Also. yesterday the council in
general supported a report that

Consideration Of a report on

the rural and smaller counties

areas.
Early in the day Senator
Goldstein ruled that a proposal
to provide any new forms OF
State school aid in the form Of
direct grants on q per pupil or
q per classroom basis had been
defeated in q voice vote.
Passes on Reconsideration
But on q reconsideration in
the afternoon session the pro-
posal passed by Z to S vote
Montgomery Senator Edward
S. Northrop. chairman of the
committee studying the funds
distribution. said the direct
grants were more fair to the
growing metropolitan area
counties because some Of the
rural counties were deliberately
holding down their assessments
to get a fatter share Of equal
ization funds.
The council voted to support
legislation that would make all
assessors in the State State
employees. At present their
salaries are paid jointly by the
county and the State.
Senator Northrop said this
should lead to more uniform
assessments throughout the
State. - -
