Montgomery Citizens
Urge Point for Study
In Zoning Decisions

The Montgomery County Civic
Federation last night questioned the
financial value of apartments to the
county and asked the county COM
missioners to consider the point in
passing of future application for
apartment rezoning.
Meeting at the Bethesda Elemen-
tary School, the federation also
asked the board to provide a cur
rent, official record of assessed
valuation on detached houses, apart
ment buildings and industrial prop
erty. 1t recommended a study of
county revenues and expenditures
as related to each type of property
The federation acted after a re-
port of the Committee on Public
Finance and Budget presented by
Francis M. Defandorf. The COM
mittee limited its study to the cost
OF providing public education to the
children of one-family dwellings, and
the children of apartment house
dwellers. They considered this justi-
fable because most of the countys
property tax dollar is used to support
the public schools. The county
property tax rate Is $188 per S10O
Of assessed value. OF this. s1.37 or
73 per cent is set aside for schools.
the report points out.
Statistics Reported.
The committee found a total of
1912 occupied family units in the
apartment buildings of the suburban
area of the county and 1879 de-
tached homes in the area. On the
basis OF an actual count of school
children living in each type of con-
struction it was found that:
l. For every pupil from apart
ments in public schols in the sub
urban area there are 3.3 apartment
units or 80 pupils per apartment
unit.
2. For every pupil from detached
homes in public schools in the same
area there are 1.8 detached homes
or So pupils per detached home.
Other committee figures purported
10 show that on the basis of assessed
valuation, taxes on detached homes
supply much larger proportionate
snare OF education costs than taxes
on apartment units.
Road Project Favored.
1t concluded its report with this
statement: In short, the assessed
valuation per pupil from apartment
units in the suburban area falls
short Of the required $1O,7OO bv
$4,000. On the other hand the as
sessed valuation per pupil from de-
tached homes in the suburban area
exceeds the required assessed valua-
ton by $l,700. These figures lead
to the conclusion that the construc-
tion of apartments. II not proving;
detrimental, at least may not be
proving beneficial to county
finances" -.
The federation went on record
being In favor of the immediate i'm
provement of Wisconsin avenue from
the Bank of Bethesda north to Glen
brook road and urged the county
commissioners to cooperate with the
State Roads Commission in working
out the details for the project.
A proposed new electrical code
drawn up by the Public Safety Com
mittee with the aid of officials of
the Bureau of Standards was rec
commended by the federation for
consideration by the Board of
County Commissioners and the
County Electrical Contractors Asso-
citation.

Bill 10 Permit Serving
Cleo 10 Armed Forces

The House Armed Services Com
mittee today approved bill to per-
NIT the serving of oleomargarine to
members Of the armed forces, pro-
vided they are told it Is margarine.
The action came on a bill by Rep
resentative Anderson, Republican,
of California, approved several
weeks ago by a subcommittee. Rep
resentative Cole, Republican, Of
New York, offered the amendment
to make sure the men know what
they are eating.
Chances of the bills passage at
this session are slim, however, be-
cause the dairy-butter interests
which have fought repeal of Fed
eral margarine taxes also oppose
this measure Under present law,
only butter may be served soldiers,
sailors and airmen as spread.
Meanwhile another dairy State
Senator struck at the House ap-
proved bill to end Federal oleo-
margarine taxes and suggested that
"other and less logical taxes be re-
moved first.
Senator Mccarthy, Republican. of
Wisconsin, in q statement said the
tax repeal would hurt the dairy
farmers, increase the prices of milk
and meat and benefit only the mar
garine manufacturers.
''Why not remove the luxury tax
on kitchen stoves to help young
couples get started?" was the Sena-
tors alternative proposal.
But, he said, If the margarine
taxes are repealed there should be
n provision to safeguard the con-
sumner. He suggested coloring mar
garine a much deeper yellow" than
its rival, butter. This suggestion
already has been advanced by other
dairy-butter hackers, but margarine
tax repeal proponents call it i'm
practical and just another way Of
killing tax repeal.
