sea of mud which they said resulted
from construction Of new homes in
their neighborhood.

we have no intention of doing any
thing with it," declared Hulst Glenn,
manager of construction for the

Mr.. Glenn said his firm had not
yet heard from Irving G. McNayr,
county supervisor, who has been
instructed to ask the builders to
clean off the road.
I'VE can't clean a road that isn't
there" Mr.. Glenn stated. He
said when his firm began construc-
ton the road was about IL feet wide,
with very light base.
Then 1t was cut for water, sewer
and gas mains" he said after the
winter freeze and subsequent thaw

Charles County Plan
For Schools Expected
To Clear Hurdles
By J. l. Michael
spesial corr.,ponelent of Ih. stor

Special Correspondent Of The Stov
LA PLATA, Md, Mar. 13 -
Charles Countys 100000 school
building program faces unexpected
difficulties, but will be carried out
even though it becomes necessary
to advance the tax rate more than
had been planned.
An announcement to that effect
was issued jointly today by county
officials. Republican party leaders,
and members of a committee named
by the legislature to administer the
program.
The announcement was made,
they explained, to clear up misun-
derstandings2 in connection with the
sale OF 4 bond issue authorized by
the General Assembly last year ID
finance the project. .-.--....--.
!. Tax Date Increased.
Legislative approval of the build
ing plan made issuance of bonds
discretionary with the county com-
missioners. The plan, as originally
drawn, contemplated retirement OF
the issue in 231a years.
This, it was calculated, would have
required a scent advance on a tax
rate of $1.20 per 500. To take care
of the bond issue, and higher teach
er salaries, the tax rate was in
creased this year to s1.35.
Another or 10 cents may have
to be added, Bernard L. Perry, presi-
dent of the County Commissioners
Board, said today because of reluc-
tance of financial interests to carry
bonds longer than 20 years.
Mr.. Perry said the commissioners
expected to approve the 100000
issue Tuesday. He added that he
had conferred with prospective bid
ders and felt confident that the
bonds would be sold on 20-year
basis. He would not forecast what
the interest rate would be.
improvements Approved.
Meanwhile, Thomas B. r. Mudd,
chairman Of the special building
committee, reported that plans were
approved last night for improve
ments to the colored high school
at Bel Alton. Plans for improve
ments at the Pomonkey colored high
school are being prepared by Fred
erick Tilp, Washington architect.
A total of s1S1 900 has been al
lotted for the Bel Alton and Po-
monkey projects. A contract for
construction Of consolidated white
high school here has been awarded
on bid of $577,487. Remaining
funds will be used for repairs to
high and elementary schools, and
to complete additions to the La
Plata school which were eliminated
when bids exceeded available funds.
State Senator James B. Monroe,
who introduced the bill, explained
that the county's share of the $780,
900 expenditure would be approx
mately $250,000. The rest, he said
would be paid from State funds.
