month after the end of each de-
partment's fiscal year. Tomorrow
nights hearing also will cover this
measure.
Another bill to legalize the pur-
chases of all fire house sites made
prior to January /, stirred bitter
debate Monday night between resi-
dents of the Conduit Road fire tax
area.
The bill was introduced to pro-
tect the rights of all fire depart
ments to receive tax funds al
though their fire house sites may
have been illegally purchased.
Councilwoman Stella Werner told
her fellow members Monday that
so per cent of the departments
may face the loss of tax funds be-
cause of a council action several
weeks ago in denying the Conduit
road the permission to construct
new house at Walhc nding road
and Massachusetts Avenue ex-
tended.
Opponents of the Conduit road
site urged the Council to amend
the bill so the fire board would not
automatically be given the go
ahead on the construction. Pro-
ponents of the site, charged that
he recommended amendment
would be discriminatory.
The Council Tuesday passed
over the bill, the first introduced,
and passed the next eight bills in
GLIDING one authorizing issuance
of S4 million in school construction
bonds as a safety measure to per-
nit the council, if it desires, to in
crease County Manager Irving G..
McNayr's recommended slash in
the school boards 81 million re-
quest.
County policemen are expected
to oppose a draft of bill sent to
the Council Tuesday by the Per-
sonnet Board to tighten provisions
of the policemen's retirement law.
The proposed bill would permit
the voluntary retirement of police
men at the minimum age of So
after 25 years of service. This pro-
vision was in the original law but
was amended in 1947 to permit re-
tirement after simply 25 years of
service.
Another proposal of the per-
sonnet board would limit the
causes for disability retirement at
half pay. The board suggested that
such retirement be granted only
for Interpretation as result of
an accident in the line of duty and
at an exact time and place.
At present the law provides for
such retirement for Interpretation
due to disease or accident incur
red in the line of duty. The new
provision would block half-pay re-
in heart disease or
mental illness cases. These would
come under the disability retire
ment clause providing for pay

few years. This pond contains
large mouth bass and blue gills
which are usually used to stock
farmers ponds in the County, and
streams in the County. Saturday
they expect to take fish out to
the streams only. Quite a number
of the fish will go to the Com
munity Pond in Clarksburg which,
incidentally, is open to the public
for fishing.
And for those future Walton-
ians-the young anglers, there
will be between 300 and 400 bass,
sunfish and crappie placed in the
Clarksburg pond. This project of
the local League was spanked by
the late Jim Berrier of Travilah
and Mac King.

unsuccessful attempts to promote
cooperative action to get the
sewers put in by the Sanitary
Commission working with private
developers.
at looked like things had to be
brought to head by official ac-
tion," Brown commented.
The Boards ruling, climaxing a
long fight by Wheaton and other
county civic groups for the sewers,
was based on soil conditions which
made some septic tanks in the
area imperative and constituted
a "health menace" 1t will open the
large, sparsely-settled area east
of Georgia Avenue, south of Ar
cola Avenue and north of Old
Bladensburg Road for develop
ment.
Construction of additional sep
tic tanks in the area has been
banned for almost a year by the
County Health Department, which
has stopped building there because
of the soil conditions.
Arthur C. Keefer, commission
general counsel, who will report
to the commission today, said that
if the order is accepted by the
commission, is may also be paid
for by a new bond issue without
additional Legislative authorize
ton, or from previous bond issues
if they can, be marketed.
He added that although this
was the first such order ever
issued to his commission, similar
from the Board of
Health have been sent to Anne
Arundel and Baltimore County.
The order was personal victory
for Philip Marcus of the Wheaton
Citizens Association and the
Allied Civic Group, outspoken in
their fight for the sewers.

Mukluk Camera Club News
By ELEANOR LUDBROOK

The Mukluk Camera Club had such an enjoyable time on a re- cent club picnic that it was agreed at their regular meeting Friday night to have more outings this summer. In consideration Of the fact that everyone is so busy dur ing the summer season and also that business meetings held the year round are apt to become a bit tireSome at this time, it was unanimously decided by the mem bers to have only one meeting a month and that to be in the form of a field expedition for picture taking, fishing and picnic. The club hopes that this will be an in centive for absentee members to show more interest in club ectivi- ties. The members are asked to bring guests andor prospective members on these outings.
 The entertainment committee is responsible for the planning of these trips and the other commit tees will take care of the business end of the club during the sum- mer. The next regular meeting will be held in the club rooms on the fourth of September.
