Commissioners Study
Slaughter House Curb
In Montgomery Area

Opposing opinions on an ordinance
to regulate the operation of slaugh-
ter house in the rural area of
Montgomery County were being re-
viewed today by the county COM
missioners.
Nearly 100 county residents argued
the matter at a hearing yesterday
before the commissioners at Rock
vile during which County Agent
o. w. Anderson warned that Wash
ington consumers are buying meat
from Maryland farmers which may
be contaminated because of the con-
ditions surrounding the slaughter
ing.
The ordinance would set a $500
license fee for a slaughter house and
prohibit its erection within 500 yards
of any public road or dwelling. The
move for such an ordinance grew
out of the constructing of slaugh-
ter house only 2 miles from the CEN
ter of GaitherSburg. -.t
Plant to Cost $500.
The slaughter house, 80 by % feet
in size. is being built by the South
ern States Gaithersburg Service,
Inc, and is expected to be completed
in about two months. It is located
on the farm of Herman Rabbit and
will be operated on a 1O-year lease.
1t will cost about $500.
Spokesman for those urging
adoption of the ordinance was Clitus
0. Bordeaux, jr., unsuccessful Dem
ocratic candidate for the Maryland
House of Delegates in the 1916 gen.
eral election, who lives near the
Gaithersburg slaughter house.
Mr. Bordeaux said that the met
ropolitan area of the county has had
an ordinance regulating abattoirs
since 1929 and that adjacent areas
now are more congested than the
metropolitan area was IS years ago
There Is nothing to prevent the
Southern States slaughter house
from expanding" Mr.. Bordeaux
said, "and we have every reason to
believe it will expand unless we are
afforded some protection"
Sees Slaughter House Ban.
He admitted nothing could be done
about the slaughter house near his
home, since construction was started
before the ordinance was proposed.
Mr.. Anderson opposed the ordi-
nance on the grounds it would prac-
tically prohibit the operation of
slaughter houses in the county
He said many farmers are slaugh-
tering cattle, hogs, sheep and
chickens behind their barns under
such conditions that you and I
would not buy the meat if we knew
about them"
While admitting livestock slaugh-
tered in such a manner may be
contaminated, Mr.. Anderson con-
tended that it was perfectly legal"
He said virtually all the meat Is
sold at farmers markets in Wash
ington.
THE Farm Bureau has plans for
a $65, 900 slaughter house and if it is
built, it would be as close to my
home as the Gaithersburg one is
to Mr.. Bordeaux" Mr.. Anderson
said.

of the Arlington Civic Federation

the federation into politics" was
under consideration today by COM
mittee of the organization.
The controversial measure was
offered last night by H. H. Howe

"It (tfe federation) also reserves
the right to support candidates for

not candidates of national political
party"
The action climaxed four-hour
meeting during which the federation
refused to hear read the platform
of the nominees of the School Board
Nominating Convention.
Three members of the Nominal
ing Conventions five-man slate
were permitted to be introduced at
the meeting only after the fedora
ton president, Mrs. Ruby G. Simp-
son, ruled they were exhibits" OF
a special committee.
State Tax ALLEGATION Asked.
The federation also adopted the
following resolutions, which were
presented by Mrs. Florence Cannon
chairman of the Committee on

Urging the County Board to con-
slider d tax on rentals of apartment
buildings and other multi-family
units.
Placing the federation on record
as urging a State tax on cigarettes,
at the rate of l mill per cigarette,
with provision for return of proper
tionate revenues to counties and
cities.
Electric Rates Protested.
The federation also Endorsed the
action of the County Board in ask
ing the Circuit Court judge to order
a referendum at the same time as
the November 4 general election on
100000 bond issue to finance a
trash and garbage incinerator.
On motion of Mrs. Beulah Goss
chairman of the Public Utilities
Committee, the federation voted:
To protest to the State Corpora
ton Commission the lack of a re-
duction in electric rates this year
and asking a rebate to consumers
effective with December bills.
To request the County Board and
the County Public Utilities Com
mission to consider requiring under
ground electric cables in the county
To request the County Board and
the PUG to file a complaint with
the State Corporation Commission,
the District PUG and the Interstate
Commerce Commission seeking re-
moval of discriminating telephone
rates in Arlington.
To request the Arlington PUG to
employ rate expert on a part

