If it could be proved t the Sanitary Commission is not the prime mover in the scheme, de- red several members, the opposi- jon would largely disappear. It was informally decided that the committee should conduct a “campaign of educa- tion” to acquaint the people with the jetails of the proposal, invite public ussion and criticism and generally use interest in the movement, 0| that public opinion may be crystalized. | Bowie to Resign. Brice Bowle of Riverdale announced his intention of resigning from the committee on the ground that his duties as a county commissioner make it inadvisable for him to take : part in the committee’s activities, He promised, however, to help the com- mittee in every w: he could to; gather accurate data for an intelli-| gent study of the city plan. | The proposed new city would cover | area of a little more than 10 square The population of the com-| nities included in the plan is about 00. This would be a big loss to Prince Georges County, which has a| population of about 50,000, provided | the city should become a separate entity. Many believe, however, that the principal advantage of a new city could be otained by incorporation of the consolidated area within the county. As essential part of the plan, nevertheless, in the minds of most of is that the present 1.62 cents on each $100 essed valuation of real property ould be paid no longer to the county, but to the city. It is estimated that the assessable basis in the proposed city area will | he approximately $25,000,000 when the new assessment is completed by the first of the vear. Averaging the | present taxes collected in the incor- | yorated towns in the city area at 40 cents and counting in the $1.62 of county tax, a tax for the proposed | yew city of about $2 per $100 was obtained for purposes of discussion. er Greenway Inn Opposite Cathedral Mansions South DINNERS Special Tuesday and Thursday Chicken Wednesday and Friday Sea Foods 5 to 7:30, 85 Cents FIRST ANNIVERSARY DINNER Sunday, October 30, 1927 Six_Courses Special Menu 1:00 to 7:30, $1.00 ANN TABER s mMLP»> HCO=-HOAMmMZ2ZC0 Non - acid, extremely low | tax of the sm ' | ernments of all the towns into one creased ta | Chamber of Commerce Nove et e e e e = T | Applied to an assessed value of $25..| 1 000,000, this tax rate would l‘l‘(’fll"‘fl; | about $500.000 in annual revenue for | | Maryland City, it was claimed.
