Budget for New Help

Washington's local judiciary
system estimates it needs $79.417
more to operate in 1854 than Con-
gress appropriated this fiscal year.
The increase would bring the
1854 budget to $1,221,817. This
would be the overall expenditure
for Municipal Court, Juvenile
Court and the Municipal Court Of
Appeals.
Biggest request-since it is the
biggest court of the three-comes
from Municipal Court. This
branch, which issues verdicts on
miSdemeanor violations against
the city, and serves as committing
magistrate for violations Of Fed
eral law, requests more than
$4,000. mainly to provide extra
clerical help.
Needs 8 New Employees.
Owing to the ever-rising volume
OF business, the 13-judge court
wants eight new employees, rang
ing from an official reporter to file
clerk.
The court also needs a new cash
register, cost $2,950, for the GRIM
1nal division clerks Office, to re-
place one that has been in service
for II years.
Total budget estimate for 1854
Is $760,00O.
The one-judge Juvenile Court
seeks an increase Of SIT, ,6OO-to a
total Of $358, ,200-largely for the
hire OF an administrative assistant
and two social workers.
According to the request. an
aide for Judge Edith H. Cockrill|
is needed to free her from admin
1strative details so she may devote
more time to the bench. An ex-
panded baStardy law requires two
new social workers to handle in
creased duties now falling on the
court.
Food for Jurors Costs More.
Even the courts 5000 jurors
food bill is going up $50, due to-
imitation preSSures.
The Municipal Court of Ap-
peals requests an additional
$3,817, for a total budget estimate
Of $103,817. This would provide al
new file clerk for the three Judge
court. It also would provide $348|
to buy a desk for the clerk of the
court, SO that one personally
owned by the late Judge Brice
Clagett can be returned to his
family.
A new file clerk is needed be-
cause of an increase in the num-
ber OF papers lawyers file, and
$3.50 more printing money is asked
because the court expects to bel
handing down more opinions than

Redssessment
To Hit Suburban
Horrle0wners
Nearby Montgomery
Faces 20 to Is Pct.
Tax RevuIuution
BY Cherries [. Hoffmon

Home owners in the suburban
area Of Montgomery County will
feel added effects Of imitation next
year as q result of q reasSessment
which will add an estimated $50
million to the county's assessed
base.
The average home owner In
the suburban section can expect a
20 to IS per cent increase in his
property assessment. The re-
assessment will effect his 1853 tax
bill.
County officials have estimated
that the present $487 million as
sessed base will be increased about
500 million in fiscal 1853.
Some $35 to $40 million will be
added in the assessment of new
subdivisions and other new con-
struction
The rest, according" to Wilton r.
Allen, supervisor Of assessments,
will be added to the books through
reassessment Of property in the
7th and 18th and parts of the 4th,
5th and 10th districts Of which
the heavily. populated suburban
area is composed.
viii Add So Million.
The increased base will add an
estimated 81 million to the county
treasury at the current tax rate.
It could possibly mean, county
officials have intimated, that the
tax rate could be reduced next
year.
One reason given for using
5000. 900 Of surplus funds for op-
Grating expenses this year was to
let it act as a buffer" between the
necessary tax rate increase this
year and o possible reduction next
year.
The eight county assessors have
been working on the suburban
area assessment OF and on for
the last two years. Six Of them
now are concentrating on reassess-
ments while the other two work on
new property.
Some $1,000 pieces Of residential
property with a present assessed
valuation Of some $500 million will
be scrutinized this year.
5000 Pct. Assessment.
Although the State law provides
Tor assessments at full market
value, the county is aiming at a Sc
to so per cent Of the market value
figure, Mr.. Allen said.
Since new homes were assessed
at 60 per cent Of their sales prices
in 1851 they will not be hit as hard
as older homes in the area. Most
OF the older homes in 1948 were
put on the books at about 40 Der
cent OF market value. Mr.. Allen
said.
The assessment chief said the
county does not assess at full mar.

MINATED prices put on real estate

A demand for immediate trans

be served on the Board Of Educa-
ton tomorrow.
The eight-room annex Is at the

NEGRO residents want it to help
meet overcrowding at their own
Garfield and Turner Schools.
They also oppose use Of the old
Birney School, Nichols avenue
near Talbert street Sc. Birney.
ALREADY a Negro school. has just
been ordered switched to Garfield
Turner pupils.
May Be Segregation battle-ground.
| Threats Of "a possible school
strike and court action were voiced
at meeting last night at which
citizens voted these demands.
Several speakers made it plain
they hope to make Stanton a
battle-ground in the drive to end
segregation.
A strike was not threatened for
lmally. But the session voted to
Igive the School Board q petition
containing more than 600 names.
1t also demanded an answer by
August /.
School officials already have ad-
United the Garfield-Turne situa-
tion is very serious. Several large
nearby housing developments are
opening or nearing completion,
and both white and Negro class
room space is expected to be at a
premium.
Birney has been in use as an
annex for the Negro Douglass
Junior High, but a new Douglass
will leave it free in September.
The Stanton annex has been only
partially used recently-for civil
defense off1ces-but in the fall is
scheduled to house extra Stanton
pupils as well.
Committee Calls Meeting.
Last nights meeting was spon-
sored by q special co-ordinating
committee organized by the Gar
field-Turner Parent Teacher As
sociation and ld-Douglass
Heights Civic Association. Mrs.
Dovey j. Roundtree, 1884 Irving
street Sc, is committee chairman.
Mrs. Roundtree disclosed that
A. Kiger Savoy. associate school
superintendent, last Thursday per-
sonally delivered letters to several
neighborhood leaders stating that
only fifth and sixth graders would
be sent to Birney. Citizens had
objected that the school was too
far from their homes.
Mrs. Roundtree also asserted
she had received an anonymous
telephone threat Saturday night
warning not to hold the meeting.
She said citizens asked the
school board six weeks ago for the
Stanton annex. but that Birney
had been offered instead.
The Rev. James H. Mayo of Allen
AME Church said the area will
have more than 1000 more chill
dren than Garfield and Turner
will be able to handle next fall.
He also repeated a charge, denied
by school officials, that Birney has
been condemned as a fire hazard"
Mrs. Catherine Jones, president
Of the Payne School PTA, also
spoke. She recalled the school
strike her group sponsored at
Payne last fall and predicted "a
difficult struggle"
She urged the citizens to bonn
bard school officials with phone
calls and letters.

also developed on the subject Of
