County Weighs
Snow Crises

The Montgomery County
Council yesterday discussed
steps to cope with snow emer-
gencies in the future.
Joseph c. Kordella, Public
Works director. told the group
that education of the public on
how to handle cars in such
situations was as important as
legislation. He said that if
people equipped their cars with
a bucket of sand, a shovel ana
chains. they would have very
little trouble.
He suggested that motorists
should be required to park on
one side of residential streets
on specified days after snow
storms to allow blowing of the
streets. Flowing is difficult
when cars are parked on both
sides, he said.
The county is considering
proposal to ban cars without
snow tires or chains and the
abandoning of cars on major
thoroughfares.

Urged for State

the Federal tax is.
Delegates Carlton R. Sickles,

bill to install the graduated
tax in place of the present levy
of a flat 5 per cent on invest

School Supt. William S.

native to a higher scale re-

crease is anticipated in the
present enrolment of $685..
Compared to what teachers
requested. Mr.. Schmidt said
his pay plan more evenly dis
tributes annual increases, con-
tains lower maximums,
Mr.. Schmidt's basic pay scale
for bachelor degree teachers
keeps the present $4,000 start
ing salary, but increases the
maximum in Is steps from
$1,000 to $1,000. Teachers next
fall would get increases from
5000 to $500.
Teachers asked for a scale of
$4,500-$7 500 in 13 steps, giving
increases next fall of 5000 to
$1,000. Once adopted, each
proposal would give annual
increases Of 5000 and $500
although the superintendent's
scale starts $500 raises earlier.
The budget asks for 29 ad-
ditional school buses to raise
the fleet to 229. The admins
