Mrs. Virginia Black of 2970 For
sythe Avenue, Silver Spring,
Chairman of the 34th precinct,
both of the 18th election district
in the county, have organized
campaigns to distribute literature
and get out the vote for the hos.
pital.
The hospital bill, as proposed
and passed by the Montgomery
County Council, will be financed
by a SO million dollar bond issue
payed out of tax funds from un.
Incorporated areas of the 18th
election district.
The question on the ballot for
the bond issue for the construc-
ton of the hospital must be
passed on by the voters from
throughout Montgomery County,
however, even though voters out
side the 18th election district
would not have to pay the pro
posed tax.
The tax would be based on the
assessed valuation of property in
that area and would amount to
about $500 a year per family to
make possible the construction
of the hospital, spokesman for the
plan say. All users of the hospit-
al would pay for the mainten-
ance of the hospital.
