Maryland Bill Asks
Inventory Tax Cut
In Three Counties
. By Gene Goodwin
sior ssaff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 22.-Tax
relief for businessmen in Mont
gomery. Prince Georges and
Frederick Counties is planned in
a bilf being drafted for introduc-
ton In the Maryland General
Assembly next week.
The measure. to be introduced
by the House delegations from
the three counties, would reduce
the so-called inventory tax by
is per cent in Montgomery and
Frederick and 40 per cent in
Prince Georges. The result
would be uniformity among the
three counties. however, since
Frederick and Montgomery busi-
nessmen already received a Is
per cent cut by act Of the 1858
Legislature.
The inventory tax is levied on
the assessed value of stock a
business has on hand. at the
same rate as county taxes on real
estate. The bill being prepared
here would provide that this
stock would be assessed at so per
cent of its full value. It is now
assessed at 100 per cent In Prince
Georges and rs per cent in
Montgomery and Frederick.
Means Loss of Revenue.
The reduction would mean a
loss Of UP to 100000 in tax
revenue to Prince Georges ac-
cording to County Disbursing
Officer Carl Mace. It would take
an extra. s cents on the current
property tax rate to make UP
such a loss.
Mr.. Mace said his county
would be harder hit by the re-
duction than Frederick and
Montgomery because it has a
number of large warehouses.
Montgomery delegates said
figures supplied to them by
county finance director Alex
Hancock indicate that Mont
gomery would lose about $50, 900
in tax revenue by its is per cent
deduction. That would require an
extra Is of a cent on the current
property tax rate to replace.
Delegate Perry o. wilkinson,
Democrat, chairman of the
Prince Georges House delegation,
said he doubted that the pro-
posed tax cut would cost his
county as much as 100000 He
said he intended to make further
studies Of the impact of the bill.
Pledged by wilkinson.
Mr.. Wilkinson pledged in his
campaign for reelection last fall
that he would sponsor the inyen-
tory tax relief. He and former
Republican delegate j. Frank
Lillard. jr., put in a similar bill
in 1858, but it died in the closing
hours of that session. Ironically,
that legislature reduced the levy
in Montgomery, Frederick. and
several other Maryland counties.
Delegate Gilbert GUIDE, the
lone Republican in the Mont
gomery House bloc, had started
to cut the tax to so per cent
basis in his county and gradually
eliminate it. After consulting
with the five Democratic Mont
gomery delegates, however, he
