A bill which would turn over
part of the County Councils pow
erful coming powers to the Board
of Appeals was introduced Tues
day during the third Council leg
islative session.
The measure, sponsored by
Councilman George F. Nesbitt,
would empower the Board of APP
peals to act on individual coming

The Council, however, would
retain authority to act on coming
ordinance text amendments or to
alter sectional and district plans
for the county.
The bill also would continue
the Department of Inspection and
Licenses authority to receive ap-
plications for filing and process
ing.
Another bill, co-sponsored by
Mrs. Stella B. Werner and La
throp E. Smith, would take Lay
louisville fire tax area out of the
present Damascus, Gaithersburg-

Other bills under consideration
call for tighter regulation of
guest registers in hotels and tour
ist homes; authorization of codes
to regulate potentially objection
able industries; barring appear
ance of county employees or APP

Council Seeks
Court Action
On Assessment
Says Tax Office
Preoccupied With
Nov. Election

~ The County Council mapped
plans Tuesday to take the State
Tax Commission into court for
failure to order reassessments of
all property in counties where
assessments fall below the As to
55 per cent mark.
Council members also agreed
to an investigation of alleged in
equities in Montgomery County
created by local assessing offic-
ialS.
Legal action against the state
was proposed after Councilman
Louis A Gravelle scored as
"double-talk" a letter from tax
commission chairman Deeley K.
Nice.
Nice's letter, the fourth in a
round of correspondence between
the Council and Commission
since December, acknowledged
that 1854 state tax levies were
based on unregulated 1858 assess
mentS.
He reiterated that present as
sessments are showing an ex-
cellent result" in achieving uni
formity.
Commenting on previous Coun-
/. Gil queries concerning steps be-
fling taken by the Commission to
bring about uniformity Nice
said, ''We canot understand why
you continually ask such ques-
tons as this unless it be for
some political reason, which we
certainly hope is not true"
Councilman George F. Nesbitt
sailed back: "The Commission
seems to have only the first
Tuesday in November on it's
mind"

Carroll Resigns
For Manager Job
In Xenia, Ohio

Jeptha Carroll, acting Mont.
gomery County Manager, has
handed in his resignation to take
the job of city Manager in Xenia,
Ohio.
Assistant County Manager here
since 1852, Carroll said he hopes
to take over his new duties early
next month.
The Xenia job will pay $500
to start, with an $1,000 top
salary.
Carrelrs resignation leaves the
County without an experienced
man ready to take over the helm.
County Manager Edward T.
Beall, who has been on leave
without pay for a month, is in
a hospital for surgery.
The County Council has not
acted on the case of Beall, who
was named in Portsmouth, Ohio
where he formerly was City
Manager-in six findings for re-
covery" of some $1,000 missing
during his administration.
The Portsmouth grand jury
has given Beall Friday deadline
to appear before it to explain the
missing money.
Beall's doctors report he may
be well enough by then to appear
before the grand jury. Meantime,
the Montgomery County Council
was attending pat on his case.

Demos Register
698 New Voters
To 1892 for COP

Democratic registrations in
Montgomery County point to-
ward "a major housekeeping at
the polls" a Democratic chieftain
predicted yesterday.
Blair Lee III, publicity chair.
man of the county's Democratic
Harmony ticket, said the up
surage" of his party's registra
ton is reversing the. trend of the
past two years.
II think the new trend of re
gistration is evidence of deep
rooted discomfort with the COP
administration at national, State
and county levels" Lee said.
Between April 10, when re.
gistrations opened, and last
Thursday, sos Democrats and 1892
Republicans were registered by
special boards in Silver Spring,
Bethesda and at what Lee called
"one-night stands in outlying
communities" throughout the
county.
The 7.to-4 ratio of new registra.
tons in favor of the Democrats
is lin sharp contrast" Lee said,
"to the two-year period of 1852
and 1858, when the two parties
showed respective net gains of
1909 Republicans and only
1927 Democrats"
AS of last January /, Demo
Gratis had 48,039 voters registered
and the Republicans, 31,873 in
Montgomery County.

City Hears
Councilman Probe
Sewers, Bottles,
In Fast Take-Off

Rockville will have to ration
its water again this summer, the
City Council was told Tuesday
night.
The quick turnabout - follow
ing repeated promises that the
problem was solved was blamed
on the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission.
City Manager John Mcdonald
said Rockville has spent $193,000
to virtually complete its part Of
the new water tank and pipeline
to connect with the W.S.S.C. line.
But, he noted, the commission
has not begun its 6,100-foot line
from Waverly Sanitarium to the
corporate limits of Rockville to
hook up with the citys extended
line.
Dry weather so far this year
probobly means the city's "a wells
will average 10 per cent below
their regular level-indicating a
dangerous situation again, Nc,
Donald added.
The Council agreed it should
draw up letter to the public"
explaining the problem and ask
ing residents to voluntarily con-
serve water this summer.
Sewer Program
The Council also heard from
Mcdonald that the $4,000 bond
issue for sewer work will only
temporarily end that problem.
Council members discussed the
possibility of putting in a 21-inch,
instead of the proposed 1S-inch
line to Cabin John Valley and
decided to talk it over with
W.S.S.C. authorities early next
month.
So our readers can get the
full story of what Rockville has
been doing to solve its water
and sewer problems, the Sen
tinel today carries on Page

ports to the Council.
Off to a fast start, the new
Mayor and City Council-elected
May 3-held three meetings dur
ing their first eight days in
office.
They first met the day after
Rockville's voters swept the Good
Government slate into office on
the crest of tidal wave of bal
lots.
At that meeting, they discussed
priority lists of the city's prob
lens; mapped the possibility of
an annual audit, and approved
payment of $1,782 for election
day costs.

Old Shoe Ideal
For Young Dog
.Cutting-Teeth
By Peter Boqqs

You would not hit or scold q
teething human baby for gnaw-
in at a rubber "teething ring"
You would know the youngster
was trying instinctively to ease
the keen discomfort of his half
cut teeth.
Yet, when a teething puppy
chews a slipper or a rug. ETC..
you punish him.
Instead, get him some harm
less thing to chew on-a rubber
bone or a hard rubber toy; best
of all an old shoe of your own
from which all the metal has
been cut. The shoe will give
him the scent of your tread and
make him familiar with it. This
will be of use in later days
when he wants to track you.
Some dogs lack the wit OF
instinct to see or smell snakes
and thus to avoid them. In the
South, many fine hunting dogs
circling for quail are struck by
poisonous rattlers. Sometimes
the bite is not fatal if the dog
runs to mud bog and buries
himself up to the eyes and nose
The mud draws out the poison
This is probably an instructive
