Towns Sign
'BIumes State
For Bod Road

Seat Pleasant is embarrassed
by the poor condition Of the
towns main thoroughfare and
officials want everyone to know
it's not their fault.
Workmen erected a sign on
Roosevelt avenue yesterday with
this brief message:
I'VE apologize for the condi-
ton of this road. 1t Is main
tanned by the State"
Roosevelt avenue is in the
middle of the towns shopping
area. It connects George Palmer
highway with Eastern and Sixty
third avenues and Dix street.
Heavy traffic from East Capitol
street in the District is funneled
through the intersection.
During rush hours, drivers
ease their cars, lined up bumper
to-bumper, into and out of deep
pot holes and rutS. A kink in
the road and a railroad crossing
make for further congestion.
Mayor Ben H. Watkins said
the problem stems from delays
by the. State in a program to
straighten and reconstruct Roos-
evelt avenue in conjunction with
a planned improvement Of
George Palmer highway. Even
tually the avenue is to be turned
over to the State.

selveS-where the 19-year-olds

He said opponents Of the lower
voting age thus had one strong
argument against the measure
the lack of demand "by those
who would be its direct bene-
hficiaries."
Devise Own Roles
Urging young people to devise
their own political roles, the
Governor recommended that
youth groups investigate immi-
grafton provisions of the McCar-

Bdsic Lesson in Politics
Given Maryland Students

University of Maryland stu
dents with a laundering for the
not-so-gentle science of politics
were given basic lessons in the
subject yesterday by Maryland's
leading politicos-the president
of the State Senate. the minor
Iity leader of the State Senate, a
United States Senator and a
Congressman, and the States
spellbinding Gov. McKeldin.
The Governor told students al
a Youth in Politics" conference
at the College Park campus, that
his first political speaking chores
as a young lawyer were per-
formed atop a garbage truck in
Baltimore.
He advised beginning politi-
clans that complete acquies-
cence" to the wishes of party
elders amounts to "stoogery al
its reactionary worst"
Pledged Support
The Republican Governor also
pledged his support of laws to
lower the legal voting age to Ia

and Democrats for not actively
campaigning for the measure.

A proposed SITS million OPP
Grating budget for Montgomery
County schools which would re-
lquire a 24.5-cent increase in the
Ipresent county tax rate of $2.03
per 500 of assessed valuation
was adopted by the county school
board yesterday.
The budget still is subject to
scrutiny of the county council
which must provide funds for the
public schools.
The operating budget. COM
bined with the debt service on
past school bond issues. would
exceed $40 million for the first
time. Only a short time ago this
was more than the total budget
of the county.
In addition, the school board
has asked for STA million for
new school construction during
the fiscal year beginning July l
The present school operating
tax rate is $1.30. According tC
school board figures, a tax rate
Of $1.545 would be needed to sup
port the proposed operating
budget under present county
fiscal policy.
These facts are revealed in the
budget being submitted to the
county manager:
/. The cost per student for
Operating expenses alone will be
$302.94. Two years ago it was
$225.18.
| 2. The proposed budget repre-
sents a $3.6 million increase over
this years budget.
3. The proposed budget repre-
sents IS per cent increase In
expenditures compared with an
estimated 9 per cent increase in
enrolment.
4. The cost to the county will
be up $3.50 million.
The boards proposed school
program is SOS million in excess
of the minimum program re-
quired by State law.
The boards budget is based or
injecting the expansion in en-
Irollments and improving its pro-
gram in line with what it be-
Ilieves are the desires Of resi-
dents.
Without an estimated S92 mil
lion increase in the county's as
sessable base, the proposed
budget would require a Accent
increase in the tax rate.
New Salary Scale
The budget adopted by the
board is $1.2 million in excess of
that proposed by Supt. Forbes H
Norris. DR.. Norris. however, in
his original proposal did not in
clude a new teacher salary scale
which added nearly 81 million
to the budget.
The budget proposes sharp ex-
pansion of the school payroll in
Guiding the hiring OF Asst new
employees. Among those are PAL
Classroom teachers and princi-
pals, a. special area teachers. 81

