ton Of financial and economic
data Of interest to residents and

sible to get up-to-date facts
about the citizens who live in it,
the civic group said.
But the group did find out the
middle income family in the
county was making so per cent
more money than the middle in
come family in the whole State.
And in 1850 the median value
house in the county was $16,136,
according to what home owners
told Federal census takers. The
median for the State was less
than half this amount.
Family Income Average $5,259.
The median family income in
Montgomery was $3.50 in 1949,
exceeded only by Arlington
County in the Washington area.
Nearly 70 per cent of houses
in the county were owner-occu-
pied in 1850. Only two out of
five houses were owner occupied
in Arlington County.
Rents also were higher in the
Montgomery.
The per capita school cost to
the county for the fiscal year
ended June 30. 1852, was $91.41.
In Arlington County the cost was
$57.16; Fairfax $60.O1; Prince
Georges $51.37; Alexandria $33 .03
and the District $34.15.
Police protection cost the coun-
ty $4.68 a person the same year
while the cost in the District was
$12.33, and $4.84 in Alexandria
The other counties were paying
less per capita than Montgomery.
Streets, bridges and highways
also were most expensive in
Montgomery county with the
per capita cost put at $11.58.
Government Costs Climb.
The manual also showed the
cost OF general government in
the county has climbed from
$2.58 a person in 1943 to $3.50
a person in 1852. Other increases
were public safety. 1928 to $6.87;
highways, $1.96 to $4.44 general
tax rate only; health, 81 cents
to $1.63; school operation, $500
to $29.65 and welfare, $1.19 to

triumph settled the question of
which high school team in the

Lastres struck out seven, walk
