Montgomery County Council
members tonight are expected
to wind up 1901 budget de-
liberations with a vote on pro-
posals to increase the county's
real estate tax rate by as much
as 5 cents.
Prior to a tax-rate vote, how
ever, the council will hold a
final public hearing at 7:3Opm.
on budget increases indorsed
during the past week.
In a series of quick actions
yesterday, the council COM
pleted the restoration Of almost
all Of the $8.7 million slashed
from the school boards capital
and operating budgets by for
mer County Manager M. L.
Reese.
Mr.. Reese, who quit his
$25.000-a-year county post last
month to accept appointment
as city manager of Miami, Fla,
had severely trimmed the school
boards fiscal request. From the
boards $l9.9 million capital
construction program he cut
S8.2 million-a move designed
to defer budget ALLEGATIONS for
f1ve new schools. And he
Topped over $500,o00 from the
boards $685. million operating
fund request.
At SS4.3 Million
Possible increases in the
county's present basic tax rate
Of $2.48 per 500 of assessed
valuation stemmed from two
sources: Council-approved in
creases in the operations bud
get totaling $165.000 and a
proposal by Councilman David
l.. Cahoon that 4 cents be
added to the tax rate to bolster
school board pay-as-you-go
construction funds.
With all deletions. deductions
and adjustments Tailed, the
overall budget-including school
funds and county government
appropriations-stood at $84.8
million.
In preliminary action Sunday
and yesterday, the council put
back about $7.5 million Of the
$8.2 million cut by Mr.. Reese
from the school construction
budget. In addition, the council
voted to allocate $3.50 900 to the
boards advance land acquisi-
ton fund-$650, 900 more than
school authorities originally re-
uuested.
Allowing for other adjust
ments, the capital budget for
schools yesterday stood at $19.2I
million. about $4,000 less than
the original board request.
The council also restored
$4,000 trimmed by Mr.. Reese
from the $685. million school
operating request. Among items
restored was $4,000 to place
SO teachers on a 12-month
salary schedule. The school
board had proposed using the
teachers for an expanded pro-
gram of curriculm workshops,
In-service training and instruc-
ton during summer months.
