Federal Tax Would
Mean Increase In
County Tax Rate

Montgomery County, Tuesday
argued that to make the interest
on county bonds subject to Federal
income tax would be comparable to
placing surtax on local property
taxes. In testimony prepared for
the House Ways and Means Com

county finance director, said the
proposal, if adopted. would make
it extremely difficult if not i'm
possible for this county-to pro-
vide adequately for future capital
needs" The committee is consid-

terest on future issues of State,
county and municipal bonds sub

present such income is tax free.
Mr.. Hancock said Montgomery
Countv's funded debt is $28,615,-
$50. If interest on this debt were
subject to Federal income tax, he
said, the county's interest obliga-
ton for the 1852 year would
be $1,184,040, or an increase of
$532,818. This, he continued,
would mean that the local prop
erty tax rate would be increased
about $1.40 a thousand, or IA per-
cent. Estimating that 20 million
dollars will be needed in the next
five years for new schools, Mr..
Hancock said, "The added burden
on local taxpayers which would be
caused by the taxing of local secur-
tiles for Federal purpose would
make it extremely difficult, if not
impossible, for Montgomery Coun-

NEW WESTERN E
 THRILLING BILL
 AT 10TH CENTURY

"The Secret of Convict Lake, . which is at the goth Century Theatre, sets an entirely new pat tern for western pictures. Scenic ally it. is something out of the ordinary, but it is the story line that lifts this picture above the category of the usual outdoor film. The story of six escaped convicts who elude a posse in mountain |snowstorms and take refuge in a mountain settlement in which on- ly the wives and daughters of gold seeking settlers remain, is true story of fierce and primitive emo ton and stirring action. It is told so logically that it's truth makes strange and dramatic fiction-the kind that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats throughout
 Glen Ford is superb and Gene Tierney sends her glamour to share romantic honors with him. Ethel Barrymore. Zachary Scott, Ann Dvorak. Barbara Bates and a dozen others contribute gripping characterizations which help make the picture as fine western frontier production as the screen has seen in many moons.
