County Revenue From Stute
Will Total Over A Million

With the beginning of Governor
Lanes new fiscal program on July
l., Montgomery County will start
to receive 81, 085y548.65 additional
in State revenues annually for the
operation of it's governmental
functions and relief of taxation al
the local level. \
The $1,085, 548.65 is the county's
share of the $20,411 ,348.18 in addi-
tional State revenues to be allo.
Gated each year to the political sub
divisions of Maryland.
Of the $1,O85, 548.65 increase
some of which will be shared by in
corporated towns, $3.50 $4,000 is
for schools, bringing the total re-
ceived by the county yearly from
the State for this purpose to ST.
244, 10000. The new school incen-
tive fund adds another $8O,4l2.OO
yearly.
Additional road funds for Mont
gomery, to be divided among cities
and Incorporated towns on a mile
age basis total sos, 196.70, bringing
the States yearly ALLEGATION for
highway purposes to 1927, 781.69.
The county's share of the State
income tax will be increased by
$7S, 636.61 to 1888, 6S5.47, under the
formula for distribution in Gov
ernor Lanes fiscal program.
From racing revenues, under the
system of distribution now in eff
feet, Montgomery County will re-
ceive $1O6, 327.28.
TIE combined revenues from the
admissions and recordation taxes
and licenses, hitherto retained by
the State but now turned over to
Montgomery County, total $780,
100000. The overall annual total
from State revenues and former
State revenues is now $2,2O2,-
614.44.
Without these additional ieve-
nues 1t would be necessary for this
county to increase the local tax
rate, and for Incorporated towns to
do likewise, to meet the rising cost
of government and school and road
improvements.
This distribution of additional
revenues was made possible by the
enactment by the General Assem-
bly, of 2eS consumers sales tax
which was necessary to finance the
new school program at State and
local level, improve conditions in
the States hospitals and institu-
tons and meet the increases in the
cost of general government.

Commissioners
Name Two To
Assessors Office

The County Commissioners on
Tuesday appointed Henry S. Small
ley of Bethesda and J. William
Garrett of Gaithersburg to fill two
of the three existing vacancies in
the Assessment Office.
Mr.. Smalley is a graduate of
George Washington University
and a former price analyst in the
Office of Price Administration. Mr..
Garrett is lifelong resident of
the county and has served as Chief
of Police. The remaining vacancy
will be filled before July 15. The
vacapcies were caused by the pro-
motion of Assessor Metzger, the
death of John Culver, and the res
ignation of Robert S. Billhimer.
The Commissioners deferred ac-
ton on a suggestion by Wilton T.
Allen that private schools in the
county be assessed next year and
then be given an opportunity to ap-
pear before the Board and prove
that they are operating on nom
profit basis. The question arose af-
ter Mr.. Allen asked that two acres
recently purchased by the Long
fellow School be added to the tax
exempt list.
The Board made two temporary
appointments to Judge Alfred D..
Noyes' Juvenile Court office: Mrs.
Dorothy Zeitz to be assistant to
Mrs. Madeline Fennel, Probation
Officer, for the summer months and
Mrs. Margaret Ertter as office as
sistant. Mrs. Zeitz, qualified So
cial worker, will leave in Septem-
Der for further duty. Mrs. Ertter
held position with the local Draft
Board until it was recently closed.
Washington 1. Cleveland, head
of the County Safety Board, asked
the Commissioners to appoint a
member Of the Police Department
to replace Captain Earl Burdinc
WHO will retire on July 4. Mr..
Cleveland commended Captain Bur-
dine for his work on the Safety
Board and asked that he be re-
appointed as civilian after his re-
tirement from the Police Force.
Upon a motion by Commissioner
Youngblood, an ordinance fixing a
$1,000 fee for licenses to operate a
newspaper vending machine was
adopted.

Down Payments For
Vets Is Required

Taking notice of complaints that
some lending institutions are re-
curing veterans to make down
payments in certain instances on
property purchased under G. l.
loans, Marvin S. Hamlin, Veter-
ans Administration Contact Repre-
sentative for Rockville, explained
today that the lenders may feel in
such cases that their investment is
not sufficiently protected by the
government guarantee.
Or, he continued, they may want
the veterans to risk some OF his
own money so he will have more
interest in retaining his equity.
No lending institution is required
by law to lend money to veteran,
Mr.. Hamlin explained. The loan
guarantee provisions Of the G.. /.
Bill were designed, he added, 10
make it possible for ex-servicemen
and women having limited cash or
collateral to secure loans through
normal channels.
For further information on G. I.
loans veterans should visit either
their nearest VA Office, or any
bank, mortgage lending institu-
tons or building and loan associa-
ton. The VA Office in Rockville is
located on the second floor Of the
Post Office and is open o to 5,
Wednesdays and Fridays.
