Bill Asks Sharp Raise
For ; Commissioners
On Sanitary Agency
By Gene Goodwin
Stov Stoff CORRESPONDENT

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 2l.-A Dill
before the Maryland General
Assembly today to provide sharp
salary increases for three WASH
ington Suburban Sanitary COM
missionerS is causing a family
squabble among the Republican
delegates from Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties.
The bill was introduced yes
terday under the name of the
Prince Georges delegation.
It would provide that the SAL
ary of Commission Chairman
Raymond w. Bellamy, Cheverly.
be raised from $500 to $500.
Commission Member j. Norman
Agar. West Hyattsville, would
be increased from $4,000 to
$500. The third commission
member, L. S. (Ted) Ray. Silver
Spring. would be raised from
$4,000 to $500.
Mr.. Ray is now designated in
the law as the only full-time
member of the commission. The
two Prince Georges County
members are designated as part
time.
The six-member Montgomery
House representation refused to
sponsor the pay raise bill. Meas
ures concerned with the Sani-
tary commission. which operates
in both counties, ordinarily are
introduced by both counties
jointly.
Other Opposition Indicated.
There were also indications
that some members of the six
man Prince Georges County
delegation are opposed to the
bill.
Just where the measure orig
mated is somewhat of a mystery.
Delegates Albert r. Hassall
and j. Frank Lillard, both Prince
Georges County Republicans,
said it was requested by the
commission. Mr.. Hassall is
chairman of the delegation.
Both said they support the
measure.
However, two Of the three
commissioners. Mr.. Ray and Mr..
Agar, denied that the commits
sion asked for the salary in
crease. The three commission
ers were here yesterday for a
hearing on their legislative pro-
posals.
Mr.. Hassall said the commits
sioners have not been granted
a substantial pay increase since
the agency was created in 1927.
Both delegates contended the
two part-time commissioners are
devoting full time to their du-
ties.
Two main points were devel-
oped at the hearing on legiSla-
ton to authorize a $11.9 million
spending program by the COM
mission:
/. The commission went into
the hole $50, 900 last year on its
refuse collection and disposal
system in Montgomery County.
2. The commission will have to
build another incinerator at
Bladensburg or find some land
fill sites to take care of several
Prince Georges County towns.
which up until this week, have
been selling their refuse to hog
farms. That practice is now
banned by order of the State Ag-
ricultural Board, unless the gar
bage is cooked.
The commission is attempting
to transfer the garbage system
to Montgomery County, but it in
siSts that the deficit must be as
Sumed along with all the equip
ment and facilities. George F.
Nesbitt, president of the Mont
gomery County Council. said the
county wants no part of the
refuse collection until it is put
on a going basis"
Townsend Wainwright, f1nan-
cial conSultant to the commits
sion, said he does not believe the
$11.9 million spending program
will necessitate increasing the
commissions tax rate but prob
ably will result in higher sewer
charges.

are still exhausting their budget. "
According to the report from
Boston, housewives were not the
only ones concerned with the boost
in the price Of coffee. After the
hike went into effect. Boston
cafeteria reduced tea from 10 to
5 cents to discourage coffee sales.
For the same reason, a Spring
field, Mass. restaurant recently
offered free tea to its patrons.
Good buys at the meat counter
were reported from Dallas and
New Haven. Meat prices in Dallas
are lower than at any times in
10 years, with the exception of
bacon. Round steak is selling at

