RockviIie's New Wafer Tower
Officially Dedicated Monday

Baltimore. While being built the
tower began to slant so that the
townspeople thought they were 60
ing to have a Leaning Tower Of
Pisa right at home, but it was f.
nally Strengthened out.
Lee Offutt was Mayor at the
time the brick tower was built by
George Cadogan Morgan Of Chica-
go, Hydraulic Engineer. Mayor
Kelly remarked on Monday, "Now
here is a good job for the Rockville
Garden Club-they might beautify
these grounds"
What TO do with the old tower
was also discussed. It was the con-
sensus of opinion that the bricks
would come out clean and in good
condition and that there would be
enough Of them for small munich
pal building. Quarters for the town
Office ara now rented from the Fire
Department.
According to Mrs. Allnutt, the
population has more than doubled
in the past seven years. The census
Of the town in 1910 was 2,047 and
now is 4,795,

Will Cost Million
To Enforce Tax,
Say Delegates
Courtesy Maryland News

The representatives of Montgom-
cry County in the State Senate and
the House of Delegates have issued
a statement attacking the Sales
Tax which became effective in
Maryland on July LIST. The state
ment says in part:
GAIL members of the Montgom-
cry County delegation in the SEN
ate and House of the State Legis-
lature vigorously and continuously
fought the imposition of sales tax
in the State of Maryland. During
the early days of the debate on this
tax, they, together with other OPP
ponents, drew up a substitute plan
under which sufficient funds would
be provided to take the place of the
$18, 100000 estimated income from
the sales tax. 1t appeared that this
proposal would be approved until
Governor Lane and his administra-
ton used every influence at their
command to force the sales tax on
the State. 1t appears that the bill
as finally passed will provide an
estimated income of $1,000,00O less
than at first proposed and that it
will cost $1yOO0,O0O annually for
collection, thus reducing the pros
pective income to $16,40O,0OO. The
proposed substitute tax would have
produced an income of more than
$50, 100000 at an estimated cost of
collection of only about 5000, 000.'
The delegation declares that it
opposed the tax because it will i'm
pose an unfair and unreasonable
burden" upon the business inter-
ests of the County since they will
have to compete with the retail
market in the District of Columbia.
They predict that many small bust
resses will have to close their
doors, all businesses will be cur
tailed and real estate values in
commercial districts will decline.
The delegation points out that it
actively supported the school pro-
gram of State and County. They
state the sales tax is not necessary
to carry out this program. The
statement further says the legis-
lative delegation at Annapolis was
pleased to cooperate with civic and
business organizations of the Coun-
ty as well as its citizens in fighting
this obnoxious tax" and they
would have welcomed the help OF
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee and Of the Democratic lead
er in their campaign against the
tax.
The Democratic leaders of the
County did not at any time oppose
the imposition of the sales tax, the
statement which Is signed by ths
entire delegation claims.

Rockville Firemen
Had Quiet Holiday

The Rockville Volunteer Firs
Department had its quietest week
in history-not one fire call or res
cue squad call-and the Fourth OF
July was included in that week!
Thirty-five bricklayers from the
area of Potomac, Travilah and Big
Pines aided the Rockville firemen
in podging the dance floor and
storage hall on the Carnival
grounds last week. The firemen
greatly appreciated this help and
want to thank the Henderson
Brothers, James Berrier and his
gang, and Sidney Mills, who fur.
nished the mixer. Lucky" Welsh
was the champion mixer of the
crowd. The men also helped in lay
ing blocks, but there is still much
to be done so anyone who can drive
nail or saw board, come down
to the grounds and assist.
The programs will soon go to
press-if you haven't an ad in, get
in touch with Herbert A. Yocom
or Bill Burrows. Books of tickets
for chances on the four automo.
biles have been mailed cut. If you
aren't going to keep the books
please mail them back as the books
are in demand and only limited
number have been made up in com
bination.
