Maryland Assembly
To Study Taxes on
Liquor and Race Bets
BY the Assoeio,sd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 15.-
The pace Of the 1854 Maryland
Legislature is expected to quick
en- this week as the lawmakers
warm up to their jobs with a few
hot issues-taxes on liquor, horse
race bets and corporations.
They resume work at 8 o'clock
tonight after the weekend re-
cess, with the Senate set to give
final approval to the liquor-tax
increase and send it upstairs for
action by Gov. McKeldin.
The House Ways and Means
Committee will sink its teeth in
to two choice morsels of contro-
verSy tomorrow, when it begins
hearings on proposals to change
the corporation tax and give the
State a bigger slice of horse
race bets.
Explain Money Needs.
The money committees of both
houses also are scheduled to
continue hearing heads of the
various State departments ex-
plain their money needs for next
fiscal year. Education and roads
officials are due tomorrow and
Wednesday, followed by officials
from the tidewater fisheries.
game and inland fish, forests
and parks, and research and
education departments.
They will be asked to justify
the amounts recommended for
them by the Governor in record
1898 million budget proposals for
fiscal 1886.
Sponsors said they expect lit
tie trouble when the liquor tax
bill comes up in the Senate. Last
Friday it got an 1879 vote for
adoption of the favorable finance
committee report.
Last year Gov. McKeldin We
toed an identical measure. which
would boost the tax from $l.25
to $3.50 a gallon and give the
counties so cents of this. But
supporters in both houses are
confident they are strong enough
to override if the Governor We
toes again.
AS the House Ways and Means
Committee prepared hearings on
the corporation tax proposal of
Delegate Whitworth, Republican,
of Allegany, Baltimore legisla-
tors scurried about to muster
opposition to it. The measure,
calling for what amounts to a
personal property tax at the
site Of the property rather than
where corporation home Offices
are located. would cost the city
an estimated $1.159,000 a year.
Race Bet Issue.
Also scheduled for a hearing
by the committee tomorrow is the
suggestion by Delegate Boone.
Democrat, of Baltimore County
that the State take 9 per cent
of money bet at the Maryland's
one-mile thoroughbred tracks.
The State already gets 4 per
cent and the tracks 6. Mr..
Boone tossed his idea before the
committee as possible substi-
tute for Gov. McKeldin's plan
to raise S. million next year by
collecting the gross receipts tax
twice within a 12-month period.
But even Mr.. Boone admitted
this might backf1re in the form
of less money bet at the tracks
and, as a result, diminished re-
turns to the State.

Plan Adds Cost
Of New Schools
To Home Price
Montgomery Urged
To Study Effect
Of Suggestion
By Cherries [. Hoffman

Certain to become a topic fol-
discussion among Montgomery
County groups in the near future
is a suggestion that the cost OF
new homes include the cost OF
building new schools to serve
them
The controversial question has
been posed by Mrs. Stella B.
Werner. member Of the county
council.
Mrs. Werner hastens to ex-
plain she Is not advocating such
q practice. But, she adds, she
thinks 1t has enough merit to
warrant investigation.
Such a proposal would mean
that somewhere along the line
a subdivision builder would have
to put up cash to build the class
rooms needed to serve new homes
he constructs.
Then this cost would be added
on to the price tag on the house.
Not Sure of Method.
Mrs. Werner is not sure Just
how such plan could be worked.
But she believes one possibility
would be to include in the cost
Of a building permit the sum
needed to cover the cost of school
construction.
Mrs. Werner believes such an
idea merits consideration by the
newly formed Suburban Mary
land Builders Association. And
she would like to see 1t on the
agenda for proposed confer
ence the group is considering for
this spring.
That conference may include
discussions between area builders
and representatives of the vari-
Gus county departments, the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission and the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
See Possible Savings.
Builders must work through all
these agencies. And the confer
ence would be aimed at simplify
ing this work so that the cost Of
houses could be cut-perhaps as
much as $500.
Carl M. Freeman. president Of
the new group. says he fears
most builders would frown on
any proposal that would hike
the cost Of a house as long as
Montgomery builders must COM
pete with those In other iuris-
dictions.
Mrs. Werner, however. believes
that in the long run. anything
that benefits the county, bene-
fits the builder.
Could Lower Taxes.
BY having the people who use
new schools bear the major share
OF their cost. she says, the real
estate tax could be kept down.
At present. 80 cents of the
county's $l.87 tax rate goes for
debt service-principal and in
terest payment-on school bonds.
