Since the School Board has

Tax Increase for Rockville Out; Cut Seen
New Funds
Kill Need
For5s Hike

Hopes for a tax cut for
Rockville residents mounted
this week as the Mayor and
City Council devoted nightly
work sessions to pairing city
budget proposals.
A $4,000 windfal in state
revenues last week virtually
eliminated the city's earlier-an-
nounced need for a five-cent
rise in the tax rate of 80 cents
per 500 of assessed property
value which the city has main
tanned for two years.
Heartened by news from
State Comptroller Louis Gold
stein that the state had under
estimated Rockville's portion of
state-shared income tax revenue
for this year by $21 900 - with
an additional $4,000 more ex-
pected in its income tax share
for 1929 city officials were
confident that Eat the very
least" they could keep the new
tax rate at 80 cents for the
third straight year.
Since each penny In taxes
from property owners H.
nances about $1,000 Of city ex-
pendituTes, less than q cent
remained Of the tax rise of
five cents which had been
anticipated before the states
announcement.
There certainly appears to
be very little reason to doubt
we can hold the 80-cent rate"
said City Manager Walter
Scheiber before the mayor and
council went into their budget
pairing sessions.
AS the budget work sessions
progressed Tuesday and We'd
nesday nights, prospects for .
tax cut increased.
A public hearing on the 1862

out numerous possibilities for
economizing ON proposed ex-
penditures.
