Analysis-In-Depth
Cipic Council Spokesman
Hits Winters Plan

The 31a-hour-long County Council hearing on
the School Board budget this week was not without
its lighter moments.
At point in the evening when many of the mo
CUTS advocates had left, ate-stayers were rewarded
with an analysis-n-depth of the bureaucracy" ap-
parent to the Bethesda-C Chevy Chase Civic Council in
Dr. c. Taylor Winters reorganization plan for the
school system.
Here are few excerpts from the analysis, pre-
scented by Milton M Burke civic council president,
which stirred many listeners to laughter and applause:
"The Board of Education expressed some dsen-
chantment with the proposed reorganization plan by
deleng the three District Directors for Adminstra-
ton which were basic to the plan.
However, the Board left intact other major or
ganizational changes including the employment Of
three assistant superintendens, each to be pro-
vded with miscellany of directors, sub-directors,
supervisors and coordinators.
Masterpiece of Bureaucracy
''In our considered opinion this proposed interim
reorganization plan is masterpiece of bureaucracy.
-Four Assistant Superintendent would administer
thrtyfive Directors who, in turn, would each exercise
individual administrative authority over principals
and teachers.
Examining the Office of Superintendent of Pupil
Services, just of several offices subsidiary to the
Directorate of Institutional Services we find:

ent $3.50 fee for male and
spayed female dogs, and an
equal increase in the present
charge of $3.50 for unspayed
females.
To discourage dog owners
from permitting their pets to
become "repeaters" at the city's
animal shelter, the standard IS
redemption fee will be upped
to $40 if a dog is impounded
more than once during a year.
The new ordinance would
also expand the powers of the
city's Animal Control Board to
permit it to impose such
reasonable restrictions and
safety precautions" as if they
feel necessary.
Penalty for sustained refusal
to comply with the ordinance
would be set at a maximum of
500 fine and/or up to 30 days
in jail.
If adopted by the City Coun-
Gil next week the measure
would take effect May 1.

eminent expenditure and a pro.
gram of scientific cost analy-
sis.
Also on the financial plank of
their platform, the candidates
said they would seek to broaden
the conty's tax base by encour-
aging scientific-type industry;
revise the farmland assessment
law and obtain more State funds
for schools through change in
the equalization formula.
The farmland assessment law
provides for lower assessments
on farms to encourage the re-
tention of open space. The plat
form claims spectators have
used the measure to keep down
taxes on land which they do
not intend to preserve as open
space.
Accordingly, the platform
promises to recapture the taxes
on such properties if farming
is ceased and the land is de-
veloped for housing purposes.
Planning Policies
With regard to planning, the
candidates want to- strengthen
the County Councils authority
to set planning policies; speed
up the preparation of master

had a mixed reception from
local cab drivers at a hearing
before the County Council this
week.
Advocates of the fare raise
pointed out it would make the
county rate conform with those
in other local suburban areas,
and compensate drivers for in.
creased operating costs.

Speaking for a group of cab

attorney Robert Tobin cited in

new cabs and gasoline in recent
years.
Individual operators appear

fares should keep pace with in
creased costs of living, and esti-
mated that the proposed boost
would mean a substantial In.
crease in daily income for cab
drivers.
Other operators, however,
said their firms have lost consid-
cradle business recently to both
airport limousine services and
public transit buses.

arguments under advisement.

Hefty Tackle

BY ROBERT SOMMERS

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 23.--By
April 7 when spring football
practice ends, Wayne Hardin,
the Navy coach, hopes to have
picked his II best players so
that he can scrap the three
platoon system.
Judging from his talk before
newsmen here yesterday, he
has 10 more to select. He left
no doubt that Ron Tesla, the
agile tackle whose two forays
into the Army backfield last
fall cemented Navy's third
straight win over the Cadets,
is a certain choice.
"Testa," Hardin claims, could
be one of the outstanding line
men in the country next season.
He has confidence, experience
everything it takes to become
an All-American.
