Taxpayers to

School Cuts

The annual battle of the
budget with the county man
ager in one corner versus the
school people and parents in
the other took place in a much
cooler atmosphere last Thurs
day, thanks to the chilly
spring weather as compared
to the hot and humid May hear
ing nights of other years.
However the arguments oppos-
ing the county managers cuts in
the school boards $204 million
operating budget were just as
heated as in former years.
The 600 person audience did
not break the attendance records
set in the previous two years
budget hearings possibly because
there has been some confusion as
to exactly what County Manager
NJ L. Reese's $1.2 million cut
meant to the operation of the
schools.

hearing, and this certainly in

Suit Demands
Pay be Given
Back to Town

Roy l.. Talbot of Gathers
burg filed a taxpayers suit
Monday against three town
councilmen, four former coun-
cilmen and an ex-mayor, de-
handing tn e y give back
money he says they illegally
took from the town as pay.
The suit urged Circuit Court
for permanent Injunction
against future pay to mayor or
council.
Mr.. Talbot, 300 N. Frederick
Ave-, contended that the then
mayor, Harry c. Perry, ST., and
the then council members acted
unconstitutionally in July, 1850,
when they voted to pay them
selves for their work on the town
board.
Barnard T. Welsh of Rockville
is acting as Mr.. Talbotts attor-
ney.
The suit charged that:
On July 3, 1850, the town faith.
ers voted to pay the mayor S25
month and the councilmen SIS
each a month for running munich
pal affairs. Mr.. Talbot contends
this was in violation of the Coun-
ty Code. He said the code speci-
fies that mayor or councilman
may not receive pay from the
town, except that the mayor is
permitted the same fees as JUS
tice of the Peace. He said that in
order to change this ban on pay
ments, an ordinance must be vot-
ed on by the public at a regular
or special election. No such refer
endum was held in Gaithersburg,
he said.
On December 3, 1856, the
Gaithersburg council voted to null
lily the resolution Of July 3, 1850.
But Mr.. Talbot contends this 1856
resolution was phrased so vague
ly that it did not nullify the ear
lier resolution. He says the 1850
resolution is still in effect.
The taxpayer asked the court
to declare the 1850 action uncon-
stitutional and void. He also
asked that John M. Mannix, sec
retary-treasurer of the town, be
enjoined from making such pay
ments in the future.
The suit did not name as de-

No Bill of

To Be Filed

A School Board statement
explaining that there was no
sentiment in the Board for re-

ent Forbes Norris when his

The statement stuck to broad
generalities on what it called DR..

Ship" sound judgment" and lad
ministrative competence" and list
ed no specific differences between
the board and its superintendent.
This board does not intend to
file bill of particulars. We have
used our judgment based on our
experiences of the past two
years" Board President Lathrop
Smith said in press conference
following the release.
Two occasions mentioned in the
release when differences and ap.
parent shortcomings" in DR.. Nor
riS' administrator had been the
subject of serious and frank
discussions were pinpointed by
Mr.. Smith as taking place last
June and the previous fall but
he would give no further details
He said there was no possibility
of a reversal of the boards deci
sion which had been taken in 'in
fornlaf.action' and which, he said
was unanimous in that no board
member would support the re
newal of DR.. Norris contract.
No steps have been taken to
find a replacement for DR.. Norris
but Mr.. Smith promised that I'VE
will do something soon" When
asked the qualifications of new
superintendent, the board presi
dent referred the press to the
points outlined in the release.
Questioned specifically as to
whether indignation had been one
of the differences, Mr.. Smith
made an ambiguous denial Tex
cept possibly as a symptom Of
other factors"
DIR. Norris was in New York
City attending science meeting
Monday when the statement was
released but Mr.. Smith said thai
the superintendent had read the
statement and concurred in its re
lease that night. DIR. James L
