ragy MARREDPROGRESS SHOWN N COUNTY Prince Georges Tax Rate Lowered on Account of | Increased Valuations. Special Dispatch to The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Janu-| ary 1.—Marked progress along many | lines characterized 1 in Prince | Georges County. | With the county's assessable basls reaching’ $390,503,313, the tax rate wgs reduced from $1.59 on each $100 of real and personal property to $1.45. For schools $350,000 was levied, in cluding practically $200,000 for addi- tional salaries for teachers, the result of which has been that the turn-over in teacher personnel has declined sharply and that the county school system has_functioned with unusual efficlency. For roads, $106,658.94 was appropriated. Among other projects, work was started on permanent im- provements of the River Road from near Bladensburg to Kenilworth, com- pletion of which will mean a much more direct connection between the northern and southern sections of the county. Court Changes Sought. Movements were started for estab- Iishment of a county police court or courts, for a county police force and for improvement in almshouse con- ditions. A new $60,000 two-story ad- dition was built to the county court- house. Many new bus lines were opened to various sections. The county was awarded first prize for Laving county-wide programs of un- usual merit in the better homes cam- paign. The programs were presented through efforts of the County Federa- tlon of Women’s Clubs, with the co- opsration of Miss Blanche Clark, county home demonstration agent. Democrats scored a decisive victory in county elections. Mrs Eva Chase of Riverdale, nominated for clerk of the Court of Appeals, was the first woman. ever to be nominated by a major political party for a State office. There was a notable increase in population throughout the county, especially in the sections contiguous to Washington. Mount Rainier's population nearly reached the 4,000 mark and the town's assessable basis was boosted to $2,250,- 000, an increase of $250,000 over the previous yvear. Hyattsville enjoyed a substantial growth, and the town’s as- sessable basis jumped from $3,000,000 to $3,300,000. Laurel, Riverdale, Ber- wyn, College Park, Bladensburg, Branchville, Bowie, Edmonton and other towns all had wholesome growth. Upper Marlboro secured elec- tric lights and there were considerable street and other improvements made in the town. Perhaps the high spot of the year in the northern end of the county was the success of the movement for the extension of Rhode Island ave nue from Mount Rainier to Hyatts- ville. Funds for this work are ex- pected to be appropriated by the Legisiature that convenes in a few days. It is also expected that the dangerous railroad grade crossing at Hyattsville will be eliminated, as the result of a campaign that reached its height in 1 MOUNT RAINIER.

With water assured the minds of the citizens are begin- ning to concentrate mere on the question of imjsoved sewer facil- itles and much progress is expected In clearing up insanitary conditions. Progress is looked for on several big boulevard proposals. A citizens commission has been formed to de- termine if the county should have a new form of government or have the laws amended to make the present more effective. The commission has been conducting its investigations for several months and it is expect- ed will have something definite to report in the near future. According to members of the board of water supply the county in a few ays will have cash in hand for its $750,000 water bonds, contracts for which recently were made. De- mands of several citizens’ organiza- tions that the money when received be deposited in Arlington County banks have been met with assur- ances by the officials that this will be done as far as possible. The en- tire issue of bonds, signed and certi- fied to by T. W. B. Middleton of the United States Mortgage and Trust Co. of New York, was yesterday de- livered to E. Wade Ball, county treasurer, in the presence of Super- visors Turnbuke and Ingram, Asa E. Phillips, engineer in charge of in- stallation of the system, and William H. Duncan, clerk of the court.

BALTIMORE, January 1.—Removal of 31 “discriminations against women still existing on Maryland statute books” will be demanded by the State branch of the National Woman's Party at the session of the Legisla- ture which opens Tuesday. The women plan introduction of a “blanket bill” intended to place men and women on a footing of equality under the law. Practically all the ‘discriminations™ are called heritages of the old English common law and date back to a time when women were regarded as deficient in morals, intel- ligence and will power and needed to be “protected” from the world. One “relic,” they say, assume that a wife s not responsible for a felony. other than treason or homicide, when com- mitted in the presence of her husband. The spirit of the old law persists that she is “under the dominion of her husband” and consequently without guilty intent. A father may will away the guardi- anship of a child from the mother. He has entire control of the labor and earnings of his children. A married woman may not choose her legal resi- dence. Should a husband maintain a voting residence in another State while actually living in Marvland, the wife would have to journey to the other State in order to vote. The wife’s services and her earn- ings in the home belong to the hus- band. The husband receives money damages for injury to his wife.

GLEN ECHO, M4, January 1.-—The Board of Education of Montgomery County has postponed selection of & site for a school at Glen Echo, owing to opposition in Cabin John Park against locating the school in the area served by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, and the insist- ence in Glen Echo that the school be located east of Cabin John Bridge. It was pointed out that the jurisdiction of the Sanitary Commission will not be extended to Cabin John Park, ex- l(‘lcpl upon action of the State Assem- bly. At a meeting of the board a delega- tion urged location of the proposed school in Cabin John Park, contend- ing that wells, a pumping plant, a storage tank and septic tanks could be made more satisfactory than the water and sewerage east of the bridge near Wilson Lane. Glen Echo, Glen Echo Heights and Brookmont citizens urged that the school be located in the sanitary district, where it would serve all, so that children would not have to go into the District of Columbia. They contend that the location of the school west of Cabin John Bridge and away from the sanitary district would not afford any relief in so far as Dis- trict schools are concerned, which is one of the objectives of the county board, as children would continue to g0 to the District schools.
