Plan Presented
For More Room
AT Southern High
PIT. A. OK's Suggestions
Of Additions To School
BY Supt. Hawkins

A plan to overcome crowded
conditions at Southern High school
by construction of two additions,
was given unanimous approval by
some 17O persons attending a regu
sar meeting of the Parent-Teacher
association, but needed the approx
al of the County Commissioners
before any groundwork on the
plans could be completed
The plan was presented to the
County Commissioners this week
by a small delegation consisting
of County Superintendent Willard
l.. Hawkins, w Dwight Stover,
George Stuck, Maurice Brookhart
and irwin Field. The commissioners
expressed some favor for the plan
but wanted additional time to
study it.
This plan would be used instead
of the plan presented last year
calling for construction of new
junior high school building The
present plan would not need any
action by the General Assembly,
and would not create any addition
al burden on the county with the
exception of payment of interest
on money borrowed for two years.
The plan was presented at the
regular P-TA meeting by Mr..
Hawkins and called for an addi-
ton that would include an extern
sion of the cafeteria, giving more
seating space, an additional hot
plate service line and a small stage.
The extension would parallel the
gymnasium on the north side and
would extend to the end of the
gymnasium.
The plan also called for an adj
ditional wing extension behind the
school also on the north side but
west OF the present SnOp, Wnlcn
would include ten classrooms, two
shops and a girls gymnasium. The
construction cost was estimated at
S425,000 to S450,000.
Mrs. Ann LaWton, president, said
that other possible plans were dis
cussed including the pros and cons
of an area vocational school, and
that there was ample opportunity
to present other suggestions.
MIR. Hawkins said that 1896, 900
was already available through the
State school construction fund,

Commissioners
Pass Resolution
Moving Tax Date
To Coincide With States
Fiscal Year; Two Tax
Bills Next Year

The County Commissioners pass
cd resolution Tuesday which
made official a decision made sew
eral weeks ago to move the tax
able year from January to July, to
coincide with the states fiscal
year
There wasn't anything else the
Commissioners could do, since an
act of the Legislature passed at the
last session made it compulsory to
coincide with the states taxable
year not later than 1865. They felt,
however, since it was mandatory,
that the sooner the change was
effected. the better it would be
for all concerned.
AT present there are twelve
counties that use the calendar
year for their taxable year.
The resolution passed by the
Commissioners officially adopts
the fiscal year, changing the tax
able year, the dates of finality as
established by article 81 of the
Annotated code of Maryland, in
accordance with provisions and in
tent of other articles.
The resolution also provided for
fractional levy, declaring dis
counts, penalties, tax sales and
other provisions for the transition
period.
The next taxing period will be-
gin January /, 1864, and will run
to June 30. After July /, 1864 all
applicable provisions of Chapter
825 of the laws of 1868 of the Gen
eral Assembly of Maryland shall
be in effect.
In order to encourage prompt
payment of taxes in the tranSi-
ton period and within the authori-
zation given the county commits
sioners in providing for the period,
the commissioners will allow five
percent discount in both January
and February and four percent in
March. Unpaid taxes for six
months will begin bearing inter
est May l, at one half percent per
month.
The resolution was made official
with the motion to accept it being
made by II. D. Swartzentruber,
vice-president; and being seconded
by Earl Opel.
Under the resolution the COM
missioners are authorized to estab-
lish rules, procedures and other
provisions with regard to taxation
Beginning July 1, 1864 the fiscal
year for the county shall be July
1st each year to June 80 This
means that the commissioners shall

of June levy upon the taxable prop

There will be two tax bills to
pay next year One will be for the
half year. Then beginning July l,
there will be another years taxes
due and owing. Just how much con-
fusion or hardship this is going to
create is a matter of uncertainty,
but county officials felt the transi-
ton would not be too difficult
Several weeks ago the clerk to
the commissioners, Mrs. Virginia
Fizer, was instructed to send out
letters to officials who are re-
quired to submit budgets for vari-
Gus departments, to make them
for one-half year prior to January,
and to then prepare another for
full year beginning July l.

mentS were generally favorable and
said that he thought that everything
had been covered in his budget re-
quests.
Others had also been doing close
reading of the report, and their COM
ments were carried by the wires.
Then the Governor gave comments
about the comments and the wire
services made comments about each
other.
So let's get some facts straight.
Jack Toole was the prime mover in
getting the conditions aired at the
Boulder Training School, in his re-
leases to the wire services last fall.
While the Governor had included
about half a million in the budget to
try to correct very bad situation
which has been building up through
the years waiting lists growing long
err and the staffs growing more in
adequate in facilities which were i'm
properly conceived in the first place
the half million would not strike
at the heart of the matter. New chick
en- coops and dairy barns were called
for at Boulder. Also needed was a
new dormitory and food center. Pres
emily the food is prepared in the base
ment of one old building and wheeled
in pots to the wards where it arrives
cold.
Salaries were definitely too low.
DR.. Freeman is the only psychiatrist
at Warm Springs State Hospital who
is approved by the Medical Board of
Examiners. The ten other "psychia-
trists" were trained in Europe and
probably when they have their five
years in the States put in they will
their talents to lucrative pri-
vate practice.
The trouble is that time passes all
too quickly and the reports are for
gotten about almost before anything
can be done about them.
Rieder's committee has discharged its
duty and the Legislature may or may
not provide the funds to do the job
right. The point is that perhaps they
should not be discharged of their
luty and should be required to con-
,inue Investigations of the custodial
Institutions and make reports to the
Governor, press and public when their
findings warrant an alarm.
| do not mean that the institutions
are not cooperating
With the associations which are con-
erned with the specific problems.
Gather the problems are of such gen.
raj concern that authoritative re-
orts NOT from within the admins

ure, which finds life only for sixty
avs every other year.
While this is true of the custodial
Institutions it is even more true that
he other investigating committees
ighways and purchasing practices
hould not be allowed to completely
ischarge their responsibilities to the
hate and the people who elected them
t or before the end of the session.
The Legislative Council has been
oying with the idea that there should
e another group to make post audits
everything. But who can care once
he money is spent?
Instead of just this one other group
ontinuing, besides the Legislative
ouncil, to make the laws and money