Grocery officials interviewed in
various cities predict that prices
will remain stable FOR some time.
Right now the wage dollar buys

memory and I've been in the bus

Huffing, vice president of the In

NEW YORK Up - The end Of
price controls has brought more
''ups" than downs, but has left
unchanged many items in the aver
age Americans budget.
That's the conclusion reached in
an Associated Press 23-city sur
yey on the effects of decontroI on
the cost Of living.
The survey shows these increas-
es: cigarettes up / or 2 cents a
pack, and coffee up 2 to 5 cents
pound at all points; gasoline
up in eight cities; and bread up
in six cities.
According to the check, there
have been no significant price
changes in clothing, home fuels,
restaurant meals or butter since
the last controls were removed
March II.
The big item moving downward
has been meat; some housewives
interviewed say the drop in the
price Of meat has balanced the
hike in coffee and cigarettes,
leaving their grocery bill about
where it was before decontrol.
Increases in gasoline range from
three-tenths Of a cent in Cleve-
land and Columbus, o., to about
3 cents in Seattle and San Fran

cisco. Gasoline is up 2 cents in
Los Angeles, Ia cents in st. Louis,
and one-half cent in Boston.
The price Of a loaf Of bread
has been liked one-haf cent in
Boston, and / cent in st. Louis,
Kansas City, Los Angeles, Seattle
and Pittsburgh.
Other items which now cost
more than in the control period:
such building materials as cement,
brick, gypsum products, wall board
and plumbing supplies: copper
clad stainless steel cooking uten-
sis; lamps and light bulbs; steel
drums and pals; office machinery,
and some rugs and hnoleurn.
Increases are predicted for bed
sheets in the next few weeks; for
mems suits next fall; and for basic
steel in the near future.
One of the big price cuts since
decontrol came when Chrysler
slashed its prices by an average
of 500 per car. Other auto makers
did not follow.
There are suggestions that some
Of the rises which came quickly
after the death of controls will
not last. The National Association

In the words of an Indianapolis

items have been affected, because

interests. We farmers of Madi-
son County as well as the far
mers of the State are having
controversy with a corporation
known as the ("General Tele-
phone Company of Ohio. 1t
seems to me, as well as to many
others that this company and the
State Utilities Commission have
something in common, in that
this company can get an increase
in rates any time they ask for
it without giving anything in re-
turn. Farm rates today are the
highest of any company in the
State. Farm service thru this COM
pany are the poorest.
Several years ago we farmers
in Somerford Twp. ask for Elec-
trio Service thru the Champaign
County Farm Bureau and the
State Farm Bureau. Both parties
turned us down flat, and only
thru the efforts of Mr.. Marshall
of Xenia were we able to get
results, In fact, it took Mr.. Mar
shall COur Congressman just
forty-eight (48) hours to do this.
In matters such as this, no in
dividual farmer can fight a cor
poration as powerful as this, and
win, or get justice. This is where
our farm bureau, if they are
worthy of being a farm organiza-
ton should step in.
Mr.. Farmer, lets find out if our
farm bureau is worthy of it's
name. Let's find out if all they
want is our money. Lets find out
if this is farm organization
willing to fight for us and with
us. Mr.. Farm Bureau we need
your help right now. Either do
or die.
Yours Respectfully

TB CONTROL

X-Ray Units Cover
Entire County In
Week-Lonq Drive

tuberculosis still exists as a
public health problem. Once the
leading cause of death in this
country it now ranks in ninth
place. Most cases of tuberculosis
can be cured if discovered early.
This is due to the discovery of
newer drugs as well as better
hospital facilities and follow-up
care. The best way to discover
early tuberculosis is by chest
x-ray. Apparently healthy peo-
pie may have early tuberculosis
without feeling sick. Such per-
son stands very good chance of
being cured in short time if
early treatment is started.
Every resident of Madison
County will have the opportunity
to get a free chest x-ray this
month. Two mobile x-ray units
of the Ohio Department of
Health will be in Madison Coun-
ty for six days. The only effort
required by the residents of this
community to make sure they do
not have tuberculosis is to take
a few minutes and walk in one
of the units for your free x-ray.
No disrobing is required = it
takes just few seconds to take
the x-ray - you will receive a
report of your x-ray. Tuberculo-
sis can be eliminated q its up
to you and your neighbor. Get
a chest x-ray this month.
The mobile units are scheduled
in the community as follows:
