Dear Editor:
/ have studied the annual Levy
and also the explanation for the Is
cent increase in the tax rate.
have also considered the increase
in the assessable basis as published
for the past four years.
A chart shows where our tax
dollars go by percentage and to
which department [County high
way department, 20 percent; school
board, 81 percent school bond, 3
percent; Legislative, executive, jul
dicial, election, finance, legal coun-
sci, general government, buildings
10 percent; other general govern
ment, public safety, health con-
servation, hospital fund, public
service, corrective, recreation, pub
lie safety, miscellaneous, 81 per-
cent
1t is noted that over the past
year numerous fines have been
suspended which would have in
creased the other estimated in
come"
1t is noted that with the decrease
in revenue the School Board re-
ceived $4,000 salary increases for
teachers, plus 81 cents on the as
sessed value and also cents for
incentive fund, all provided by
state Legislature. The board also
received all of the Natural Gas
fund as provided by the legisla-
ture. Anyone with any knowledge
of gas wells would know they don't
last forever Therefore, the gas
fund should have been given on a
percentage basis. THE division on
gas tax revenue also is set by
statute and the first $4,000 an
nually is used to pay the indebted
ness on the bonds which built the
two high schools.-EditOr' note.
l noted the request for an as
sistant in the health department
was turned down. 1t is the writer's
opinion that the public health of
the county is as important as our
school system.
The inequality of the law as far
as the schools are concerned will
never give Garrett County a chance
to get ahead. l noted the an
nounced need for a new junior
high school, the bond issue of $780,
900 and the digging up of $4,000
for years 1865 and 1866. This will
make another tax hike. Where will
it end?
The highway department has no
guarantee for funds for snow re-
moval, road repair, etc, like the
school system.
There is no incentive for indus
try locating here when there is
no end in sight to future tax in
creases. No matter how much adj
ditional building in the county we
will never rid ourselves of the tax
burden until there is a change in
the inequity of the law. If we can't
afford an assistant sanitarian we
can't afford any new schools.
We may end up with the hest
schools in the country but will be
taxed out of our property to pay
for them and the upkeep.
Thank you,

Editors Note; We can't go for
Mr.. Weinels comparison about the
assistant sanitarian and new
schools, and other comparisons in
his letter. We realize the need for
both health and education but the
comparison seems out of place, as
does his statement on the inequity
of the law

Hope Rises for Preserving

A state senator with a his.

qualification total, with a 40
point maximum coming from
work performance in the past
and evaluation by supervisors,
and a maximum 10 points re-
sulting from length of service.
Because of a number of
varied features constituting
the prOmOtiOnal program,
county personnel authorities
contend it is one of the most
impartial to be found in the
Greater Washington area
or elsewhere.
To begin with, the police su-
perintendent is given the au-
thority to recommend promo
tons only after he has re-
viewed the list of eligibles de-
termined by the tests - and he
is subject to intensive question
ing if he goes beyond those
cited as next in line"
The superintendent recon-
mendations are bmitt e d
to the county manager, who in
turn passes them on to the Per-
sonnet Board and, as a final
step, the boards views are sub
jected to final approval by the
County Council.
AS an initial result of the ex-
animation, policemen are placed
in five categories: Cd outstand-
ing; (2) well qualified, plus;
CD well qualified; (4) quail
fled, plus, and 90 qualified.
Past results indicate about
half of the participants become
qualified for promotion.
From this point on, past
performances and length Of
service are important factors
in ratings issued by superior
officers with whom the can
didates have been most
closely associated.
Well in advance of the ex-
aminations, policemen are ad-
vised Of the source of materials
that should be studied to pre-
pare them for the written
quizzes, officials pointed out.
Most of the data can be OBJ
tanned from police officials and
the remainder is accessible in
libraries.
AS a final precaution against
ersonal favoritism, it was
pointed out, each examination
is graded by three separate en-
ployes of the personnel depart
ment. None is identified by
name, and the final results can
be compiled only when they
are realigned by code numbers.

