Debt Limit Increase,
.80ther Bills Planned
For Montgomery
Ru r. Znkmnn
By J. B. Zotmon
Stor Sioff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. mime bills
to implement Montgomery County's
new charter government, one of
which would raise the county's
bonded debt limit from to 10 per
cent of its assessable base, will be
introduced next week in the Gen.
eral Assembly
Details of the various measures
were agreed on during a four-hour
closed conference here last night
between the County Council and the
countys all-Republican legislative
delegation. Also present was Acting
Count; HI2ne~er Irving c. McNayr
Delegation Chairman Anders R.
Loftrand, jr., said some of the bills
already have been prepared. while
finishing touches will be given the
remainder by the end of the week.
According to Mr.. McNayr. the pro-
posed debt increase over the per
cent prescribed in the charter would
enable the council to issue about
$11 900, 900 in additional bonds.
Other Proposed Bills.
Other proposed bills would:
l. Repeal a local law dealing with
functions of the Maryland-N National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, such as building and elec-
trical inspections, zoning and the
filing of street and subdivision
plans
2. Place Montgomery under q
Statewide law giving all counties
power to draft their own zoning
and planning regulations.
3. Give the County Council au-
thority over electrical and building
inspections.
4. Transfer all planning commits
sion employees now engaged in these
duties to the Council.
5. Transfer garbage and trash COL
lection from the Washington SUBJ
urban Sanitary Commission to the
council.
6. Authorize the Council to en-
ploy experts to examine the sani-
tary commissions fiscal operations
Ito provide a better understanding
of its finances and needs"
Lindsay Law Repeal.
7. Repeal the Lindsay law, which
prohibits nonpartisan election of q
County Council in any county hav-
ing a charter form of government
8. Give the County Council title
to the Silver Spring Liquor Dis
pensary Building, now vested in the
county Liquor Control Board.
After the session Mr. McNayr an.
nounced he would issue a detailed
statement on the county's fiscal
condition in about two weeks.
Some of the proposals, such as
the Lindsay law repeater and those
dealing with the Park and Planning
Commission, were introduced at the
1947 session of the Legislature, but
failed. largely because of strong op-
position by the Democratic ma
iority.
