GreenbeIf Cuts 43c
of City Tax Rate, .
Merges Libraries

The Greenbelt City Council
has cut 43 cents off its munich
pal tax rate of $2.14 per 500
assessed valuation as a result
Of a new concept" in the city
administration.
The council last night ap-
proved a budget Of $324,399 fol
the coming year, fixing the tax
rate at $1.71 per 500.
A tax rate on industrial prop
erty in Greenbelt also was set
for the first time.
The new concept" was found
in the councils decision to cease
maintaining two municipal serv-
ices which outgoing Mayor Frank
j. Lastner said 1--WE are paying
for twice." In effect the council
will, from now on, call on the
county to share more of the
cost of municipal services.
The council voted unanimous
1y to integrate the city's library
with the county library system.
The council also granted its
fire department permission to
join the county's volunteer fire
organization.
The f1re-department decision
went unopposed, but the move to
integrate the library long has
been bitterly fought. Many
Greenbelt residents hold that
the city's library facilities ex-
ceed in quality the services the
county system can offer.
City Manager Charles T. Nc
Donald credited the tax rate
reduction to a decision by the
council to strike from the budget
q $33,721 entry to be spent on
garbage and trash removal
Beginning next year the removal
fee will be collected by the city
on a separate monthly or semi
annual basis and will not be
included in the payment of city
taxes.
The council voted unanimously
to include in the budget q
$500 appropriation for a 5 per
cent pay raise for city employees.
In an effort to boost the city's
drive to attract light industrial
enterprises and home conStruc-
ton, the board set an industrial
property tax rate Of So cents per
$l00 assessed valuation.

County Saves
$4,000 on
Site for School
Montgomery Board
Told Cooperation
Brings Results

Montgomery County taxpayers
have been saved about $4,000
in the purchase of a new ele.
mentary school site near Whea-
ton, Md. for SIS, 900. the county
school board was advised last
night.
The savings, according to
Frank st. Clair, director of sup.
porting services for the board,
is the result of a new policy
Of inter-agency cooperation.
Mr.. st. Clair told the board
that a f1ve-acre school site on
Arcola avenue is being trans
ferred to board ownership from
a 21-acre tract purchased by the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission. The
commission had acted as pur-
chasing agents after joint con-
ferences with school officials
and representatives of the county
recreation department.
OF the 81 acres 16 will be re-
tanned for park and recreation
use and will in part serve the
new school as a playground and
athletic field. The recreation
department will use the school
building during the summer for
its vacation program.
Site Costs $4,000.
The five-acre site is costing
the School Board $4,000, Mr..
st. Clair said. He added that
without the adjoining park area
the school site would have had
to be considerably larger and
the board would have had to pay
nearly $1,000 more per acre.
The board was reminded that
representatives of the three
agencies have been meeting since
summer and are considering the
joint use and purchase Of three
more park-school sites as Q
means of effecting future saw
ings.
AS a result of last nights
agreement the board named
Frank Kelsey, Gaithersburg ar
chitect. to draft plans for the
new schools.
The board also asked for an
architects study Of renovating
and changing over the 50-year-
old Gaithersburg Elementary
School to a junior high. Two
new elementary schools are
planned for the Gaithersburg
area, Mr.. st. Claire said.

Final Count Shows
School Loan Plan S
Defeat in Virginia

RICHMOND, Nov. 30.-The
State Elections Board yesterday
officially confirmed the defeat ir
the November 2 elections Of 9
proposal that would have made
1t easier for Virginia counties tx
obtain loans to finance schoo
construction.
The proposal would have
amended the State Constitution
to permit counties to borrow
from the State Retirement Func
without a vote of the people.
Many cities already have this
authority.
The official tabulation showed
the plan went down to defeat
by 1,080 votes out of a total bal
loting of some $4,000. The coun,
was 157 1903 against and 156,72S
for the amendment.
Ironically. the tabulation dis
closed that the cities which
would not have been affected by
the mendment-supported the
proposal but the counties went
against it.
Potent "Silent" Vote.
However, there was a potent
silent vote" that defeated the
amendment. attributed chiefly to
these reasons:
l. The opposition of many per-
sons to additional borrowing
for school construction on the
heels Of the Supreme Courts
de-segregation decision.
2. The feeling among many
persons that the amendment
would have permitted county off,
cials to have free rein in bor-
rowing without consulting the
people.
The amendment was designed
to ease the burden upon the
State Literary Fund which pro-
vides loans to localities for school
construction. Because of the large
demand for money to meet post
war building needs, the fund has
been depleted.
