Lee Asks Study
OF Assessments
By . stan Correspondent Of The star

~ oeeh SoIIesbvnue1s " @1e os@a
ANNAPOLIS, Feb. ia re-
quest for q Legislative Council
study Of personal property as
sessments in Maryland is the
latest move in q Montgomery
County campaign here to bring
about more equitable assess
Iments in the Free State.
The study request was con-
tanned In q resolution introduced
lin the House Of Delegates last
might by Delegate Blair Lee ID,
chairman Of the Montgomery
delegation.
| Two other Montgomery
inspired measures were intro
lduced earlier with the intention
LOT clarifying and equaiizing as
Isessment procedures.
One Is the bill to abolish the
State Tax Commission and Gre
ate In its place a State tax
court to hear appeals on assess
ments made In the counties and
Baltimore City. and a new de-
Ipartment Of assessment, which
would administer the assessing
of property throughout the
State. Both Of those functions
now are handled by the Tax
Commission.
Chance Of Passage
Another bill before this Legis-
lature dealing with assessments
Is a measure introduced by Mr.
Lee annd Delegate w. w. Myers
Democrat Of Baltimore, to make
State employees Of all tax as
SCISSORS. Assessors are now paid
and supervised by both county
and State and are, therefore
subject to local political pres
Sures.
Mr.. Lee said this bill "is the
least drastic Of the several meth
DDS that have been proposed fol
eliminating inequities in assess
ments."
| County Hard Hit
Another assessment bill that
came before this Legislature from
a Montgomery source this session
was the measure dealing with
farm assessments, which has now
been passed over Gov. McKeldin's
veto.
The bill. which will take effect
Ion June /, provides that "lands
which are actively devoted te
farm o.. agricultural use shall be
assessed on the basis of such use
and shall not be assessed as II
Isubdivided or on any other
basis"
Mr.. Lee, who sponsored this
measure in the 1855 session. said
|"its prime purpose is to caution
assessors to assess farm land
according to the book and not
according to any impression
conscious or unconscious, that
they may get from observing real
estate development in fringe
areas."
i Disputes Viewpoint
Mr.. Lee denied the contention
by the Governor in his veto mes
sage that the new law will have
any drastic effect on assessing
farm lands.
The delegate commended, how
ever. that, If there are cases in
the future Of farm land being
assessed on any basis other than
Its true and current value, the
farmer can at least take a copy
Iof this law to the State Tax
Commission and display 1t as an
expression Of legislative intent"

To-day -old transit tieup. Dele
gates yesterday heard it had
caused a 36 per cent slump in
business In the downtown area.
Mr.. Cushman. q Washington
attorney and q member Of the
staff Of the Labor Bureau Of the
Midwest, was q leading spokes-
man for the washington union
during last years 52-day strike
there.
To Discuss Issues
Mr.. Cushman promised to tes-
tify as to the history Of pres
|eht negotiations in Baltimore
and the nature Of the issues In
volved from the unions point Of
view.
Today's hearings began in the
light Of these side developments
that came last night:
/. A late afternoon statement
lby Gov. McKeldin. In which he
said there was no justification
for the work stoppage in Balti-
more.
2. A Senate-passed resolution
calling on the company to agree
to submit the labor dispute to
arbitration by a special COM
mission, to be named by Balti-
more Mayor D'Alesandro.
No Peace in Sight
Gov. McKeldin last night is
sued a lengthy statement on the
strike situation, In which he said
there was no evidence Of ap-
preaching agreement between
the company and labor.
I'VE cannot escape the conclu-
sion that there is no justification
for work stoppages--be they
strikes or lockouts-when they
are against the public interest.
The transit strike in Bal
Itimore is such stoppage." the
Governor said.
At the same time, the Gov
Iernor urged the Legislature to
enact a Senate bill to provide
for temporary seizure by the
State Of any public utility that
is e-bound or threatened by
10 strike. The bill would require
compulsory arbitration by q
commission to be named by the
Governor.
