The majority of the localities.

"Total attendance undoubtedly
set an all-time record" James

of the Washington Home Build
ers' Association, said today.
"No one could possibly make
an exact count--so large were
the crowds-but we estimate total
attendance conservatively at
more than 100, ,000."
Fast and Furious Sales.
= Sales, too. were surprisingly
fast and furious in projects in
the medium price field, with one
builder reporting more than 80
houses sold between Saturday
afternoon and Sunday night.
Several builders reported big
volume sales, while others show
ing but single house reported
their houses were sold. Home

Taking advantage of this
spirit, one builder served free
coffee to adults and provided
pony rides for the children.
Easy Financing Helps.
Easy financing provided under
the new Housing Act helped
sales along, builders said, since
it lowered down payments and
extended mortgage terms so that
monthly payments are far lower
than previously.
A whole new group OF fami-
/ lilies thus have become potential
buyers, builders pointed out.

McKeIdin Burdens
County Taxpayers,
Northrop Charges

A Montgomery County Demo-
crat yesterday accused the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission of forcing Mont
gomery taxpayers to pay of
Gov. McKeldin's political obli-
cations in Prince Georges Coun-
ty."
The attack came from Edward
S. Northrop, candidate for the
State Senate, in statement is
sued at the formal opening Of the
Montgomery Democratic cam
paign headquarters, Wheaton.
Mr.. Northrop was referring to
the recent order by the sanitary
commission providing water and
sewer services for Camp Springs.
Morningside and Lanham-Sea-
brook which commission experts
had said would cause a large
operating deficit because of the
sparsely settled area to be served.
Cites Ray Opposition.
"Even one of the Republican
bosses of Montgomery County
found it too much to stomach
assessing Montgomery County
taxpayers for political activities
of the Republicans" Mr.. North
rop said. He referred to L. S.
(Ted Rays declaration in op-
posing the action that Mont
gomery County would have to
help pay the deficit.
Mr.. Northrop said the COM
mission ordered the connections
at an estimated cost of $2.8 mil
lion after Gov. McKeldin had
told it that Representative
Frank Small, Republican of the
5th district, needed the areas
votes.
Notes Tax Rise.
Because of the tremendous
increases in assessments in
Montgomery County. this coun-
ty now pays approximately 60
per cent of the operating costs
of the sanitary commission, so
you can see what this will mean
to taxpayers in this county," Mr..
Northrop said.
The Senate candidate also
said the commission "still is
dragging its feet" on installation
of the Northwest Branch trunk
sewer, which would open up a
large section of the North
Wheaton area, because it be-
lieves there is not enough de-
velopment to pay the cost.
