9 Maryland Counties
Ask Funds for Roads
By the Asseeiafed Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 3.-Only
nine Maryland counties have
asked for money from a new
credit pool set up by the State
for county roads.
The deadline was Tuesday for
making application for a share
during the first year of the plan
Under the plan, the State in
effect lends its credit to the
counties. The State Roads Com-
mission has listed the amount
Of first year bonds it belives each
county can handily pay off with
the increased revenue it is due
to get next year from the in
crease in the State gasoline tax
These counties have asked for
a share during fiscal 1855, start
ing next July /: Allegany, $780,
000; Calvert, $4,000; Charles,
$81, 100; Garrett, $2O7 800; Fred
erick, $276,700; Montgomery,
1924, 800; Queen Annes, $50, 900;
st. Marys. $79,700; Washington,
$182, 100.
In most cases, counties asked
for the full quota set up by the
roads commission. Calvert and
Queen Annes asked for about
half the bond money apportioned
to it for fiscal 1855.
Other counties indicated to
the commission they felt they
could meet their road needs on
a pay-as-you-go basis now that
they are in line for increased
gasoline tax revenues.

Roman Hornig Is Busy Living
AS He Reviews His 7O2 Years
KeniIworth OIdster
Credits Hard Work
For His Long Life

A clipper old man sat in his
favorite chair yesterday and re-
called with enthusiasm a CEN
tury of activity.
He is Roman Hornig of 4616
r street, Kenilworth, Md, who
celebrated his 1920 birthday.
Armed with a remarkable mem
ory and a slight trace of a Ger
man accent, he recollected the
days Of his youth in Bavaria and
his trip to the United States.
A coffee lover and pipe
smoker, Mr.. Hornig credits his
long life to hard work and
drinking moderately"
When Mr.. Hornig arrived in
this country, at the age of 10,
he went to stay with an uncle in
Baltimore. A short while later,
in the days when steak was 10
cents a pound, he came to WASH
ington, where he worked as a
butcher with another uncle in
the old North Liberty Market
He later set up his own butcher
shop in the Eastern Market, re-
firing in 1884 after so years of
work.
II should have stayed at stone
cutting instead Of becoming q
butcher" he said. II was a
stonecutter in Germany" He re-
flected on that for a few min

Fees by Insta||ment
Urged as Boost for
Fairfax Sewer PLAN

Payment Of sewer connection
fees by installments is proposed
by the Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors to encourage support
for the $40 million sewer bond
issue referendum on Decem-
ber IS.
The supervisors yesterday went
on record in favor of the in
stallment plan, if it is legally
possible. 1t would apply only to
existing homes in the county,
and all new construction would
be required to pay connection
fees in full when the actual
connection is made.
May Need Legislative Action.
: Commemorative Attorney
Hugh B. Marsh warned that leg
iSlation may be necessary to use
the installment plan. He said
the supervisors may have no
way, under existing laws, to en-
force collection of installment
payments once a connection is
made.
Mrs. Anne wilkins, supervisor
from George Mason District,
said it probably will be possible
to get such legislation enacted
at the forthcoming General As
sembly session, if the plan is not
now legal. The supervisors agreed
to take the matter up with the
county's representatives in the
Legislature.
The installment plan was rec
commended by the League of
Women Voters in a letter indors-
ing the proposed $40 million bond
issue. The league pointed out
that some homeowners might
find it difficult to put up the
required connection fee of 5000
to $400 in a lump sum.
Might Encourage Connections.
Mrs. Wilkins said she thought
the inStallment plan would en-
courage home-owners to connect
to the proposed new integrated
sewer system that the $40 mil
lion bond issue would finance.
About 1919 miles of new sewer
lines are planned under the $40
million program. 1t is proposed
to make the bond issue a COM
bination general obligation
revenue type. The bonds would
be paid off entirely by fees and
service charges.
County Executive C. c. Massey
said maps showing the proposed
new sewer installations and ad-
ditional information about the
bond issue are available at all
fire houses in the county.

