County Pays
So Million In
Sale, Use Tax

With a total sales and use tax
collection of $2,167, 055 for the
1854 fiscal year, Montgomery
County ranked second in the
State in producing revenue from
that source, j. Willard Tawes,
State Comptroller, said this week.
Total fiscal year sales and use
tax collections for the State
amounted to $32, 79O,828. The
current fiscal year total for the
State exceeds that of the previous
year by $815,532.32 or 2.55 per-
cent.
Montgomery County showed a
400 percent increase over a SINH
lar period represented by an addi-
tional sos, 39O.
The County's $2,167,O55 in col
lections made up 6.61 percent of
the States tax take from this
revenue Source-a percentage ex-
ceeded only by Baltimore City
which accounted for over so per-
cent of the total and Baltimore
County with more than eight per-
cent.
AS in the case of State tax re.
turns, general merchandising ac-
counted for most of the County's
tax take - $738,528. In second
place in the County was the
utility and transportation indus
try win 1927 ,607, followed by:
Lumber, builders and contrac-
tors, 1854, 1854; food and bever-
age, $252,1OO; apparel. $217,971;
miscellaneous, $174,886; auto
motive, $133,972; and furniture
and appliances, $97
All County categories took part
in the total increase over the last
fiscal year, but the biggest per-
centage gains were scored by the
food and beverage division =
over IL percent = apparel and
utilities and transportation, both
win gains of more than eight
percent.
In announcing the returns, Mr..
Tawes pointed out that the Sales
and Use tax collections are one of
the main sources of State revenue
out of which the principal expen-
diture is for public school
support.

Child,
One Match
Sure Fire

"A child plus a match is sure
fire combination" says A. ".
Krewatch, agricultural engineer,
University of Maryland Extension
Service.
KreWatch, who works with the
state fire prevention program,
says latest figures show that
three out of every ten fire ia
taIitles are children II years old
or younger One-third of such
deaths occur on farms.
Fire Prevention Week, October
80, is a good time to make sure
that your children grow-up-not
burn up, says KreWatch. He urg-
es that you teach your children
fire safety rules.
One way small youngsters can
learn fire safety is by instruction
and good example. Tell them why
they are not to play with match
cs, electrical cords and other po-
tential sources Of fire in the
home. Also impress upon them
the danger of gasoline and kero-
sene fumes.
Explain to children the dangers
of bringing matches and other
incendiary articles near dry hay,
straw or underbrush, or near en-
gines or the fuel supply for farm
machinery. Children who are old
enough should be taught to use
fire extinguishers, and know how
to call the local volunteer fire
department.

Up-County
Zone Law
Still Alive
Motion to Table
Ordinance Fails
As Council Tiffs

Upper Montgomery County's
proposed two-year coming ordi-
nance Tuesday stubbornly re.
fuses to die.
A motion by Republican Coun-
Gilman Louis A. Gravelle Tues
day to table the measure was lost
for lack of a second and drew an
angry attack from Democrat
Stella B. Werner.
Gravelle prefaced his motion
with a warning that the present
ordinance would be tiled up in
litigation for years"
He asked that a committee Of
three up-County residents be
formed to work with County
planners on new code.
"Mr. Gravelle has spoken in
true Gravelle fashion," Mrs. Wer.
ner fired at her opponent in the
November 2 elections. "He wants
to table controversial issue and
not face up its problems.
During the outburst Council
man j. Louis Monarch asked that
personalities be kept out of the
picture"
Mrs. Werner went on to call
for a detailed examination of the
measure. 1--WE shouldn't just
blind ourselves and say we won't
do anthing about it," she said.
Gravelle read a letter from o.
w. Anderson, chairman of the
Landowners association of Upper
Montgomery County scoring the
proposed ordinance and its spon-
sor the Upper Montgomery Coun,
ty Planning commission.
Anderson pointed out that the
rural planning agency has al
ready cost taxpayers $70,000-85
percent of which has come from
levies on down-county property.
He charged that the UMCPCs
financial structure is "unsound
and morally indefensible."
But when the verbal crossfire
cleared the Council went along
with Mrs. Werner's proposal and
began Flooding through the Al
