Laurel Group Hits
CiNCounci|P Proposal
ToRaise Bonded Debt
By Tom Burke

A plan by the City Council Of
Laurel, Md, to increase the
city's bonded debt so that streets
and sewers may be completed in
an area annexed by the city
two years ago has aroused strong
public opposition.
A bill in the hands of the
Prince Georges County delega-
ton to the Maryland General
Assembly is the immediate tar
get of the citizens ire. It would
enable the council to increase by
100000 a capital improvements
bond issue of 100000 already
authorized. The bill does not
provide for a referendum.
Opponents claim the bill also
would convert the bond program
from special revenue bonds is
sued on the credit of the Fair
lawn subdivision to a general
bond issue backed by the full
credit of the city.
Mayor Merrill L. Harrison yes
terday denied that anything
would be changed by the bill
except the total amount of the
bond issue. He said Laurel resi-
dents who do not live in the Fair
lawn subdivision would not have
to pay for the improvements.
Views on Bonds Differ.
Mayor Harrison added that
bond attorneys consulted by the
city offer different views con-
corning the actual status of the
bonds already authorized. One
opinion is that the bonds already
are city liability while the other
opinion holds that the bonds are
strictly revenue bonds for a
special district.
Twenty residents have an
nounced their opposition to the
bill and have scheduled a meet
ing with the county legislative
delegation at 10 am. Thursday at
Annapolis. The bill has not yet
been introduced in the Assembly.
Opponents of the plan include
Kent r. Mullikin, a former
Democratic floor leader of the
General Assembly; John Stan
ley, past president of the
Maryland State Bar AsSocia-
ton; William F. Mccormick,
present foreman of the county
grand jury: Norris Beall and
Maynard Ward, former members
of the City Council, and Vincent
D. Cockey, a former county COM
missioner.
The citizens group will press
for abandonment of tbs bill be-
fore it is introduced or, if this
fails, will seek inclusion of a
referendum provision which
would enable city residents to
have the final. word on the plan.
Blow to City Credit Seen.
eve feel that the mayor and
council are honest, well meaning
people who are not too well
versed in financial affairs" Mr..
Mullikin said. He added that the
financial credit rating of the city
would undoubtedly be lowered
if the plan goes through.
Fairlawn subdivision became q
part of Laurel in 1850 through
legislative enactment.

Arlington Minister
Takes Issue With
Public School Critics

The Rev. Ross Allen Weston
took issue with foes of the pub
lie school system in his sermon
at the Arlington Unitarian
Church yesterday.
He said many of the persons
currently attacking public schools
are mot worried because our
schools are n-American. They
are worried because our schools
are precisely too American"
The topic of his, sermon was
American Education Under
Fire" He cited examples of at
tacks on public schools through
out the country. and particularly
in the nearby Virginia area:
I'm Falls Church, the town
was split wide open over charges
Of maladministration against the
school board. In Fairfax County,
a wave of protest has broken
over proposed school bond is
sue. In Arlington County, the
vocabulary of Allen A. Zoll, ex-
ecutive vice president of the Ma
tional Council for American
Education. keeps popping up in
school affairs, and the local
American Legion Post has ap-
pointed committee to investi-
gate the textbooks used in Ar
lington schools.
Once before when Mr.. Weston
devoted a Sunday sermon to local
affairs he was held in contempt
of court. That was when he
criticized the Arlington Circuit
Court decision banning Federal
employees from the County Board.
The Virginia Supreme Court re-
Gently agreed to review his con-
tempt conviction In that case.