It was the county'S mistake,
but this taxpayer got the bill just
the same.
The mistake involved the 1851
and 1852 real estate tax bills of
Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin H. Bur-
rell, ia School street. Penn Daw,
Fairfax County.
According to Mrs. Burrell, who
described her plight to the Board
of County Supervisors yesterday,
the 1851 and 1862 bills carried
charges only for the Burrells' lot.
There was no charge for their
house.
Mrs. Burrell said she called
the county assessors Office after
receiving each bill and asked
how much she owed for the
house. Each time, she said. she
was advised that the house had
not yet been assessed and she
would be billed later.
The tax bill for the house
finally came last MONTH It in
cluded an additional $1S for pen
alties and interest.
Mrs. Burrell told the super
visors she paid the taxes, but
she refused to pay the penalty
and interest because she felt she
had done everything possible to
pay the bills when they were due.
John Ferguson, director Of
assessments, confirmed her story.
He said he found it was an error
in his Office. Somehow, the Bur-
rell house had been overlooked
when assessments were trans
ferred to billing lists.
Mr.. Ferguson urged the super
visorS to waive the penalty.
The supervisors were sympa-
thetic but unyielding.
'It certainly seems unfair. but
the law doesn't permit us to
waive the penalty and interest"

Fairfax FreehoIders
Warn County Heads
To Cut Expenses

The Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors received a stern
warning from the Freeholders'
Protective Association yesterday
to cut down government expenses
and slow down construction of
cheap housing in the county.
The Freeholders presented the
supervisors with a four-page
written report, citing what they
consider instances of recent ex-
travagances in county govern
ment.
Manning Gasch, president Of
the Freeholders, warned that the
county is headed for disaster
at 80 miles per hour"
The current economic survey
Of DR.. Homer Hoyt was singled
out for criticism. According to
DR.. Hoyt's figures, the Freehold
ers said, a $4,000 home pays
its own way. But the Freehold
ers contend a $4,000 home yields
only $162 a year in taxes. and
the cost Of educating one child
is close to $500 a year.
"JuSt what information of
practical use to the county has
this survey (the Hoyt survey
produced?" asked the Freehold
erS.
Call Condition Dangerous.
With the forthcoming $40 mil
lion sewer bond issue, the county
debt will rise to a total of SAT
million, the Freeholders warned.
They called this a dangerous
fiscal condition.
Some of the SevereSt criticism
was aimed at school construc-
ton and cost of the new court
house addition.
The Freeholders said the new
Annandale High. School and
Sleepy Hollow School cost more
than planned because unantic-
ipated sub-surface conditions
were encountered. They asked
why test borings weren't made
before construction began.
Some other questions they
asked we're: Why did the court
house addition cost nearly SIS
million, when only $980,000 was
provided in a bond issue for
that purpose? Why aren't stand
ard school plans used instead OF
hiring architects for each prof.
ect? Why doesn't the county put
all first and second graders on
halliday shifts to save money?
Mr.. Gasch suggested the county
consider tighter building code
regulations to encourage con-
struction of better homes and
require larger lot sizes for homes.
will Study Report.
The supervisors promised to
study the report but took no
formal action.
Architect Robert Willgoos, who
designed the courthouse and the
Annandale School, said he will
prepare an answer to the criti-
cisms involving his work. Attor-
ney Andrew w. Clarke said he
will prepare a reply to those
portions of the report criticiZing
Eugene Simpson & Bro, builders
of the courthouse addition.
The supervisors adopted a new
trailer park fee of $25 per lot.
The old fee was $50 per lot, but
trailer park owners contested it
in court.
A plan was adopted to divide
the county's insurance business
among agents in the county. The
plan will be administered by an
insurance advisory committee,
and policies will be distributed
under a point system.
The plan was recommended
by q committee of insurance
men, and the supervisors ap-
pointed that committee as the
first insurance advisory commit
tee. Edward K. Uhler is chair
man.

