At a public hearing Tuesday
on the proposed &c per pack cigar
cite tax the Montgomery County
Council heard a representative of
the tobacco industry claim the
tax would drive local business to
non-tax areas beyond the corpor-
ate limits of the taxing jurisdic-
ton"
F. M. Parkinson of Richmond,
executive secretary of the Tobac-
co Tax Council, stated, $50 to so
per cent of the county's cigarette
business will disappear and not
come back" He said people will
drive to Prince Georges County,
where there is no local cigarette
tax, to buy their smokes. Wash
ington has a local tax on cigar
cites.
The &c per pack levy would
bring almost half-million dollars
revenue annually. The Council
took no action Tuesday.
No one at the hearing spoke in
favor of the tax. The Montgom-
cry County Licensed Beverage
Association and number of gro
Gerry store and tavern owners
were opposed.
A public hearing was set for
next Thursday at 8 pm. on a
new bill introduced in the May
Legislative session by Councilman
Wilbur Baughman. The measure
would permit the county to name

the city manager on the basis
of the associations figures to

VAHospital
Site Picked
Near City

The Veterans Administration
has decided to build its long-plan-
ned 500-bed hospital in Rockville
The Department of Justice has
begun condemnation proceedings
in Baltimore Federal Court for a
20 acre slice of the old Dawson
farm on Rockville Pike near Hun
gerford ToWne.
The new $11.5 million hospital
will replace Mt. Alto Veterans
Hospital in Washington. 1t will
employ about 500 people.
In its 1867 budget request
the VA has asked S1.1 million for
architectural and engineering
services for the new building. The
decision to locate the hospital in
Rockville apparently ends the
much-discussed possibility that
the VA would build on land OBJ
tanned from Soldiers Home.
Town planner Robert Plavnicl
says the selected site begins at
the Dawson driveway and runs
south along Rockville Pike for
about $40 feet. The tract is 1000
feet deep.
Mr.. Plavnick met with VA Off.

Turner revealed that 10 years ago
