Maryland Rates Third
In Survey Of Ability
TO Meet School Needs
BY the Associated Press

Maryland can't raise all the
money it needs to provide ade-
quate school facilities, a survey
showed today, but it's better off
than at least 80 other States and
four territories.
Only two States are known to
be in better position.
The survey, made by the Fed
eral Government, ranks the Free
State third among 33 States whose
education requirements and finan-
cial ability to meet them were
reviewed.
Connecticut at Top.
Connecticut. which could raise
all but 9.22 per cent of the money
it needs to furnish adequate IA
cilities. and Delaware, 1922 per
cent short, rated higher.
Maryland could raise all but
1892 per cent of the funds neces-
sary to increase classroom space
and bus facilities. the survey
showed.
In releasing the figures. the
Office of Education said they may
be out Of line since the survey was
completed last September.
The Office estimated the Nation
needs 325.000 new public school
classrooms. The cost was put at
SLOT billion.
Under normal fund raising
methods, it added, the country
would fall short by $40 billion in
trying to pay for them.
$35 Million Short.
A breakdown of the totals
showed Maryland needs $219,-
628,40 to bring it's facilities up
to the requirements and is able
to raise all but $34,966, ,485 of it.
Earl j. McGrath, commission
er of education, said the report
Indicates a strong need for States
to revise their method of financing
educational programs.
Suggestions included "more
realistic" property assessments
and the use of special school con-
struction taxes on the local level.
The District and Virginia did
not participate in the Office of
Education survey. Washington
school officials felt the survey
unnecessary here because of the
study made several years ago by
DR.. George D. Strayer. Virginia
authorities also have conducted
their own surveys recently.

State Roads Program
Called Too Urgent for
Pay-as- s-You-Go Plan
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 20. The
proposed $3.50 million highway
program for Maryland could not
be handled satisfactorily on a pay
basis, according to an
official of the Highway Advisory
Council.
Charles S. Garland says the 12-
year plan outlined by the State
Roads Commission is too big and
too urgently needed to be financed
that way.
He and Chairman Russell H.
Mccain of the roads commission
answered questions fired by four
Maryland newsmen and editors
yesterday in a televised WMAR
press conference.
IF you want to get something
big in a hurry you can't get it
on a pay-as-you-go basis" Mr..
Garland said.
He added that road-building in
the State hasn't kept pace with
needs and that adequate highway
systems today can't be built with
money available on a month to-
month or even year-to-year basis.
The huge program recommended
by the Roads Commission and its
advisory council calls for bond
issues amounting to $3.50 mil
lion. The commission suggested
that additional revenue could come
from one-cent increase in the s.
cent a gallon gasoline tax. Regis
tration fees for private and COM
mercial vehicles also would be in
creased under the plan.
The Legislative Council earlier
this month gave the highway plan
it's somewhat reluctant blessing
Now the proposal is headed for
the General Assembly, meeting in
Annapolis next week.
Mr.. Garland said the borrow
ing provisions of the plan would
not endanger the States present
triple-A credit rating.
Turing to the subject of limited
access roads included in the plan,
Mr.. Mccain said they were neces-
sary toe avoid "other Ritchie and
Pulaski highways or another
Washington boulevard"

Virginia Traffic Deaths
Fall Below 1851 Mark:
First Drop in 5 Years
ey the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 29.-Vir-
ginia's traffic toll is declining for
the first time in five years. but
Gov. Battle sees no room for
elation.
Fatal accidents are still far
too many on our highways" said
the Governor, who added:
II hope that in the year 1858
the efforts of all agencies and of
all individuals may be redoubled
to the end that additional lives
may be saved"
With only two more days to 60
in 1852. Virginia's traffic toll is
about so below the final figure of
999 highway dead last year.
Gov. Battle said he did not
attribute the decline to any one
factor.
II think it is the result Of a
number of things-among them
the tightening-up of law enforce
ment. education and public con-
sciousness of the dangers of reck-
less driving"
The decline in the toll this yea.
is the first time since 1947 that
the number of highway deaths has
leveled off rather than increased
from the previous year.
This comes despite an increase
of 10000 motor vehicle registra-
tions in the State this year.
State police and Division Of Mo-
tor Vehicle officials cited three
reasons for the decline:
ID. Sitter penalties for traffic
law violators provided by the State
Legislature.
~. Increased traffic law en-
forcement efforts by the State po-
lice and tougher policies toward
adopted by many courts.
go. A growing public aware
ness Of the harm of reckless driv-
ing.
