The names of three prom
inent up-county residents, all
long active in planning, were
recommended to the County
Council this week in its con-
sideration of a possible sue
cessor to Planning Board

Offering the Council choice
of its three recommendations
was the Montgomery County

which urged the county heads
not to limit (their) field of
choice to those to make formal
application for Kings job.
The citizens group said it be-
lieved any of its three nominees
would serve if appointed. They

In Budget Message
Town Needs
Manager,
Duvall Says

GAITHERSBURG - Hir-
ing of this community's first
town manager and first
town bailiff is proposed in
Mayor Merton Duvall's
1928 budget given to the
Town Council Monday night.
Duvall told the Council the
towns present tax rate of so
cents would support his pro-
posed expenditures of $125,171
for the coming fiscal year with
out the necessity of a tax in
crease.
Biggest single item in the
budget request is $4,000 which
Duvall said is needed for road,
street, sidewalk and curb and
gutter work. Both Summit
and Diamond ayes. need major
improvements, he said.
As Gaithersburg grows,
Mayor DuvaII said, the ad-
ministrative load becomes
heavier and a full-time town
manager Is now needed.
He budgeted an item of $500
for hiring of such manager,
possibly around the first of
next year, and said he hoped a
young, professional municipal
administrator earning som e.
where between $500 and $4,000
could be hired, after careful
screening.
This town is going to
grow II people will let IT,"
Mayor Duvail said, "and we
have now reached the point
where town affairs need
more direction and attention
than we are able to give IL
in our spare. time"
An item Of $500 was budg.
eted by Duvall for a town
bailiff.

said, but there are times when
we need police protection and

Rockville Budget
Asks SC Tax Hike
Approval
Would Bring
Rise of So

"A llVe-cent increase In the
Rockville tax rate has been
recommended to the CITY
Council by City Manager
Walter A. Scheiber.
The development follows
recent enactment of 37-cent
county tax rate hike, which
Rockvillians also must pay,
and a proposal by the Rock
vile Volunteer Fire Depart
ment that a new 1O-cent
fire tax be enacted. The
fire tax proposal was UNI
opposed at a recent public
hearing and is expected to
win approval soon.
II the scheiber proposal is
approved by City Council it
would mean a Scent tax in
crease on all property in the
city for the next fiscal year as
a result of the three-way
squeeze.
Biggest single increase in
Scheiber's proposed budget is
an item for payment of interest
rates on money borrowed in re-
cent years for major building
projects.
"The city manager Is cog
infant of the fact that Rock.
vile taxpayers are faced with
an increase OF 81 cents In
county taxes In the coming
year. as well as a new fire
tax Of up to 10 CENTS" Schei-
Der said in his budget mes
sage.
However" he added, Il see
no alternative to an increase in
the municipal tax rate Il the
city's taxpayers are to continue
to enjoy services Of the same
quality they have received in
the past few years"
Scheiber also fastened TO add
In his message that his pro-
posal to increase the city tax
rate from 80 to IS cents per
800 valuation would still leave
the tax rate "at less than the
90-cent rate In effect in the
city from 1947 to 1854"
The owner Of an average
Rockville home. with an ac-
tuaI value of $4,000, will pay
city taxes next year of $63.07,
Scheiber said. This compares
with a 1854 tax on the same
house Of $66.78, he added.
Actual dollar and cents in
crease of next years city tax
bill over the current years -
on the same $4,000 home -
win be S3.71, If his Scent tax
hike request Is approved, Schel-
Der said.
A public hearing will be held
on the budget in City Hall
June -.
"Over the past few years"
Scheiber told the City Council,
Rockville residents have had
much to be proud of in their
city government. The respon-
siveness of the government is
attested 10 by two All.America
City awards. Service levels
have been maintained or in
creased in all categories Of
municipal activities" He added:

Hall and Civic Auditorium have
been built or acquired"

(AP Abraham Ribicoff, who

but he trailed the rest of the
State Democratic ticket.
He defeated six-term Repub-

The count left no doubt that
Mr.. Ribicoff had lost much of
the popularity that won him a

246, 900.
Democratic Gov. John N.

in his first race for a four

chief executive. He defeated
Republican John Alsop by an
impressive plurality of more

six congressional seats-a gain
of one. Republicans retained a
