a wealth in the State and "can well
absorb the additional taxes,
which she said the League would
like to see based on real estate.
Mrs. G. Neale Bloomer, edu-
cation chairman and Mrs. Dean.
Dinwoodey, legislative chairman
for the League also talked. Mrs.
Bloomer pointed out that there
were only three students from
Montgomery County now attend
ing State Teachers College pre-
pairing to become teachers. She.
urged better salaries and teach
ing conditions that more may be
attracted to the profession.
Mrs. Dinwoodey stressed the
need of an educator as super
visor of school property. Brooke
Johns, president of the board,
thought TIE commissioners should
be in control of all maintenance
that superintendent of schools DIR.
Edwin w. Broome might have his
entire time free for the educational
side of the program. A new law
provides that the Commissioners
appoint an assistant to the super
intendent to have charge of school
property.
County Supervisor McNayr re-
marked that "much unrealistic
thinking had gone into the making
up of budgets" and that the
county had worked for years to
get rid of the political angle Of
school maintenance. He thought
the supervisor of school property
should be a man trained in school
building rather than an "educa-
tor.
A great many letters from var
ious organizations had been re-
ceived by the commissioners back
ing up the request Of the women.
Mr.. Johns promised "the lovely
ladies" full consideration Of their
pleas.
The board meeting opened earlier
than usual, with prayer by Com
missioner Youngblood, dragged
throughout the day, and was not
over until almost P. M. when
after much discussion coming or
dinances proposed by the Park
and Planning Commission were
adopted as advertised. The
amended regulations provide
among other things, hearings four
times a year on applications for
coming changes, instead Of the
present twice yearly.
The board approved issuance Of
bonds totaling $1,50O,000 by the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission. The issue will in
crease the total bonded indebted
ness of the Sanitary Commission
to almost thirty million dollars.
The funds will be used for sewer
and water projects in Montgomery
and Prince Georges counties.
During the morning Fred w.
Heine, trial magistrate clerk in
Silver Spring, asked the board to
pay him 1925 which he thinks IL
due him. He explained that be-
cause he was ain the doghouse
politically" he did not get q raise
to which he was entitled. His
job expires May 1.
A letter from 10 v. Morgan,
Civil Service Commissioner for the
county, protested the order to move
his Office to the Courthouse. 1t
was later decided to inform Mr..
Morgan he was expected TO move
by April l..
Attorney James Miller protested
for his client, the reassessment Of
the Blandy tract of land where a
tourist camp is located. He stated
he thought the front portion
should be assessed as residential
and the valuation of $1,000 an
acre on the rear portion too high.
Wilton T. Allen, supervisor Of as
sessments, told the commissioners
the tract is assessed on the same
basis a adjoining commercial land
on the Rockville Pike $1,000 an
acre for front property, $1,000 for
rear property.

the county employees time to go
to Church on Good Friday, but
business will be conducted as usual
