Maryland Bill Would
Bar BuiIding-Loan
foreign Branches
BY Gene Goodwin
Stor Stoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. IA re.
newal of the battle between Dis
trict and Maryland building ano
loan associations was assured
for the Maryland Legislature
today with the introduction ot
a bill by Delegate Warren
Browning, Democrat, of Mont
gomery County.
Mr.. Browning's measure would
prohibit any foreign building and
loan association from opening
any branch Offices in Maryland
after June /, the effective date
of the bill.
Virginia now has such a law
and has used it since 1946 to
keep the big District associations
from expanding into the Vir-
ginia suburbs.
Mr.. Browning said his bill is
much milder than 1854 meas
ure, which would have estab-
lished a special tax for foreign
building and loan associations
doing business in Maryland.
Opponents Of that proposal
argued that it would restrict
competition in home mortgages
and result in higher mortgage
rates for home-buyers in the
Maryland area adjacent to the
District.
The 1854 bill, which brought
on some of the most active
lobbying of that session, finally
was defeated in the Senate by
only a few votes.

BEHIND THE SCENES: An
American song and dance man,
after a champagne supper in
Dublin, was the one who actually
started Maureen O'Hara to
movie stardom. Harry Richman
was the one who recommended
me to the English film company,
said Maureen. HE told them
he had met an Irish actress in
Dublin who would be a sure bet
for stardom. They took his word
and sent for me-"
She smiled merrily: Some
years later I met him on a
street in Hollywood. l rushed
up to Mn Richman to thank
him. He pulled a pen out of
his pocket and asked me. To
whom shall autograph it?'
Il eXplainedito him that didn t
want his autograph, that l was
the girl he had recommended
to the English film company. He
said, with complete honesty,
Honey, I was quite drunk that
night in Dublin and although l
don't remember meeting you, or
even recommending you. I'm de-
lighted that l had some part in
your career.
Maureen, who is an easy
laugher, went off into another
peal of merriment. I suggested
that her beauty was so conpell-
ing that even champagne hadn't
spoiled the impression. BE off
with you," she said.

Other Cuts Forecast
As Agency Reduces
Sanitary Tax by Cent

The Washington Suburban
/ Sanitary Commission yesterday
authorized the first tax cut in
its 27-year history-a 1-cent
slash in its sanitary tax. which
will save taxpayers of the
sanitary district an estimated
100000.
No changes were made in
charges for water or sewer use,
but Commissioner L. S. Ray pre-
dicted a possible cut in these
rates by 1856 or 1857.
When refuse charges were
raised and a sewer-uSe tax set
up in 1858, the commission said
the added revenue would enable
it to wipe out existing deficits
by 1857.
This forecast was conserva-
tive. and it looks as though this
goal may be achieved even
sooner than we anticipated, T"
paving the way for cuts in water
and sewer fees, he said.
The sanitary tax. also known
as the ad valorem tax. will be
cut from 10 to 9 cents per $100
of assessed property valuation.
The l0-cent rate was set in
1947.
The tax finances design and
maintenance of storm sewers,
amortizes storm drain bonds and
a portion of general construc-
ton bonds.
Mr.. Ray revealed that the
commission, in the last year, has
built up an 100000 cash re-
serve. permitting the end of the
annual practice of borrowing in
anticipation of tax revenue.
The sanitary tax bill become
payable July /. In Prince
Georges County, property-own-
ers still will be charged a 10
cent rate as the result of a
l-cent increase in the tax, au-
thorized last year, to pay for
the commissions share of bonds
sold to finance the initial phase
of the Peace Cross flood control
project.

$250,000 year for school bus
transportation. That is enough to
build a new eight-room elemen-
tary school every year. School
bus transportation would have
to continue, however. in the rural
end of the county.
Altogether the master plan
proposes 90 new elementary
schools and eight new high
schools by 1880 to accommodate
a population of $4,000. At pres
ent the county operates or has
under construction 40 elemen-
tary schools and eight high
schools.
The planners say all but one
OF the new elementary schools
should be built in the populous
section of the county which they
term the acknowledgment area.
One 600-student elementary
school is allocated to each
neighborhood of 1900 homes-or
5000 people within the close
development area. Wherever pos
sible, the planners recommend
that these schools be located
near the center of a 1900 home
community away from main
highways so children can walk
to class without danger.
One high school for 1900 stu
dents is proposed for every five
neighborhoods within the close
development area. Locations
suggested for the new high
schools are Lincolnia. Center
vile, Vienna. Holmes Run. Rose
Hill, Holm Hills, Pimmit Run
and Franconia.
The plan does not attempt to
pick specific locations for new
parks, but suggests that flood
plains along streams might serve
as recreation areas. 1t is pointed
out that one acre of park and
recreation area is considered
desirable by the National Recre-
alton Association.
