House and that the bill from PepcC
mounts to about $687.34.
He said the County leases to the
town for 81 year, the parking
lot of Commerce Lane which is
valued at $4,000. In addition
Mr.. McNayr said the town get full
use of the County's assessing ser.
vices and that Rockville residents
have "full use of County and State
courts, all of which are furnished
by the County and the State OF
Maryland" He said Rockville re-

Mr.. McNayr charged that despite
the County's efforts to save the
town money by inviting it to part

program, Rockville has never TAX

fer" He said a cooperative pur-
chasing program could be used to
advantage in the matter of buying
tires, gasoline, oil, road building
materials and mobile equipment.
The County Manager said Takoma
Park saves $4,000 year on gaso-
line alone by taking advantage of a
County set up gasoline dispensing
system and that that community's
fire department saves between $5,-
900 and $4,000 a year on purchases
of tires and other equipment
through County cooperation.
Mr.. McNayr said he thought the
citizens of Rockville should ask the
Mayor and Council why the Town
has not taken advantage of these
savings.
Council president Col. Lathrop
F. Smith said he thought the "peo-
pie of Rockville ought to know
that" and the County Manager
agreed that it is important that
the whole matter be brought into
public view. He said the County