Rockville 10 Allow
I More Houses on
Present Sewer Line

The Rockville City Council
last night decided to let at least
seven more houses hook on to
the towns overburdened sewer
lines before January 81.
The State Board of Health
Monday served a restraining
order on the Mayor and coun-
Gil which said no more sewer
hookups can be made after the
January date. The Health Board
order called the Watts Branch
disposal plant which serves the
main part of town a menace to
health and gave city officials
until next June l to file plans
for correcting the situation by
July /, 1855.
Assistant City Engineer John
MARYLAND said that the seven
houses were built long ago and
should have priority over new
development. They are all on
Bickford avenue in the Lincoln
Park area.
No Promise on HOokup.
The council also granted sewer
permits for about rs lots in the
Maryvale area with the provi-
sion that the developer be given
no promise of when the hookup
would be made. Construction
has begun on some of the Mary
vale lots.
Several times during the meet
ing, spectators fired questions
and comments in town meeting
fashion at Mayor Daniel r. We'd
die and the four-man council.
Ralph E. Williams of 1908
Crawford drive, asked if subdi-
viders planning new housing de-
velopments in the town would
bear a proportionately greater
share of financing new sewer
and water facilities.
Mayor Weddle replied that
both would have to be financed
out of general bond issues.
Questions Developments.
Michael M. Davis, jr., 206 Ad-
clair court, said that if new
housing developments continue
to tax the towns facilities and
result in raising taxes, perhaps
the council should consider call
ing halt to residential devel-
opment in the town.
Mayor Weddle explained that
under the law the council can
not refuse building permits but
can only withhold sewer and
water permits until facilities are
available.
James r. Miller, speaking for
the Rockville Board of Trade.
told council members the town
may lose it's central business
area unless city fathers under
write a parking lot for the re-
tail district.
AS starter he proposed that
the town acquire an $4,000 site
on East Montgomery avenue for
a 120-car parking lot to be ini-
TALLY financed by a general bond
issue and paid of with special
tax on merchants.
Mayor Weddle agreed to ap-
point a committee to study the
idea.

Foes 10 Explore
Legal Action
Residents Advised
1t Moy Be Needed
To Bur Civilian Use

Z Residents of the Andrews Air
Force Base area last night were
advised to explore possible legal
action to prevent commerciali-
zation of the military base.
John r. Reeves, Maryland
Secretary Of State, told about
rs residents Of the airport area
it may become necessary to take
legal steps. if other methods
fail.
He reminded the group, which
met in the Forestville Elemen-
tary school, that residents of
the Burke (Va.) area took legal
steps to head off acquisition of
land for an airport in their COM
munity.
Funds May Be Needed.
Mr.. Reeves also suggested that
citizens may find it necessary to
raise funds to gather engineer
ing data and other evidence
to support their arguments
against use Of the military base
as an alternate to Washington
National Airport.
Andrews Field is a post of
national defense and was never
intended to be used for CONNER
cial airplanes. It's a really fine
facility for the defense of this
country and that is what it
ought to stay" Mr.. Reeves de-
clared.
Fred Spinks, president Of the
Foresville Citizens Association,
who presided at the meeting, re-
minded the group that a Com
merce Department official said
last month plans were moving
ahead for joint use of the field
by military and commercial air.

Lawmakers Aides Speaks.
Lawrence Slater, administra-
tive to Representative Small, Re-
publican, Of Maryland, and Rob-
ert E. Brown, legislative assistant
to Senator Butler. Republican, of.
Maryland, also spoke. Both
pledged continued support of the
entire Maryland delegation in
Congress to prevent commercial
ization of the airport.
Daniel Abbott, Prince Georges
County commissioner. also ad-
dressed the meeting pledging the
support of county officials.
All the speakers said efforts
would be continued to have the
Commerce Department designate
Friendship International Airport,
near Baltimore, as the Washing
ton alternate.
Y Critics of the Andrews Field
plan frequently have argued that
the $25 million expected to be
spent to convert the military
base for commercial use could be
saved by taking advantage Of
Friendship Airport'S facilities.

MANISCHEWITZ PASSOVER
FOODS RECAPTURE
OLD-TIME HOLIDAY DELIGHT

Perhaps the Oldest, the strong
est, the most cherished traditions
in Jewish life center around the
beautiful Passover Seder night,
with its centuries-old ceremonies,
its warmly personal memories of
the holiday joys that marked the
celebration of the Feast of Free
dom in our childhood.
And inevitably, since tradi-
tional Passover foods are so init
mately bound up with the hoG-
day, many Of our fondest recol-
lections are associated with the
multitude of delightful dishes we
enjoyed then, and still enjoy on
Seder Night and throughout Pass
over.
Many of these dishes were diff
ficult enough to prepare, even for
the old-time housewife whose life
was dedicated to the kitchen; they
most certainly would have dis
appeared from the modern Pass
over scene, were it not for the eff
forts of the B. Manischewitz Com
pany to preserve these traditional
foods and make them available
to the modern woman in conven-
lent, ready-to-serve or ready-to-
cook form.
