Montgomery Council
Rejects Restriction
On House Solicitors

The Montgomery County
Council today rejected an ordi-
nance that would have sharply
restricted the activities of door,
to-door solicitors.
The council voted four to three
to table the measure on motion
of Louis A. Gravelle.
Supporting the tabling action
were j. Louis Monarch, Grover
Walker, and Council President
Harold F. Hammond.
Sentiment for the ordinance
appeared strong when it was
submitted several weeks ago. AS
redrafts were made and discus
sion continued the council lost
much of its enthusiasm.
The ordinance would have re-
quired licensing of door-to-door
solicitors to take orders for fu-
ture delivery of merchandise
Applicants would pay a $40 fee,
post a $500 bond and submit
photographs and a statement OF
whether they ever had been con-
victed of a crime.
The council had ordered the
ordinance drafted as a result OF
public indignation over the muir
der of a Takoma Park taxi driver
in Arlington County several
months ago by two magazine So
licitorS.

GreenbeIt's Council
Cuts Budget Request;
Tax Slash Is Aim

The Greenbelt (Md.) City
Council. striving for a cut in the
tax rate. last night chopped
$22,40O from City Manager
Charles McDonald's 1923. 800
budget request for 1854 and
then set aside Monday night
for a public hearing which may
see it cut even further.
The cut reduced the mana
gers proposal to 1907. 400. just
$2,100 under the current years
expenditures. The present tax
rate in Greenbelt is $4.2O per
500 assessed valuation.
''If the reductions we've made
are maintained" one council
man said. we'll cut that tax
rate plenty"
The largest cut in Mr.. McDon-
AIDS request was elimination of
a $4,000 entry providing for a
cost-of-living pay raise for city
employees next year. Such an
increase was promised them by
the board in the event that Fed
eral employees were given a pay
raise.
The Council noted that since
no action by the Federal Gov
ernment on a pay raise could be
taken before July, the city would
need only $4,000.
This" Mayor Frank j. Last
ner said, "could be found some
where in the budget if we econ
omize between now and then"
The new budget must be passed
by December 81. A final draft
will be made public after Mon
days hearing.
The Council also eliminated
$1,000 for employe hospitaliza-
ton. Other cuts included $6,500
from the municipality owned
buildings account, $1,000 from
the community promotion &C
count and $1,000 each from the
roadways and municipal parks
accounts.
