Golden Anniversary

This year the Triplett Electrical Instrument company
will celebrate its golden anniversary, an important milestone
not only in the development of the company, but in the deVel-
opment of Bluffton itself. No single event has played so great
a part in the economic life of this town and its people In the
last half century as the decision 80 years ago by young r. L.
Triplett to set up a business for himself in the second-Hoor
room of one of Bluffton's business houses.
A 19-year-old boy just returned home from working IN
the "big city,, R. L. had an idea that he could build a new
b~usiness-perhaps a fortune, at least a fving-rght here IN
his home town. The result everyone knows. His has been
the typical American success story and the results of similar
enterprise is seen in every town and city in the country.
As Buttons principal industry, the instrument compa-
ny provides a livelihood for most B~lufftonites who work at
home. It is responsible also for bringing to the community
many representative families who have helped the town to
grow and become what it is.
The lighting of the fftieth candle on the company birth
dav cake should serve as a reminder to today's young folk
that there is always room for ingenuity and enterprise and
ambition right here in Bluffton without going further afeld,
and that the berries are not always bigger and better in the
next patch.

The Right TO Haze Your Say!

It has now been abAut six months since the board of
public affairs advised municipal council that 1t had learned
that Bluffton could buy power for resale cheaper than it could
continue to manufacture it. At the rate of savings estimated
by the Board, Button has already lost more than $4,000
by delaying action on the chanee-over to purchased power"
The outlook now is that, At the best, a decision will not
be forthcoming for a few more months. People on both sloeS
of the question of whether it would be better Tor the village
to continue in the power business as a mldde-man between
consumer and private producer or get out OF the business
COMPLETELY and turn it over TO private enterprise have be-
walled the delay.
But thus it is with democracy. When the wishes OF every
one must be considered, decisions cannot be made haStly'
The action of Council last week definitely starts the machln-
cry moving toward a final decision. Council has expressed an
opinion on the question exactly opposite of that OF the ooafo
of public affairs. Councilmene state that they believe their
opinion to be the most popular with the community at large
but they urge that everyone in town-everyone VINO mas a
stake in the ownership of the municipal plant-be given the
opportunity to voice his preference in referendum action on
their move to "sell out"
With the issue as controversial as 1t seems to be, THIS
certainly seems to make sense. # further delay is wasteful,
what of it? What does the losssamount to anyway to each
individual in town, and what doesn't amount to compared WIN
the exercise of the individuals right to "have his say"

Dear Sir:

Lear OH
Many BlufftonE residents would
greatly appreciate some official ex-
PLANTATION of the secretiveness which
has prevented prosperity owners from
learning what The cost will be to
them in specialF assessments which
must be levied 10 help finance our
new sewage disposal system.
Although construction is completed,
and work on #wer financing was
started over a Year and a half ago,
property owners still haven't the
slightest idea what their share of the
special assessment will cost them.
So far there has been no logical
explanation for the delay, and GER
tainly Is months has been too long
to keep US in the dark as to our
individual cost.
Selling out the municipal power
system has been proposed as a means
of eliminating entirely the whole
special assessment 1t therefore is
one of the principe considerations il
the question of whether we sell out
or buy power wholesale.
But-how can anyone make an in
telligent decision on such a matter
as long as theA town government
| continues to make a secret of how
much the special assessment will
cost each individual taxpayer.
Very truly yours,
Charles Steiner

Assessment Base
Expecfed 10 Rise Far
Above Hoyt's Figure

Prince Georges County's as
sessment base today is only $31
million lower than the assess
ment predicted for 1860 in the
new Homer Hoyt economic sur
vey of nearby Maryland.
County Treasurer Julian B.
Mckay yesterday said the most
recent total of 1854 property tax
levies-$7, ,951 ,050-is based on
an assessment base of $401, $685.
1888. OF the total levy, the
county as Of Tuesday had col
lected $7,298,459.
In the Hoyt survey, it was pre-
dicted the Prince Georges real
estate assessment figure would
rise to $433 million in 1860 over
a 1898 million assessment in
1858. With the present $401
million assessment, county off,
cials estimated the assessment
base will in six years rise con-
siderably above the figure pre-
dicted for 1860.
From 1860 to 1870, the Hoyt
survey predicted an average as
sessment increase per annum OF
$10.7 million. reaching in 1870
a total of $40 million. The es-
innate for 1880 Is $685. million tc
1896 million.
Periodic reaSseSSments, how
ever cause sharp increases in the
total for some years. Mr.. Mckay
estimated the $50 million in
crease from 1858 to 1854 Is
largely attributable to last years
reassessment of the Chillum and
Laurel districts Of the county
It was estimated the reassess-
ment caused a $45 million rise
in the assessment base.
Chillun, the larger Of the
areas reappraised, includes
M ou mt Rainier, Hyattsville
Langley Park. Adelphi and part
Of Takoma Park. The 1854 taz
rate on which the county prop
erty tax Is based Is $l.98, as com.
pared to $2.13 In 1858.

High-Pay Industries

Trade Executive Says

Industries that employ workers
with salaries of at least $500
a month as recommended in the
new Hoyt survey of nearby Mary
land. may be difficult to attract,
a Montgomery County business
spokesman said yesterday.
Charles A. Kopeland, execu-
tive secretary of the Silver
Spring Board of Trade and a
leading member of the County
Commerce Association, COM
mended the Hoyt report but
said a $500 industrial salary is
not realizable in the near future
To attract industry to the
county, Mr.. Kopeland said, the
County Council should establish
an industrial development COM
mission. Its members should rep
resent a wide selection of coun-
ty groups and strive to create
"a climate receptive to industry,
he said.
He said land planners agree
the attitude of residents to an
industrial venture is a deter
mining factor in industrial loca-
ton.
I'm Montgomery County dur
ing the last two years." MIR
Kopeland said, "there has beer
a definite swing to q more vel
coming attitude toward indus
try"
County officials. he said, should
attempt to attract. in spite Of
possible wage levels, firms such
as pharmaceutical houses, dis
tribution centers. auto assembly
plants and research and elec-
tronicS plants.
