ever Whittier felt that it was unfortunate that

incorporate an increase in the salary scale.
Board Member Rose Kramer agreed with
Whittier that the governors committee on curricli

She praised the managers tremendous I'M

Fire Protection

The brush-off by the County
Council and the County Man
ager of the report and recon-
mendations of the Maryland
Fire Underwriters Rating Blu
reau after survey made by the
Bureau at the request of the
Council is the latest in a series
OF similar brush-offs since 1853.
Report after report by differ
ent experts in the field, many
made at the request of the
County Council, have been
unanimous in their criticism of
the inadequacy of our fire pro-
lection system. Each such re-
port has made recommendations
of a largely similar nature for
major reforms of that system,
including the key point of CEN
tralized County control over that
system.
With every one of such re-
ports, the County Council and
the County Manager have play
ed politics by burying these re
ports. In so doing, they have
deliberately endangered the
lives, property and pocketbooks
of the residents of the County
they are supposed to serve.
We intend to continue to press
for better fire protection in this
County, but think that this rec
ord of the County Council and
the County Manager is so bad
on the matter of fire protection
that the public should use this
record to force its representa-
tives to give them the fire pro-
lection system it needs or, If
those representatives refuse, to
throw them out. After all, it is
your life, your property, and
your pocketbook that is at
stake!

Protection in Montgom-
cry County.

Reese Budget

liz County Council has now been handed
the county managers recommended
budget. 1t will study the document, hold
hearings toward the end of this month, and
then, with fingers crossed, adopt a final
budget which will go into effect July /.
If you have even casual interest in
this preeocious, fast-growing county of ours
you would find it rewarding experience to
take look at the budget document itself
From his own salary of $4,000 (no salary
increase asked to the $3.50 estimated
amount needed by the. county school super
ntendent for his car, county expenses are
itemized in meticulous detail. 1t is most
extraordinary 224-page book which spells
out the projected operation of our $50 mil
lion government next fiscal year The mere
production of the book itself must have been
a stupendous job.
Particularly interesting important
are the detailed explanations of what the
money is to be used for under the headings
of program and performance The workings
of each department are explained and the
reasons the money is needed are spelled out.
This is truly program budget. The county
manager is apparently following the most
modern and enlightened budget techniques.
TaS " lilC COiltclllS, pIODdUly lIle IIlOSL
remarkable aspect of the entire budget is
the honeymoon" relationship which exists
between County Manager Reese and the
school officials. Historically, friction has
existed between the county manager and the
school board The educators have always
resented the managers authority to cut
their budget requests. And he has cut them
literally in the past. Credit for this goes,
IN part, to Reese who has been working
closely with school officials on what data he
would like to see submitted And sharing
in the kudos must be the new school SUPER
intendent c. Taylor Whittier, who seems to
be getting off to an amazingly good start
Reese's decision to disapproye the $150000
request for a start on the school boards new
administrative headquarters probably cannot
be quarreled with too strongly 1t is too bad,
though that he left out a needed $4,000
to reward with small pay hikes large group
OF our more experienced teachers who have
been by-passed in recent years.
Pending more detailed study of the
budget it would appear that Reese has done
a good job in holding down the proposed tax
rate increase to only seven cents per $1OO
valuation. We were expecting worse. Reese
is now in the happy position of being able
to challenge his critics to show where the
budget can be cut without .precipitating
hoWls OF anguish from some quarter It is
extremely doubtful if there are many who
can pass such test.

Clarifies lib z53

May ! attempt to moderate
some of the confusion that sur
rounds the probable use of funds
to be realized by the Suburban
Maryland Counties as a result
of the $500 teachers pay raise
bill.
The bill was introduced in the
Maryland legislature last year.
1t provided not only an increase
in the state minimum scale for
teachers of $500, but also that
counties paying over that mini
mum should increase their
scales to an amount that would
average $500 per teacher. AS
everyone realizes, this bill,
passed by large margins In both
House of Delegates and Senate,
was vetoed by Governor Nickel
din.
Realizing that this had taken
place and that any increase that
year would have to be wholly
supported by county funds, each
of the neighboring counties in.
creased their teachers salary
scales. In Montgomery County,
this increase, plus the one pres
emily submitted by the Board of
Education, more than meets the
requirements Of Fl. B. 253.
The fact that needs real clar.
ification is that the proposal to
be acted on by the County Man
ager and Council is not in addi-
ton to an amount of state aid.
The state aid will be absorbed In
County funds to make this years
increases possible. In Montgom-
cry County, estimates place this
aid at approximately 81 $50, 900,
nearly enough in itself to sup
port the entire proposal of the
Board of Education on salaries
for presently employed teachers.
Thank you for the opportunity
to state the above facts that
the readers Of your paper may

IreIon's Salary

@OUNTY Attorney Charles NJ Irelan
~ could, as they say, use good public re-
latlons man. The reason for this apparent
need is that at the moment he is guilty of fol-
lowing bad public relations policy And ap-
parently he is doing it entirely needlessly
for reasons known only to himself.
Last week, Irelan-a genial, experienced
public servant-was appointed general coun-
sci of the Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission. 1t is routine at
the time of announcing such appointments
for newspapers to tell the taxpayers how
much salary will be paid the official involved.
That's because the money involved is public
money and the public should know how it's
being spent. This could not be done last
week The reason: Park and Planning Off
Gals said they had been asked by Irelan to
withhold his salary figure. Why? No plaus-
ible answer was Forthcoming. Nor would
the appointee himself, when queried directly
this week by this newspaper, disclose the
figure.
1t is all very strange. In his present job,
Mr.. Irelan is paid $12,98O. His predecessor
IN the Park and Planning Commission Job,
]. Bond Smith, was paid about $4,000 to
$4,000 year. No doubt Mr. Irelan will be
paid approximately the same amount. And
we believe that such job is probably worth
that much pay. It's just that we don't see
why in the world the salary to be paid the
new general counsel-out of the public treas
ury-shouldn't be made public. It's all open
and above board and no one has anything
to hide. So what's to be gained by this
foolish business?
1t is bad enough for Mr.. Irelan to be so
stubborn about revealing the salary figure
but it is worse for the Planning Commission
Itself to honor his request. 1t makes it seem
almost as though the Commission is a pri-
vate little preserve run for the benefit of a
Few individuals rather than a broad public
agency created to serve the taxpayers.

The British sailed out of the harbor in 1888
There were no bands APPLYING there was no
jollity.
No cheers went up from off the shore-there was
no farewell song,
America was glad to see them go-they'd been
here much too long!
George Washington strolled about his place that
fine autumnal day,
The War-it was all over-we'd been victors
in the fray
He remembered his dreams in IA, and his vision
so profound
OF waterway, smooth and silent, carrying
coal to old Georgetown!
He gazed up the broad Potomac-his thoughts
were far away,
'Can it be done?" he asked himself, then
"Pll do it come what may!"
He thought of the Cumberland coal for the coun-
trys strength twas needed.
All of a sudden his course was clear, so he to
his transit proceeded.
And thus, a vision and a dream, gave birth
To the C&o Canal, twenty-seven million dollars
worth.

The long and massive aqueduct across

rocks
Fen now If water ran through tit wouldn't

Past Licksvile, Tuscarora, Point of Rocks, on up
to Brunswick, too
They formed the bed of the old canal-they cut
1t straight and true.
Nine years had passed, the time had flown and
Marylands funds were spent.
But they got right down to business, and bor-
rowed from the Government!
long, long ways to go-not much time to do
