SENTINEL
Farm Groups Hit
Regular Tax Hikes

An eight-point program call
ing for economy in government
and opposing continual or Pc
riodic" tax increases has been
drafted by the Joint Tax Com.
mittee of the Maryland State
Grange and the Maryland Farm
Bureau, Inc.
The recommendations were
listed in a 20page report analyk-
ing state tax and revenue prob
lens.
In urging more serious con-
sideration" of economy moves,
the committee mentioned parti.
cularly school and highway con-
struction.
At the same time, the group
contended that tax problems
twill not be solved by continu.
al or periodic increases in tax
rates." While such hikes may
sometimes be justified, the COM
mittee said, preference should
be given revisions or modifica.
tons in the existing tax struc.
ture. The latter methods, the re-
ports stated, will prove more
fruitful and equitable" in the
long run than raising taxes.
If the need for more tax rev.
enue become imperative" the
committee suggested changes in
the income and/or sales taxes.

cluded:

The local NAACP, through its

letter that the trial of the four
officers accused by Smith of

determination and vigor."
During the trial, the letter
noted, the officers did not testi.

had been beaten was not contra

later took four stitches in the

Cabin John-Brookmont
Zone
For Schools
Under Study
By Sandy ROvner
Oliver 6-8S63

A locally inspired movement
to establish traffic limitations
near county schools appeared
to be gaining impetus last week
as two groups were reported
to be giving serious consider
alton to a resolution proposed
by the Mohican Mills Citizens
Association and the Brookmont
Elementary School P-TA.
Mrs. Abraham Sirkin of Wis.
casset rd., Mohician Hills, lead
er of the movement, reported
Montgomery Civic Federation
and the County Council of
P-TAs will react favorably to
the proposal.
The resolution would ask the
County Council to direct the
State Roads Commission to es-
tablish 15.mile-an-hour speed
zones near schools during ar.
rival and departure times with
Flashing signals, buoys or other
signs or mechanism" to alert
drivers. 1t points out that au-
thority for such action was pro-
vided by new section to the
State Roads Code which went
into effect June 1, 1859, and
which states that upon the re.
quest of tn local governing body.
the States Roads Commission
is authorized to adopt and es-
tablish speed zones and restric.
tons for schools which are
g. within a half mile radius of
state roads,"
"The resolution was a direct
outgrowth of a serious traffic
situation facing the Brookmont
School where, until recently,
the speed zones on Sangamore
I'd were Is MPH at the Army
Map Service, IS MPH in the resi-.
dental area and 80 MPH in
front of the school," Mrs. Sirkin
said, adding that County Police
now have reduced the school
zone to 25 MPH but have no au.
thority to lower it further. "Par-
ents still feel strongly that a
dangerous situation exists" she
declared. Opponents of the
plan are worried more about
the flow of traffic than about
the safety of our children. There
has been some comment that
buoys = the least expensive
warning mechanism used widely
in the District-are easily hit by
motorists. Well, we feel bet
ter hit a buoy than boy"
(Some notifications of the
resolution have been suggested
providing for restrictions only
where it is deemed absolutely
necessary. An unofficial spokes-
man for the Bannockburn Civic
Association has also pointed out
that when the West Bethesda
High School is completed an.
other very dangerous situation
will exist unless the 40 mile
limit on River Rd., Generally
considered outrageous anyhow,
is lowered.)
