Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1954-06-17

I 2. 1t is my opinion that both
the taxpayers and the county it.
self would benefit by the impor.
tation of some Eight" industry
into the county. Of course, it
must be remembered that we are
basically a residential county.
and that any industry which
would be brought in would have
to be placed and located in only
those areas which would in no
wise conflict with the general
design of this area. If it could
be determined that these new
Eight" industries could be stu
ated so that there would be no
depreciation of property value
of the residents of this area, then
I believe Montgomery County
could derive a great deal of bene-
fit from this measure.
3. I am in favor of Home
Rule.
4. No matter what the personal
opinion l might at one time have
had regarding non-segregation,
the Supreme Courts decision has
made this a moot point and all of
us must do our part in carrying
out this decision.
5. Even though the lower end
of our county is composed prirn-
arily of residential dwellings the
farmer is still basic part of this
county. He suffers tremendously
from the tax setup which has
been imposed upon him and if we
continue in our present status we
will ultimately drive the farmer
out of the county and to me this
would be very serious mistake.
6. 1 am running for the House
of Delegates because 1 feel that
it is duty of each and every
citizen to do everything that is
possible to help promote the well
fare of our State and the resi-
dents of our county. 1 feel that
our government needs young
men who are interested in taking
part in its affairs and helping to
make our State and county great

1. In both the 1853 and 1854
sessions of the General Assembly
was the co-sponsor of several
bills designed to give Montgom-
cry County more State aid for
it's schools. These bills failed of
passage primarily because the
poorer and more rural counties
hold the balance of power. In my
opinion until a Constitutional
Convention is held, which will
bring about re-apportionment
of the General Assembly, it will
be difficult, if not impossible, to
change the formula for the dis
tribution of State aid.
2. believe it would be desir-
able to bring light industry to
Montgomery County and l will
support legislation designed to
attract such industry, although it
is primarily county problem
which cannot be solved at Anna
polls. Such a problem is, of
course, a long term one and can
not solve the immediate tax pro-
blems of the county. Neverthe
less the time to start is now.
Propore care must, of course,
be exercised to bring only that
type of industry to Montgomery
County which would be beneficial
and which would be able to
utilize existing Montgomery
County residents and would pay
a. wage scale comparable to the
average income of the county.
3. My record at the General
Assembly is one of consistent sup
port of home rule. 1 co-sponsored
and voted for the following legis-
lation which was passed by the
General Assembly.
(a.) Return of control of the
Liquor Board to Montgomery
County.
(b) Election of the Montgom-
cry County School Board.
(c.) Taking from the Cover
nor and giving to the respective
State Central Committees power
of appointment to the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
