has been required of non resi-
dents who Joined the club to
play golf, swim and socialize.
Purchase of a lot in the SUBJ
division of $4,000 and up
homes automatically made the
homeowners club members
with no initiation fee required.
IRIS has now ruled, it has
been learned, that the price
paid for lots in the subdivision
constitutes the club initiation
fee for residents and such
homeowners should pay 20 per
cent of the purchase price Of
their lot.
Some lots have sold for as
much as $1,000. This could
mean some could be required to
pay a tax of $500.
IRIS is also insisting, it was
learned, that the tax could be
collected retroactively. Some of
the lots were purchased 25 or
more years ago. Some lots have
been resold several times and
whereabouts of former owners
is unknown.
Residents are contributing
jointly to a fund now being
used to hire tax lawyers to ex-
plore legal avenues open to
residents.

Fourth Of July
Hazards Sought
In CrackdOwn

County police are making a
check of merchants in an effort
to block the sale of several
harmful types of Fourth of July
display items reported in the
area, Supt. James S. McAuliffe
reported this week.
Despite the ban on fireworks,
the police said, some establish
ments are selling dangerous
sparklers and string-operated
explosives because they are un-
der the impression they are not
in the restricted classification.
The superintendent said pol
ice are looking specifically for
items sold under the trade
names of Party Peppers"
Cracker" and Bravo" but are
also on the lookout for any
other devices considered hazar-
dous.

1904 Budget
Adoption Is
Due Tonight

Rockville's tax rate will be
slashed by Scents for the fis-
cal year beginning July /.
This is 2-cents more than
the 3-cent reduction recon-
mended by City Manager
Walter A. Scheiber in pre-
senting his $3.3 million bud
get to the Mayor and Council
several weeks ago.
The further cut by the Mayor
and Council will reduce the lo-
cal levy to 73-cents per 500 Of
assessed valuation, The current
rate stands at 78-cents.
The Mayor and Council will
meet tonight to wind up discus
sions and are expected to make
formal adoption Of the budget
at this time.
While there was some indica.
ton Monday night during the
budget work session that the
reduction might go beyond s.
cents, Mayor Frank Ecker said,
in final analysis the Scent fig.
ilre will stand.
An item-by.ltem review Of the
budget by the Council and
another look at anticipated rev.
enues, Ecker said, made the
additional twO-cent cut possible.
Savings made in appropriation
requests by the various city de-
partments will be reflected IN
the revised budget after adop-
ton.
Rockville's tax rate, held at
90.cents from 1915 to 1854, fell
to 72-cents in 1859 and has not
been above S0.cents since that
time.
While the exact amount
slashed from the City Man.
ayers proposed budget viii not
be available until next week,
as of Monday night cuts for all
city departments affected were
well under 5000. That figure
may be changed after tonights
meeting.
During recent budget hear
ings, the 3-cent cut proposed by
the city manager was chal-
lenged by two citizens groups,
the Federation of Independent
Votors and Citizens for Good
Government. Spokesman for
both groups called for at least
an additional 2-cents reduction

horses were showing signs of
long campaigning and short ra-

1t was part of Robert E. Lees
invasion of the North. Reports
were already at hand that
large parts Of the Army of
Northern Virginia were in
Pennsylvania. Stuart had fOrded
the Potomac, just below where
Seneca Creek enters the river,
the night before.
After bivouacking on the
banks, doing severe damage to
the C & o Canal, and destroying
numerous supply barges, his
force of three brigades moved
onto River Road shortly after
daybreak.
Stuart dispatched one brigade,
Hampton's, to Rockville, via
Darnestown, the other two NOV
ing down to Offutts', then along
Falls Road into Rockville.
1t was rapid movement, Stu
art realizing the urgency of
joining the Rebel infantry in
Pennsylvania. They were trav-
cling light, only six small pieces
Of artillery and a few ambu-
lance wagons, and a good thing,
as they had been delayed by
running into Joe Hooker's in
fantry, moving north and had
had to take long detours.
The three brigades, about
5000 men in all, met at the
corner of West Montgomery
Avenue (then called Commerce
Lane) and Van Buren.

onistic, gathered as the gener-

Switch Votes
On 3 Zonings

At least three county land
owners seeking rezoning of
their properties-are having a
hard time these days keeping
up with County Council deci-
sions on their requests.
On May % the Council voted
6-1 to authorize the county at
torney to draw up resolutions
approving applications C-916
and C-917 calling for zoning
changes on land at Field and
Branch Roads, Gathers
burg.
One June IL, a resolution in
line with that motion ordering
approval of the two rezonings
was brought up but no one
made motion on its behalf.
Councilmen Jerry Williams
and Mary Hepburn then pro-
posed motions requiring the
county attorney to prepare
resolutions denying them. Both
of these were passed by a 6-1
vote.
The two requested rezonings
were then formally-and finally
= denied by 6-1 votes of the
Council on June 18.
In the third rezoning, applica-
ton C-948 calling for a shopping
center at Cedar Lane and Coles
vile Road, Ednor, won a 6.1
vote on May % calling for pre-
paration of a resolution approv-
ing the request.
The county attorney then
drafted the resolution but on
June 1S after Councilman John
Henry Hiser moved for appro.
val of the resolution, no one
offered a second.
Accordingly, DR.. Thomas M
Wilson proposed drafting of a
resolution denying the shopping
center plea and his suggestion
was approved by 6-1 vote.
The resolution denying the
plea was scheduled to come up
at Tuesdays meeting for a final
vote but no action was taken on
it because the full Council was
not present.
When questioned by a re-
porter on the unusual proceed
ure, Council President John A.
Floyd said he felt the Council
sometimes moved too quickly
on zoning matters.
This brings up something
we should look into further,
he declared.
