Takoma Park Mayor Heads
States Municipal League

Mayor George M. Miller,
of Takoma Park, was elect
ed president of the Mary
land Municipal League last
week at closing sessions of
Its 18th annual meeting at the
Rockville Civic Center.
Miller, assistant chief Of the
account section of the Bureau
of Reclamation's Washington
office, succeeds Hagerstown
Mayor Winslow F. Burhans,
who has been president of the
league for, the past year. He
currently is serving his fourth
two-year term as mayor of Ia
koma Park, having first been
elected in 1854.
Miller has been vice president
of the State league for the last
two years.
His election climaxed a sue.
cessful three-day meeting at
tended by some 200 delegates
from Maryland's more than 100
incorporated communities. An
extensive series of panel discus
sions, business sessions and so
cial activities was included on
the program for the convention
= the first major meeting at
tracing out-of.town participants
to utilize Rockville's newly-com-
pleted Civic Auditorium.
Among them was a measure
calling on the General Assem-
bly, to implement a Constitution
al amendment approved by the
voters November 8, empower
ing the legislature to permit
cities and towns in the State
to engage in urban renewal pro-
grams. In anticipation Of a
favorable vote on the amend
ment, Rockville officials al
ready have taken initial steps
toward implementing urban re-
newal, and have provided funds
for the necessary personnel In
the current budget.
Other resolutions called for
enabling acts to allow city and
towns to assess partial taxes
against improvements COM
pleted during the tax year, and
to authorize cities and towns to
enact ordinances requiring sub
dividers 70 dedicate recreation

and water and sewer lines need
ed for their subdivision, al
though until five years ago the
city provided streets and utili-
ties and assessed the property
owners over several years.
Engineer Joseph c. Rodgers,
representing owners of As acres
fronting on Falls rd., told the
council if his clients must pro-
vide these services it will add
$4,000 to the price of each house
and price them out of the sub
division market. The houses are
designed to sell for $4,000 to
$4,000.
Purchase Contract Held
Contract-owner of the parcel
in the Fruit Farm tract are Jay
Fitzgerald, Owens Hayes, Viii
liam Rafferty, and John Mar.
They wish to purchase the prop
erty from Nathan Lubar and
Bernard Paskin, who recently
asked the council to drop their
rezoning request for the Fruit
Farm tract after owners of por-
tons of the tract told the coun-
ell they had no previous knowl-
edge of the coming request and
In fact did not wish it.
A factor in the cost of servic-
ing each house, Rodgers pointed
out, is that pumping station
will be needed because there Is
no natural flow into the Rock
vile system. Also, he said, 100
feet of pipe will be needed to
bring the water past undevelop-
ed land.
To Consider Request
Mayor Alexander J. Greene
told Rodgers that he is opposed
to changing the city policy for
Rodgers clients, but said the
council would take the matter
under consideration, and posi-
bly, work out assessments on the
undeveloped properties north of
the 80 acre tract to defray costs
of the extension of the city
services.
In other business the council
moved to increase the sign set
back on Hungerford DIR. from II
to 18 feet.
Also, the council appointed
Mary Philips to the Rockville
Housing Authority. Mrs. Philips

the committee to force a reap

Although conceding the Legis-

Judge o. Bowie Duckett told

Maryland
Gains Seat
In House

Maryland has been as
sured an additional seat in
Congress as the result of
population figures compiled
in the 1860 census, accord
ing to announcement by 1.-The
Census Bureau this week.
Although the total number Of
Congressman will be reduced
from the present 437 to 49,
the total authorized before
Hawaii and Alaska were admit
ted to the Union Maryland will
gain the additional seat because
it was among states whose
population increased faster than
the national average from 1850
to 1860, the bureau said.
The additional Congressman
will boost Maryland's House
total to eight when reappor-
tionment is achieved, a move
scheduled in time for the 1862
elections.
Area Is Favored
While the State Legislature
win be responsible for realign-
ing the boundaries of the Con-
gressional districts to accommo-
date the new House member,
Secretary Of State Thomas B.
Finan indicated recently the
new seat would probably go to
the suburban area.
Final census figures set
Maryland's population at 3,100,.
$50 in comparison to the total
OF 2,343,0O1 recorded 10 years
ago an increase of 1928 per
cent. The national average in
crease during the decade was
1875 per cent.
The nations population was
reported at 179,323,175, for an
increase of 27997,377 since
1850.

County to Press
Road Tax Study
Further Steps Planned in Move to Seek More
Equitable Distribution Of Highway Revenues

/ The County Council this
week asked for all available
data on the extent of the
County's contribution to
State highway funds, as the
forerunner of a new move to
bring about more equitable dis
tribution of the revenues.
Alex K. Hancock, director Of
finance, was requested to obtain
the data in advance Of a pro-
posed joint meeting between the
Council and the County's legis-
lative delegation for the purpose
Of exploring steps that might be
taken to bring the county
greater return of motor vehicle
and gasoline tax receipts.
Hancock, who told the coun-
ell he had encountered difficult
ty in obtaining detailed infor-
nation about the sources of gas
oline tax revenues, was asked
by Councilman David Cahoon to
submit as much data as possible
on the States distribution Of the
funds.
December Meeting Asked
Cahoon also suggested De-
cember meeting between the
council and the legislative dele
cation for a review Of the pres.
ent distribution system and 4
discussion of legislation that
might effect revision.
The request was made after
Councilman Joe M. Kyle had ex-
pressed concern over whether
the county was getting a fair
shake" in the States ALLEGATION
of gasoline tax and motor We
hicle registration funds for
highway construction. Kyle spe-
officially questioned the equity
of the States allotment of funds
to Prince Georges and Mont
gomery. counties,,as compared to
other less populous areas OF the
state.
Reaffirms Position
In laying plans for further ex.
ploration of the tax distribution
formula, the Council informally
affirmed its position OF last Au.
gust when 1t agreed to back a
move by the State Association
of County Commissioners to
seek a revision Of the program.
However, the State associa-
ton took no action on the pro.
posal at Its annual meeting,
merely leaving the matter open
for further study.
Citing the failure of the State
association and the Influential
James Committee to make any
recommendations on the tax
plan, Councilwoman Mrs. Stella
Werner observed that "if this
thing is going to be kept alive,
1t looks like it will be up to the
larger counties to keep 1t going"
State Gets Half
Under the present system, the
State Roads Commission retains
50 per cent Of gasoline tax and
vehicle registration revenues
for construction and mainte-
nance of State roads, the City Of
Baltimore gets a flat 30 per cent
and the remaining 20 per cent is
divided among the % counties.
From the county share, the
highway funds are distributed
on the basis OF road mileage.
AS a consequence, county Of
ficisls maintain, no considers-
ton Is given the population Of
the county or the volume Of
money 1t contributes to the
State fund.
