nursing staff of Montgomery
County General Hospital for over
eighteen years, 13 years as super
intendent, has resigned her posi-
ton. She was replaced yesterday
June II by Miss Beatrice Daniels

umbia Hospital who has been sup
ervisor of the Obstetrical Depart
ment at Suburban Hospital, Be-
thesda.
The daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Elbin Leishear of Brookeville, Miss
Leishear felt that the increased
work of an enlarged institution
would be too much for her. She
stated she had no immediate plans
beyond a good rest" She may
later join the hospital staff in an
other capacity, she said.
A graduate of the University
of Maryland, where she was an
honor student, she worked at the
University Hospital for ~ years,

hobbies. Her love for the institu-
ton where she has served for so
long is also outstanding. A tiny
baby crib on her desk has produced
over $500 mostly in silver and
small bills) toward the building of

Council President Frederick p
Lee, after the county measure had
passed, urged opponents to bring a
court test quickly so a decision
may be obtained before the 1850
county election.
Seekers of nonpartisan elections
had taken their plea twice to the
Maryland General Assembly, but
each time the Assembly refused
to repeal the Lindsay Act.
Among the nine laws enacted or
the final day was one authorizing
the County government to take
over refuse collection and its
equipment from the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission.
This bill introduced by Councilman
Bradshaw, was amended to make
il permissible" rather than imam
datory," Mr.. Bradshaw explaining
that he had consulted with the
Commission heads and thought the
transfer could be "worked out"
Other bills passed Tuesday
would: enlarge the area in which
suburban services such as street
lighting and other services are
provided; define the function of
the county finance department and
MAKE a balanced budget manda-
tory in the future; provide for ap-
pointment of a Juvenile Court
committee and puts supervisor of
social work and other court work
ers under civil service; authorize
adoption of laws to control" cats
and dogs; abolish the police civil
service commissioner and police
trial board and transfers their
function to the County Personnel
Board; repeal an obsolete provi-
sion limiting the amount of Jail
fare to S5 cents a day. County
authorities have winked at the old
law but Mr.. Bradshaw who intro
duced the bill, faciciously said it
left the prisoners with the threat
of starvation hanging over them"
Also passed this week were bills
IL and Is, creating Damascus
fire tax area with 10 cent fire
tax rate; and one extending the
Gaithersburg Washington Grove
fire taxing area with a 10 cent

Local Council Promises
Aid To Rockville
Library Funds

All library legislation proposed
1t the 1949 leg. session of
The county council was killed on
Monday, including bills which
would have given tax support to
the Public Library at Rockville
and the Moves Library at Kensing-

set up a countrywide library sys-
tenn.

the liveliest debate of the month.

tenn. She said she is convinced the
county is net prepared to bear the
additional tax necessary and said
she believes a study of the subject
By experts is desirable. The coun-
Gil concurred unanimously.
Councilman Lewis Merriam then
made an appeal for the approval
of his bill to authorize a special
tax in the Kensington area for
benefit of the Noyes Library. Adj
vocating the extension of home
rule, he declared the Kensington
community favored his bill. Fail
ure to approve it, he warned, may
lead the Kensington Town Council
to convert the library into NUM-
cipal enterprise and also to ask
that the General Assembly enlarge
the towns area by annexing from
the county.
Frederic P. Lee, president of the
council, said Kensington would not
be deprived of home rule by re-
jecting the bill, since the Town
Council could follow ,Takoma
Parks plan of levying local taxes
for its library.
Mrs. Himstead's motion to table
the Merriam bill, and thereby NJ
it at this session, was supported
by Councilman ]. Douglas Brad
shaw, A. R. Selby, Lyon and Lee.

ley voted against the motion.
Mr.. Kelley moved to table his
own bill for the Rockville library
for a different reason. He said he
has been assured by town author
tiles that the local council will be
