E. M. Fry, Bethesda real estate
man and a former president of the
Real Estate Board, who initiated the

to $4,000 rental units would be
needed in the county within five
years.
Most pressing need now, Mr.. Fry
said, is for one-room, kitchen and
bath apartments for persons making

We've got to do something for
people who can pay rentals of from
s45 to $50 a month";" Mr.. Fry de-
clared. There are thousands of
such units in Washington, but prac-
tically none in Montgomery
County"
Mr.. Fry disputed a recent con-
tention by county Civic Federation
members that apartments result in
a loss to the county since not
enough taxes are received from
them to cover the expense of police
and fire protection and schools re-
quired by apartment residents.

of New York
The Bowman distillery, makers Of
the Virginia Gentleman whisky, is

County.
A. Smith Bowman, sr., head of the
firm, had written Mr.. Luckman that
he had put a grain conservation plan
into effect on October 9, and he
offered to continue it until next
June 80. Under this plan, the dis
tillery would operate at about half
its capacity, just enough to produce
the wet mash needed to feed the

Billfor Hospital
Funds Planned
In Montgomery
Delegation to Offer
Legislation to Allow
Use Of County Money

The Montgomery County Com
rlissioners have requested th'
county's legislative delegation tt
introduce bill at the approaching
special session of the General AS
sembly to authorize the commits
sioners to provide financial assist
ance to Suburban Hospital
Bethesda.
The action was taken last nigh
at meeting of hospital repre-.
sentatives, the commissioners ane
delegation to the legislature.
The meeting was the second hele
by the three groups in the last
two weeks after hospital official.
disclosed the institution faces 9
record deficit of more than $4,000
this year.
Arthur G. Lambert, president o1
the hospitals Board of Directors
said there was some discussion
whether the county should pur-
chase the hospital as is being done
in Prince Georges County. Nc
definite decision was reached, how.
ever, Mr.. Lambert said.
Charity Load Cited.
He explained the institution
deficit has been accumulated ovel
the last four years largely because
of the county's failure to pay the
cost of caring for INDECENT patients
certified by the commissioners.
Another reason for the deficit, he
explained. is the fact that indigent
patients certified by the commits
sioners constitute only about hall
the charity load carried by the hos.
pital. At present, he said. the county
pays Sc daily for each INDECENT pa
tient certified to the hospital, while
the total cost for such persons il
$13 day.
Before July of this year, he said
the county paid only 81 daily.
He pointed out that If the county
had paid the full cost of indigent
patients last year, it would have con-
tributed S27 900 instead of the $1,000
actually paid to the hospital.
Points to Alexandria.
"If the county would contribute
about s50,OoO this year." MI. Lam.
bert declared, land would pay the
full cost of hospitalizing indigent
patients next year, the hospita
would be able to run in the black
with the aid of private contribu-
tions."
He said Alexandria pays its hospi-
tai a lump sum of 100000 annually
in addition to 1881 day for each
charity patient while Prince Georges
County appropriates 100000 a yeal
for the Prince Georges General Hos
pital in addition to pay So day fol
INDECENT patients. He added that
such practice is common through
out the country
1t was decided that special legis-
lation is needed to permit the county
to appropriate public funds to the
hospital, since the institution is pri-
vately operated.
Mr.. Lambert said representatives
of the three groups will hold no fur
ther meetings until after the special
session.

Montgomery Sheriff
Proposes Pay Raises
For His Six Deputies

A proposed schedule of salary
increases for the six deputy sheriffs
in Montgomery County has been
submitted by Sheriff Frank Davis
to r. Duncan Clark, a member OF
the county delegation to the Gen.
eral Assembly.
Under the proposal, Chief Deputy
Hugh ODonnell, who now receives

expenses, would get $3,400 a year
plus the travelling allowance.
Deputies Lawrence Price and H

Mr.. Clark SAID he recognized the
inequity of the deputies present
salaries, in view of what other
county employees are getting, and
promised to take the matter up
with the rest of the delegation with
a view to introducing legislation at
the coming special session of the
legislature
Declaring the deputy sheriffs
salaries are set by law, Mr.. Clark
said he is considering a bill which
would give the county commission

For Bond Voters
Nov. a Referendum
Will Decide County
Issue Of $500, 900

Detailed plans are available today
for proposed Arlington County in
cinerator, which will be built if vot.
ers approve 100000 bond issue
at referendum November 4.
The incinerator, which would be
situated behind the Arlington sew
age treatment plant near the A. B.
& w. Bus Co. property. would house
two refuse furnaces with a combined
rated capacity of 300 tons every a
hours.
A statement by County Man.
ager- A. T. Lundberg. based on
data assembled by r. M. Writ,
sanitary engineer, and the Santa
tion Division of the Department of
Public Service, said that in the last
year the county had disposed of ap-
.proximately 135 tons of trash per day.
With the collection of that amount
OF refuse, tn ecounty manager said,
the proposed incinerator would be
operated 10 to II hours a day. AS
the amount of refuse increased the
working hours would be heightened.
with the maximum possible load Of
300 tons in full day
The site for the incinerator was se-
lected for two reasons, Mr.. Lund-
berg said: Excess gas at the sewage
treatment plant can be utilized and
therefore will save fuel costs, and
the terrain is ideally suited" to
needs. He explained that high ele-
vation is desirable on one side of the
plant, to permit accessibility to the
charging floor, while low elevation
is desirable on the other side to
accommodate the ash removal tunnel.
Cost factors in the construction of
the proposed plant, Mr.. Lundberg
said. are the building itself, fur
naces, chimney, crane. auxiliary
equipment, access roads, drainage
facilities, land acquisition and plan
preparation. Costs were estimated
several months ago at S750,000.
Will Delay Some Items.
"It should be noted" Mr.. Lund-
berg said yesterday that the
amount of $750,000 considered for
these Improvements in the bond
issue vote of May included items
pertaining to sewage-sludge incin-
Grafton and housing in connection
Herewith. These items are now to
be deferred until such time as the
needed sewage plant engagements
are undertaken.
THE sludge incineration items
were estimated to cost $150,000 and
by their elimination at this time the
estimate for the refuse incinerator
is reduced to $600,000.'
The county manager added, how
ever, that f1uctuating construction
costs may affect the final cost fig
ures by the time bids are let, If the
project is approved in the referen-
dunn.
Mr.. Lundberg pointed out that in
