Session Of
Health Board

A meeting OF the Alexandria
Health Board. which the City
Council plans to strip of its
powers, was boycotted last night
by Mayor Leroy S. Bendheim.
Three other members. includ-
ing City Manager Ira F. Willard,
also did not attend. leaving the
seven member board without a
quorum.
The board has been embroiled
in controversy over the closing
of three health department
clinics. DR.. T. F. McGough, city
health officer. told the Health
Board last month, before the
City Council was informed, that
he had to close the clinics be-
cause of insufficient personnel.
City Manager Willard and sew
eral city councilmen recommend
ed abolition of the board because
they said it was usurping admin
istrative and legislative powers
of the manager and council.
Will Stay Away
Mayor Bendheim. chairman of
the board, said he does not in
tend to attend any more board
meetings. He was not present
when DR., McGough told the
board last month about the elm
les closing.
Vice Mayor Joseph NJ. Pan

Health Beard. said he "couldn t
get there last night" He had no
comment on whether he would
attend in the future.
Mr.. Willard showed up for a
few minutes. but left before the
meeting began, saying he was i'll.
City Attorney v. Floyd Will
liams said he got home late from
Richmond. He said he expected
10 attend future meetings.
To End Powers
A majority of council members
has agreed to strip the board OF
its powers, leaving it as merely
an advisory group to the health
officer. The council also plans te
change the makeup of the boarc
so that city officials will moi
serve on it.

Tunnel Access
Rights Cleared
BY Maryland

BALTIMORE. April II (P.-
The State Roads Commission
announced yesterday it has
bought or obtained right of entry
to all property needed for the
Baltimore Harbor Tunnel and
its more than Is miles of APP
proach roads.
AS of April 5. the commission
said. it has paid out a total of
S4,5l4,000 for the property and
estimated the total cost would
be S8.5 million, about SIP mil
lion below original estimates of
the cost by J. E. Greiner Co.,
consulting engineers.
Appraisals were made on about
375 parcels of land. of which
1926 have been purchased. Some
of the largest settlements are yet
to come including land owned
by the Pennsylvania Railroad,
the Arundel Corp. and the City
of Baltimore.
David NJ. Nichols e. Co. and
William Martien & Co.. Inc, two
Baltimore real estate firms, pur-
chased the land for the State
under highly controversial con-
tract which provides that they
split a fee of rs per cent of the
total cost of the land. If the
total cost is 8.5 million dollars,
the Nichols and Martien COM
panies would split a fee of $685.
500.
John A. Magee. an employe of
Martien Co. who acted as CO.
ordinator between the SRC and
the real estate firms. said he
felt the total estimated cost was
a good one although a few out
standing properties could run
the figure higher than SIS
million.
Chairman Russell H. Mccain
of the SRC said he did not feel
the commission would ever again
have to use such a system for
acquiring land because no further
construction is planned through
such densely populated areas.
Mr.. Mccain said the commits
sion anticipates using its own
right-of-way staff on all future
projects.

Budget Pleas Would Lift
Montgomery Tax 32.5c

financed from the tax rate and
other sources available to the
county. is $l8.8 million.
The school board is account
ing for some SO million of the
additional requests. Other de-
partment heads are asking for
increases totaling close to 81
million.
Mr.. Reese next week will be-
gin dayand night sessions with
department heads as he per-
sonally seeks ways of pairing
down the requests. He is ex-
pected to submit his budget rec
concentrations to the county
council by mid-May.
Public Hearings Afterward
Then on June IL, Is and II
the council will hold public
hearings on the budget.
The council hopes to sign the
budget several days in advance
of the June 80 deadline.
Mr.. Reese last year slashed
sharply into School Board re-
quests. looping off about 81 mil
lion as he came up with budget
on a hold-the-line tax rate basis.
The council. however, restored
most of the cuts and raised the
tax rate 10 cents.
Once Mr. Reese's recommen-
dations go to the council they
can be increased only by a STOP
vote of the council.
The School Board recently
sent a record breaking budget
request to the manager and es-
timated it would require a 24.5-
cent increase in the tax rate.
