bills which would extend Public
Laws 874 and 815 for an additional &"
two years. The S e laws provide
Federal payment to areas where

The introduction of these meas

Ten races will be staged April

which there are 18, win be in

admission (plus 81 for parking)
can walk to the viewing area.
Children under 16 will be ad-

The first race, starting at
1890 pm, will be children's
flat race, followed by two more
children's races. Early entries
total about 20 for these races.

A lot of people watch
wrestling on television. Some
enjoy it for what it is-a
show. However, the authors
of the Secondary Physical
Education Course of Study
do not look upon wrestling
as a show. Read this:
Wrestling has developed
as a sport in every known
civilization. Many clviliza-
tiOns, such as the classic
Greek, reached their peak,
their highest degree Of viril-
ity, simultaneously as they
developed wrestling most
fully as a sport. No one
familiar with wrestling will
be surprised by this. Wrestl-

Actually, the Finance Com

the consent of the entire Mont

virtually all other interested
parties.
Rejection of all the amend
ments was spanked by Harold
Knapp of Clarksburg, an
Atomic Energy Commission
official, who had devoted a
great deal of time and thought
to the problem of open spaces.
Harold felt that adoption of
any of the amendments might
be construed as adoption of a
permanent policy-and that
adoption of a permanent policy
should not come until after
(a) approval of a coherent
planning and zoning policy for
the upper county and (b) clar-

ment.
2. A new item of $150,000
for the purchase of land in the
Patuxent Valley. This can be
used either for the State Park
in the upper valley or on a
matching basis with the coun-
ty governments under the
Machen Act elsewhere in the

Montgomery County sentinel., 1961-04-06

Montgomery County ought
to be able to balance its
budget for the coming fiscal
year without raising the prop
erty tax rate, thanks to the
increased State assistance and
local taxing powers approved
at the session of the General
Assembly that adjourned last
Saturday night.
Here is what the scoreboard
shows:
1. The James Committee
program of aid to the counties,
as amended and slightly in
creased, will yield an estimat-
ed $T75,000 to Montgomery
County.
2. The uniform statewide
cigarette tax of six cents per
pack, with half of the revenue
to be handed back to the coun-
ties and divided among them
in proportion to their respec-
tive populations, will bring us
an estimated $698,0OO.
These two main items add
up to $I,473,OOO, which is
equivalent to what. would be
produced by a county tax of
about III cents per hundred
dollars of assessed value.
In addition, there are num-
Der of smaller benefits (junior
college operation, library en-
ployee retirement costs, local
public health program, etc.
that should add up to at least
another penny on the local
rate.
Then there is the enabling
act for 10 transfer tax on
the conveyance of real estate,
which, if used to its maximum
limit, would produce new reve-
nue. estimated in the vicinity
of $1,500,000. Personally,
hope the County Council will
not have to tap this source for
the coming fiscal year.
In any event, the financial
prospects at Rockville are
brighter than they were sew.
eral weeks ago, when County
i Manager Mason Butcher pre-
pared his budget on a prudent
assumption of no additional
State aid and no new cigarette
tax money.
The cigarette tax represents
quite bonanza for Montgom-
cry County. Since we already
pay State tax of three cents
and local tax of two cents
per pack, the new uniform
rate will bring only a one-cent-
per-pack increase to Montgom-
cry County smokers. Yet it
will produce almost 100000
in new revenue for our county.
while our present local two
cent tax produces only about
$450,000. How come?
The answer, of course, is
found in the formula for dis
tribution. The present two
cent local tax is strictly local
and is based on cigarettes ac-
tually sold in Montgomery
County. If you buy your ciga-
rettes in Washington, you are
helping to educate the children
of the District of Columbia
rather than your own.
After July l, the local share
of the uniform State tax will
be distributed in proportion to

Bids Advertised For
 Propulsion and Joiner Systems for Ferry Ships

JUNEAU LR - The State De- partment of Public Works today advertised for bids on the pro- pulsion and joiner systems for the three ships to be used in the Southeast Alaska Ferry system.
 Each of the three propulsion systems will include two diesel engines with 5000 shaft horse power each.
 The joiner system includes fac tory constructed cabins and fur nishings for both passenger and crew quarters. Included are such items as door panels, window frames, berths and toilets.
 Dan Baxter, administrative as- sistant to Public Works Commis- sioner Richard A. Downing, said the bids for the three southeast ferries themselves will probably be advertised within the next week or 10 days.
