county had the power under the
act allowing counties. under GER

sessment Office.
The county treasurer bases his
appeal on section of the Virginia

Maryland Tobacco Averages
47.4 Gents on Opening Sale

1.-THE difference resulted from
the fact that farmers, following
custom, marketed fair and low
qualities in volume and left good
grades at home. Offerings of the
lower grades were considerably
heavier yesterday than on open
ing day last year.
Mistake Suspected.
Some warehousemen estimated
the volume of such qualities COM
Eprised at least four-fifths of the
total sold. They added that farm
ers may be making a mistake in
following this practice because
several large buyers Of these grades
have not yet arrived in Maryland.
That may mean that low grades
will bring higher prices later.
General Manager Paul MacKie
of the tobacco cooperative point
ed out that France, once one of
the heaviest users of lower grades,
has recently obtained $500 900
from the Economic Cooperation
Administration for the purchase
of Maryland tobacco. Recently,
Spain bought heavy shipment
lof type 80 of several grades. 1t
was the first sent to that country
in many years.
All tobacco sold yesterday was
in brittle condition owing to cool,
sunny weather. Because of this.
new offerings are coming in slowly
and light sales volumes will pre-
vail until a damp atmosphere
makes the leaf pliable enough to
handle.
Highlighting yesterdays auc-
tons was the first successful sale
at the long-jinxed Wayson's Cor
ner Market in Anne Arundel
County, few miles from Upper
Marlboro. Heretofore, few buyers
for big companies have showed
up at this warehouse, which is
now managed by j. Irving King
of DavidSonville.
They were on hand yesterday in
numbers similar to those at other
markets, and they bought 10000
pounds at prices virtually indenti-
al with those paid elsewhere.
The average price reported by
all but three markets was around
48 cents, but Ascent round"
prices at two Hughesville auctions
dropped the general average.
Singularly enough, the days high
est average, 48.9 cents, was re-
ported by the third warehouse in
Hughesville.

Fairfax County Wins
Sewer Bill Dispute
lover Falls Church

About 200 home owners in Fair
fax County whose properties are
connected to the Falls Church
sewer system must pay their sewer
service charges to the county.
This ruling was made by Judge
Paul Brown in Fairfax Circuit
Court yesterday in a suit filed by
some residents to determine which
of the duplicate county-city bills
they should pay.
Appeal Is Filed.
La Rue Van Meter, Falls Church
city attorney, appealed the de-
IciSion.
The dispute arose last summer
when Fairfax County began send
ing sewer bills to residents of Wal
nut Hills. Poplar Heights. Donna
Lee Gardens, Fairfax Terrace and
Timberlane. The subdivisions are
in the county.
Sewers were installed in the sub
divisions by the developers, anc
were connected with the Fails
Church sewer system which ir
turn flows back into the Holmes
Run trunk sewer which the county
formerly leased and now owns.
Claim Right Relinquished.
Mr.. Van Meter claimed the
county had relinquished it's right
to collect fees from the sub.
divisions because it made no effort
for several years to collect them
The city charges a SITS monthly
sewer fee and the county charge
lis So monthly. The county plans
to reduce it's monthly charge tt
81 so on July /.
James ]. Corbalis, jr., county
sanitary engineer, said he hac
tried unsuccessfully to work out
an agreement with the city about
the fees.

Southern Maryland planters are
convinced today that they car
safely put all their economic eggs
in a tobacco basket.
Auctioneers at nine markets
strengthened this belief yesterday
when, under their sing song chant
I886,254 pounds of 1850 type 81
leaf moved from farms to fac
tories at an average price of 47.4
cents pound. Last years open
ing day total was 943 ,624 pounds
and the average was 49.4 cents.
Through three centuries farm.
ers of the five counties have de-
pended almost solely on tobacco
for cash income.

figure. A few exceptionally fine

of the Federal graders, who set a

before sales begin.
H. F. Cummins of Brandywine
was particularly pleased. He sold

Quick MeuI
Plans With
Lamb Potties

On rushed days turn to lamb
patties for quick, tempting din
ners for your family, advises
home economist Reba Stages.
These ground lamb servings lend
themselves to grill combinations
and to stuffing as we'll.
Whether you purchase ground
lamb already formed into pat
ties or prepare them yourself,
wrap the patties with bacon and
fasten with picks. To cook, ar
range them on broiler rack so
that the top is 2 inches from the
heat. For a combination grill,
add peach or apricot halves. Or
Here's a serving with pineapple.
When patties are brown on the
top side, lay Drowned side down
on heated pineapple slices and fin
ish cooking.
Stuffing to go between two
thin patties may be fruit. Pitted
and cooked whole prunes or
drained crushed pineapple are two
suggestions. A bread stuffing also
may be used. Cook the patties
from s to 10 minutes on one side
turn and finish cooking on the
second side.
