County Council
Approves A Record
Breaking Budget

Continued from Page
The county school appropriation
is about $4,000 less than the
amount recommended by the coun-
ty manager but is approximately
$650,000 more than last years
figure.
The council pointed out that SLIT
of the $1.90 tax rate is required
for school operating expenses tan
increase of 9 cents over last year,
and an additional % cents al
located for payment of principal
and interest on school bonds. The
increased cost of operating the
school system, the council ex-
planned, reflects the constantly in
creasing enrolment.
The $7.3 million allocated for
school construction in the capital
budget includes $365,000 for the
purchase of the Bliss Electrical
School, Takoma Park, to house the
Montgomery Junior College. The
college now occupies war surplus
buildings next to Bethesda Chevy
Chase High Schol. 1t also uses
facilities of the high school.
Among other appropriations
are: Police, $713,075, including
funds for eight additional police
men, IS new police cars, 80 part
time school crossing guards, a new
radio transmitter and salary in
creases for present members of
the force.
Public Works Department, $685.
$3.50; Health Department, $245,213;
Welfare Board, $196,190; Finance
Department, $2S9,437; and In
spection and Licenses Department,
$59,120.
In a statement accompanying
it's 46-page appropriation reso-
luton, the council said the county's
financial standing "has greatly
improved during the past year"
The group attributed this to (D
the reorganization of the county
government under its charter, GU
paying Off all bonds and other obli-
cations as they became due, and
(3) retirement of all outstanding
short-term Indebtedness.

 It was Hollywood night, too, and Jim Baxes night and money-in- the-bank night. The Stars whipped second place Oakland for the first time this week, 5 to 3, thereby boost ing their lead to three games. Baxes home run with two aboard in the eighth inning decided the issue.
 At Seattle, meanwhile, the third place San Diego Padres posted their first triumph of the week too-over the scrappy s attle Rainiers. Sparked by Milt Nielsen's triple, the Padres also rallied in the eighth inning and won, to 8.
 San Francisco took an undisputed hold on fourth place by holding off the Los Angeles Angels and beating them, 5 to 3.

TOP e
 3-2 TO TAKE
 FIRST HALF

In a slam bang, hot-tempered, rain-delayed pitchers duel last night the Elks emerged victorious over the Coast Guard 3-2 to take the title for the first-half of the Gastineau Channel Baseball league.
 The slam-bang was provided by a homer and a double by Doris for half the CG's hits and an assort- ment of IA hits by both teams.
 The hot-tempers were by both teams but mainly by Elks protesting calls by the umpire. some close and some not so close.
 The pitchers duel was provided by Krause for the co and Palmer of the Elks. Krause struck out five and Palmer seven for grand total of 12 batters. Only seven men reached first via walks, three off Krause and Palmer four, three of which came in the top half of the seventh inning. The bottom half ot the seventh was not played.
 Even the rain had to get into the act, delaying the game for Is min utes at TAO o'clock, at the end of the fourth inning. However, the game started again and the rain let up until everyone had time to go home.
 By winning this game the Elks decided the race for first spot in the first-half of the league play. A loss by the Elks would have neces- sitated a playoff game. No team ever was more than two games in the lead in the race for the title and the Coast Guard occupied first place for short time only with the Elks coming through in the tight spots to win back the top spot. No team had the distinction of hay ing resided in all three spots al- though the Coast Guard at one time was tied with the Moose for second and third spots.
