hensive survey of financial re-
sources Of the State and local
tiles was made by Delegate
Blair Lee, III. Democrat Of
Montg omery. William M.

quiring excessive use Of the
property tax" said a resolution

local government and has ap-
pealed for legislative approval
for new taxes and other relief
measures.

ing powers" has not been made

Almond hackers on the COM
mittee were jubilant at the
committees action, since they
are in the minority of a 9-8
division on the committee.
That was the narrow edge by
which the committee last week
deferred action on a 10 per
cent liquor tax bill by Delegate
Robert Whitehead Of Nelson
County. The Whitehead pro-
posal is a part Of the 2 per cent
sales tax package now being Of
fered by Gov. Almond as an
alternative for his original 8
per cent plan
Both sides worked feverishly
over the weekend recess to
change that 9-8 division. A
second test vote yesterday on
the Whitehead bill showed
nothing had changed. The vote
to defer the bill a second time
