Ex-SchOOl Director,

DR.. Edwin Warfield Broome,
one of the grand old men of edu-

famous for his philosophical con-
cepts of teaching, died Thursday
at his home in Rockville at 202
Monroe Street, after an afternoon
spent working in the greenhouse
which was a gift from county
teachers when he retired in 1858.
DR.. Broome was a homegrown
product of Montgomery County.
Born on a farm in Jamestown
on March 26, 1888, he was the
son of Mary Warfield and Alex.
ander Broome.
He attended the Andrew Small
Academy, where he graduated as
valedictorian of his class in June
1904. The following September
saw the beginning of his teaching
career in a one room elementary
school at a salary Of $500.

Acc Scans
For Homes

The Atomic Energy Commits
sion is rounding up lists of avail.
able houses in upper Montgom-
cry County for employees at its
new Germantown office building.
Miss Virginia Richardson of the
Acc was in the county last week
contracting realtors handling pro-
perty in the upper county.
Construction of the ten million
dollar building is expected to be.
gin by early June. Completion
is expected late in 1857. The
building will accommodate 1000
workers.
Acc employees have shown
more interest in moving to lower
than upper Montgomery County,
says Miss Richardson.
However, about 25 employees
have inquired about houses in the
up-county, says Miss Richardson.
Ten workers h We already
bought property in upper Mont
gomery.
Acc also has prepared a direc-
tory of down-county subdivisions.
A new survey taken by the
Acc indicates that TAI workers
live within an hours drive of
Germantown. Many of the 476
employees who live more than
an hours drive from German
town will buy houses in the up
county, thinks Miss Richardson.
In August 1854, II percent of
the Acc employees lived within
80 minutes of Germantown. The
latest survey shows Is percent
of the employees living within
30 minutes of Germantown. This,
thinks Miss Richardson, indicates
that Acc workers are already
moving closer to the new office
site.

Another Legal Block
Stops Police Pay Hike

While the Montgomery County
Council, the Personnel Board,
County Manager Melvin L. Reese
and County Attorney Charles M.
Irelan continue to argue over
who may grant a pay raise,
county policemen are wondering
what the next pay envelope will
hold.
Last week Mr.. Irelan branded
as illegal" the four hours

since December by county police
men. The police are paid for

IA hours but work 48 hours each
week. Manager Reese approved
the overtime pay plan.
Tuesday the council was forced
to send back to the Personnel
Board a board recommended
retroactive police pay raise. The
proposed raise would about equal
the illegal" pay so policemen
would not have to return their
fourth months overtime salaries.
The board recommended the
higher pay scale be effective
from December i, 1855, to April
80, when they hope to have a
new permanent police pay scale
ready. The council wanted the
temporary pay hike stretched to
June 80 to give the board plenty
of time to prepare the perma-
nent scale.
Attorney Irelan stated that the
council had no right to set a ter
mination date contrary to the
Personnel Boards recommended
ton. Manager Reese disagreed.
Back to the board went the pay
hike proposal with a Carefully
worded memorandum" asking
the board to recommend the June
30 date.

Tax Slash
Seen Again

Rockville's real estate tax rate
may be chopped as much as ten
cents, city councilman Alex
ander Greene told the Silver
Rock Citizens Association Mon
day night. The tax rate was cut
from 90 cents to IS cents per 500
of assessable value last year.
Greene and the four other
members of the Citizens for Good
Government slate in Rockville's
April 80 mayor and council cleo
ton told the Silver Rock group
of accomplishments made during
the past two years by the all-CGG
town hierarchy.
Publisher Lila Thomson, only
other candidate in the race, told
the citizens group, Rockville is
in pretty sad shape if only one
slate comes from a town of
1900"
On the cog slate are Greene,
Mayor Dickran Y. Hovespian,
John E. Oxley, Wendell R. Turner
and Frank A. Ecker. Greene,
Hovsepian, Oxley and Turner
are serving now.
Greene said the tax cut may
be possible because the county'S
reassessment program will up
the towns tax base. Even with
a 10 cents tax cut the town may
have enough surplus to build its
community center, said Greene.
Mrs. Thomson acknowledged
accomplishments of the present
administration and said she had
only minor quarrels" with the
Cog platform. On other points
she criticized the administration
for moving too slowly.
The woman candidate said she
is in favor of "six-man, scout
car town police force" instead of
"a pair Of parking meter atten-
dants." She hit the administra-
ton for not cleaning up the town
physically and morally"
Mrs. Thomson called the mea-