'Prince.Georges
Told Saturation
On Credit Nears
BY CHARLES A. McALEER

Prince Georges County's bond
ed Indebtedness has reached a
point where its future credit rat
ing may be imperiled, county Of
flcials said yesterday.
The county already has $685.
million in bonds outstanding ano
authority to sell two more bono
issues, which would bring the
total Indebtedness to over 1914
million.
Officials say they have beer
advised by bankers and invest
ment brokers in New York that
the safe limit" on bonded in
debtedness should be not more
than seven per cent Of the coun-
tvs asSeSsable base.
Prince Georges new asSessable
base exceeds $526.8 millions, and
seven per cent CT that would be
about 1858 million-less thar
the total indebtedness if the
county disposes of the two bond
issues.
Even greater Indebtedness lies
ahead. however, based on new
pleas for bond issues. One such
request. it was learned, is due
to come shortly from the County
School Board.
School officials contend that q
conservative estimate of future
school construction needs will
require expenditure of $40 mil
lion a year for the next six years
County School Supt. William
S. Schmidt said the School,
Board hopes more bonds can be
sold next fall.
Only about $2.2 million ir
bonds are scheduled to mature
next year, according to County
Controller Carl Mace.
The seven per cent limit is
not statutory in Prince Georges
County. although it is in some
other Maryland counties, officials
said. They said. however, that
investment bankers advise that
to exceed that margin would
cause interest rates to rise and
possibly, hurt the county'S
credit rating.
Meanwhile. school officials
rapidly are nearing completion
of new construction program
The county already has some
1901 classrooms in 103 schools
with 81 more schools under con-
struction. School officials still
see the need for some LAO more
/ secondary school rooms and SO;
elementary rooms. They eSti.
mated the cost at some $62.s
million.
| Final decision on the bono
sale matter will be up to the
county commissioners. to whom
the school board plans to sub
NIT its request.

chologist and a pupil personnel

The Institutional force would
total 2,373.
Much of the increase in costs
are based on new standards

board during the last year.
New Textbook Standards
Besides new salary scales fol
teachers and most other en-
ployeS. new standards on text
books and materials Of instruc-
ton have been set.
Textbooks which cost $2l8.92e
this year would cost the taxpay-
ers $308,388 next year. Materials
of instruction will jump AZ pei
cent to $4l2,330 next year under
the proposed budget.
Another noticeable jump is in
the request for administrative
costs that soar from $357,725 to
$475,090 Some $4,000 of this
is to provide for eight new posi-
tions in the administrative Of
fees paying from $4,000 to $12.-

These proposals generally are
In line with recommendations of

In the announcement issued by

public, saying IN part, as follows /:
"a fully expect that those In
volved in this Reorganization will
proceed with the necessary trans
fer Of their work and duties in an
orderly manner, and that the
changes will result in new en-
thusiasm and vigor in attacking
our old problems and different
approach to our new ones.
Il reiterate my previous state
ment that our purpose in working
for the State Highway Department
is to provide service, and expect
your full cooperation and support
in fulfilling that duty"
William J. Miller, Jr., who has
recently been designated to be
Deputy Chief Engineer of the State
Highway Department, by Chief En-
gineer r. A. Haber, effective April
1st, has spent his entire profession
al career with the Highway Depart
ment.
He became associated with the
State Highway Department in
March Of 1895 and during the in
tervening twenty years, except for
time spent with the armed forces
during World War TT, ne has par
ticipated in much of the activity
in connection with the highway ex-
pansion program.
The early years of his service
with the Highway Department were
spent in New Castle County where
he first served with surveying
parties, then moved into the en-
gineering section Of the New Cas-
tie County Division after which he
became assistant Traffic Engineer
in that Division.
He entered the Army Corps Of
Engineers in 1912 and during much
Of his time in the service he served
in the same branch of the Engineer
Corps as did Mr.. Haber. His ser
vices included about thirty months
overseas during which he was en-
gagged in highway and air field con-
struction in Alaska and The Aleu-
tians.
He was separated from the SER
vice in 1916 with the rank of Cap
tain and is now Major in the
u. S. Army Engineers Reserve
Corps.
MIR. Miller rejoined the staff of
the State Highway Department in
Milford chronicle., 1956-03-30

1916 and for aboVs a year was
assigned to varioug duties in con-
nection with the New Castle Coun-
ty DIVISION.
In I947 he reactivated the Traffic
and Planning Division Of the High
way Department with headquarters
at Dover and has directed the ac-
tivities of that Division ever since.
Under the direction of Mr. Miller
the Traffic and Planning Division
was engaged in the tfaffic engineer
ing and planning studies for the
Department, during which time
many traffic studies and planning
details were made in the State of
Delaware.
A system of obtaining and main
tanning constant traffic volume in
formation in various sections of the
State was instituted and this has
resulted in the desired information
on this matter being available to
the Department at any time.
In his present capacity, Mr.. Mill
er has directed the work of his Di-
vision throughout the period fol-
lowing the war years that the High
way Department entered upon an
expanded program of highway i'm
provement and construction.
Among other things, Mr.. Miller
directed the handling of signs along
the highways and the installation
