Agreement Reached
On New Fire Tax Plan
For ChiIIum Area

A new fire tax proposal for the
Chillum area was agreed to last
night at a meeting of civic lead
|ers and officials of five Prince
Georges County towns.
Councils of the five towns will
be asked to approve the plan. and
the Maryland General Assembly
will be asked to pass the neces-
|sary referendum legislation at the
session beginning February 6.
The proposal calls for a 10-cent
fire tax in the Chillum area, to
be distributed among the five
towns and the ChiNum Adelphi
Volunteer Fire Department. Chill
|lum residents rejected 10-cent
fire tax in a referendum last Oc-
tober in which all revenue would
have gone to the towns.
Reichet Presides.
Mayor Herbert w. Reichelt OF
Mount Rainier presided over last
nights meeting in the Mount
Rainier Town Hall.
Mayor Reichelt described the
tax proposal as follows:
A fire tax of 10 cents per 500
of assessed valuation would be inn
posed in the 4th, 5th, 9Th and
7th precincts of the Chillum dis
trict. During the first four years
the tax is collected, so per cent
would be divided among the five
municipalities and the other SO
per cent to the Chillum- Adelphia
Volunteer Fire Department; dur
ing the next two years 40 per cent
to the municipalities and go per
cent to the Chillum-Adelphia de-
partment; during the next two
years 80 per cent to the munich
palities and 10 per cent to Chill
lum- -Adelphia, and thereafter 20
per cent to the municipalities and
80 per cent to Chillum- Adelphia.
Distribution to Towns.
The portion of the taxes going
to the municipalities would be
distributed as follows: Is per cent
each to Takoma Park, Mount
Rainier and Brentwood 10 per
cent each to Hyattsville and Col
lege Park, and per cent to River
dale.
Mayor Reichelt said it was
agreed to ask that participation
in the referendum be limited to
Chillum area residents outside the
towns because the tax would be
imposed only on them. The towns
already pay fire taxes.
After the tax was voted down
lin October, Takoma Park with
drew its fire protection from the
|Chillum area.

Virginia Assembly
Gets New Poll Tax
Repeater, 4th in 81
Ry the As,esiated Press

RICHMOND, Jan. ga new
poll tax repeater, the fourth to
appear in the II days Of the 1852
General Assembly session, was in
Itroduced yesterday.
It is the product of Senators
Robert F. Baldwin, jr, and Ed
ward L. Breeder. jr., Of Norfolk,
who predicted it would receive
considerably more support" than
the other bills.
Both generally are supporters of
the organization but some sources
believe the dominant Democrats
won't take the bill.
Gov. Battle has maintained a
consistent mo comment" to all
questions about poll tax.
Would Keep Head Tax.
Here's what the Breeden-Bald-
win plan would entail:
Repeal of the constitutional Sec
ton requiring the $1,50 tax as a
prerequisite to voting and. inclu-
sion in the Constitution of a
statement that no fee can be
charged for voting.
Retention of the $3.50 as a head
tax for revenue-producing pur-
poses.
On registration, a persons name
would be kept on the voting books
as long as he voted once every
four years. No additional literacy
qualifications would be required.
Like any repeal resolution, the
Breeder en-Baldwin plan will have to
be approved by two separate ses-
sions, then by the voters in a
Statewide referendum.
Seven States Have Tax.
At present the Old Dominion is
one of seven States still carrying
the poll-tax requirement.
Before adjourning for the week
END yesterday. the Legislature
turned up these other Develop
Iments:
Passage of retirement bills to
put State and local government
employees under social security
laws.
A proposal by Radford Senator
Ted Dalton to set minimum
school teachers salary of 50 400.
A total of 436 bills and 40 reso-
IlutionS have been submitted the
first three weeks of the session.
This considerably outdoes the
1850 Assembly, which for the same
period came up with only 311 bills
and 80 resolutions.
