SUBURBAN TOWNS URGED T0 MERGE Mount Rainier "and Brent- wood Geographically One, Says G. W. Baker in Plan. Special Dispatch to The Star? BRENTWOOD, Md., October 26— Consolidation of Mount Rainier and Brentwood, with a provision for Cot- tage City, Moyers Park, Colmar Manor and Lenox later, if these towns desire to be included, has been proposed by E. 'W. Baker of this city, following the ap- parent discontinuance of the Maryland City projects, which was to have taken & larger area into municipal bounds. “Mount Rainler and Brentwood are contiguous and geographically one,” said Mr. Baker today. “They have one railroad station through which all mail, express and freight for the two towns is received. That portion of Thirty- fourth street north of Baker street is abutted on the one side by Mount Rainier homes and on_the other by those in Brentwood. Permanent im- provement of this street can be made and assessed against the property own- ers on both sides if the two towns are made one. Banks, stores and schools are used by the two towns in common, and the proposed high school, for which land adjoining Mount Rainier and Brentwood has been purchased, is for the benefit of all of the towns above mentioned. The drainage system of the two towns should be treated as one. Drainage Tax Question. “The proposed increase in town tax in Brentwood to take care of drainage would bring the town jax rate up to about 30 cents on the $100 assessed val- uation, based on the county assessment. The rate in Mount Rainier is 40 cents on the $100, the assessed valuation being lower than the county assessment. The difference in tax rate should not, there- fore, be an objection, as the benefits 'fll be greater. “In bringing about a consolidation of the towns of Mount Rainier and Brent- wood, including possibly other nearby towns, a careful study of the form of government to be adopted should be made, with a view to procuring the one most suitable and best adapted to the needs of the community. The mayor and council form of government aj to be the most popular, and is in the majority of the towns in thls vicinity. However, other forms of gov- ernment, such es under a city manager or city commissioners, should be glven consideration. ' It is believed wise have Mount Rainier continue under ns present name and charter as amended, with such further amendments to its charter as necessary fo - incorporate Brentwood and other towns with and under the name of Mount Rainier. Plan for Legislation. “It is suggested that a separate amendment be presented to the Legis- lature for elch mwn which desires to consolidate with Mount Rainier, so that if the measure to incorporate any one town ‘with Mount Rainier is lost in the referendum vote of that town, it will not affect the other towns or prevent them from be $0 incorporated if pused by referendum. Provision should made to take over any and all lndeh!edness of the town of Brentwood or the other towns. In the case of Brentwood, the only indebtedness is for su'eec and sidewalk improvements made his past Summer amounting to about :so 000, assessable against the front-foot 24 owners would thus be given 10 years to pay for their street improvements instead of 4 years as at present. Also additional concrete roads can be con- structed in Brentwood next year under this plan, whereas it will be lmpos- sible if the town remains separate, the limit of the amount of funds t.he st ) in the combination of the several towns of Mount Rainler and vicinity wi there be added strength and unity, and the towns will become a city, prosperous and ltmnzer financially and in every way. ode Island avenue is to be ex(!nded through Mount Rainier and Brentwood, thus making another lnk Joining the two towns. “No official action has been taken by any of the towns toward the 3’“&’,"" consolidation and the matter ply brought before the people for discus- sion and e ssion of opinion. It is believed that the step is a loglcnl one, and if public opinion warrants {:o g to the necessary legmmon INDIAN SCHOOL PROPOSED IN MEMORY OF OBREGON Mexican Deputies Seek Support in Move to Buy Inn at San Angel.