troversial issues during the Gen.
eral Assembly was the relative
ly quiet approval of House Bill
365, a precedent SCATTERING
measure extending marriage au-
thority to Circuit Court clerks
throughout the state and to their
deputies.
Proposed by Del. Alexander
Stark, of Baltimore, the bill Spe-
officially authorizes the clerks to
perform the rites and provides
for extension of the authority
to deputy clerks designated by
the senior Circuit Court judge
in each county-Judge Thomas
M. Anderson in the case of
Montgomery.
In addition to providing a
solution for couples who, for
various reasons, prefer to be
married in civil rites, the bill
obviously was approved as a
revenue measure. OF the $40
charge set for each ceremony,
eight dollars will be turned
over to the jurisdiction in
which the marriage occurs,
with a mere two dollars going
to the clerk or deputy Officiat-
ing.
The law also gives the senior
Circuit Court judge the author
ity to establish the time and the
place of marriage ceremonies to

Police Job Promotion
Status Aired by Board

Montgomery County Person
mel Board representatives be-
gan an intensive study this
week to let police know just
where they stand as candidates
for job promotions in the next
two years.
Basis of their study is an ex-
animation taken over a three
day period last week by a ma
jority of policemen now on the
force, under which they will
be rated anywhere from "out-
standing" to qualified" if they
are found to be eligible for pro-
motion. Final ratings are ex-
pected by June 1.
Personnel department figures
indicate at least 800 of the 372
officers on the force took the
tests, held both day and night
from Thursday through Satur-
day in the county office build
ing. They ranged from pri-
Yates, hopeful of stepping up to
the rank Of private first class
or better, to captains and ma
jor, who would be considered
for the rating of colonel in the
event Supt. James S. McAuliffe
should step down for any rea-
son.
While no promotional open
ings are available Immediately,
police officials pointed out, an
unpredictable number can be
expected over a two-year period
as the result of designations,
retirement and expansion of
the force. Those who attain
their ratings at this time will
be given prime consideration.
Under the existing personnel
system, the written examina-
lions will account potentially

While the law clearly gives
Judge Anderson sole authority
in the new procedure, he told
The Sentinel he intends to con-
suit with the four other Circuit
Court judges in the county and
Circuit Court Clerk Clayton K.
Watkins before taking any ac-
ton. To be determined are the
number of deputy clerks to be
utilized, if any, and the time
and place or marriage cere-
monies involving county person
mel.
Watkins said he had no COM
ment on the bill because he has
not seen it, and intends to study
it thoroughly when he does. At
this point, he declared, 81
haven't the slightest idea," when
asked if he intends to perform
the ceremonies authorized.
According to Del. John p.
Moore, member of the House
Judiciary Committee that
passed the bill on to the Iegis-
lature for consideration, it
brought virtually no cOntrO-
versy. He said it was strongly
supported by varied religious
organizations.
One minister who supported
the proposal, Moore said, con-
tended that under the existing
law enforced religious mar
riages" have been imposed on
some people who are not truly
religious, with the rites result
ing in a farce"
The discussions, Moore said,
brought out a unified feeling
that the change in the law would
have some effect in encouraging
marriages affecting couples in
volved in illegitimate births.
Participants felt that many of
them, particularly those in the
illiterate category, SHE'D away
from church ceremonies al
though they would be perfectly
willing to be married in civil
rites" the delegate disclosed.

sent on to the legislature after
the judiciary committee made
several minor" changes, with
which the sponsor concurred.

again and again that our greatest
enemy is paganism and this places
a majority of our members as an
easy prey to improper influences.
1t is fact that some of our
tribal council members have taken
upon themselves the role of abso-
lutte authority in their districts, on
certain matters, without first
going totheir elector s for approval
to circulate petitions.

would suggest that the cleo
tors in each district require their
councilmen to be responsible for
reporting to them the facts on all
differences. AS a rule, the Navajo
people do not receive the truth un-
til too late. AS a member OF the
tribe, prefer my people to learn
the facts backing our present con-
troverSy.
1t is we'll known that differences
have arisen due topersonal none
tary reasons. 1t seems to me that
this is the basis for existing con-
flictS.
1t is absurd to ask the Navajo
tribal chairman to resign when in
actuality he was elected by plur-
ality of all responsible Navajos. 1t
would seem more logical and more
rea sonable to ask all to support
the Navajo tribal chairman in his
endeavor to carry out his program.
There isn't one Navajo that can
be accused of actually wanting to
hurt his own people. Let US all find
out the facts and put the responsi-
bility of good government on the
members of our council as we'll as
on our chairman.
1t is our responsibility, as in
dividuals, to see to it that our own
council members bring to US the
absolute facts concerning matters
vital to US. We must be intelligen
enough to know whether problem ms
exist because of personal desire
and or disappointments or wheth
er they are truly tribal problems.
Yours truly,
