Utility Tax Killed,
School Aid i'm Doubt
Loss of Federal
Help Could Mean
Higher Tax Rate

County taxes, already des-
tined to rise by as much as
371a cents next year, could
go up another 212 cents If
Congress fails to approve a
supplemental appropriation
for Federal aid.
The county would stand to
lose about $250,000 of the ap.
proximately SIT million in OPP
Grating funds for which it is
eligible as a "Federally inn
pacted area"
In addition, the county is eli
gible for some 81 million in con-
struction funds, of which about
100000 would be cut off in
the absence of a supplemental
appropriation.
The aid is designed to assist
school systems which must ham
die large numbers of children of
military personnel and Federal
civilian employees. 1t has been
in effect since 1850.
Current appropriations, how
ever, have proved to be short of
the full amount authorized. Any
suppl e m e n tai appropria-
ton would have to be approved
before the end of this fiscal
year on July /.
Throughout the Washington
Metropolitan area, schools could
be shOrtchanged by about $7.2
million If the added sum is not
forthcoming.
Rep. John r. Foley of Mary
land is one of several Congress
men who have pledged their
support to the fight for addi-
tional funds.
In Montgomery County, the
full aid eligibility has been fig
ured in the income portion of
the 1959-60 school budget. II
the aid is cut, the operating
deficit would have to be met by
increased taxes, while capital
outlay loss could be replaced
only by a bond issue.

Another round of bidding
soon will get under way for
an auditorium to be built on
the Rockville Civic Center
site, following termination of
contract with Satterlee and
Smith, architectural firm
which drew up the first and
costly set of plans.
The Rockville Mayor and
Council Tuesday accepted the
recommendations of the Civic
Center Auditorium Reappraisal
Committee that action be taken
Immediately to line up another
firm.
The Satterlee and Smith
plans, which cost the city S.
900, resulted in a low bid of
$204,0O0. The Reappraisal Com
nnittee, with Councilman Frank
A. Ecker as its chairman, rec
commended a ceiling Of $150,000
for the building.
The committee recommended
that the building contain a
stage, dressing rooms, kitchen
facilities, rest rooms, cloak
rooms, storage space, and a pro
lection booth.
Also suggested was considera-
ton of a two-story facility pro
viding room for a diving and

mended that the theater seat at
least 500 persons.
Preliminary interviews with
architects have been set for

POllsters
Told of
Bus Needs

Inadequate bus service and
high taxes are among the
principal complaints being
voiced by Rockville residents
to interviewers engaged in
an economic survey of the
city.
The need for more good apart
ment units is another frequent
ly-heard plea, according to DR..
Ernest E. Blanche, head of a
Kensington firm which is con-
Quoting the survey.
Data from the study will be
used In formulation Of a 2O-year
Master Plan by city fathers.
DR.. Blanche said Tuesday that
his interviewers have completed
more than half of the first, or
residential, phase Of the study.
Subsequent phases will involve
commercial and industrial de-
velopment.
DIR. Blanche said the city's res
idents generally have given full
cooperation to interviewers. Per-
sons refusing to answer the
missionaries have numbered
about three per cent, a figure
which the researcher describes
as Surprisingly low"
Many apartment welle rs
have complained Of the scar
city of apartments which would
be more pleasant than those in
which they now live, according
to the questioners.
"AImost everybody complains
also about high taxes" said DIR.
Blanche. But you always ex-
pect that, wherever you are"
A high number OF residents
have mentioned the inadequacy
Of public transportation In the
area particularly into the Dis
trict, DR.. Blanche said.
Statistics from the residen-
tial phase of the survey, which
includes about one Of every six
homes in the city, will be re-
leased in about three weeks.
Meanwhile, the interviewing
teams will undertake CONNER
cial study in about a week, and
an industrial survey sometime
next month.

Move Could Up
Tax Rate Hike
BY Another 1Oc

The Montgomery County
legislative delegation has re-
jected a proposed tax on util-
tiles recommended by the
County Council - a decision
that could mean adding 10
more cents to the county
property tax rate.
The delegation voted 4 to o
against the Councils plan, with
two members, Blair Lee III and
Mrs. Margaret Schweinhaut, alb
staining.
The bill would have levied a
tax on gross receipts of gas,
electric and telephone utilities
and a few oil companies. Total
revenue would have been about
81 million.
Although the tax would be
passed on to consumers in the
form of higher utility rates, it
would be spread out over a
broader base than the property
tax. Real estate owners there
fore would benefit, according to
County Manager Melvin L.
Reese.
Reese has estimated that the
property tax rate next year
would have to rise by SO cents if
the utility tax were to be
adopted, and by 40 cents if not,
in order to balance a proposed
$72.1 million budget.
Two delegates - ]. Grahame
Walker and Mrs. Edna p. Cook
took issue with Reese's asser-
ton that the new tax would
ease the burden on home owners.
Mrs. Schweinhaut said she
was abstaining from the vote be-
cause she questioned the pro-
priety Of the delegations re-
fusal to endorse legislation re-
quested by the County Council.

INDECENT
Rate Still
Undecided

Eight months of negotia-
tons have failed to produce
an agreement between the
county government and Sub
urban Hospital over how
much the hospital should re-
ceive for care of INDECENT
patients.
When signed, the contract
will be retroactive to July l.
1858, and be in effect until July
/, 1859.
DR.. William J. Peoples, coun.
ty health director, said a Coun.
ty Council ruling sets $26 pei
patient day as the maximum
the contract could call for. The
hospital says its actual patient
costs are more than $28.11 a
day.
Several other hospitals also
handle INDECENT county patients,
and all have signed 1889 con.
tracts at varying figures under
SIG. They include Washington
Sanitarium, Montgomery Coun.
ty General Hospital and the
Christ Child Home.
"a spokesman for Montgom.
cry County General said that
although that hospital has sign.
ed a contract at a figure OF
$3.50 a day, copies have not
been returned from the county
and no funds have been re.
ceived by the hospital)
DR.. Peoples said he expects to
make an offer to Suburban Hos.
pital later this week. He did not
disclose the terms.

Left unsettled was the future
of a much desired overpass at

Immediate action to be taken
includes raising of approaches
to the crossing and clearing of

City Manager Walter A.

would be increased to 5000 feet.
Raising the road level the nee.
essary four feet will cost the
city an estimated $500.
Robert A. Pugh, owner of
property on one corner of the

trees and shrubs on his land for
the recommended 1000 feet.
Land owners on two other cor.
ners have not yet been con-
tacted.
A fourth corner will be diff.

The Rollins ave. overpass, es.
timated to cost 100000, Is cur

According 10 Scheiber, the
State considers it none of its
business. The county, although
half of it would be In their
boundaries, evinces a great lack
OF interest.
The B & o, itself, couldn't
be less interested, Judging by
correspondence between the B
