'Anti-Chorter

Under the setup proposed by the
pending charter the unpaid men,
bers of the County Council are au-
thorized to employ or discharge the
county manager. Five out of the
nine votes would be sufficient for
either action.
The charter authorizes a salary of
$4,000 year for the county man
ager. The county manager is super
imposed by the charter as the ad-
ministrative director of the dozen
departments of the county govern
ment, most of which are new and
will cost additional tax money to
operate. The department heads and
policy determining officials of these
county departments will be under
civil service, which, If it means what
other civil service systems mean,
includes life tenure in Office. Even
the county manager will not be able
to change any of these other depart
ment heads or policy determining
officials as long as they keep within
the normal requirements of what
should be expected to be a normal
civil service system.
Bureaucratic Government Seen.
This means that the result of any
future Montgomery County election,
as far as it concerns the activities
of the county government that are
within the jurisdiction of the char
ter, will be limited to the hiring and
firing of county manager through
the indirect medium of voting
through a majority of the members
of the unpaid County Council. The
life tenure department heads will
continue to behave just as they had
been operating, without regard to
the will of the voters.
The result of the present system
is that when the voters want a
change, reform, a new service of
county government, or curtailment
of an expenditure, they can accom-
pliSh any such result through the
election of new county commission
ers any fourth year.
Home Rule Now.
Every proposed new county law.
that has been supported by the State
Senator and the majority of the
Delegates to the Lower House direct
ly elected by the people of Mont
gomery County, has as a matter of
record been enacted into law
throughout the past 80 years. This
constitutes complete home rule"
To change a law or to enact a new
law under the charater system, it
will be just as necessary to win a
county wide election of councilmen
The present system contains fewer
dangers to the taxpayers and the
voters because they can always
change any political leadership that
they object to. Under the charter a
managed" form of government will
be fastened on the people that the
voters will no longer be able to
change to any real extent or even to
directly influence.

Auditors Proposal
Followed to Simplify
Treusurer's Accounts

At the request Of County Treas
urer Lewis M. Coyrler, the Fairfax
County Board of Supervisors adopt
ed resolution Wednesday combin-
ing number Of tax levies into one
general county levy, in a move de-
signed to increase efficiency of gov
ernment.
The system will be effective at the
beginning of the next fiscal year
July /, and is in line with the sug-
gestion of the firm employed by the
board to audit accounts each year.
Mr.. Coyner explained that the
levies will thus be reduced from %
to 4, namely, county levy, school op-
Grating levy, school debt fund and
the Mount Vernon district road debt
fund.
System Simplified.
The county treasurer said that
under the present system each tax
payment must be broken down in
order to distribute to each levy fund
its proportionate share. Under the
new plan, all taxes collected for
county expenditures proper, except
schools, will be placed in one general
fund. and the amount of each fund
will be determined by ALLEGATIONS
set up in the county budget.
The board also decided that be-
ginning January /, expenditures will
be made by the check warrant sys.
tenn, instead of the county warrant
system. The checks will be nego.

warrant must be signed by tn,

PFC OF THE WEEK


 Taking the cue from the BEAMS featured article, we would like to present series on the Pies of tho Finance Office.
 Foremost among these is that favorite son of Boston, Wild BiM Harrington. Coming to us from the Office of the Collector of Internal Revenue via Greensboro and Fort Benjamin Harrison, he has taken the outfit completely by storm with his wild behavior. In his quieter moments, the traces of his promo tional ambitions are apparent He has thought of such things as run ming a taxi service to Hartford and Springfield, taking in laundry, be- ing put on separate ratlonS and quarters, and running a gaming table. It is the latter field that he shines, Tipping the spotted paste boards with the skill of a veteran admirably schooled in the game of eights. His one vice is a great love for the cinema. Night after night, he may be seen in the day room after evening chow trying to pro mote little company for the long trek. He generally succeeds in drag ging at least one along with him, be the show good or bad. He says little of his private life, but we some strong magnet that draws him back to Boston weekend after weekend, and makes him tremble when the possibility of his having to work on Sunday is mentioned Home cooking?
