County Threat 10
Defy TaxLaw
; Areas Ruise Issue
Over Inability to Get
State Aid for Schools

Gov. Lane now has before him
from three Maryland
counties which threaten to defy
a State tax law because Of their
inability to obtain allotments
from the States s20,000,000
fund for schools.
State Senators Louis L. Gold
stein, Democrat, of Calvert
County. and James B. Monroe.
of Charles County.
and Attorney S. Scott Beck, jr..
of Chestertown, representing the
Kent County commissioners, an
nounced yesterday that they had
asked Gov. Lane to call joint
of the Board of Public
Works, the State Board of Educa-
tion and the commissioners Of
the three counties.
The conference would be held
to clear up varying interpreta-
tions of the law which set up the
fund and a subse-
quent unofficial opinion by At
torney General Hall Hammond.
Directive Is Cited.
Pointing out that the grant-in-
aid law included a directive to
county commissioners to levy State
taxes on real estate to repay the
$40, 100000 fund. Mr.. Beck said:
IF the commissioners of Kent
County follow my advice they will
not levy one penny to liquidate
this debt unless the county is able
to share in the benefit"
Senator Goldstein said he would
offer similar advice to the Calvert
County commissioners. Senator
Monroe, explaining that he had
been studying the question, said
he would withhold a statement
until he had conferred with the
Charles County commissioners.
AS matters stand Calvert County
claims it should receive S66,000
from the fund. Charles County
lists $4,000 as it's share. and Kent
County insists it is entitled to
$138,660.
All three base their claims Oh
the contention they have unex-
pended balances from bond issues
sold before the grant-in-aid fund
was approved by the 1949 Gen.
eral Assembly. The law provided
that the State give each county
ST for each SO the county spent
for school construction.
Bill Signed in April.
When Gov. Lane signed the bill
April 20. Calvert County had on
hand 100000, Charles County
$4,000 and Kent a substantial
portion of the money realized
from a $1.000,000 bond issue.
Kent County, however. had
contracted for construction total
ing the entire S1,00O,000 before
April 20, and thus was considered
ineligible by the Board of Public
Works and the State Board OF
Education. ...
This ruling. supported by the
attorney generals opinion. pro-
vided that any money under con-
tract before April 20 was not to
be considered in the grant-in- aid
formula.
Senators Goldstein and Mon
roe said that while their unex-
pended balances had not been
contracted for when the bill was
signed, they had, nevertheless,
been informed by State officials
that their counties also were in
eligible. Both said they did not
understand why.
