To Alexandria Grant

The Federal Works Agency has in
creased its grant for construction of

announced yesterday. Mr.. Bud
wesky said he would recommend
that the City Council award the con-
tract to the low bidder, Lee Turner

Tuesday night.
The FWA original grant was $46,-

the city. This amount was to cover
the cost of architects fees, construc-
ton and equipment, and was exclu-
sive of the cost of the site, which
was to be borne by the city.
When the bids were opened last
month, the low bid was found to
be Sill .008, approximately $50, ,0OC
above the cost estimated for con-
struction, since the $93 900 allocated
was intended for all expenses other
than the purchase of the site.
Following its appliration to FWA
for an increased gran, the city voted
to increase its original appropria-
tions of $65 900 to $50
According to Mr. BudweSky, work
on the center, which is to be located
in the 500 block of North st. Asaph
street, is expected to start almost

Montgomery Charter
Attacked by Morgan
AS Using Double Talk

The proposed charter for Mont
gomery County is ''replete with con-
fusirg and misleading language" "
according to 10 v. Morgan, former
one-man Board of Tax Appeals for
the District and a member of the
Montgomery County Citizens Com
mittee to Defeat Charter.
AS an example of what he
described as double talk" Mr..
Morgan said one of the charters
provisions states that there shall
be department of education un-
der the immediate direction of the
County Board of Education consti-
tuted as provided by law"
This provision contemplates two
separate bodies, Mr. Morgan said,
the present County Board of Edu-
cation as now appointed by the
Governor which the charter can
not affect under State law, and the
other the useless, new bureaucratic
group called the Department of
Education subservient to or under
the immediate direction of the
County Board of Education. Why
both are needed, no one has yet
explained"
Questions Meaning Of Phrase.
He also questioned the meaning
of the phrase, las provided by law
asking whether it meant that of
the County Council set up in the
proposed charter or the present
State law.
This situation" Mr.. Morgan de-
clared, means the only way that
the County Department of Educa-
ton can grow beyond a small and
useless group of new bureaucrats is
for the Charterites to fight to
amend the State Law as far as the
Montgomery County school system
is concerned, and when they do ac-
complish that, take over the school
system .. Is that the charter
program? No one has said yes, no
or maybe"
Sees Another Conflict.
He said a similar conflict would
exist between the proposed Depart
ment of Health and the State
health officer, the proposed Depart
ment Of Welfare and the County
Welfare Board and the Department
of Finance and the state supervisor
Of assessments.
Experimentation, which the
Charterites are so prone to use"
Mr.. Morgan asserted, "is a less Of
fensive word than bureaucracy, but
:. call 1t what you will, the set-up
in the proposed charter will create
a bureaucracy of the worst type;
that is to say, not only expensive
but confusing as we'll"

esting stories of the circus staff was

enough money to put the boys
through school and buy myself a
lion," he explained. From then on
