But on Tuesday night, at what
may have been a record turn

resolution asked the County

The County Council this week
approved a 1884 million budget
highest ever passed in Montgom
cry and about 100000 over Coun
ty Manager M. L. Reese's recon
mended outlay.
The tax rate will be $2.15 pei
500 of assessed valuation, an in
crease of II cents.
Mr.. Reese had recommended a
15-cent raise in the tax rate, but
his proposal would have retained
the 11-cent, partial pay as you &c
tax for capital construction. The
Council whacked the 11-cent at
tempt to pay as you go down to
6 cents. Some observers feel this
action in effect increased the tax
rate II cents, not II.
When Mr.. Reese submitted his
recommendations last month, he
urged retention of the 11-cent con
tribution toward paying as the
county goes. He warned that the
County's debt service is forcing
taxpayers to pay S1.40 for every
81 in value received.
The Council blamed Gov. Theo.
dore F. McKeldin for 8 cents OF
the tax rate increase. II charged
that his veto of the teacher pay
raise bill had erased $1.3 million
in State aid for Montgomery
County education.
The statement said that if Gov
McKeldin had signed the bill, the
county tax rate could have beer
set at $2.06 instead of $2.15. How
ever, if the bill had been signed
the county would have had to
drop its 2 cents a pack tax on
cigarettes.
The Council provided salary in
creases of up to $500 a teacher
as the School Board requested.
The School Board got the big
gest single chunk Of the budget
about S19.7 million. General coun
ty operating costs received $11e
million. And So million was voted
for paying off principal and in

THE LOWDOWN
BY Nfasco Young

New York (ANP)-- In the
world Of bright lights the most
exciting news Of the week - and
perhaps the year -- is originating
in Philadelphia where an inter-
racial musical comedy starring
Lena Horne and white actor
Ricardo Montalban bowed at the
historic shubert Theatre.
A calypso comedy sprinkled
with some Of the seasons most
clever music, Jamaica" is an ex-
citing love story which finds the
great Lena pitched in a turbulent
romantic battle with Ricardo, who
plays the part Of a happy and
carefree fisherman. Already in
ternationally known as a top art
list on the nitery circuit, Miss
Horne literally throws every ounce
Of her unquestionable talent into
her vocalizing chores, effectively
winning the audience applause by
singing three of the first four
numbers of the show.
Playing the part of the only
dressmaker on the Pigeon Is
lands. Lena's daily dream Is to
transfer her designing profess
sion 10 another, bigger and rich.
or island, Manhattan, New
York City,
Judging from audience reaction,
Lena's best performance comes
when she delivers the charactisti-
cslly sultry Take 1t Slow Joe"
number. Employing the manners
and expressions she has learned
through the years Of cafe work,
Miss Horne, in the style OF a typl-
cal bistro ehanteuse, puts consid-
cradle emotion and telling facial
expression In her songs.
While Jamaica" is easily a top
drawer stage production, in addi-
ton to being Lena Horne's first
Broadway starring vehicle, the
spectator couldn't help but think
that it's recognition of the calyp-
so music and dance craze has
come a bit too late-inasmuch as
calypso is a dying fad. But with
the principal roles Of Jamaica"
in the capable hands Of two vet
Grams like Lena Horne and Ricardo
Montalban it is probably that a
successful Broadway run is forth
coming, despite the cooling nation
al interest in calypso.
