Something modern and stream
lined in Police Headquarters is
now in use in Rockville. With all
the walls painted a cream color,
modern lighting fixtures, many of
the old desks polished and covered
with inlaid linoleum, and with
several new metal desks, Mont
gomery County policemen are en-
tirely satisfied with their new To-

Even the hall, which too has been
painted and well lighted, is utiliz-
ed, being used as the entrance for
prisoners from the parking space
in the back of the Courthouse.
This hall also leads to the eleva-
tor which carries prisoners to the
Jail on the fourth floor of the
new Courthouse.

Gated in the old Surveyors office.
In the space formerly occupied by
the Homemakers there is private
office for Chief of Police Charles

The room formerly occupied by
OPA is now the questioning room
for the Detective Bureau, while
the room across the hall, known
in the past as "Judge Hunts Of
fice," is Detective Bureau Head
quarters and has equipment for
taking pictures, finger printing,
etc.
Closets for supplies and storage

Body Of 1t. Adams
Is Discovered

The friends of the late 1t. (j.g.)
Randall B. Adams and of his par
ents, DR.. and Mrs. Henry De-
Coursey Adams, Laytonsville, will
be interested to know that through
the efforts of the Memorial Di-
vision (Graves Registration) of
the War Department and of an
ex-Marine who served in the South
Pacific, the grave of 1t. Adams
has been located.
1t. Adams was Photographic
Officer on the U. S. Carrier Chen
ango and lost his life on January
81, 1914, in a bombing mission
over Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall
Islands. 1t was believed that his
plane went down in deep water,
but now it has been determined
that he crashed on a very small
island known as Anton. Identifi-
cation was made by his Masonic
ring and the usual Identification
disk.
In August, 1914, Ex-Marine
Harold T. Mitchell, Brent, Ala
bama, while strolling on the beach
of Anton Island found in the
wreckage of a plane a ring in
scribed, ar. B. Adams, Fork
Union Military Academy, 1882.
After his recent discharge from
the service Mr.. Mitchell commune
Gated with the Military Academy
and ascertained the name and adj
dress of 1t. Adams parents and
forwarded the ring to them. He
also verified the temporary burial
on Anton and the later transfer
to the well-kept military cemetery
on Ivan, which is a part of Roi
Island. 1t is understood that this
cemetery is TO be moved TO Ha-
waii and that the relatives or
friends Of those buried there will
have the opportunity Of bringing
the remains home.

The Sentinel Gets
Too Many Releases!

The Sentinel is starting a Lii
brary! At least, a small library.
Last week we were asked to in
clude in our 8 page paper the
preliminary draft of the Charter
about IL columns in length a
blast from the county chairman of
the Democratic State Central
Committee, which would have
taken two more columns. These
we have on file in The Sentinel
Office if anyone wants to read
them.
This week we had releases from
the County Supervisor and from
the Charter Board refuting the
charges brought last week by the
State Central Committee. AS The
Sentinel did not publish said
charges, it will not run the de-
malls. These too have been filed.
AS we go to press we have
another release from the County
Supervisor, this time reminding
members of the press that he ask
ed them not to print names in
connection with the statement by
him on Monday. He says, at
was never my intention that names
Of these former county employees
should appear in the press, nor
did l imply incompetence or in
efficiency on the part of such en-
rloyees. l hope the persons
whose names appeared will con-
slider this an apology for such use"
So this week we add three more
long releases to the two we filed
last week and we have used no
names either!

Sanitary Tax
To Remain
At Six Cents

The Washington Suburban SAM
tary District property tax in
Prince Georges and Montgomery
Counties will remain at six cents
per 500 assessed valuation this
year, it was reported yesterday,
not understanding the approval by
the State Legislature of $3,000,-
600 in bond issues.
However, the storm water strain
property tax of 2 cents per 500
assessed valuation will be raised
to four cents because of the
81 100000 bond issue authoriz-
ed by the General Assembly for
the storm drain work in the two
counties.
The two bond issues which have
not affected the tax rate will pro-
vide for the completion of the
Montgomery County incinerator
and other work Of the refuse col
lection division, and for "the pur-
pose of enlarging, increasing and
augmenting the water supply of
the area now served by the SAM
tary Commission, including the
construction or enlargement of any
reservoir, filter plant or pumping
station and all the necessary pipe
lines and accessories"
Because of the large amount of
requests for public borrowings by
other departments in the two coun-
ties, the Sanitary Commission kept
it's storm drain request at the low
figure, Chairman Frank B. Smith
said. The Commission feels, how
ever, he added, that the 81, 100000
is not sufficient for the needs of
the two counties. The money will
be equally divided between the
two counties and proposed projects
will be advertised for public hear
ings from time to time.

Commissioners
Tuesday Meeting
Dull Routine

Not since the present Board of
County Commissioners took office
has the weekly meeting been less
eventful. Much of the day was
spent in reviewing tax appeals.
George A. Pearre, lawyer who
has practiced since 1899 in Fred
erick and Montgomery Counties
spent about an hour telling of his
troubles with, as he called it, zone
cylinder political parasites" Mr..
Pearre's home at Comus is in the
shadow of Sugar Loaf on the line
between the two counties. He said
he inherited two farms and bought.
another. He also bought tractor
and pillow to use on these farms.
And thereby hangs the tale. Every
year Mr.. Pearre gets a personal
property tax bill for the tractor
which he says should be tax ex-
empt because it is used as a farm
implement. Farm implements to
the amount of $500 are allowed
without taxi In rebuttal Wilton
T. Allen, head of the Assessment
Office YEARLY pointed out that all
other tractors in Montgomery are
assessed. One pays tax on horses
said Mr.. Allen, why not on trac-
tor which takes the place of the
horse.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by the Rev. James P. Kerr
from the Boyd Presbyterian
Church. Mr.. Kerr's was the most
picturesque of the prayers offered
to date, as he mentioned the lovely
Sugar Loaf which guards the west
ern approaches and the green
farmland of this county. 1t was APP
parently "Sugar Loaf Day"
Adjourning at a o'clock, the COM
missioners then went into execu-
tive session with the Welfare
Board. AS had been promised, this
was confidential. No information
was available to the press.

Firemen And
Police Give
Fire Warming

Rockville volunteer firemen are
appealing to people in the county
to consider them when they burn
trash on windy days, or in some
other manner start a field or
woods fire.
Rockville is fire tax-free area.
1t is out of the kindness of their
hearts that firemen leave their
places of employment and shops
and dash out to extinguish fires
which, in many cases, carelessness
has caused. During the past week,
many of the regular volunteers
have spent more time out fighting
fires than in their offices. Neither
the firemen nor their businesses
can stand this strain, and it is
only through the cooperation of
residents that the situation can
be alleviated.
Tuesday night Police Chief
Charles M. Orme warned all coun-
ty residents that trash and brush
cannot be burned except between
the hours of 4 P. M. and midnight
in Maryland. A state forestry law
prohibits burning brush before a
P. M.
Woods and field fires at Pooles-
vile, Norbeck, Montrose and other
nearby areas filled the week.
The one house fire during the
week was on Tuesday when a fire
causing $4,000 damage occurred at
the home of DR.. Louis A. Bussler
at Ashton. The fire started from
the furance. After the fire was
extinguished, the family dog "Nel-
lie" was found dead behind the
furance. The animal was evidently
trapped and unable to escape. A
veteran Rockville fireman, Bill
Burrows said that the way the
Sandy Spring firemen brought the
fire under control was an excep-
tionally fine job.
