group formed to solicit petit
ton. Ten thousand signatures
are needed to put the issue
on the November, 1862 ballot.
While indorsing charter gov
eminent per Sc, Mr.. Lillard
said he agrees "in general"
with the governmental struc-
ture mapped by the federation
report-an elected county ex-
ecutive and council, plus a
hired administrator.
Considers Changes
But I'd like to see a few
more changes, such as an
elected school board and a
separate coming board" Mr..
Lillard said.
The seven-member school
board, with a required minority
party representation, is ap-
pointed by the governor from
candidates recommended by
each party. All coming cases
are settled by the commits
Sioners themselves.
| Mr.. Mulligan said the refer
endum petitions again would be
circulated by a citizens group,
perhaps one organized within
the federation.
But we want to wait until
after the full federation has
voted on the report, probably
in November. All members
should have ample time to
study it, and there is a problem
| in getting enough copies
printed" he added.
Mr.. Callow charged the study
committee with using mislead-
ing tactics by comparing Prince
Georges budget and investment
| income with that of Montgom-
cry and Baltimore Counties.
Montgomery earned .43 per
cent of it's operating budget
through investments and Balti-
more County ga per cent. while
Prince Georges earned only .16
per cent, according to the re-
port.
THE Prince Georges budget
figure includes S18.5 million in
State and Federal aid which
we cannot invest, while this
help is not included in the
MONTGOMERY and Baltimore
budget figures" Mr.. Callow
said.
Baltimore also gives a 2
per cent reduction In real
estate taxes to residents paying
within a month after receiving
bills, and this rebate is made
up in Refreshments added to
the investment income total"
he added.
Montgomery has more bond
sale receipts to reinvest while
Prince Georges must keep an
ample three months supply of
ready cash on hand due to the
90-day rule" he added.

squabbles plus the 165, 900 popu-
lation increase in Primo e
Georges County in the last 10
years are being counted on to
win charter government for the
county.
The prediction came yeSter-
day from Walter F.. Mulligan,
president of the Prince Georges
Civic Federation. A study COM
mittee of the federation urged
a charter to replace the CEN
tury- old county commissioner
system.
Meanwhile, Charles E. CAL
low. county treasurer, said the
reports criticism of county in
vestment policies is IAN out
rage, inaccurate, full of half
truths and constitutes a sub
versiye document"
He agreed, however, with a
recommendation to remove a
restriction on investment OF
funds not needed for 80 days or
more.
Regarding the outlook for q
charter, Mr.. Mulligan said:
I'VE have an entirely differ
ent climate and atmosphere to-
day than we had in 1852, and
think we can win"
Early Referendum Lost
Nine years ago voters de-
feated a charter referendum
placed on the ballot by sigma
lures obtained by the Citizens
Committee for Good Govern
ment, on which Mr.. Mulligan
played major role.
Il think people will have had
enough of the Democrats by the
time they see the primary fights

material candidates David Hume

Mulligan said.
There are many more seri-
Gus thinking people here now
who do not like the way the
Government has handled prob

building, drainage, coming,
schools, and septic tanks" Mr..
Mulligan said.
Neither party took an Of

they were fighting u.s." he
added.
Now the Republicans are
with the charterites," he said.

Mr.. Berry continued:
Not only are violations of

answer. Rigid law enforcement

prevent our city from becoming

said.
Meanwhile, police raids at
several night clubs resulted in
