favorable action at their jan

The memorandum states in
part:
IF you want Montgomery
County to be a better commu-

public swimming pools would
contribute toward that end-and,

amount in taxes for such a

City Sees
Population
OF $4,000

Faced with declining we'll pro-
duction of water and remember
ing the water crisis of last sum-
mer, the Rockville Mayor and
Council Tuesday night took steps
to purchase an additional 100000
gallons per day from the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission in 1855.
City Manager John MARYLAND
was authorized to start negotia-
tons with the WSSC looking to
a new contract which will enable
the City to purchase 100000
gallons day-an increase of half
a million gallons over the cur
rent rate of purchase per day.
This action was taken on the
basis of survey of the present
and future water needs of Rock
vile which was presented to the
Mayor and Council.
The report shows that on a
typical day in 1854, the City's 30
wells were producing 1,334,200
gallons a day. Recent studies
show that in 1855 the wells will
decline 20 percent in production,
and that another 10 percent will
go into fire hydrants, etc. This
means that the anticipated net
well production in 1855 is 100000
gallons day.
According to the report, the
two new wells included in the
new city budget, will do little
more than take up the total 30
percent decline.
Consequently, with an antici-
pated daily per person water con-
sumption of $50 gallons, the IT,
SIS persons in Rockville will need
a daily total of 1886, $50 gallons.
Nearly Is million gallons of this
total will be bought from the
WSSC.
Looking ahead, the City Faith
ers were told that the best esti-
mate is that Rockville will stead
lily grow until by 1860 it will have
a population of $4,000 with a
daily consumption of 5,220,00o
gallons of which 100000 will
have to be purchased from the
WSSC.
The City is expected to pass
the 10000 population figure in
1856.
Other actions of the Mayor and
Council:

Admiral Hartwig's estimate of

would cut individual taxes and
repeal tax relief voted last year
for corporations, its own bill
probably will pass quickly with
out further change. But if the
Democrats put over their plan,
Republicans may retaliate by
offering amendments involving a
wide revision of the 1854 tax
code.
Depletion Allowance Reduction
One such amendment which
has been mentioned would re-
duce the depletion allowance for
owners of oil and gas wells from
275 to IS per cent. which would
hit Democratic States in the
Southwest.
The Democratic substitute
around which the tax fight has
centered would:
Give every taxpayer $40
credit, plus $40 for each de-.
pendent except a spouse. 1t
would benefit mainly the low in
come groups by barring the
credit to married couples above
the $4,000 level of income, who
get the full benefit of income
splitting under present law.
Repeal the dividend credit and
the accelerated depreciation for
mula in the 1854 law to offset
the cost of the individual tax cut.
Repeal the provision of last
years law which Democrats
claim would give business firms
an unattended windfall .of at
least 81 billion by allowing de-
auctions from current income
to meet future business ex-
penses.
Extend the corporation and
excise rates until July, 1857, in
stead of for one year as recon-
mended by the President.
