Central Alumni Seek
Place for Trophies

The Central High School
Alumni Association today made
a move to acquire an abandoned
public school building in which
to display the trophies won by
old Central over the years.
Rudolph Behrend, local real
estate dealer and an alumnus,
approached District Commits
sioner Renah F. Camalier on the
subject this morning. Mr.. Cam
alier said that Mr.. Behrend was
particularly interested in buying
or leasing the Wormley School.
on Prospect street between Thir-
ty = third and Thirty fourth
streets NV. The 69-year-old
building has been closed and
boarded up since last August.
Commissioner Camalier got off
message to James L. McCallis-
ter, the District administrative
services officer, to look into the
chances of the alumni group get
ting use of the building.
1t was indicated, however, that
these chances are dim since the
public school system is consider
ing the eight-room two-story
structure to consolidate several
scattered administrative offices.
The Highway Department also
wants the structure for Office

Tax Requirement
On Alexandra Cor
ogs Challenged

The validity of Alexandria S
automobile license tag ordinance
is being challenged because it
requires car owners to pay back
personal property taxes before
getting a tag.
Albert Chaiken, 1911 Preston
road. has filed a brief in Alex
andria police court claiming the
license tag ordinance is un-
constitutional.
Mr.. Chaiken was ticketed for
failing to have city tag on his
automobile. The city attorneys
Office said he was refused a city
tag because of overdue personal
property taxes.
Mr.. Chaiken's brief claims this
requirement makes Alexandria s
license tax ordinance invalid be-
cause the State constitution does
not permit ordinances to have a
double purpose, and also be-
cause it discriminate against
automobile owners in the pay
ment of their personal property
taxes.

Montgomery
Pushes Vehicle
Inspection Plan
Council Will Seek
To Control Buses if
State Doesn't Act

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil yesterday laid plans for
pressing for Statewide support
of motor vehicle inspection and
tighter, driving permit require
ments.
At the same time the council
emphasized that if State action
was not forthcoming, it would
seek local legislation to tighten
regulation of vehicles transport
ing school-age children.
The council unanimously ap-
proved two resolutions submitted
by Public Safety Director Ar
thur E. Miller. Both will be pre-
sented to the State Association
of County Commissioners when
it meets August 1880 in Ocean
City.
Two to Attend.
Mr.. Miller will accompany
Councilwoman Stella B. Werner
to the meeting to help promote
the resolutions.
One of the resolutions calls on
the State Legislature to pass
adequate and practical" legis-
lation establishing a motor We
hicle program.
The other calls for legislation
to strengthen and clarity present
license requirements.
The council strongly supported
Mrs. Werner's request that con-
sideration be given to local legis-
lation that would require day
camps to be licensed.
Assistant County Attorney E.
Richard Mcintyre said yesterday
the council could pass such legis-
lation. He added, however, such
regulation could only supplement
enforcement of present State
laws.
One requirement Of such Ii
censing, Mr.. Mcintyre said, might
be that the DAY camps prove they
have met State requirements.
Double Inspection System.
Mr.. Miller told the council
yesterday he favored a combina-
ton State-operated inspection
system in the urban areas and a
State-controlled inspection sys-
tenn through private garages in
rural areas.
He noted that the State has
dormant motor vehicle inspection
law. He also said the State di-
rector Of motor vehicles has the
authority to inspect school buses,
but does not have the men to in
Spect all those of private schools.
The pressure, for tighter laws
has developed as a result of the
day-camp bus crash last month
in which II persons were injured
and one killed. The driver of
the bus was a 17-year-old boy.
1T is believed the accident
was caused by a defective tire"
Mr.. Miller said.
I'm my opinion" Mr.. Miller
said, this sort of vehicle needs
inspection even more than public
school Buses"
Mr.. Miller added he was one

9 Plans 10 Cut
Property Taxes
Council
County May Offer
Resolution at
Stute Meeting

Nine methods of relieving the
tax burden on property-owners
in Montgomery County will be
scrutinized by the county coun-
Gil this week.
The council, on Tuesday, is
expected to adopt a resolution
on the subject. which it will
submit to the State Association
of County Commissioners, meet
ing in Ocean City from August
% through August 80.
The nine means for relieving
the real estate tax load were
prepared by Acting County Man
ager Alex K. Hancock on order
of the council. He submitted
his report yesterday.
Mr.. Hancock suggested three
new forms of taxation as posi-
BILE means of property tax relief.
One, he said, would be for
the State Legislature to grant
the counties the same taxing
powers the State now holds.
Another would be the Gre
alton of a local gross receipts
tax in connection with, or in lieu
of, the business personal prop
erty tax.
Would Distribute Load.
Mr.. Hancock explained this
would require businesses that do
not carry heavy inventories or
do not have a great capital in
vestment to share in the local
tax burden.
The third suggestion was pro-
vision for a local occupancy, oc-
cupation or payroll tax to hit
those persons who do not own
taxable properties in the county.
In a rough draft of a suggested
resolution to be submitted to the
State group, Mr.. Hancock noted
that much property in the county
had been acquired by the Federal
Government and is taX-eXempt.
He added that, at the same time,
the county's rapid growth is in
creasing the property tax bur-
den because of the immediate
need for capital outlay and for
greater services required as the
population density increases.
State Changes Suggested.
Mr.. Hancock also suggested
changes in laws governing State
distribution of funds for school
purposes and in State wide as
sessment laws and procedures.
Among the suggestions for
consideration by the council he
included:
l. Repeal of the law requiring
counties to allot to schools it's
share of the motor vehicle Ii
cense receipts in the same pro-
portion property taxes are al
lotted.
2. Changing the school in
centive fund law so the State
will provide a reasonable, not
a mere token, contribution" for
school construction and will dis
burse the funds on the basis of
annual enrolment increases
rather than on a basis of total
enrolment.
3. Providing that the State
pay a greater share of school
operating costs out of State
taxes, such as the sales tax.
4. A change from the present
aSsessable base to some other
economic factor such as average
family income, or individual in
come in computing school
equalization funds.
