Fingerprint Shift Splits
Board in Montgomery

The latest in a series of angry
exchanges between old and new
members Of the Montgomery
County School Board occurred
last night as tempers clashed
over a motion to transfer the
fingerprinting process from the
school personnel department to
the police department.
The controversial motion car
ried by the same 4-3 vote which
has marked most major decis-
ions since the quartet of new
members was elected in Novem-
Der.
The board also split along
the same lines over a proposal
to dispose Of the present Ia
koma Park campus Of the
Montgomery County Junior
College and concentrate the
entire operation at a new Rock
vile campus.
After protests by minority
members over the loss of val
liable technical equipment and
other facilities if Takoma Park
were closed, the board finally
voted unanimously to ask its
own attorney for a legal ruling
on possible jeopardy for State
aid if the Takoma Park site is
eliminated.

Rockville city officials are
considering a budget for the
next fiscal year which pro-
poses spending $73S,000 more

result In a So saving for the

Should the council approve
the recommendation, the tax
cut would be the second in as
many years. The tax rate had

fore the council approved a q
