$24 Million
Bond Issue
Is Predicted

A $24.3 million bond issue to
meet the needs of Montgomery
County's proposed budget has
been predicted by Councilman
David l.. Cahoon.
Cahoon made his prediction
during talk before the Mont
gomery County League Of
Women Voters at the Motel
Washingtonian.
Exact amount of the issue
will depend on final figures in
the budget, he said.
Cahoon said the issue will be
one of 10 measures to be con-
sidered by the County Council
during Mays legislative SEES
sions.
Other proposals would:
Increase house trailer license
fees froms$2 to So.
Add two members and length.
en- the term of office Of the
county's medical commission.
Include the entire county -
with the exception of Rockville
in the recreation district.
Rockville has its own program.
He also said an amendment
to the county code would allow
cash prizes for benefit horse
shows. Few show committees
have been aware of the ordi-
nance making cash prizes IL
legal.

Rockville
To Sell
Bonds

AT its regular Monday
night meeting the Mayor
and Council of Rockville ap-
proved an ordinance author
iZing the sale of 81, 225, 900
of general improvement bonds.
The issue is a half million dol
lars smaller than last years
bond sale by the City.
City Manager Walter A.
Scheiber said the issue was ito
finance the current years cap
ital program" He also said, ut
does not appear that it will have
any effect on Rockville's 1861 so
tax rate"
The bonds are expected to be
available for public purchase
sometime in June. Councilman
Glen ]. Koepenick commented
during last Monday nights
meeting that "the City will be
going into the bond market at
an advantageous time which
will favorably affect the interest
rate we will have to pay for our
money" Also in the Cityis
favor is the "a" financial rating
accorded Rockville by both
Moody's and Standard and Poor,
two of the nations outstanding
bond rating houses, and the fact
that the City achieved its high
rating before either Montgom-
cry County or Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission.
Proceeds of the issue will be
used for 3S street and sidewalk
projects, three sewer and IA
water installations, and City
Hall and parkIand projects. Dur
ing the past three months the
Mayor and Council have held
full discussion on all of these
items.

OFFICIALS TO SEND their capital
Improvement program to the
County Planning Board for its
recommendations prior to adop-
ton of the program.
Both snafus came to light at
the Planning Boards meeting
last week. In turning down the
Board of Education's applica-
ton for a building permit for
the projected high school in the
Kensington-Wheaton area, the
planners explained the struc-
ture would lie directly in the
right-of-way for a primary res
idential street contained in their
master highway plan for the
area.
School Officials Told
Members of the planning
staff pointed out that school Of
ficials had been told year ago
that the project conflicted with
the master plan,
at appears to me-" said Plan
ming Commissioner Louis A.
Gravelle tina t the School
Board completely disregarded
our plans"
Planning Director Arthur K.
Stellhorn suggested that the
school be moved to the side of
the proposed new street and
added that he would consult
with the School Boards archi-
tects to see if this could be done.
At the same time, the plan
ners instructed their attorney,
B. Houston McCeney, to meet
with the School Boards attor-
ney, Charles Prettyman, in an
attempt to agree on a solution
to the 1mpaSSe.
Unwise Suggestion
Supt. of Schools C. Taylor
Whittier, when apprised by the
planners of the situation. pro-
posed that the street be moved.
But Planning Board Chairman
J. Newton Brewer, jr., doubted
the wisdom of such a step.
There are already three
schools in this area" he declar-
ed. "That means this new street
is essential for traffic circula-
ton. If the street is not contin-
ued in its present location, we
would be severely criticized for
improper planning"
The capital improvement pro-
gram should have been sent to
them, the planners said, in ac-
cordance with provisions of a
1859 mandatory referral law.
They added it was too late
for them to review the budget
now in time to send their rec
concentrations to the County
Council before the county bud
get is adopted. The deadline is
April IS.
In a letter to Harold F. Brei-
myer, president of the School
Board, the planning agency
urged that Gin the future, the
School Board transmit its cap
ital budget at the earliest pos
sible date

No Tax Increase
Seen AS School
Funds Are Cut
Council Approves
SIS Million Cut

Despite the prospect of a
record $50 million county
budget for the fiscal year
beginning July /, Montgom-
erv pronertv owners face
only slight, or even no in
crease at all in their real estate
tax bills.
This encouraging word came
Tuesday from County Manager
Mason A. Butcher after the
County Council slashed SIS
million from the School Boards
fund requests.
At the same time, the county
heads added nearly 100000 to
the county's capital budget and
about 100000 to the operating
budget.
The largest cuts approx
mately $50 million--were made
in school construction, with an
additional 50 million slash from
the School Boards operating
budget.
Council President William r.
Hickey emphasized, however.
that the reductions would not
interfere with the county's edu-
cational program.
1877 Higher Than 1860
He pointed out that even with
the school operating cuts, the
amount approved by the coun.
Gil for running the schools will
be 13 per cent over the current
years figure.
Most Of the construction
money eliminated by the coun-
Gil had been eaT1narked for two
high schools in East Wheaton
and Potomac. The council APP
proved planning money for
these schools, which are SEIZED.
uled to be contracted in July,
1862.
Also Topped off the school
construction proposals were
$4,000 for a gymnasium at
the Montgomery Junior College
and 100000 for a second gym
at Northwood High School.
A $150,000 item for library
books was taken out of the con-
struction budget and placed in
the school operating budget.
Hickey said the council plans
to provide funds for stocking
all school Libraries with min
imum Of five books per student.
the standard set by the Board
of Education.
Money also will be provided
for 80 full.time librarians for
elementary schools. the council
president added.
In acting on other school pro
posals, the council approved
funds for the School Boards
new administrative pay scale;
for 264 more teachers for new
Leland Junior High School.
Street improvements
Approximately 100000 OF
the amount added to the coun-
tvs capital budget will finance
street improvements. These in

Another capital budget add.

merclal kenneF' was, according
to the resolution, mot clear and
precise as to its terms and pur-
pose"
County Attorney AL Clark
presented the resolution and
suggested a public hearing on
all questions concerning pets
after Councilwoman Stella B.
Werner commented:
1--WE are not dropping the
whole business but we're going
to do a better job on it,"
The proposed ordinance had
caused considerable Juror
among the county's animal low
ing population. Under its terms
any home or establishment
with more than three pets
other than fish or fowl and nom
farming-would be considered a
kennel.
The question arose because of
the county's difficulties in prov
ing commercial kennels as actu-
ally commercial.
Clark estimated his office had
received about 900 telephone
calls on the subject. One wom-
an in Bethesda, he said, told him
$4,000 women in Bethesda are in
favor OF the amendment
Such a hearing as that sug-
gested by Clark should, he said,
be held in a large place to ac-
commodate the tremendous
number of persons who appar-
emily are interested.
