Ripirion Suit Charges
Lobbying and Influence

/ E. Clinton Bamberger, appeared
before a legislative committee
in 1857 to explain the proposed
law that he himself had drafted
as a member of Smoot's coun-
sci in his private capacity.
2. That Lansdale G. Sasser,
former Maryland Congressman,
had been a paid lobbyist for
Smoot in seeking the 1857 law
change.
3. That Louis L. Goldstein,
now State controller of Mary
land but president of the State
Senate in 1857, had introduced
the riparian bill at the request
Of Smoot interests.
Punitive Damages Sought
On objection by Smoot's
lawyers, Charles c. G. Evans
and Matthias j. DeVito, Judge
Thomson took the testimony
about the 1857 law subject to
exception" of possibly ruling it
out later. Mr.. Bamberger was
on the witness stand again
today.
The Virginians contend
Smoot had no right to dredge a
gravel bed from the sand on
their side of the river channel
in 1856, 1857 and 1858. The
dredgers contend that Mary
land owns the river bed to the
Virginia low water mark.
Also involved in the dam
age suit are claims that the
river dredging has been noisy
and unsightly. thereby impair
ing the normal enjoyment of
the river front estates. Special
punitive damages are sought
because of alledged bad faith"

In its presentation. the firm
said the cars would be made OF

would be powered by foul
100-horsepower electric Traction

which it shows how this raj,
line would be built" said Viii.
liam E. Finley, director oi
the National Capital Planning
Commission.
Samuel w. Madeira, Budc
Co. district sales manager, said
his firm could build the cars
to the specifications of a tran.
sit authority. The proposal, hi
said, was based on information
the firm obtained from the
mass transportation study com.
pleted last summer.
The study recommends foul
rail lines and estimates the cost
of electric-powered trains al
$44 million.
Robert A. Keith, who directed
completion of the study, said
this estimate was based on the
; expected need for about 300
cars.
The Budd Co., a Philadelphia
firm, is the first to make a pro-
posal for building rail cars for
use here. Three other firms in
the United States build simi-

the spending proposal.
The supervisors now are to
begin deliberations on the
budget which, uncut, would

The board traditionally cuts
the budget submitted by County
Executive Carlton c. Massey.
How much the board will slash,
however, is uncertain.
"Self Insurance" Urged
The County Civic Fedora
tion has asked the supervisors
to increase taxes no more than
20 cents. The County Tax
payers Alliance wants to hold
taxes at the present rate, which
the alliance considers too high
anyway.
Among the many suggestions
heard by the supervisors was
a proposal from G. v. Tribbett,
a member of the Taxpayers
Alliance. for a county program
Of self-insurance.
Mr.. Tribbett, who said he
was speaking as an individual,
said such programs were car
ried out in other States and
that the county could save
money by writing its own in
surance.
Supervisor Robert c. Gotten,

ask the board to investigate the

Association OBJECTED TO the size
of the 1924 million budget
which would be the highest
Arlington has ever had.
But the majority Of the
Is organizations represented
strongly defended the spending
program which allots about
$2.4 million in new funds for
operation Of the county gov
ernment' and school system.
Several said they are quite
willing to pay more taxes to
support the budget which would
establish a kindergarten pro-
gram and give teachers and
county government employees
substantial salary raises.
Teacher Pay Question
However, some school patrons
indicated willingness to accept
a basic teacher pay scale OF
$4.50O to $1,000 rather than
the $4,000 to $1,000 scale the
school board seeks.
Speaking for the County
Council of PTAs, which has 49,
900 members, Irving Swartz
vigorously Endorsed the inau-
guration of kindergarten and
teacher pay raises which ac-
count for much of the $1.4 mil
lion increase in the school op-
Grating budget.
He declared Arlington desires
a salary scale which not only
would be competitive with
others in the Metropolitan
Area, but one which would re-
store teachers to their proper
professional status in the COM
munity.
Favoring a proposal to equate
pay of police and firemen with
that offered in the District, he
said the contemporary role of
a police officer makes him in
creasingly concerned with the

Board Member Ralph Kaul
said.
Tax Rate Plans
The combined county gov
ernment and school budget
calls for an increase of SIS
cents IN both the real estate
and personal property tax rate.
Such an increase almost GER
tainly will not be enacted.
County board members have
indicated they intend to OBJ
tain part of the needed addi-
tional revenue by raising busi-
ness privilege taxes.
Since the budgets were
drafted, new sources of reve-
nue. which would reduce neceS-
sity of property tax increases
by about 10 cents have been
discovered.
