Bond |ssueFai|s
To Win Support
|nMontgomery
Federation Refuses
To Make Request
For Funds Now

The Montgomery County Civic
Federation last night refused to ask
the County Commissioners to issue
$3,00O,000 in bonds for school con-
struction. 1t sent back to the
School Committee resolution urg-
ing the commissioners to issue the
bonds.
The action followed a statement
Of County Supervisor Irving G. Nc
Nayr that immediate issuance OF
the proposed bonds would seriously
impair the credit of the county. A
letter to the federation from Will
fred L. Goodwin, jr, member OF
the investment banking firm of
Goodwin g. Olds, upheld Mr.. Nc
Nayrs contention. Mr.. Goodwin
is a resident of Montgomery County.
Mr.. McNayr said it is the inten-
ton OF the board to issue the bonds
before the expiration of the permls-
sive period on December 81, but
that time is needed to work out some
means of bolstering the county S
credit.
He said the Board Of Education Is
not in immediate need OF funds.
By April 80 it will have spent only
$1,139.000 of the previously issued
$1,000, 900 in bonds, he said.
Remaining Funds Cited.
Mr.. McNayr said he feels that the
remaining $4,000 will carry the
board through to the new fiscal year,
starting July 1, when at least a part
of the $4,000, 900 additional authori-
zation can be issued.
The federation asked the Board
of Education to have drawn up ar
chitectual plans for "skeletonlzed
school building, with a view to
comparing costs on such construc-
ton with costs on the same building
IN a complete form.
Wesley I. Sauter, commissioner for
the Bethesda district, has suggested
"skeletonized" school buildings as a
possible means of providing badly
needed classrooms at lower costs. He
has suggested that the buildings
could be completed later by the
addition of brick veneer and other
'frills." Mr.. Sauter is q building
contractor.
Proposal Opposed.
Mr.. McNayr opposed MIR. Sauter's
proposal and the request Of the
federation, on the grounds that tenn
porary structures cost the county
too much in the way of maintenance.
The federation went on record as
favoring publication of real estate
assessment book that would show
the assessment of each parcel of
land in the county. 1t was suggested
that a commercial publisher be en-
couraged to print such book.
The Board of County Commits
sioners was commended for improv-
ing conditions at the county poor
farm. The federation asked that
the farm be abolished II the welfare
services of the county can provide
the present II occupants with
accommodations elsewhere.

.Viers Mill Probers
Study VA Approval
Of $500 Sale Price

A House Expenditures Subcom-
mittee investigating the 1,400-unit
Viers Mill Village dwelling project
near Wheaton, Md, today had be-
fore it a Veterans Administration
officiaps Endorsement of the $8,700
sale price.
The approval Of that price for
the houses offered veterans came
from Morgan B. Callahan, loan
guarantee officer Of VA for Metro
politan Washington.
Mr.. Morgan testified the VA has
made a tentative commitment to
insure $1,000 second mortgages on
the homes, if the houses are built
according to specifications and re-
ceive a certificate of compliance
from the Federal Housing Agency.
At a previous hearing, James H.
Hewitt, director OF the FHA Dis
trict Insuring Of1ice, told the sub
committee the houses will very
definitely be worth" the $500 price.
'Rock a Chimney" Offer.
Another development yesterday
was an offer of $1,000 to any one
who would rock a chimney The
offer was made by Max E. Green
berg attorney for the Harris Con-
struction Co., which is building the
homes.
David B., Johannes. Silver
Spring architect, testified before
the committee a week ago that
chimneys set flush on basement
floors of the homes "swayed alarm
ingly" when pushed.
Mr.. Greenberg's offer came during
Mr.. Callahan's testimony. Chair
man Snyder of the subcommittee
rebuked him for volunteering state
ments when he was not on the
witness stand. Then Mr.. Snyder
added:
There may be some to take you
up on that offer. There are some
people here who have rocked them
(the chimneys). know of a num-
ber of charities who could use that
81 ,000"
Mr.. Greenberg stipulated that the
chimney must be one on which the
mortar has set.
Retained Appraisers.
Mr.. Callahan said he retained five
experienced appraisers to go over
the plans and specifications. He
said they also viewed the site last
January 8. They reported unani-
mously that. if construction was ac-
cording to specifications the value
of the homes would be $8,700.
One of the five was Richard L.
Parli, architect and appraiser. Mr..
Callahan said Mr.. Parli had been
employed by the developers of the
project to draw set of plans for
the houses. He said he ascertained,
before retaining Mr.. Parli, that the
man had not been engaged as super
vising architect of the project.
Edward r. johnson, Government
employe living at 5051 First street
NV, said he visited the model home
at the project and thought it "far
inferior" for the price. He said he
was testifying as a citizen and a
veteran and did not have any
special knowledge of hor.e con-
struction.
The subcommittee will resume its
hearings at 10 am. next Tuesday.

cholera Prevents
Swine Exhibits
AT Benton air

There have been isolated out
breaks of Hog Cholera in parts
of Benton county, Frank Webster,
Benton county extension agent re-
uorted this week. In some local1-
ties the outbreak was so serious
that the Benton Fair association
decided not to exhibit swine at
their fair in Kennewick on the
oath. 25th and 26th of September.
Farmers who have sick hogs
should be very cautious about
visiting their neighbors to see if
they can find out what it is, said
Webster. In some cases the source
of infection can be traced to gar
bage used in feeding. The disease
is carried in from areas perhaps
in the middle west where the di-
sease is more prevalent. Cooking
does not seem to destroy it. The
scraps and trimmings from hons
and side pork are thrown in the
garbage at restaurants and these
in turn are taken to the farm
where the local swine become in
fected. IA
In discussing the problem with
the local veterinarian, the advice
seems to be to vaccinate immedi-
ately after you have noticed the
first sickness in the flock. At this
SINE the serum should be used
Id It will immunize them up to
period of 6 months.
Hog Cholera can be kept from
spreading from farm to farm if
proper care is exercised. The chief
thing is good sanitation, proper
disinfecttion and quarantine mea-
sures. Cooperation of all farm
ers Is very desirable. So, If your
neighbor has sick hogs, stay away
from them. Otherwise, you may
have sick ones ALSO" Webster
said.
