Mr.. Allen says, is that property is
now being assessed on 1862 values
while the 1948 assessment was
made on 1871 basis.
In Tuesdays talks Councilmen
repeatedly noted that increased
assessments did not necessarily
mean increased tax bills. Some
councilmen have exercised hope
that the tax rate could be cut next
June, but others are not too opti-
mistic about the prospect. County
Manager McNayr previously had
said he did not see any substantial
cut in the tax rate. His remarks
along this line drew the displeasure
of the. council and shortly after
ward Mr.. McNayr cancelled a
meeting he had been slated to at
tend in the down county on assess
ment matters.
Some residents Tuesday urged
the council to make available the
budget requests of department
heads earlier next year than they
We're made in the past. Residents
said they had only about three
weeks this year to study the bud
get and felt this was not sufficient

Health issues cases of violation to
the States Attorney in the county
for prosecution.
Causes of making alterations
to birth certificates are many" DIR.
Riley says, "Among them to enter
a child into school earlier, to put
him to work earlier, to get bene-
fits from welfare by forging an
other name to make it appear as
if it were child of the family,
and to prove age 81 to order alcho-
lie beverages at a bar"
Prior to 1889 alterations were
made to change the legitimacy item.
Since this no longer appears on
the Maryland birth certificate, such
changes are now unnecessary.
Most of the violators make the
alteration directly OF the certi-
ficate. The case from Frederick
County seems 10 be un 1ue, DR.
Riley says. "Tho changes were

changes were evident despite the

ton.

tons, the Division of Vital Records

certificates, has inserted the words

< Use and assistant County Attorney
Zoe M. Kyle presented five page
brief to support it's stand.
Mr.. Kyle said the sole respon-
ibility for assessments lie in the
Appeal Tax Court. Gen. Charles
p. Heron, however, pointed out
/ That Ultimately the responsibility
Tested with the Council since it
could ask the court to resign if it
did not like its action.
ks Gen. Heron said his court had
given relief in about so per cent
of the cases appealed to it by re-
sidents.
Not out of Line
Wilton T. Allen, Supervisor of
Assessments, exploded charges that
Montgomery County residents were
being assessed rates out of pro-
portion with other counties in the
states.
He said the Montgomery ratio
between assessments and sales
prices of homes has averaged be-
tween AZ and So per cent compared
with 65 to 70 per cent in Baltimore
City; So to 63 per cent in Balti-
more County; about 60 per cent in
Washington and Anne Arundel
gVunties and about 55 per cent in
axfhce Georges County.
Mr. Allen said he thought the
lewer ratio was justified since he
believed TIE was greater arti-
ficiality IN sales prices of homes
in Montgomery County.
Taxpayers Group
James R. Miller, Rockville at
t0rney and head of the newly form
ed Montgomery County Taxpayers,
Inc, told the council his group was
hiring an expert to study the eff
s6diency and financial operation Of
seblhty departments.
40 Mr. Miller also told the council
his group was becoming more ac-
,ttve, and by next budget session
hoped to have made thorough
study of the various departments.
He said his group then would come
DIP with recommendation for in
creased expenditures in some de-
partments and lower in others.
1eThe association he represents
comprises commercial owners of
commercial property in the coun-
ty. The group claims it is carry
ing the heaviest share of the ex-
pense of operating the county.
Ehe battle over the increased
assessments which Mr.. Allen
claims will average about 25 per
cent higher than old assessments

ending. Protests continued to pour
in and some residents have COM
