TO A||ay Fears
|0f School Cuts

Ward w. Caddington. titular
head of the Montgomery County
Democratic Party. moved today
to allay fears of residents Of
sharp curtailment in county sup
port of the school system.
"All Democratic candidates
elected last November are pledged
to supply sufficient funds for the
adequate support of Montgomery
County's outstanding school sys-
tem," the Democratic State Gen.
tral Committee chairman said.
In his first statement since last
November. the party chief said
there was mo doubt today that
the all-Democratic County Coun-
cil will vote the taxes" needed
for the school system.
The statement came on the
heels of a report that a group
of Democratic precinct chairmen
were preparing a letter urging
the council to restore cuts made
in the School Boards budget
by County Manager M. l.. Reese.
The manager recommended a
81 million cut in the boards
operating budget and a So mil
lion slash in its capital budget
for classroom construction.
Mr.. Caddington said he had no
doubt that taxes would be voted
ito put into effect the salary
increase schedule planned for
classroom teachers and to pro-
vide sufficient new schoolroom
space so that every county child
will have a seat in a modern
school on a full-time basis"
The party chief noted. how
ever, that the council was elected
on promises of economy" to
make efforts "to check the re-
cent eight-year Republican spiral
of constantly increasing taxes
and real property assessments"
The lack of verified informa-
tion on these matters adds to
the problem, Mr.. Caddington
said. The statement was a slap
at the school board for the lack
of information supplied in its
budget request.
The taxpayers are entitled to
be protected against types of
taxes to support frills and bu-
reaucracy, Mr.. Caddington added.
