you to keep faith with the vot-
ers and to amend your bill 391
to help preserve open, spaces.
Issues so vitality affecting the
future of our County should
be brought out into the open at
public hearings on amendments
before the Senate votes on this
bill. For this reason we wired
Senator Northrop and yourself
urgently requesting public hear
ings before his Senate commit
tee and before the Montgomery
County Delegation.
The Citizens Committee for
Fair Taxation urges amend
ments to provide that land in
Montgomery County will only
get reduced assessments below
full value if the development
rights are conveyed to a public
agency. Country clubs, golf
courses, community swimming
pools, and other appropriate
open land uses should be given
the same opportunity to have
their taxes reduced If they
agree to keep their lands in
open use. If the representa-
tives of other counties should
desire different provisions for
their counties, the bill should be
amended to apply at least to
Montgomery County. 1t often
has been the practice in Mary
land to enact different provi-
sions for different counties, for
example, the assessment of bust
ness inventories is made on a
different basis in different coun-
ties.
Montgomery County then Will
be able to undertake a program
for the permanent preservation
of open spaces by acquiring de-
velopment rights and buying adj
ditional park lands with the tax
money we will recover from the
landowners who are unwilling
to sell development rights, and
who will again pay taxes on the
full value of their property just
as all the rest of us are required
to do,
Yours for better Montgom-
cry County with more green,

on the Census of Agriculture

THIRD. Far from helping
preserve open sapces, your bill
as it now is written, will actual

ly prevent us from preserving
open spaces by multiplying last
years law authorizing the coun-
ty to buy the development
rights for land. That is a good
law, but it will become practi-
cally a dead letter if your House
Bill No. 391 is passed.
You gave the reason in last
weeks column. In your own
words: mo county government,
no matter how much it may
want to preserve open spaces,
has the money to buy the de-
velopment rights of more than
a tiny fraction of the hundreds
of square miles of farm land
within its boundaries" The
county probably couldn't afford
to buy the development rights
for more than a few hundred
acres a year. At that rate, be-
fore long, the whole county will
be covered with urbran sprawl
and we shall see very few green,
open spaces permanently pre-
served for our enjoyment and
that of our children.
Therefore, the County needs
to get landowners to donate
development rights or to sell
them at moderate prices. How?
BY offering the landowner a
tax reduction in exchange for
agreement not to develop his
land. Farmers who really want
to keep on farming would be
glad to make this exchange.
Country clubs, golf courses,
community swimming pools,
and other holders of open land
might do the same thing.
But your Bill 391 would take
away the incentive for land
owners to make such agree.

Dear Blair:

Dear Blair:
1t is gratifying to note in
your column on land taxation
last week that you recognize
some of the abuses that have
arisen under your Farm Land
Assessment Acts. However, the
amendment proposed by you to
Senator Northrop goes only a
little ways toward cutting down
on the present million dollar
tax give-away to large land
owners, and does nothing at all
to help preserve "open spaces"
in the County. In fact, it will
eliminate the very tax benefit
which you have claimed would
preserve "open spaces" in the
close-in areas where we need
open spaces the most.
The people of this County
want to preserve for themselves
and for their children some of
our green countryside now
rapidly being swallowed by
urban development. 1t was ito
preserve open spaces" that we
passed Questions 10 and IA on
constitutional amendments at
the last election.
Your Farm Land Assessment
Act, House Bill 391, now pend
ing in the Senate, will continue
to cost us a million dollars a
year in taxes and actually will
work against preserving open
spaces. 1t needs amendment
for three good reasons:
