will ar
range to shift working hours. 1t
may be necessary to stagger still
further Government hours as well,
if we are to serve the requirements
with reasonable comfort"
Fire Chief Stephen Porter, urging
business firms to get rid of fire
hazards by keeping their establish
ments free of trash, shared honors
with Mr.. Merrill on the speaking
program. Fire-prevention rules,
Chief Porter emphasized, must be
rigidly enforced Neglect in remov-
ing rubbish endangerS the life and
property of other persons, he stated,
as he reminded merchants and
other businessmen to use their own
trucks to haul trash away, thus
safeguarding their own properties.
Fire is doubly disastrous these days
because priorities cannot be OBJ
tanned for new construction, he
pointed out.
"Warcasters" Heard.
A high light of the evening was a
"Warcasters" program, featuring
Richard Harkness, Barnet Mover,
Robert Mccormick and Kenneth

They discussed national and inter
national questions and then an

floor.
Mr.. Merrill revealed that his COM
pany is hauling 1,250,0O0 revenue
passengers each weekday, or total
equivalent to the total population of
the Metropolitan Area.
Shifting travel from buses to
streetcars conserves both rubber and
gasoline, the traction company head
emphasized.

ported county real estate valuations

for this years assessments.
This increase, he said, will be off,
set by the loss of land acquired by
the Federal Government, demol-
ished buildings. land dropped from
the tax lists for schools. churches,
roads and other purposes valued at

The total valuation of real estate
for 1912 was 52,326, 500, said Mr..
Green, against total valuation for

of approximately IL per cent.

the report continued.
The county land books, 1t was
said, show a total of 20,785 family
units for 1912. To this number, 4,5l5
were added in 1943, bringing the
present total to 25,300. Using the
census basis of 3.6 persons to a
family unit, Arlington would have a
population of 91,080.
Government Property.
The assessed valuation on Gov
ernment acquisitions in the last two
| years has amounted to nearly ST.

resents loss in local taxes of $40,-
500 at the present rate. of S270 per
S100 valuation. Mr.. Green pointed
out that while the loss in taxes is
not serious, the loss in potential
values is indeed alarming"
The property acquired by the Fed
eral Government during the last
two years has consisted largely of
industrial property and other land
that could have been used for apart
ment houses and commercial build
ings, he said.

Montgomery Welfare
Work Is PeriIed by
Lack Of Foster Homes
Stoff Shortage Also
Proving Handicap to
Bourd's Program

A staff shortage and lack of
available foster homes are combining
to endanger the program of the
Montgomery County Welfare Board,
1t was learned today.
Since October, 1941, the board has
been responsible for placement and
supervision of children removed from
their homes because of neglect or
improper home supervision. Officials
said, however, that the agency now
is unable to fulfill this responsibility
because all available foster homes
are filled and new ones cannot be
found
War Work Interferes.
Mrs. Dorothy M Kurtz, executive
secretary of the board, said that
many families willing to offer care
to children under the agency's super
vision are now unable to do SO be-
cause housewives have gone into
nursing or other war work.
At the present time, Mrs. Kurtz
said, 174 children are under the
supervision of the agency, and ID
additional children are being al
lowed to remain in homes which
have been found unsuitable. One
baby is occupying a much needed
bed in a local hospital because
placement facilities are not i'm
mediately available, she said.
Shortage of Workers.
One vacancy on the staff of the
Childrens Division of the Welfare
Board has remained untitled since
November because a qualified work
er cannot be found, Mrs. Kurt2
said. Qualifications for this post
which requires the maximum of
professional skill, are two years
graduate work in an accredited
school of social work, she said.
The work of the assistance divi-
sion also is being hampered by a
shortage of workers, it was said
In this division there are two
vacancies, and third member OF
the staff is unable to work because
of illness.

Fairfax Board Gets
Proposal 10 License
TraiIers in County
Fund Voted TO Match
State Grant for Hike
In Teachers Pay

The Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors yesterday considered a
proposed ordinance to license all
trailers in the county, and to re-
quire trailer camp operators to OBJ
tain operating permits.
The board also voted to match
State funds for the purpose so as to
provide pay increases for county
school teachers.
Fixing public hearing was post
poned until the next meeting so
further study could be given to the
method Of license payment.
The license fee proposed was set
at $24 per annum for each trailer
used for living quarters. Board
members were unable to agree
whether the license fee should be
collected monthly or yearly, Or col
lected on the basis of each trailer
lot.
Under the measure, every trailer
camp operator would be required to
file each month a statement showing
the number of trailers located at
each camp, and the name of the
head of the family living in each
trailer.
Board members pointed out that
ttnnI1coa6 f1so
in the county from which no license
fees or taxes of any kind are col
/ lected and several hundred children
! living in the trailers are attending
the county public schools at the ex-
pense of bona fide residents. Police
and fire protection are also afforded
by the county without compensation.
The proposal was presented by Com
monwealth's Attorney Paul E.
| Brown.
Teachers Pay Fund Voted.
The board appropriated 1880
| from the general fund to be used by
the county school board to match
! State funds to increase teachers
salaries for the remainder of the
school term.
This action was taken following a
| conference between the supervisors
| and a committee headed by Supt
of Schools Wilbert It. Woodson of
local school problems.
Mr.. Woodson stated that school
expenditures for the term will ex-
ceed the original budget estimates
by approximately $4,000. The
deficit is caused by employment
of additional teachers and increased
! costs.
A committee consisting of Super
visors Andrew w. Clarke and Maui
rice w. Fox was named to discuss
the problem with school officials sc
some plan may be worked out II
assure the schools operating for 6
full nine-month term.
