approximately 10 per cent in the
area north of the Baltimore g. Ohio

railroad and the remaining 10 per
cent to be unallocated until it is
determined where it is most needed.
The commissioners appointed a
three-man committee to investigate
the acquisition of the sites. The
bonds are to be paid off by a tax on
business property in the area.
Those named are Daniel T. Do
herty, Washington attorney, re-
Gently discharged as a commander

as chairman at salary of $500
per year: James c. McCann, presi-
dent of the Silver Spring Board of
