Appeals Court Delays
Ruling on Maryland
Reassessmenf Plan
BY the Assesiotsd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 1.-THE
Court of Appeals has deferred q
decision on Maryland's continuous
assessment plan Of property tax
alton, challenged by Calvert
County authorities.
The high court, however. or
dered the Calvert commissioners
to abide by that system for the
time being and proceed with re-
assessment Of property In the
county's first district on the basis
of 1949 values.
The commissioners, arguing the
method worked out unfairly, had
refused to enter the reassessments
and found themselves sharply
called to task for that by Attorney
General Hall Hammond.
They are only aggrieved be-
cause they are being assessed" he
told the appeals court yesterday
as the case was being argued.
They cannot stultify the processes
of governments by absolute in
action" ~
Reconvenes January 10.
The court recessed after the
hearing and announced it would
withhold its decision, perhaps
until after 1t reconvenes jan
uary 10.
ITO expect us to decide the
question this afternoon is more
ridiculous than anything in the
case," Judge Charles Markell OBJ
served at one point.
Appearing for the commission
ers was Attorney Richard Emory,
who said the continuous assess
ment plan by itself was all right.
But he held that u practice and
in the present instance it dis
criminated against the taxpayers
Of Calvert's First District. If
The plan, adopted by the 1e43
Legislature, calls for review Of
assessments every year in one Of
the five districts into which each
county is split. Thus an entire
county or Baltimore City is re-
assessed completely every five
years.
Formerly Used 1912 Base.
During the first five years of
Maryland's continuous assessment
plan, 1912 values were used as
a. guide. The tax commission held
postwar values were artificial.
This year, assessors were advised
to gear their appraisals to 1914
values. Assessments jumped 80
per cent in Calvert County's First
District. The commissioners,
final tax authority in the county,
rejected the proposed reassess-
ments.
Circuit Judge John B. Gray,
jr., ruled they were right.

On Bond Issues
Montgomery Seeks

In Referendum Law
By J. B. Zotmor

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 17.-Legisla-
ton to amend a Maryland law
dealing with referendums on bonds
issued by charter counties was to
be introduced by the Montgomery
County delegation at today's spe-
cial session of the General AS
sembly.
The law now provides that any
bond issue which would exceed
one-quarter of l per cent of a
charter county's assessable base
must be placed before the voters
in a referendum.
Since Montgomery is the only
county having a charter form of
government in the State, it's Off

the county's plans to issue nearly
100000 in bonds for capital
improvements.
Would Strike Out Provision.
The present limitation. it was
explained, would apply to any bond
issue exceeding $850,000.
Today's bill would strike out
this provision and merely permit
county residents to petition for a
referendum on any bond issue.
The all-Republican delegation
anticipates no difficulty in obtain
ing quick approval of the measure,
