Questions Raised
Mr. Foley said he raised sew

proposal for amending the

Maryland and Virginia legis-

He said, however. he felt the
union and the District Com

reach an agreement whereby
Congress would pass the COM

acceptable to the two States

any time in tying down the
bridge. He said Maryland al
ready has bought several por-
tions in Montgomery County.
Since River Bend is the mar
rowest part of the Potomac in
that area, he said it seemed
likely a bridge may be built
there regardless Of the con-
troversial dam. But since the
dam is being studied. he said.
the regional council should
initiate a study of whether the
two projects could be COM
bined.
The council voted to start
the wheels rolling on the
bridge site, but deleted any
reference to the dam after two
members said they wanted to
leave no impression that they
favored the dam. They were

planners, Mr.. Gingery said. are
under tremendous pressure from
developers to determine a firm
location from that point to the
District line but can't do it
until the District decides its
own location.
Maryland Palmer C. Warren
Giauque told the council, how
ever, that the problem has been
eaSed by the Districts willing
ness to narrow the area at the
District-Maryland line within
which it will locate the road.
Mr.. Giauque said this prob
ably would let the Maryland
planning agency determine inn
mediately a firm route from
the Inter-County Belt to East
West highway about q mile
from the District. He said he
would propose this at the next

A 50-cent cut in the proposed
$3.50 Fairfax Countyrea estate
tax rate increase was suggested
today by County Executive
Carleton c. Massey as the
board Of supervisors began a
budget-trimming session.
Mr.. Massey said a STA mill
lion bond issue for capital outlay
and a dditional anticipated
revenue would permit the So
cent cut.
The school board is expecting
$288,000 more than originally
anticipated. Mr.. Massey said,
and there will be 1920, 900 more
left in the county budget than
was expected when budget
estimates were prepared.
County revenue next year
from auto licenses also will be
up $150,000, he said.
Mr.. Massey made his sug-
gestion as the supervisors be-
gan a shirt-sleeye session
aimed at slicing the proposed
$34.6 million budget which now
calls for a $3.50 tax rate per
500 assessed valuation. The

reported.
The Capitals estimated an
nual cost to a family of four
for a decent" minimum OF
food, housing and services, was

December through February.
This figure compares with
$4.387 in San Francisco and

Chances of bills creating the
C. 81 o. Canal Park and a
metropolitan area transit au-
thority passed at this session
lof Congress have improved
considerably because Of recent
developments, Representative
Foley, Democrat of Maryland,
believes.
Mr.. Foley said acceptance by
the District Commissioners
of a proposed Budget Bureau
amendment to House Resolu-
ton 1881 provided a hopeful
sign that the log jam can be
broken"
The Sixth District represent
alive expressed his optimism at
a luncheon meeting at the Cap
Iitol, to which he had invited
the members Of Montgomery
County's delegation to the
Maryland General Assembly.
Mr.. Foley said the District
Commissioners had voted 2 to
| /, with Engineer Commissioner
A. C. yelling dissenting, to re-
verse their previous stand for
excluding a 35-mile stretch
above Great Falls from the
park.
Changes Suggested
Commissioners Robert E.
Mclaughlin and David Kari
rick accepted the Budget Blu
reau amendment with only two
additions, he said. He added
he had been advised that con-
servationists also would be
agreeable to the bill with the
proposed changes.
The bill amendment requires
the Secretary of Interior to
spend funds on the area above
Great Falls only after findings,
they are reasonably justified
that benefits will accrue to the
public prior to the land being
used for other purposes.
The District Commissioners
urged an addition to the
amendment to require the In
terror Secretary to confer an
nually with the Commission
ers and the Secretary Of the
Army.
They also urged that water
supply be listed among those
services for which Congress
might later be allowed to use
the canal parkland.
