Mr.. Bruce pointed out that
there were benefits to business

He said ECA issues and makes

actual purchasing to be done by a
European country or its nations,
so that business can take advan-

Montgomery Council
Faces Battle Over
New Library Taxes
By John V. Homer

Disagreement over tax-Support-
ed libraries may give the Mont
gomery County Council a major
fight during the month long legis-
lative session. which opened yes
teroay.
! Bills soon TO be introduced for
a special library tax IN Kensing-
ton. on the one hand. and for
establishment Of a county wide
library system. on the other. are
expected 10 bring the conflict,
Councilman Lewis Merriam. who
lives in kensington. will intro
duee the legislation for his home
community Mrs Dorothy Him
stead of Chevy Chase. a leading
member of the League Of Women
Voters. will propose the county
system on behalf OF that organ
+ iZation.
Two bills were introduced yes
terday at the 27-minute inaugural
session of the legislative period
Both provide for permissive tax
levies for fire departments. One.
| sponsored by Councilman J.
Douglas Bradshaw, is for Bur
louisville, and the second, spon-
sored by P. Garland Lyon. is for
Sandy Spring. Each measure
would permit tax up 10 10 cents
on the 500 valuation.
! The only other business trans
acted yesterday was the adoption
OF rules OF procedure for legisla-
tive meetings. as drafted by
President Frededic P. Lee. The
second session is scheduled at
2 pm. today. in the courthouse at
Rockville. but the major develop
ment of the day is expected in
executive session of the council
rather than the legislative.
| The body is reported ready to
decide on the appointment of a
permanent county manager
Members have refused to disclose
whether they will retain the acting
manager. Irving G. McNayr, or
replace him with one OF the IT
persons who applied for his job
in response to advertisements.
| In the Forthcoming controversy
over libraries, Kensington will
seek enactment of permissive tax
legislation in order TO raise So, 400
in the next fiscal year. This
money would be used to convert
Moves Library from subscrip-
ton organization to a public in
stitution.
The League Of Women Voters
advocate a general county tax for
libraries, with branches estab-
lished in key locations through
out Montgomery. Mrs. Himstead
said yesterday. however. she was
not ready to disclose the exact
provisions of the bill she will in
troduce. Both she and Mr..
Merriam agree that their proposals
will conflict.
The Moves Library. chartered
in 1892, was a gift OF the late
Brainard Warner, a prominent
Kensington citizen. He named it
in honor Of his friend. the late
Crosby S. Moves. former editor Of
The Star. After the latter's death,
the Noyes family set up a $1,000
trust fund for the library.
