Bill to Probe 'Woste'
BY Roads Group Studied
sy the Assoeio,ed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 13. - The
Legislature may be asked to set
up a full-dress investigation OF
"haste and waste in the State
Roads Commission" Delegate
Cannon, Democrat, Of Wicomico
said last night.
The Eastern Shere Democrat
said he was considering legiSla-
ton to set UP the probe to find
the answers to some of the
questions being raised by citizens
about practices and procedures
used by the commission.
Mr.. Cannon recalled H. C.
Byrd, losing Democratic candi-
date against Republican Gov
McKeldin last November, had ac-
cused the commission of extrav-
agance and waste.
He added he thought the COM
mission had disregarded the
wishes of the public in recently
choosing a location for project
to carry u, S. SO through Sails
bury, his home town.
A newspaper poll showed 825
OF ISL persons objected to the
Church street route to carry the
road through Salisbury. MIR. Can
non said.
Some people wrote Gov. Nc
Keldin to protest. but he referred
the protest to the Roads Com
mission. and that was the last
that was heard of it," said Mr..
Cannon,
He said he feared his own
home would be among properties
condemned to make way for the
project.

Ideal Features Found in Debt

real property value.
About $40 million more will
be needed for school collstruc-
ton in the next FIVE or six years,
and a similar amount will be re-
quired for general county inn
provements. he estimated. How
much these projects will cost
the taxpayers depends on how
much money is forthcoming
from Federal and State sources
and how future county boards
will react to tax rate increases.
Mr.. Ecker-Ra said.
A reasseSSment in 1860 should
result in more real estate reve-
nue. for the county, he said. He
estimated the present :true tax
rate" at 96 cents per 500 OF
valuation and the present actual
assessment ratio at 80 per cent
of true value. He said the 96-
cent rate is below the real tax
rate in nearly all cities, except
some in the South.
II the 80 per cent figure is
raised to the 40 per cent ratio
previously approved by the coun-
ty board, the reassessment could
lower tax rates, but still in

Mr.. Ecker-Racz held out little
hope for much new revenue from
