ROCKVILLE, Md., April 9.—Ac- cording to Lawrence A. Chiswell, county supervisor of assessments, more than 10,000 automobiles are owned in Montgomery County and fully 5,000 have escaped taxation, the county losing about $17,250 in annual revenue. Mr. Chiswell and his assistants are engaged in a drive to locate these un- taxed machines. The task, however, Presents is proving a big one, principally be- cause of the absence of an adequate system of keeping tab on them after they are issued “tags” by the State motor vehicle commissioner, but the offices of the motor vehicle commis- sioner and the State tax commissioner are co-operating in the campaign in every way possible and Mr. Chiswell stated today that he believes when | the time arrives for the county com- | missioner to sign the tax levy for the | fiscal year, which begins July 1, vir- tuaily ‘all of them will have been list ed for taxation purposes. | PLANES ON BLOSSOM LIST% Paper Petals to Be Strewn From | Skies at Winchester Fete.
