Democrats Hit
AtCharter Plan
For Montgomery
Resolution Terms
Proposal Unproven
And Dangerous

A resolution bitterly attacking the
proposal to establish a charter form
of government in Montgomery Coun-
ty as a dangerous. unproven and
unnecessary experiment, will be
placed before the Democratic Coun-
ty Congress at an early meeting of
that organization.
The resolution was adopted unan-
imously at meeting last night In
the Jesup Blair Community House,
Silver Spring, of all county Demo-
cratic candidates, members of the
Democratic State Central Commits
tee for the county, the party's cam
paign committees and the precinct
chairmen of the County Congress.
1t was forwarded to Judge Alfred D.
Noyes, chairman of the County Con-
gress, with a request that the con-
gress be convened at an early date
to consider the resolution.
The County Charter Committee
last week filed a petition with the
supervisors of elections asking that
the question of a charter board be
placed on the ballot at the Novem-
ber election.
Call 1t Untried. Visionary.
Declaring that the Charter Com
mittee's plan to substantiate a
charter form Of government In the
county for the present provisions
of State and county law will strike
down both the two-party system of
electing local officials and the pri-
mary election system of nominate
ing local ofhcials in favor of an
unproven and untried experimental
and visionary form of government, {"
the resolution asserted.
Under the present form of gov
ernment In the county Montgomery
County has grown and developed
like no other in Maryland or else
where, and any or every servics
which needs enlargement, improve
ment or creation can and will be
achieved by the people of the
county through the present system
OF elections and plan of govern
ment as has been demonstrated by
the present Democratic administra-
tion.'
The resolution recalled that a pro-
posed charter, described by charter
leaders as the best that they or
anyone else could draft, was "de-
clsively" defeated two years ago by
the voters with "a substantial ma
Jority of those voting in that elec.
ton"
A Political Attack.
1n 1914 the question failed to
carry by 1913 votes out of a total
OF more than 100000
The resolution also accused county
charter leaders with admitting that
their movement is a political at
tack" upon the Democratic admin
istration in the county, rather than
a reform movement"
1t proposes that the Democratic
County Congress declare its opposi-
ton to the proposal to reconsider
the charter question and to "con-
tlnue to oppose any group or groups,
charter or otherwise, which would
deprive our citizens of direct rep
freSentative government"

Mr.. Dugan said he already had
committed himself for a system OF
more direct control of the School
Board.
In county where the number
Of votes cast in the general election
sometimes is not much over 5,O00,'
he said, 'it doesn't take much

or the principal and sometimes a
childs bus riding privileges are sus-
pended for a few weeks.
Mr.. Nichols Is on to all their
tricks. He recalled that the older
children some times try to get free
bus rides, explaining their parents
haven't given them their bus fare.
It always suspect that they've
used the money themselves" the
bust driver chuckled.
Like the other drivers, Mr. Nichols
estimated that he covers about IS
miles day. He rolls through Roll
ingwood, Rock Creek Forest and
Ridgewood Valley, taking children
to and from Leland Junior High,
