County Firemen Ask
Bill for Injury and
Death Benefits
BY q Stor Stoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 4.-Prince
Georges County legislators had
under consideration today a pro-
posal that the county pay death
and injury benefits to volunteer
firemen.
Officials of the Prince Georges
Volunteer Firemen's Association
yesterday presented the delega-
ton with a proposed bill to pro-
vide that injured firemen be
eligible for medical benefits up
to $500 and hospital benefits of
S. a day for So weeks and $50
a month after that for the
length of their disability.
The proposal in the case of a
fireman killed in action would
be for the county to pay his
widow a $50-a- month pension
and his surviving minor children
SIS a month.
Ask Commissioner Reaction.
The Prince Georges delegates
advised the fremen to take their
plan to the County Commission
ers for their reaction. They in
dicated that, since such a pro-
posal would involve appropria-
ton of tax funds, they would be
guided by the feelings of the
Commissioners, who would have
% do the appropriating.
Another stumbling block in
effecting such a plan is the still
unresolved question of whether
members of the Takoma Park
Fire Department would be
eligible for the benefits, which
would be paid only for injuries
and deaths in the line of duty.
Irving Wallen johnson, secre-
tary of the Takoma Park Fire
Department. which draws its
members from both Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
Counties, as we'll as the District
protested the exclusion of his
department in the plan, as pro-
posed by the Prince Georges
Association.
Amendment Urged.
Delegates Carlton R. Sickles
and Hervey G. Machen said they
feel Takoma Park firemen in
jured or killed while fighting
Prince Georges fires should be
covered in the plan. They urged
the association to consider
amending their proposal.
Vincent S. Simmel, legislative
chairman of the association
said widows of firemen killed in
action now get a $60-a-month
pension from the State. The
county association now carries
private insurance to provide its
members with some benefits at
a cost of about $4,000 a year.

Fairfax Board
Approves $500
Teacher Raise
Proposed Budget
OF 1913 Million
Adopted, 5 to z

A 5000 increase in the teachers
salary scale was approved by the
Fairfax County School Board to-
day as it adopted the proposed
1913 million 1856 budget. The
board agreed unanimously to
give the teachers more money
than the 500 increase originally
proposed.
The new scale placed in the
budget ranges from $3,400 to
SIS, 300 in II steps.
The Fairfax Education Asso-
citation and PTA groups pleaded
for a scale of $3,400 to $5.400 in
Is steps.
The 5000 increase in the scale
was placed in the budget unani-
mously on motion Of Robert w.
Darr. 1t will cost $124,000 more
than the 500 increase originally
proposed, but the School Board
managed to avoid a major change
in the proposed budget by cut
ting proposed expenditures else
where.
Argue Other Items.
The School Boards vote was
not unanimous. however, on the
budget as a whole and members
argued over other items as they
went over it today.
Mr.. Darr and Fred w. Robin
son voted against the total 1913
million budget because they
said they disapproved of a
$4,000 item in it for driver
training instruction and also
disapproved of 100000 for
school sites which they believed
should be bought from bond
| money.
II just can't see requesting a
budget that we know will in
crease the tax rate q cents. '
said Mr.. Robinson.
Were not supposed to be con-
cerned with the tax rate" said
Richard Stands. school board
chairman.
II wish I could take my posi-
ton here as lightly as you do,
retorted Mr.. Robinson.
Cites Airport Revenue.
1--WE had a golden opportunity
to invite the Burke Airport into
the county-that would have
given us extra revenue" sug-
gested Mr.. Darr.
I'm willing to agree with you
on THAT" said Robert F. Davis.
MI. Robinson was critical of a
$428, TAB item for maintenance.
and said he saw no reason to
spend so much money on build
ings that are practically new.
when something is operating
as irefficiently as that depart
ment is don't think the answer
is to give it more money" de-
clared Mr.. Robinson.
Reductions Ordered.
Reductions made in the budget
to compensate for the extra 500
increase in the teachers salary
scale included 100000 from i'm
provement to sites and $45, 900
for operation and instruction in
three new schools that apparent
ly won't be ready during the
next school year.
The budget now goes to the
Board of County Supervisors,
which plans to conduct a public
hearing on the entire county
budget at 10 am. April 10.

Special Services
Bill for Urban
Areas Drafted
SickIes to Present
Tex Plan Today
To County Board
By Gene Goodwin
Stor Staff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. A pro-
posal to levy special taxes for
special services in the unincor-
porated urban area Of Prince
Georges County was to be pre-
sented to the county commits
sioners today.
Carlton R. Sickles, Prince
Georges County member of the
Maryland House of Delegates,
has drafted the idea into a bill
he plans to discuss with the
county board at its regular
meeting today. He said the bill
will not be introduced unless
the county commissioners ap-
prove it.
Sees HOdge-Podge Now.
Mr.. Sickles, a Democrat, said
the only way residents of the
unincorporated areas of his
county can obtain such munich
pal services as refuse collection,
street lights. sidewalks and
street cleaning is through the
formation of special Improve
ment districts.
with some so special i'm
provement districts and % in
corporated towns" he said, "our
county has become a hodge
podge."
Such services should be pro-
vided in our heavily built up
urban sections as a matter OF
course and people shouldn't have
to beg for them through petit
tion," Delegate Sickles added
"At the same time, it is not
fair to tax the rural areas OF
Prince Georges for such special
lied services in the urban areas.
Power Over Services.
Under the bill Mr.. Sickles has
drafted, the county commission
erS would be given the broad
power to provide special services
in any unincorporated area and
collect special tax from prop
erty owners of the area to pay
for them.
Under present county law, the
entire burden for initiating any
special services in unincorporated
areas is on the people.

grown in demand from rs million
pounds in 1853, to about so million

Convenience has been the kew

eight sticks in a 1O-ounce carton.
