Montgomery Budget
Plans Give Citizens
Only | Month S Study

Montgomery County residents
this year will have only month
to study proposed county ex-
penditures and their resultant
tax rates before public hearings
are held.
County Manager E. T. Beall
yesterday came up with a de-
tailed schedule for the presenta-
ton of his budget recommended
ton.
The capital budget will be sub
mitted to the council on April
Is. he said.
But the expense budget and
it's accompanying proposed tax
rate will not be in the councils
hands until May II. two weeks
in advance of legal requirements.
Had Two Months Last Year.
Last year both budgets were
presented to the council in mid
April. giving residents nearly
two months to scrutinize them
before public hearings.
Residents even last year COM
planned they did not have enough
time to study the budget pro-
posals OF the manager.
This will be the first time the
council has received the two
package budget in separate in
Stallments.
The council yesterday also in
dicated approval of Mr.. Beall's
plan for a preliminary hearing
on the capital budget between
April % and April 80. That will
be before the May legislative
session. when the council must
authorize any bond issues antici-
pated.
The preliminary hearing, how
ever, will be given a repeat per-
Torrance in June, when the
council is required to hold hear
ingS on the entire budget.
Asks an Extra Week.
Mr.. Beall also proposes the
council be given about a week
after the June public hearings
to hold a hearing on any pro-
posed budget item increase.
n
should be adopted by the council,
well within the June 80 dead
line. In the past, the council
has gone right up to the dead
line.
Mr.. Beall was complimented by
Council President Harold F.
Hammond for his "businesslike
approach" to the budget prepa-
ration.

Tough Shedding Seen
For Prince GEORGES
Inventory 1axCut Bill
By Gene Goodwin
Sfor Statf Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 10.-Dele-
gate Perry o. Wilkinson, Demo-
crat, of Prince Georges County.
conceded today he would have
great difficulty in getting this
session of the State Legislature
to consider his bill reducing the
inventory tax in his county by
40 per cent.
The 30-day sessions of the
Maryland Legislature are con-
stitutionally restricted to con-
sideration of fiscal, Statewide
and emergency bills.
Must Decide Status of Bill.
The House Rules Committee,
which screens House bills in the
short sessions. will have to de-
termine whether the bill intro
duced yesterday by Mr.. Wilkin-
son and Delegate J. Frank Lii
lard, jr., Republican. of Prince
Georges, is more fiscal than
local.
The Lillard meas
ure would cut by 40 per cent
the personal property tax Prince
Georges County businesses and
corporations now pay on the
stock-in-trade they have on
hand each year. They pay the
same rate on this stock as do
real property owners-$213 for
each 500 of assessed valuation
to the county this year and
SGT cents per 500 to the State.
The Montgomery County House
delegation yesterday introduced
a bill aimed at drastically revis-
ing Maryland's property assess
ment system.
The measure would provide
that the State Tax Commission
assess property at full sales
value"-or the price that will
ing seller would get from a willing
buyer'-for the purpose of State
taxation.
The cities and counties. how
ever, would be permitted. under
the bill, to adopt a percentage
OF that State assessment for
their local taxing purposes.
Seeks More Driver Courses.
Delegate Gilbert GUIDE. Re-
publican, of Montgomery, re-
vealed, meanwhile. that he plans
to introduce a bill this week to
encourage more entertaining
courses in Maryland high
schools.
The bill would raise the fee
for driver instruction permits so
cents a year from the present 81
until a So level is reached. That
money would be used by the
State Board of Education to set
up entertaining courses in
schools that want them.
Mr.. Guide said the number of
high school driver-training
courses in Maryland has dwin-
died from 80 in 1948-49 to 70
today.
Mr.. Guide also reported that
he and Delegate Julian King,
Republican. of Montgomery, are
looking for some Democrats to
join them in sponsoring a bill to
allow police to use a chemical
sobriety test on drivers picked
up for drunken driving.
Mr.. King and Mr.. Guide in
troduced a similar bill last year
but it was defeated.

Montgomery Council
Puts Session With
Board Off the Record
By ChorIes l. Hoffman

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil last night clamped a lid of
secrecy on a session with the
personnel board, which recently
has drawn the fire of several
councilmen.
The meeting was listed on the
Councils agenda as part of a
public session.
1t was called after the dis
closure two weeks ago the board
had held a long closed hearing
on the appeal of a dismissed po-
liceman.
Councilman Louis A. Gravelle
had termed the situation Shock
ing" and the board last week
resumed the hearings to permit
nearly a dozen of the police
mans character witnesses to
testify.
Word around the county build
ing prior to yesterdays off-the-
record session was that the meet
ing would produce fireworks.
Just as it was to get under way
Mr.. Hammond told reporters the
meeting would be "off the record
but that they could take notes
on the discussion. Then, he
said, he would approve what was
to be released to the public.
Mr.. Hammond. however. left
the session early and Mr..
Gravelle took over the chair
manShip.
Reporters seeking to find what
could be made public were in
formed by Mr.. Gravelle that
Its all off the record"
Mr.. Gravelle later said his de-
cision was made because the
meeting was more or less per-
SOnal stuff. lust little pabfest. "

the State Roads Commission to

Ohio Fuel Receives First Shipment OF Pipe
In Project To Move Natural Gas Across Ohio

