Council 10 Ask Aid
Counties 10 Repeal
New Assessment Law

Montgomery County councilmen
today were to ask the Maryland
Association of County Commits
sioners meeting in Annapolis to
support repeal of the new State
assessment law in favor of a sys-
tenn of annual reassessments.
| The councilmen last night voted
to submit a resolution, urging re-
peal of the law that provides for
a three-year assessment plan. with
all assessments going on the books
at the same time.
In its stead, the council said
it would ask for plan providing
for annual reassessments as more
just and more realistic in the
light Of fluctuating property
values.
Would Accept Cycle Plan.
The council, however, agreed
ut. would settle on a compromise
proposal calling for. a straight
three-year assessment cycle law
with one-third Of the county prop
erty to be reassessed and put on
the books each year.
The compromise would make
little change in the law under
which assessments now are made
except to shorten the cycle from
five to three years.
Councilmen feel the new law,
slated to go into effect next year,
is not we'll written. Legal ex-
perts disagree as to whether
even new construction can be put
on the books before the end of the
three-year period.
Freeze of Base Feared.
Some councilmen also have ex-
pressed fear the law would freeze
the county's assessable base, for
three years. thereby limiting the
county's ability to borrow money.
Such situation could hamstring
the county's extensive school con-
struction program.
Montgomery County assess
ments officials have most of their
assessment maps completed and
are reported to be in a good posi-
tion to 60 on the annual reassess-
ment program.

What steps would have to be

Machen. in a written reply. told
the county heads that, I'm our
initial investigation. our commit

county refused to contribute or

Mr.. Machen added, 1T was a
serious question in our minds as
to whether or not, under existing
State law. the county could cut
of its share of welfare funds
without a change in new legisla-
ton"
The third question is a tough
one to answer. Mr.. Machen said.

Bea|| 10 Deputize 7
Women as Uniformed
Guards al CROSSINGS

Uniformed women invested with
the broad powers of deputy sheriffs
will soon be on guard at Prince
Georges county school crossings.
The unprecedented move was
virtually assured yesterday, when
Sheriff Carlton G. Beall agreed to
deputize two women officers for
the town of College Park.
His approval was given after
College Park Town Councilman
Walter F. Mulligan informed him
the town would pay the part-time
guards.
They will be employed from next
January to June 80 and would
receive from $50 to $75 a month.
II am heartedly in favor Of the
Iplan." Sheriff Beall said, land
will accede to similar requests
from any other section of the
county where such action is just
|ified.
Insists of Training
Dollar for dollar" he added,
money paid for school patrols
would return services more valu-
able than those received from
funds spent for any other pur-
pose"
Sheriff Beall said he will insist
that personnel chosen for school,
crossing service be suitable" and
that they be willing to take an
intensive training course before
beginning their duties.
II will also require that all
women guards who may serve in
the county wear standardized
uniforms" he said.
Whether the women guards will
be armed will depend somewhat
on their inclinations.
Deputy sheriffs have the right
to carry guns and their jurisdic-
ton is countrywide" the sheriff
observed.
Cool Toward Aiming.
Sheriff Beall said, however. he
does not think firearms are nee
essary at such posts. He indicated
he will urge the ladies to leave
their pistols home.
The offer Of the town of Col
|lege Park was conveyed to the
County Commissioners yesterday
in a letter signed by Mayor
Charles R. Davis. The Commits
sioners did not act on the pro-
Iposal. Previously they held that
they lacked authority to give
women police powers. They sug-
gested that the matter of police
power for the women guards be
referred to the sheriff.

Fairfax Board
Urged 10 Build
419 C|assroons
Estimate of Needs
For New Bond Issue
Is Revised Upward

The Fairfax County School
Board has been advised to provide
for 419 new classrooms in the
forthcoming school construction
bond issue.
This latest estimate Of class
rooms needed by September. 1855.
was outlined last night by Robert
Walker, director of surveys and
information for the School Board.
Mr.. Walker earlier had calcu-
lated 1863 new classrooms would be
needed, but said he revised the
figure upward after a closer check
of population trends.
Fairfax County will have 644
classrooms when the current
building program is completed.
and the additional number of
rooms recommended last night
would give the. county a total of
1868. Mr.. Walker said he be-
lieyed this would be adequate for
. school population Of 30,945
expected by 1855.
1883 Crisis Predicted.
Mr.. Walker warned that the
county would face another class
room crisis in 1858 even If no more
houses are built. Members of the
School Board were presented lists
of the proposed new claSsrooms.
They planned to study the lists,
make any changes they believe are
necessary, and then ask architects
to calculate the amount of money
needed for the entire program.
The School Board already has
received petitions requesting a
school bond issue referendum and
will insert the amount of the bond
issue after receiving the archi-
tects' figures.
Bus Maintenance Plan.
The School Board discussed the
possibility Of combining it's school
bus maintenance program with
the regular program for other
county equipment. Raymond L.
Wimbish. State director of school
bus transportation, said his Office
did not favor the combined setup.
He suggested that the Fairfax
School Board select an adequate
site for new school bus shop and
construct one as soon as possible.
MIR. Wimbish -complimented
Fairfax County on the efficient
operation Of it's school bus trans
portation. He said the State
wide average cost Of school bus
transportation per pupil in one
term was $18.s8. and the Fairfax
County average cost was $10.40.
