publican Senator's Busch of Con.
necticut and Potter and Ferguson
Of Michigan.
This bill states il is Government
policy to avoid impairment of State
or local government finances
through the acquisition or use of
any defense production facility by
q Federal agency, which would
thus make the property tax
exempt.
Also to be avoided would be re-
curing State or local governments
to provide sewers, streets, water
connections and other services to
Federal properties without com
pensation.
Consent is granted to State and
local governments to levy taxes on
defense production facilities which
are leased or sold conditionally to
taxable persons or which would be
withdrawn from taXation by their
transfer from one Federal agency
to another.
Brief hearings were held on the
Krowland bill last year. One Of the
stumbling blocks to its further con
sideration was the inability of the
Defense Department to estimate
how much the bill would cost il.
Both that department and the
Budget Bureau were asked TO be
ready with estimates this month
when the bill is to be taken up in
committee again.
On the House side, a subcommit-
tee of the Government Operations
Committee held hearings on bill

West Montgomery Citizens
Hear County Officials Talk
On Local Revenue Problems

The why and wherefore of your
tax bill, where your tax money
goes, and the possibilities of new
revenue-were the subjects dis
cussed at the January meeting of
the West Montgomery County Citi-
zens Association at the Potomac
School. The speakers were Mr..
Jeptha Carrel, Clerk to the Mont
gomery County Council and the
County Managers Office, ard Mr..
Alex Hancock, Director of Finance
for the county.
Carrel, rejecting the convictions
of County Manager Beall, pointed
out that Montgomery County has
fiscal problems peculiar to the So
called bedroom community" ad-
joining a large city. Services are
demanded by the residents yet the
sources of revenue are limited. AS
an example, the county official re-
ferred to the "lack of industrial
inducement" in such communities
where industries would ordinarily
contribute a large share to the
county expenses.
On the other hand, according to
Carrel, the residents require
schools, police protection, public
utility services and recreational ia
cilities all of which must come out
of the residential pocket book.
Mr.. Hancock, the fiscal expert for
the county, pointed up the large
amount of the county budget dis
bursements which go into educa-
ton, namely 62.77 per cent. Ac-
cording to Hancock, it requires the
tax bill on a $4,000 assessed home
to send one child to school.
Contrasting the relative unim-
portance of other county expendi-
lures such as judicial and other
salary increases which are often
the subjects of controversy, the FL
nance Director noted that ten per
cent increase in teachers salaries
raise your tax bill five per cent
while other such items such as the
former may amount to only penny
increases on the average tax pay
er's bill.
Education, water supply and
roads are the three big items of
county expenditure, according to
Hancock, and the public demand

Federal Holdings in County
Now Exceed Total Tax Base

Recent statements that Congress
expects to get down to business in
the matter of Legislation authorizing
payments to State and local gov
ernments in lieu of taxes on prop
erty owned by the Federal govern
ment comes as welcome news to
Montgomery County where govern
ing brass is hard pressed for new
and better ways to raise revenue.
1t has been estimated that Mont
gomery county is new losing
around S14 million year in tax
revenue as result O. extensive
Federal holdings in the county.
Tax free acreage owned by the
Federal government here is now es-
timated to be in excess of 1900
acres with an estimated land and
plant value of 800 million. The es-

N the county is now in excess Of

Police Pay
Hike Looks
Doubtful
This Year
Council Barred
From Action by
Boards Authority

The county police associations
long fight for pay raise is doomed
unless it can talk the personnel
board into approving the request,
County Council president Harold
F. Hammond indicated Tuesday.
Hammond said the council is
bound by ruling of County At
torney David Macdonald that the
personnel board has the final say
in salary matters, and may not be
overruled by the council, despite
the support to the pay raise voiced
by several council members.
"The council can't override Mac
donald on the strength of an OPP
posite ruling by an attorney en-
rloyed by the police association"
Hammond said. He referred to an
opinion by Plummer Shearin, pres
ident of the charter committee,
who contested Macdonald's ruling,
asserting that the charter intend
ed for the council to retain final
say in salary matters.
Hammond's statement, which
probably means that the police pay
raise question will be dropped I'M
til the personnel board rules in
favor of ia police. The board
has turned the police down on two
occasions, and has been supported
by County Manager Edward T.
Beall.
The ruling will come as a blow
to several citizens groups who
have supported the police salary
hike. 1t is also expected to be-
come an issue during the coming
campaigns, and may open a move
n1ent for charter amendment to
provide the council with the pow
er Macdonald says it lacks.
The police last spring asked for
a $500 across-the-board increase
to bring their pay closer to sal
aries now paid District policemen.
The raise was almost granted
in November when Councilman
Louis A. Gravelle attempted to
have $4,000 appropriated from
the Councils emergency fund. His
motion was disqualified, however,
as an improper rider on another

Also up for discussion at the

pay for teachers. Any new sched-
ule arrived at by the Board must

Volunteer
.Firenlen
to Be
TakenOver
Beall and Council
Join in Hearts and
Flowers Refrain

County Manager E. T. Beau and
the County Council have Joined
in assuring volunteer firemen
there is nothing to fear from the
county at this time.
In a prepared statement Tues
day Mr.. Beall said there was no
intention on his part to seek to
supplant the subul ban volunteers
with paid departments.
At the same time the county
manager attacked as "regrettable
and unnecessary" renewal of the
debate over the fate of the volun-
teers in recent newspaper stories.
The county manager said his
four months stay in the county
have convinced him the present
fire fighting set up is sufficiently
satisfactory to relegate it any
change to a category of less than
minor Importance" He added he
would not this year or in the near
future urge the council to consid-
er any change.
Mr.. Beall explained he felt there
were bigger and more important
matters to be considered at pres
ent and the success of the county
government depended upon doing
first things first.
Mr., Beall said his statement was
made not only to allay the fears
Of volunteers but also to avoid
having "straw blown up into
haystack" over this issue which is
not of immediate Importance or
concern.
Council president Harold F.
Hammond said one of the farthest

them. Some of these, such as ed
ucation, were not always govern
mental functions mo more than
you would expect the government
to feed and clothe your children"
Hancock stated, but now that we
have grown to expect such educa-
tional services the citizen is
obliged to pay for them.
On the question of seeking new
sources of revenue, the fiscal Off
eial made two observations: ~ try
not to tax the same people through
means which may appear to be new
and less direct. He citsl additional
taxes on public utilities as an ex-
ample where the new tax would
have to be passed on to the rate
payer. (2) Actually the best way
to get greater revenues is to ac-
cept slight increases in those taxes
which produce the most revenue
such as income and sales taxes. AS
far as Montgomery County is con-
cerned, Hancock suggested that it
may be possible through legislation
to have greater share of the in
come taxes now paid in the county
returned to the county by the state.
AS it is now Baltimore City and
Montgomery County are paying
many of the other counties bills.
Stressing the dilemma of the
county administrators, Hancock
cited the general impression on the
part of the average citizen that the
best way to increase revenue is ito
tax the other fellow" He also
noted other such perplexing prob
lens of administration as that
found in the case of locating trash
dumps and incinerators where the
county buys property for such pur-
poses and then public opposition
makes the use of the land for such
purposes impossible.
At the business session of the
meeting the Association endorsed
recommendations Of the Montgom-
cry County Safety Council covering
drivers license renewals, automo-
bile inspection and other safety
measures but reserved endorsement
of the Peoples Court" recommen-
dalton pending more adequate in
formation on the subject.
