civic groups to send to the Mayor

suggestions should take into con-
sideration the dignity of the towns

Tax Assessments
Protested Here by
Local Chamber

Current tax assessments on COM
mercial real estate in Rockville
will be detrimental to the future
growth and progress of the Town
unless compensatory decrease in
the tax rate follows, Frank E. Will
liams, Jr., president of the Rock
vile Chamber of Commerce said
this week.
Mr.. Williams said at an execu-
tive committee meeting of the
Chamber held on April Is, MEM
bers discussed with concern" the
n e W tax assessment on business
property here and passed a reso-
luton asking the County Council
to give SERIOUS consideration" to
the "long range effects before MAX
ing additional and drastic changes
in the existing tax structure.
In it's resolution the Chamber
pointed out that it's membership
reflects the opinion of all Rock
vile business enterprises" and that
the business community "feels the
necessity of going on record to the
effect that the current tax assess
ment on commercial real estate will
be detrimental to the future grow
tn and progress of Rockville = :"
It also said that "the Chamber of
Commerce is Of the opinion that
if the current trend of increasing
the assessed valuation of real es-
tate in Montgomery continues, it
will be almost confscatory and it
may discourage new business from
locating here. We are all aware of
the existing trend of business to
decentralize," the Chamber said,
"and to move from high overhead
areas to more favorable sections.
For the growth and development
of our town, we feel it is our duty
to do everything possible to attract
new enterprise"
"In building for the future" the
Chamber pointed out, "new enter
prises will help all of the people
of the County by providing addi-
tional sources for taxable income,
and thus more equitably spread the
heavy burden our citizens are obi
ged to carry"
Mr.. Williams said the resolution
had been sent to County Manager
McNayr as well as to the Council
and that a copy had gone to other
county departments concerned.
At the same time, the Chamber
said it endorses the request of
the Montgomery County Civic Fed
GRAFTON that the budget estimates
be released in ample time for study
and analysis in order that the tax
payers may ascertain where and
for what the public funds are being
used"

Clarksburg Group
Hears Eaton on
Civic Federation

The Executive Committee of the
Clarksburg Community Associa-
ton held a special open meeting
on April Is at 8 pm. for the
purpose of considering plans for
organizing additional civic asso-
Citations in Upper Montgomery
County. All communities interest
ed in Upper Montgomery were in
vited. The meeting was opened by
president G. R. Martz of the
Clarksburg Community Associa-
ton.
Herbert N. Eaton, former presi-
dent of the Montgomery County
Civic Federation, told of the crea-
tin of that organization twenty
seven years ago and of it's accom-
plishments. The Civic Federation
is interested in planning better
government, better relationship,
new legislation, the study of the
county budget, and in the general
problems of the entire county, he
said. The original organization
was formed when a railroad
freight line proposed to build
through a fine residential section.
A group of predetermined citizens
organized to prevent the construc-
ton, and to promote the general
welfare, Mr.. Eaton pointed out. 1t
has grown until it now has seventy
two member organizatins. The
Federation is greatly interested
in legislative and legal actions;
planning and coming; county fin
ances, budget, public safety; pub
lie utilities, road, streets, bridges,
schools, and social welfare in the
whole county.
Mr.. Eaton stated that the fed
Grafton is non-political, non-parti-
san and non-sectarian and is
strictly civic in all it's thoughts,
Each organization sends the Fed
Grafton three delegates and three
alternates. The Federation goes in
to detailed study for each action

in its comprehensive report on
conditions the Housing Authority
pointed out that 264 of the 942 sub
standard dwellings surveyed in the
County recently exist in Rockville.
Is Areas Checked
The Authority said that of the
total substandard housing units
which it checked on in 10 areas of
the County, that 751, or almost so
per cent Of the total are occupied by
colored persons. The report stated
that in Rockville 242 out of the 264
substandard units are occupied by
colored.
AS result of almost complete
absence of private building for col
ored persons wishing to buy or
rent" in Montgomery overcrowding
and other conditions were found to
be particularly felt in Rockville. As
a matter of fact, the Authority
said, the Rockville area "has be-
come sort of Ghetto for colored
people, the boundary lines of which
are pretty firmly fixed because the
area is surrounded on most sides by
commercial development or by
white residential construction"
While the group said figures are
rot available, it pointed out that in
Rockville 1--WE have reason to be-
lieve there is also high degree Of
overcrowding. We are advised that
This area has long been a heavy
drain on the County health and
welfare facilities"
Linden and Kengar
The same observations are true
with respect to Linden with SO
units and Kenger with 81 units, the
report stated. Rockville, Linden
and Kengar, according to the re-
port contain almost so per cent of
the units which were canvassed
during the Housing Authority's re-
cent survey.
The 1S areas in the County which
were chosen for substandard hous-
ing survey include Linden, Takoma,