This is strictly for people who, by
March Is, must file an estimate Of
their 1947 income tax and make the
first payment on it.
Remember: You're only making
an estimate. You can't know to tine
last penny what your 1s47 income
will be. The Government allows for
some error. That will be explained
at the end of this story.
You'll need Form 1040ES to file
your 1947 estimate tax return.
(Some people, depending on their
case, also will need either Form
1040 or the instruction sheet which
goes with 1t, SO they can check the
tax-table or tax-rate on the back
of them.0
| II your 1947 income will be under
S. 900, you don't have TO work out
the estimated tax step by step.
You'll find the tax on your income
in the table on the back of Form
1040.
Table is Included.
Included in that table is an allow
ance-for under 5000 people-of
about 10 per cent for deductions for
things like charity and medical care.
So they don't have to worry about
claiming deductions, unless they
want to claim more than 10 per cent.
In that case they can't use the table.
They will have to work out their
tax, claiming the deductions they
want.
If you're in the 5000 or over class
you work out your 1947 estimated
tax step-by-step-as you did in max
ing your 1946 return-and find your
tax rate In the table on the back
Of the instruction sheet.

matically can claim deductions of
$500 when they figure their esti-
mated tax.
If they want to claim more than
the $500, they can but-they like
any under-s 900 people who want
to claim more than their 10 per
cent-will have to prove them when
they file their final return In 1913.
Example Is Offered.
Following Is an example Of how
to fill out the 1947 estimated income
tax return. You can take it step by
step with paper and pencil. You'll
have to use paper and pencil, any
way, in figuring your own tax.
You, married, two children, have
weekly salary Of $3.50. For 50
weeks that's $500. Substract your
standard $500 expenses. That leaves
$500.
From the 1890 subtract your
$1,000 in exemptions-you get $500
exemption each for yourself, wife,
two children-and have left $500.
That $500 is the part Of your In
come which is taxable.
Now look at the instruction sheet,
mentioned above.
Where 1t shows income between
$4,000 and $1,000 you'll see the tax
on the first $4,000 of your taxable
$500 is $S40, plus 26 per cent of
the remaining 81 800 over. $4,000.
That rs per cent is $473.20.
You add the $40 and the $47320
for a total tax of $1,31320. But that
is not the tax you have to pay.
There's another step. You deduct 5
per cent of that $1,313.20 tax. The
5 per cent is S65.66.
The $6566, subtracted from the
$1,313.20, leaves $1,247.54. That's
Evening star., 1947-03-08

tween the $l,247.54 total tax and the
$1,164.80 to be withheld from you
is the tax you'll have to start paying
by March Is.
Two Ways Of Paying.
You can pay it in full March Is
or in quarterly installments Of
$23. .18most people pay quarterly
on March Is, June Is, September Is
and January Is.
# you're going to pay In quar-
terly i1stallments, write the $23.18
on line Z. Filling out the rest of
form 1040ES is simple. fAnswer ques-
tions 4 and 5 quarterly, II they ap-
ply to you.)
Tear off the bottom part Of 1040ES,
filed out, ard turn it into the in
ternal revenue collector with the
tax you owe, In installments or in
full.
The Government allows you to
make an error Of 20 per cent In
your estimate. # you discover later
that you've made q larger error,

your estimated tax for ,1947. The
full tax you figure you'll owe.
No Payments Yet.
But you don't have to pay all that
now, or at the end of 1947, because
most of it will be taken out of your
salary by your boss before the end
of 1947.
How much out? You know the
boss is withholding tax OF $40. 40
every week from your $160 weekly
salary. Multiply that $22.40 by 50
weeks. For a total Of 81, ,164.80 to be
withheld from you In 1947. Now,
for the first time, you can pick up
your form 1040ES and on line /,
where it says estimated income tax
for 1947-you write your total tax
Of $1,24754.
Underneath, on line Q, write the
tax your boss will withhold from
you, $l,i64. 80. and subtract 1t from
the $1,247.54. and write the answer,
$92.74, on line 8.

County Jail.
"Jailer NJ. A. Mesa said he
