On School Costs

An Arlington County Board
member has asked School Supt.
T. Edward Rutter for classroom
operation statistics from nearby
communities to aid in forth
coming budget deliberations.
Mrs. Leone Bucholz brought
forth a list of specific requests
at yesterdays county board
meeting.
Mrs. Buchholz first asked for
school expenditure figures dur
ling the current and 1886
school years from the Washing
ton area jurisdiction.
In addition, she called for the
current budget requests IN these
communities on seven categories.
Included are such items as the
total cost to educate each child,
and the ratio of students to per-
sonnet other than classroom
teachers.
The statement by Mrs. Buch-
holz, which is being forwarded
to Mr.. Rutter, said:
AREA comparisons are ir1por-
tant in Analysing school costs
and personnel requirements since
we tend to be in the same labor
market with nearby areas"
The County Board member
added:
Expensive school construction
can often be justified If 1t is
backed up by proof that house,
keeping services are being ac-
complished in these schools at
less expense.

In addition, Mr.. Draheim said
the construction industry is now

future would have to be men,
bers Of the Montgomery County
Planning Commission.
Wants ii Members
The fourth bill, H. B. 400. was
introduced by Delegate Hervey
G. Machen. Democrat of Prince
Georges.
1t would increase the commits
sion from six to IL, with the
same appointive plan as that
proposed in the Duckett bill, but
the terms Of the present COM
missioners all would expire on
May 3. The Governor would have
to make his three appointments
from lists supplied by the Demo-
cratic and Republican State Gen.
trial Committees of the two
counties.
The park commissioner would
be abolished.
The Governor would designate
the chairman from either
county. The other 10 members
would be half from Montgomery
and half from Prince Georges.
! They would serve as local plan
ming boards for their county
governments.
One Of the four planning COM
lmissioners to be appointed by
the Prince George County Com
miSsioners would be a county
commissioner and automatically
serve as chairman of the Prince
Georges Planning Board. The
Montgomery County Council
would be permitted to name a
council member or county de-
partment head. The Montgom-
cry Planning Board would elect
its chairman.
There is a fifth reorganization
proposal that has not been put
in bill form because no bill
would be required. That is to
leave the planning commission
structure as 1t is now.

One member of the commits
sion from each county would be

ment. The four county-ap-
pointed commissioners from each
county would serve as local PLAN

bills H. B. 3l8 is before the

he at a standstill unless the tax
increase is granted.
The park tax has been z cents
in Montgomery County since the
commission was created in 1927,
but reached Z cents just this
year in Prince Georges County.
In his budget message. Mr..
Nicholson urged prompt enact
ment" Of legislation at Annapolis
to increase the tax rate because
Prince Georges County must
levy by March 81 and Mont
gomery by April IS.
He also urged studies Of the
feasibility of locating additional
income-producing concessions in
the park system and increasing
fees for nonresident use Of park
buildings.
Mr.. Nicholson reiterated his
support Of legislation to increase
the commissions debt limitation
and Federal Capper-Cramton
fund authorizations.
Mr.. Nicholson said that If the
regional district is extended to
take in all of both counties. pro-
vision would have to be made
for planning costs in the new
areas.
Other Plans Proposed
The Scent tax rate would pro-
duce about $4,000 in rural
Montgomery and about $4,000
in rural Prince Georges. Mr..
said Montgomery
County this year is spending
some $4,000 on upper-county
planning exclusive of consultants'
fees.
The secretary treasurer pro-
posed that before the admins
trative tax rate is increased,
three other possibilities for in
creased income be considered:

Planning Group Change
BY GENE GOODWIN

ANNAPOLIS. Md. Feb 16.-The public will chance
Tuesday night to express bills before the
legislature to the MaryandNatio Capital Park
and Planning Commission
The hearing is scheduled for pm the chamber
of the Statehouse.
The two bills which to the most support among
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-02-17

the montgomery and Prince
Georges lawmakers. who will
conduct Tuesdays hearing, are
the so-called Lee and Duckett
measures.
Both would retain the present
regional structure of the BIZ
County Agency. but would pro-
vide for separate county plan
ming boards within this struc-
lture.
Most Controversial
Most controversial of the four
approaches is contained in two
bills introduced by Delegate
Margaret c. Schweinhaut, Dem
ocrat of Montgomery. to au-
thorize a separate Montgomery
County planning commission.
Only one of Mrs. Schwein-
haut's bills is before the Joint
Montgomery-Princ Georges del
egation committee.
The measure authorizing a
separate Montgomery planning
body is an amendment to the
Statewide expressed powers
Act for charter counties and has
been referred to the House Ju-
dietary Committee, which has
scheduled a hearing for 1890
am. Thursday.
The fourth approach to the
planning commission reorganiza-
ton expressed in current legis-
lation is contained in the So
called Machen bill, a sort of a
dark horse in this years race.
Four More Members
Here. briefly. is what the re-
organization bills propose:
No. /: H. b. asa, drafted by
Delegate Blair Lee III. Democrat
of Montgomery, and cospon-
sored by Delegate Perry o. Will
kinson. Democrat of Prince
Georges, to increase membership
Of the commission from six to 10.
The present Republican com
trolled Commission Is appointed
by the Governor. This bill would
provide that the Montgomery
Council and the Prince Georges
County Commissioners, both en-
tirely Democratic at present,
would appoint FIVE commissioners
each. who would serve as county
planning boards for their respec-
tive counties. The full 10-mem-
Der commission would sit on
regional matters.
The bill abolishes the long
standing practice Of the vice.
chairman of the commission
serving as part commissioner.
Terms of all present commits
sioners would expire June Is.
1857. Present terms are six years.
They would last four years under
this bill and appointments would
be on a staggered basis.
To assure local responsiveness,
the salaries Of the planning COM
missioners would be set and paid
by the two county governing
bodies.
