Il Council
Bills Are
Unopposed

The first II bills proposed
by the Montgomery Council
during its May legislative
session breezed through a
public hearing Tuesday with
out so much as a word of
opposition.
Included among them were
four proposals by President
John A. Floyd changing the job
status of several top county
officials, one viewed as highly
controversial by some political
observers.
Under the Floyd revision
plan, the director of personnel,
the director of economic devel.
opment and public information
and the clerk to the County
Council would be removed from
the merit system and classified
as department heads, subject to
discharge by the County Man
ager at any time without the
right to appeal.
At the same time, the director
of inspections and licenses
would be placed under the merit
system as a subordinate to the
Director of Public Safety, who
could be removed by the man
ager.
Merit system employees, after
completing an 18-month proba.
tionary period, can be removed
only for a specific cause and
then have the right to appeal to
the Personnel Board - a privi-
lege denied department heads.
While critics of the Floyd
plan conceded that politically
controlled council might be
justified in hiring a clerk and a
director of economic develop.
ment and public information
who could be removed at any
time, they insisted the director
of personnel should be com,
pletely free of political influ
ence. None, however, gave voice
to their stand at the public
hearing.
One of them, a noncontrover
sial measure, was approved fol
lowing the hearing. 1t provides
for an increase in the Hyatts
town tax rate from five to IL
cents on the 500 assessed valu
alton of zealand personal prop
erty.
Other bills which failed &c
draw opposition during the
Tuesday hearing included the
following:
