Corning Letter Urges
Parents 10 Cease
Boycott Of School

School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
has sent q letter to parents who
have been keeping their children
out of the Browne Junior High
School annexes. Blow and Webb
Schools, asking them not to make
their children victims" of a dis
pute with school policies.
However. when school opens Mon
day after the Christmas holidays,
parents probably will continue to
boycott Blow and Webb Schools in
protest over the transfer of the
buildings from white to colored
pupils, spokesmen for the parents
said today. The boycott has been
in effect since December 3, shortly
after the transfer by the Board OF
Education became effective.
DR.. Corning's letter, which also
was signed by Dr. Garnet c. Will
kinson, first assistant superintend-
ent in charge of colored schools
said in part:
Since every day of the school
year is important. it follows that
continued absence is sure to retard
seriously a child's progress in school
as in the case of some children who
already have missed one-third OF
the days in this report period.
ut is the parents responsibility
to send his child to school regularly
Even though a parent may not agree
with established school policies, he
is not relieved of the responsibility
to send his children to school. At
the present time, some patrons of
the Browne Junior High School OBJ
ject to the use of Blow Webb
Schools as temporary relief to the
over -crowding of Browne, until the
completion of the Miller Junior High
School, contract for which was
awarded December 9, 1947, at a
contract price of $1,626, 400
The letter continued:
Opposition to this temporary
measure, however does not relieve
any parent of the responsibility to
send his child to school each day.
Neither will such opposition accom-
plish the work which children should
be doing in school. The children's
welfare should prevail. Your chill
dren should not be the victims"

AgreemeRtK
Water Mans
ConnectionFee
Maryland Rotes
Increased in Pocts
With Plumbers

The cost of making new water
and sewer connections to properties
along improved streets and high
ways within the sanitary district Of
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties will be increased under
program by the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission.
This was DECIDED yesterday by
members of the commission in
reaching an agreement with the
Washington Suburban Master
Plumbers Association after a
months discussion on procedure in
making new connections.
In agreeing it would take over
the water and sewer connections in
improved streets. the commission
announced 1t now will charge s225
for making average-size pipe con-
nections 10 water mains and $3.50
for sewer connections
The rate previously had been
S42.50 for each connection, but this
was only for making connections
from the mains in the streets to the
property lines. from which point
plumbers then carried the lines to
the houses, the commission stated.
Plumbers to Connect All.
Under the agreement, the plumb
ers will make all connections in
new subdivisions and from unim-
proved streets and highways, the
commission reported
The increased cost to be charged
by the sanitary commission is due
to the fact that all work will be
done in improved streets, a COM
mission spokesman said. The law
requires the commission to make
uniform change, regardless of the
length of pipe to be constructed or
the location, he added.
On the other hand, the commits
sion announced. the plumbers should
be able to do their work along the
unimproved streets at much lower
cost. This would be possible because
there is no expensive paving to cut
or replace and in most cases, the
streets will be narrower, it was
pointed out.
Permit Tangle Led to Plan.
About IS per cent of the new con-
nections will be subject to the new
Sanitary Commission rates, the
commission disclosed.
The discussion about procedure
started when the Plumbers Asso-
citation objected to the necessity Of
obtaining permits from the State,
counties or municipalities to cut
into their streets. The Maryland
Legislature last month adopted a
law authorizing the Sanitary Com
mission to discontinue making con-
nections at it's discretion and turning
the work over to the master plumb
ers.
The commission yesterday an
nounced an increase from IA cents to
18 cents per lineal foot in front foot
benefit charges, effective tomorrow.

Budget Of S3,2n,7R
Voted in Alexandria,:
Tax Action Deferred

The Alexandria City Council last
night adopted the $3,227,749 budget
it originally proposed for 194s but
deferred action on tax increases
necessary to meet the record budget
expenditures.
Several attempts to make minor
changes in the budget before final
adoption were defeated. No move
was made to restore to the budget
more than $4,000 that was cut
from the school boards requests,
even though the school board men,
bers served notice at the hearing
that they planned to operate on
their original budget. They will try
to make up the difference. they ex-
planned, by requesting a supple
mental appropriation when the al
located funds are depleted.
Col. Everett A. Hellmuth, chair
man of the Finance Committee, ex-
planned after the meeting that the
city could operate on late receipts
under the 1947 levy or float tenn
porary loans until provision is
made by the council for raising l94e
taxes
Hearing Lasts Five Hours.
The proposed increases from $3.50
to s2.75 in the real estate tax and
from $3.50 to $500 on personal
property taxes were deferred at
least IS days. Consideration. of the
new business license tax plan out.
lined last month was deferred sc
days after merchants protested they
wanted more time to study the
measure.
Final adoption of the budget came
after a five-hour public hearing.
The council told Supt. Of Schools
T. C. Williams, after hearing his
plea to restore $4,000 to the schoo
budget, that the only cut made
from the school budget was te
limit all teacher salary increases
10 5000. The requests made by
the School Board provided for in
creases of around 1925. The city
heads took the position that the
teachers fell in the same category
as all other city employees. who also
were limited to 5000 increases fol
1948
IF there is a deficit in 1913 it viii
be because you give the teachers
more than a 5000 raise" Col He'll
muth told Mr.. williams.
Urges License Tax Delay.
The 30-day postponement on thu
license tax proposal came after
Andrew w. Clarke, representing thu
retail merchants, contended that al
this time the city does not know
how much revenue 1t coulo
anticipate under the new tax plan
A rate for the new plan, which is
based on gross receipts. he ex-
planned, would depend on how much
business the merchants could be
expected to do int948. This cannot
be anticipated, he pointed out, until
there is some breakdown of 1947
business license revenues.
The budget adopted last night
represents an increase Of $744, 1856
over this years budget.
