The Sentinel Sums Up

The Sentinel would feel like traitor to its readers
whom it has served since 1855 if it did not emphasize
the dangers of change of government at this time
we DO not claim have perfect setup but under the
present the county has become prosper
GUS and nice place TO live that hordes of persons
from other states hove here to live-why should
those people who have lived here short a time be
urged 10 vote Tor change of government before they
actually know what it is all about?
The present board of county commissioners have
not done too bad joband would have done still better
had they not been constantly harassed-hey have two
more years to serve.
Do our economically minded citizens of the county
realize that we will be paying those five commissioners
until the end OF the term for which they were elected
not functioning? '
should charter be adopted and the affairs of the
county thrown into litigation still heavier burden will
De tnrown on the shoulders of the taxpayer Farmers
can III AFFORD another tax hke-they would do well TO
think this over seriously before going to the polls

OCIODeT 20, iJ4O.
To the Editor:
One official in the County argues
against the home-rule Charter be-
cause it will continue whole-county
government as it is today, instead
of creating special-area govern
ment, and thereby will also con-
tinue the time-honored practice of
spending the public's money ac-
cording to public need. People who
believe in the good of Montgomery
County as whole, who believe
that lateral road system in the
northern section is as important
to whole-county welfare as a street
in Bethesda, are grateful that the
Charter does not permit separat-
ism and sectionalism such as has
been proposed by Charter oppo-
nents.
Another official rejects home rule
because he says he is states
Fighter" That's why he should IA
vor it The Charter would give to
the local citizens what MARYLAND
as leading states right State has
so jealously guarded on a Federal
level-cOnstitHtional home r7tIe and
decentrGLized government.
To succumb to the argument
that charter might not settle all
the issues of county government
will be to disregard the funda-
mentals of home rule and r. Go
American history. Did the thirteen
colonies reject the Federal Consti-
tuition because it wasn't perfect?
OF course not! They adopted it and
then Immediately strengthened it
with amendments. Did the Consti-
tuition or government it created
dissolve in confusion" because ir
was fought and challenged in the
courts? Of course not! Will we
have confusion, disorder, or any
of the things predicted on the
"iffy" basis by few legal practi-
TONERS should sections of OUR
county constitution be subjected t.,
court tests? Of course not!
Why are some people so afraid
to let Montgomery County citizens
rule themselves at home?

We Are Inclined To Aqree

Mrs. Jesse W. Nicholson, in letter to the Sentinel,
says in part:
AS resident and taxpayer in Montgomery County
for over 40 years. | opposed to the proposed
charter because of the duplication and confusion which
Will arise If the charter becomes law. not fooled
by all the extravagant claims by the charter committee
OF local setgovernment etc, for the county, for we
have that
1T has been astonishing to all of old residents
to see newcomers not having cast their first
vote, making house-o-house canvass talking charter
to residents like myself who have lived here for over
quarter OF century and who here because of the
beautiful surroundings the quiet country fe the good
roads and schools.
A of which did not just happen-but has come
about because of foresight and forethought of the
leaders of Montgomery County who have made the
county what it is today.
This is no time to make change which would be
bound to be expensive and confusing 1t is time for us
to use our heads and not be fooled by headlines and
propaganda from those who would profit at the expense
OF the taxpayer ! urge every taxpayer and voter to
go to the polls November and vote against the pro-
posed charter"

What Charter Won't Do

We should bear in mind that if the charter is
adopted only portion of the functions of local Govern
ment will be placed under the control of locally elected
offclals The important work of building inspection
control over zonng building codes, public recreation
sewerage water drainage garbage and trash collection
liquor control and education will still be controlled from
Annapolis by Governor-appointed boards and commits
sions.
Some OF the best legal minds in the county have
pointed out questions of legality that will almost mme-
diaey be raised should charter be adopted They are
convinced that all matters such as a County Manager
central purchasing merit systems home rule and other
phrases OF the charter supporters be realized under
the existing constitutional government Indeed some of
these are already functonng thus obviang the neces
sy OF changing completely form of government in
the county

Take A Look At Charter

According to proponents of the proposed charter
Tor Montgomery County, the charter, which will be
voted on at the November election, is plan for re-
organizing and improving the Montgomery County gov
ernment It's two main provisions are Home Rule and
County Manager.
Home Rule means that the laws governing Mont
gomery County will be made in Rockville by seven
member County Council instead of at Annapolis by leg
isators from % counties.
Home Rule means that public notice will be given
the people OF the county on proposed laws with oppor
tunlty for open hearings before passage
Home Rule means delegates to the State Assembly
will have time to devote to statewide problems
The County Manager will be trained efficient and
impartial administrator who will carry the decisions
OF the Council He will be hired by the County Council
at salary not to exceed $4,000 and may be dismissed
by the Council at will after public hearing.
Charter becomes law in 80 days after adoption
1he present County Commissioners will form a County
Council until special election is held 35 days later
candidates will be nominated by petition to serve until
the next regular election for county officials
