for civil defense shelters, an
other item awaiting a council
decision.
More than $l.2 million was
cut by Mr.. Butcher from de-
partmental requests which had
included money for 80 police
men; 100000 for public works
and $l51,00 each for health
and for liquor control. ~.
The only departmental de-
creases below the current bud
get recommended by the
county manager are in build
ings and grounds and in public
safety. All others are in
creased.
Among items deleted from
the budget which are included
in the 1962-1963 spending pro-
gram included money for
membership in the Metropol-
itan Council of Governments,
which the council has voted
to drop, and for a highway
needs survey, a study taken
over by the State.
100000 Freed
The possibility Of a scent
general tax cut stems from
100000 in revenue set free
when the law governing motor
vehicle license fee distribution
was replaced last year. 1t
said that the fees should be
given in the same proportion
as the general taxes, which
was mostly to schools.
If the council chooses to spend
the 100000 for government
instead, it could mean the s.
cent tax cut.
Among major capital spend
ing items Mr.. Butcher is asking
for are $275.OO0 for a commm-
nifty library in White Oak,
$4,000 for plans and study for
expansion of the County Office
Building in Rockville and $751;
500 in public works facilities
improvements.
Road construction projects
include completion of Seven
Locks road between Montrose
and River roads; Improvement
of Bells Mill road from Seven
Locks to Falls road; improve
ment of Arlington road from
Bradley boulevard to Little
Falls parkway and Wall lane
from Rockville pike to Old
Georgetown road.
The council will begin budget
discussions next week with de-
partment heads. Public hear
ings on the county budget are
scheduled for March rs and 81

council. The total Is 500 mil
lion less than the current $l07.8
million spending program.
Apparently rejecting the
-in-spending image of
the council majority, Mr..
Mason's budget shows sharp
cuts in capital OUTLAWS.
1t calls for total operating
expenditures of $32.5 million,
more than 50 million above
this year. However, capital
spending was cut $8.8 million,
down to 50 million.
This can be financed with a
26-cent general county tax, S
cents less than the current one,
Mr.. Mason told the council last
night. But he added that to
cut the general tax 5 cents
would mean an additional S
cents on the school tax.
More Employees Asked
In addition to the 26-cent
general tax, he said the budget
can be financed with a l0-cent
suburban district tax and a A.
cent recreation district tax. A
2-cent increase in the school
debt service tax will be neces-
Sary. he said.
Because of a new budget
formal recommended by the
county's fiscal consultant, John
F. Briggs, itemized' personnel
requests were not included.
However, Mr.. Mason said he is
asking for more than 20 new
county employees, including six
police officers, more than six
civilian radio dispatchers, two
jailers and another fire inspec-
tor.
Salary raises are in sight for
some county employees under Mr..
Mason's budget. He is asking
for $3.50 900 "for a possible pay
raise" but not an across-the-
board increase, he said. The
last general raise was in 1860,
Capital spending for roads
was cut from this years $3.2
million figure to a recon-
mended $l8 million.
But the major drop in CAPT.
tai spending resulted from thu

To Gas Users
Latest Refund
Averages $2.35
For This Month
BY DAN GOTTLIEB
Star Staff Writer

Washington area gas custom
ers will start receiving the bene-
fit Of an additional $2.9 million
annual refund on their bills
this month.
Added to the $3.8 million an
nual refund begun last october,
this will bring the total reduce
ton in bills to $6.7 million for
the period october, 1862
through February, 1864, Chair
man James A. Washington, jr.,
of the District Public Utilities
Commission said.
The total effect of the two
refunds for the average home
heating customer in March
will be a reduction of about
$2.35, a spokesman for the
Washington Gas Light Co. said.
In August, when gas consump-
ton is lower, the saving will
only be about IS cents, he said.
Stems from FPC
The refunds are the result of
monies returned from the COM
pany's natural gas supplier,
Atlantic Seaboard Corp. under
the terms Of a partial settle
ment of rate cases before the
Federal Power Commission.
Mr.. Washington, whose COM
mission ARRANGED the terms Of
the refund to the local COM
pany's approximately 414.000
customers. said that the $6.7
million includes about $1.1 mil
lion of interest. Prior to the
refund which began last Oc-
tober, he noted, the PUG had
allowed the gas company to
keep the interest portion of re-
funds 1t received from the sup
plier.
Further Agreement
This interest was to be used
to offset gross-receipts take;
| the COMPANY had to pay,
In addition to the interes
on the supplier's refund, thu
PUG also got the company II
agree, in effect, to pay the
customers 5 per cent on all the
money returned from the sup
plier. principal and interest
while it is held by the COM
pany.
The reason for this, Mr.
Washington said, is that the
company is being allowed to
pay out each Of the two re-
funds over a 12-month period
1t can, therefore, deposit the
unspent balance of the refunds
where it will earn interest for
the company.
The refund to each customer
is based on the amount of gas
used during the months the re-
fund is in effect.

Pretty Baby is a cross-eyed
mongrel cat living inside a
women's ward behind the high
brick walls that surround st.
Elizabeths Hospital. She is the
pet Of an elderly spinster who
has been a patient there for
many years.
This plain, portly mouser with
the crossed green eyes was born
here on Valentines Day in 1861
with a brother whose rear legs
were paralyzed at birth. For
some reason, you don't hear
the sad-looking tabby meow
very often except when she
doesn't get her fish on Friday
Pretty Baby might not be
worth much money. Her real
value is her therapeutic effect
on some Of the mental patients
who have withdrawn them
selves from the world. They
begin petting the cat, feeding
it and then talking to it. More
important, communication with
humans often follows.
This function alone should
make Pretty Baby the most
valuable feline in the National
Championship Cat Show at the

Finds Mail
Con Be Dangerous
By JOHN McKELwAY

Some time ago a postal
employe was standing near
one Of the Post office De-
partment's newfangled ma
chimes and watching it sort
mail at a clip of $4,000 let
tiers an hour.
Along came a letter, an
entry in a contest from some
wholesome housewife who
had hoped to win thousands
of dollars by completing the
last line of a jingle about
frozen orange juice.
Following the rules of the
game she had inclosed the
top Of a can Of orange juice
in the envelope because the
contest required proof Of
purchase.
"Schwackle!" went the
machine, refusing to sort the
letter, breaking several ex-
pensive small parts in it
self and grinding up a
letter to mother that was
unfortunately Immediately
behind.
Also, in that same instant,
the top of the can Of orange
juice was propelled into the
face of the postal employee
just below the left eye. Three
stitches were taken.
Reports Of similar acci-
dents came into the Post
Office here from through
out the country. The amaz-
ing machines were also
having difficulty in han
ding bottle caps that were
mailed in another contest
and, Of all things, screws.
The screws had started to
turn up in the mails after
an envelope manufacturer
spread the word his en-
velopes were just as good as
an old cardboard box to
mail screws in.
Just as dangerous was an
other contest-one which
required contestants to send
along the metal strip and
key used to open a can of
coffee.
