trimmed the departments re-
quest by $2.7 million. and are
asking Congress for $1,596.000
for operating expenses and $410.-
600 for capital outlay.
The city heads total recrea-
ton request of $2,006.000 is
1926. 900 above appropriations for
the current fiscal year. Six addi-
tional permanent jobs are in
cluded.

$1.3 million request for new
swimming pools, meanwhile. the

S2,132,000 Sought
For Blue Ridge Parkway
BY the Assoeioted Press

A request for $2.132.000 was
included today in President Tru-
mans annual budget to Con-
gress for the Blue Ridge Parkway
in Virginia and North Carolina
This budget estimate for the
year starting July /, is far greater
than the $670,000 appropriated
for the current IL months.
The budget estimated such an
appropriation, if approved by
Congress, would leave an esti-
mated $42,751, ,199 of work to he
done on the scenic mountaintop
parkway. The estimated total
cost is $82.076,659.
The Presidents budget also re-
quested $727 900 for the Colonial
National Monument in the
Yorktown-Jamestown, Va. area.
There was nothing appropriated
for this project during the cur
rent fiscal year.

Commissioners also are asking
that legal limit of the East
Capitol bridge cost be raised
from SIP million to SIG million.
The four major projects listed

requests were 1904 900 for the

and Associates and the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission.
Funds for the new storage tank
already are on hand. The structure
with will cost approximately $780,
600, VII be located in the rear
OF the Zu,k property. Completion
is scheduled in May, 1854.
According to Mr.. Mcdonald, the
new tank along with the city's
present water storage facilities and
the Sanitary Commission tap will
serve Rockville adequately for the
foreseeable future.
In citing the city's phenomenal
growth, Mayor Weddle recalled
that in 1910, there were only about
1000 residents. By 1850, he said,
the population had more than
tripled. He estimated the present
population at about 10000.
"This tremendous expansion"
Mayor Weddle explained, "has
placed a terrific burden on the city.
We have been cognizant of the
necessity of providing essential
water and sewage facilities for
these new residents but we also
have been careful to plan for these
facilities without placing an I'M
duly heavy tax burden on our citi-
zens."
Prior to last summers drought,
Mayor Weddle said, city officials
believed additional water storage
facilities would not be needed un-
til 1854. However, as soon as it
became evident that the drought,
accompanied by the large popula-
ton increase, would necessitate
new facilities, the Mayor and Coun-
Gil Immediately began plans to
meet the need.
Present water storage facilities
are $4,000 gallons. The peak load
is 100000 gallons day, and the
new tank and tapping arrangement
will permit the city to make over
100000 gallons available daily.
Rockville property owners now
pay a city tax of 80 cents per $500
assessed valuation. The total as
sessable base of the town by July
l, 1854, will approximate $26 mil
lion. In 1941, it was only 50 mil
lion, and in 1919, it was SIS mil
lion.
The city's bonded debt on July
1, 1858, was 81, 126,00O-slightly
less than per cent of the as
sessable base at that time. The
city's charter allows a maximum
debt of 10 per cent of the assess
able base.
Mayor Weddle emphasized the
city's officials have been continual
ly aware of the needs of the resi-
dents but were careful to wait I'M
til the pattern of the municipal