The years first big shipmen
of pipe for the Ohio Fuel Ga:
company was completed this
week when the last of " cal
loads was delivered in what
tunred out to be an all-Ohio in
dustrial job.
Bernard Reed, local manager
said the pipe is part of a half
million dollar pipeline project
1t will complete the final link
of a line to move natural gas
across the central part of the
state.
Here's how Ohio industry
worked together to complete the
job in record time:
The 20-inch steel pipe was
made in Lorain, in the Lorain
Works, National Tube Division
of United States Steel. When
welded end to end, the pipe will
extend more than IA miles.
Delivery of the pipe was made
by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road. It,was sent in several ship
Inents from Lorain to Derby, o.,
approximately 20 miles south OF
Columbus.
There the pipe was unloaded
by the Ohio Pipeline Construc-
ton Co. of Granville.
Some time this spring that
pipe will be the final link in a
65-mile '1oop" line from Sugar
Grove near Lancaster to Howell
Junction near Dayton.
Mr.. Reed said a 'loop" line is
one that parallels another gas
line to give added capacity.
Completion of the new line
will have an effect on the entire
system of Ohio Fuel. During
summer months more out-of-
state gas can be sent to Craw-
ford Station, Sugar Grove, and
hence to underground storage,
There it will be available to the
entire system.
The line also will bolster sup
plies to Ohio FUELS western
Ohio markets such as Spring
field and Urbana, and the whole
areas of Dayton and Cincinnati
during winter months. That
when demands are high and gas
is withdrawn from storage.
The 14-mile section of the loor
TO be completed is from Mt
Sterling directly east. Ohio Fuel
has compressor station at Mt
Sterling.
A 25-mile section of the loor
was completed in 1852. A 26.
mile segment was finished last
year from Sugar Grove toward
Mt. Sterling, crossing the Scioto
River.

Circuit Rides Again
Bv EVELYN WEAVER

After a very full Sunday of
teaching, preaching, funeral,
singing in vesper presentation,
and visiting; it takes a little
while to shift gears and start
another week. AS l glance at my
schedule for this coming week,
l find that l will be in the
county every day. Maybe I'll
have some time to drink in some
of this spring weather which ]
hope will continue.
Monday evenings youth rally
at Summerfield was we'll rep
resented by. the different youth
groups in the county. An excel
lent presentation was made on
Christian vocations and / be-
lieve everyone participated in
one form or another. A Youth
Fund report was given. This re-
minds me to remind you that
our Christian Outreach or mis-
sionary banquet will be on Mon
day, May 3 at the Caldwell
church. 1t is not too early to be
making plans in your local
groups to attend this. I'll be
writing later on the details of
it. We have our speaker for it,
a Japanese student from Musk
ingum, a young man who serv-
ed in the japanese army during
the last war. He is a fine Chris
tan man.
AS I am looking ahead into
June, l am beginning to think
in terms of Vacation Bible
Schools. If any of you might like
to use my services during the
first three weeks of June, l
would like to know very soon.
The minister and teachers
should begin to plan now. With
all these various school activi-
ties such as plays, getting ready
for commencement ETC., time
seems to get away from us and
then it is too late. Churches
| ought to decide from one year
to another whether Vacation
Schools are important enough to
put it into the schedules; also
the budget for it does take some
money to do a good job. If
thought enough teachers or
would-be teachers were interest
ed enough in getting some train
ing, l would be most happy to
help you; either to come out
and meet with you or have a
central training school.
Next Sunday l will be out at
Carlisle with teaching, preach
ing and visiting.

For Those In Authority

ROT 1nUSG III 1AAtliOIlLy
"When the righteous are in
authority, the people rejoice: but
when the wicked beareth rule,
the people mourn" proverbs
29:3).
When the above words were
written, the people were ruled
by kings. The citizens of coun-
try did not have the privilege of
voting for their national lead
ers. The king held office until
he died. After that he was sue
ceeded by his son. The only 9TH
er way one could become king
would be by a coup. In either
case it would not be by popular
choice.
Under such a system there
would be benevolent rulers and
wicked rulers. When the bene-
VIOLENT ruled, the people were
happy and usually prospered.
The moral standards were usual
ly high. But when the king was
wicked person, the people were
oppressed, at war, unhappy.
Licentiousness was rampant. The
moral and spiritual attitudes of
the king had their influence on
the people. But it can also be
said that many times the moral
and spiritual state of the popu-
lace determined the kind of
ruler they would have.
In a democracy, the citizens
have greater responsibility.
The kind of leaders nation has
is a revelation of the moral and
spiritual condition of the in
dividuals. A man cannot hold an
office unless the people vote to
give him that office. If there is
a man in public office who is
dishonest, a liar, who habitually
uses profane or blasphemous
language, given to drinking in
| toxicating liquor, who encour-
ages all kinds of vice, the people
who voted for. him must bear
the blame. Making man coun-
Gilman, a mayor, a state rep
resentative, a governor, a con-
| gresham, a president will not
change his character. And when
a man is in office, he can be
expected to make decisions in
keeping with his character. Qt
We assume that people can be
| ignorant of d mans character
when they vote for him, they are
still responsible if that man re-
vealS himself and they do not
take the proper steps to remove
him from office.) 1t could be
that the voter has some ulterior
or selfish motive in making such
a choice.
When the individual elector
honestly wants good, clean gov
ernment, he can have it. 1t may
take courage; it may demand
sacrifice; it may mean opposing
the wishes of friends, neighbors
relatives or fellow-members o.
an organization. If he is morally
and spiritually right, he viii
have these characteristics.
The teaching of Jesus is jus
as much for a group of people
a nation-as it is for individuals
Seek ye first the kingdom o
God, and His righteousness; anc
all these things( necessities o
life) shall be added unto you.
| Matthew $3.50. The Apostle
Paul tells us that "the kingdom
of God is not meat and drink
but righteousness, and peace
and JOY in the Holy Ghost.
/ (Romans 14:10.
righteousness eXalteth a ma
ton: but sin is a reproach to any
people" proverbs 14:34.
