Mrs. Stella B. Werner, presi-
dent of the Montgomery County
Council. yesterday asked wom-
en- voters to support a bill be-
fore Congress to provide pay
mentS to local governments in
lieu Of taxes on Federal prop
erty.

members of the County League
Of Women Voters at a meeting
in Rockville. Mrs. Werner said
county residents should write

measure. She referred to Senate
bill go. introduced by Senator

also questioned the expendi-
ture of $4,000 for the County
Public Utilities Commission.
I'VE haven't won any rate
case since I've been on the
board and I doubt we have ever
won one." said MIR. Raul.
The main function of the
county utilities commission is
to make studies and draw up
recommendations on proposed
utility rate increases. Most of
the budget is for a SO 300 salary
for the commissions executive
assistant; 1929 for a clerk
stenographer, and $4,000 for
consultants' fees.
Increased tax collections
above those set UP in the
budget were reported by Edgar
Smith, director of finance. Mr..
Smith said original revenue
estimates were made in Deem
Der. He said collections since
then indicate the board can
count on 1922, 1000 more being
taken in, primarily from prop
Ierty taxes and business licenses.
