BALTIMORE, Dec. 7 up. -
Lawmakers will be asked next
year for $94 900 more to con-
tinue the University OF Mary

DR.. Wilson H. Elkins, presi-
dent of the university. told the
Legislative Council yesterday the
money is needed to combat
brucellosis, an infection which
causes premature calving in cat
tie and undulant fever in hui
mans.
DR.. Elkins said the university
tests cattle and helps compen-
safe farmers for infected animals
which must be destroyed because
of infection. The United States
Government also helps compen-
safe the farmer. he said.
The university president said
funds to carry out the program
were nearly depleted.
1t can stop the detection and
compensation program January
/, in mid-fiscal year, or 1t can
ask for a reasonable assurance"
that it will receive additional
money during the Legislative
session beginning in February.
The council agreed to support
a resolution urging the Legisla-
ture and Gov. McKeldin to ap-
prove a deficiency appropriation
to continue the program.

Prince Georges Plans
Curb on Special Funds

The auditors also suggested
that there be a system for peri
odic internal auditing of funds
of the county's various depart
ments by a county employee as
signed to the job for a limited
number of hours each month.
The auditors noted that a re-
view of delinquent real estate
taxes disclosed that many FORE
closure suits have been pending
for a number of years"
In one case it was found that
approximately $4,000 in per-
sonal property taxes have been
accommodating since 1851 and re-
main unpaid.
The county attorney was re-
ported as having advised the
auditors that delinquent taxes
are new under review and that
action is being taken.
Appropriations for projects in
the so-called metropolitan Inn
provement district of the county
we're found to exceed funds avail
able by $42,182. This means that
the commissioners would have
to raise more money If any adj
Iditional projects are to be APP
proved or if all Of those now
approved are completed.
The county was found to have
an unappropriated surplus of
$854,503, which includes a work.
ing fund of $780, 900.

Tobacco Tax
|StiII-Opposed
|ByMcKeIdin

HAGERSToWN, Nd, Dec. I
up. Gov. McKeldin indicated
yesterday he is still opposed to a
State tobacco tax for raising
funds to balance the budget and
predicted such a measure would
find rough going in the General
Assembly.
The tax was among a number
of possible revenue sources sug-
gested by the legislative coun-
ellis subcommittee on revenue
appraisal in recent report. Mr.,
McKeldin discussed the report at
"a Lions club luncheon here to-
day.
Noting that it criticized his re-
lection of a tobacco tax last veal
Ion grounds it would create
hazards even il only mental
hazards" for Maryland's econo-
my, McKeldin said:
Whether justified or not,
there is strong opposition to a
tobacco tax in a considerable
area of the State, and there is q
strong bloc in the Legislature,
which. I understand, remains un-
alterably opposed to the imposi-
ton Of such a tax.
1T must be remembered, too,
that Maryland has been proving
itself attractive to a growing
variety of industries. We are
constantly seeking new indus
tries. 1t Is not inconceivable
that one of the big tobacco COM
panieS might some day consider
locating one of its plants in our
tobacco region.

Gas Station Owners Hit
Rockville Fire-Code Plan

The Rockville Council Is
weighing protests against pro-
posed city fire code changes that
would prohibit automatic noz-
Izle control levers on gasoline
pump hoses. The levers allow
station attendants to remove
their hands from the nozzle
while the tank is filling.
Three service station owners.
Ray Kline, Leonard Beall and
George Hauter claimed at a
hearing last night that the auto
matte nozzles are labor saving
devices which allow station OPP
orators to save gas, hire better
personnel and give better service.
Mr.. Kline said he spilled less
Igas in a year using the auto
matte device than he did in a
month with a manual nozzle.
The fire code is the sixth in
ian 1l-step program to codify
Rockville laws. The new code
represents amendment of the
Iexisting Rockville fire code with
respect to the section of periodic
inspections, gasoline service sta

Special Improvement districts
are established by the county's
governing body at the request
of property owners of specific
areas to finance certain improve

Sidewalks by assessments against
the properties.
