C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1929.° SCHOOL FUNDBILL * SIREF PASA $466,483 Measure for Mont- gomery County May Be Introduced Today. , By 8 Etaff Correspondent of The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., January Montgomery County's emergency school bond issue, Intended to provide the funds for the school construction com- pleted ng 1928, is expected to be introduced to the General Assembly late today. Senator Eugene Jones of Kensington will present the measurc and it is expected that he will push it through the upper house. The county delegation in the House of Delegates, headed by Speaker E. Brooke Lee of | Siiver Spring, say that the measure will } be given a clear legisla it reaches that body. However, a bnndi measure will not be introduced in the | unless it appears later that| there is delay in the upper hous: There is a certainty that the measure will pass. A vote of the delegation in each house carries with it the sup- porting votes of those from other coun- ties on strictly local legislation. The measure which is to be introduced by | Benator Jones covers the total cost of school construction for 1928, including equipment, building lots and busses for the transportation of the children. The construction is practically all paid for, but from funds in the hands of the county commissioners and the school board. In reality the emergency bond issue proposed is a refunding measure. When the bonds are sold the proceeds will be used for reimburs- ing the county commissioners and the school board for the money they ad- yance, and to pay off certain balances. Covers Work Completed. Edwin W. Broome, superintendent of county schools, in a letter to Senator Jones today said: “In keeping with the plan workéd put in the conference with you yester- day, we have reported to the county commissioners the amount to provide for the emergency school construction in the amount of $466,483.17, which amount covers the work completed from the last bond issues. THe amount in- cludes the figures for the land already bought for the board of education for the Somerset building and for the Gaithersburg School ground. “We are advised that the board of county commissioners have instructed their attorney, Joseph C. Cissel, to pre- pare a bond issue_to finance or refi- nance, as the case ‘may be, the school construction of 1928 in the amount yeported and mentioned above. I un- derstand Mr. Cissel is limiting the purpose of the refunding school con- struction bond issue to a definite list of the actual items of expenditure which were discussed with you. The board of education feels this emer- gency refunding issue should be made 8n emergency matter. “Since the Board of Education feels mature judgment should be exercised in connection with any provision for new construction work, definite action on such work has been deferred.” .

ROAD FUND PROBE 10 BE SWEEPING Maryland Senate Prepares to Join With House in Short- age Investigation. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY. it Correspondent of The Star. STATEHOUSE, Annapolis, Md., Jan- uary 23.—Maryland's State Senate is preparing to join with the lower house of the General Assembly in a search- ing investigation of the peculations in the State Roads Commission forces. It was the consensus of opinion of ad- ministration leaders that the Senate would not attempt to obstruct the plans already laid by the House of Delegates for a thorough and complete investiga- | tion of the methods of the highway de- partment, which permitted the pecula- tions already brought to light by two gfand jury investigations. ‘The plan as laid down in conferences between Senate and House leaders, and which is expected to result in definite action before the session adjourns late this afternoon, is for the Senate to pass a resolution providing for a com- | prehensive investigation of the high- way department by & joint committee of the State Legislature, and to provide for the employment of the necessary coun- sel, clerks, stnographers and other help and for the furnishing by the State of all official papers found necessary in the investigation. Immediate Action Planned. Just as soon as the resolution is re- ceived in the House—and this probably will be done before adjournment this afternoon in accortiance with plans laid down today—it will be brought up for immediate consideration under a sus- pension of the rules and concurred in, It is now planned that the Senate will have five members on the committee and that the House will increase its grand inquest committee from 13 to 15 and give each a one-third vote in any matters requiring this action. This will give equal voting power to both the Senate and House of Delegates. This is necessary, it was explained, as this com- mittee corresponds to what would be a conference committee' of the Federal House and Senate. There ‘is an understanding at this time that the Senate also will concur in the action of the House in appointing counsel and will no} seek to add any “A year or so ago, the makers of OLD GOLD ran some ads on the disturbing effect of coughing in theatres. As an actor, - I was grateful for those ads. I am more grateful now that OLD GOLD has invited stage folk to help them bring ‘first aid’ information to our unhappy friends the ‘theatre-coughers.’ “My own advice is that prevention is the first and best aid. The kind of prevention that smoking OLD GOLDS gives. Harsh to- bacco irritates the throat, and that causes coughing.

It was pointed out that the attorneys invited to serve bear the highest reputation in the State and their employment, in itself, assures a most searching investigation into every angle of the scandal. Employ- ment of any more counsel, it was added, also would mean additional heavy ex- pense and the same result can be obtained by the counsel already asked to serve, ‘Whether the House insurgents will attempt to unload any more attacks on the administration when the Sen-| ate investigation resolution is presented for immediate consideration, by seeking | to have it referred to committee, is unknown. Just what their next line of attack will be, if they have any, is being jealously guarded. The only out- break from them was on the floor last | night, when Daniel C. Joseph of Bal- timore City delegation, announced that, as the oldest member of the Baltimore delegation, he had been requested by that delegation to say that there would |be a meeting of the city delegation |after last night's session. At this | point Francis A. Michel, second Bal- | timore district, jumped to his feet and ! | said that if there was to be a meet- | ing it would be called by the chairman of the delegation. Clarence E. Phelps, who was elected chairman of the dele- gation at a meeting at which the in- surgents refused to attend, said that he had not called a meeting of the city delegation. Delegate Robert I. Lednum, Demo- crat and member of the House grand inquest committee, from Pocomoke City, Worcester County, rising to a question of personal privilege last night, took issue with Delegates Joseph and Coburn for saying the members of the committee were a bunch of “yes” men. Mr. Lednum said that he regarded “yes” men as those unfair to their constitu- |ents, dishonest and crooked. He was | confident there were no such men on the committee. He alleged, on the floor, that Joseph amd Coburn were disap- pointed politicians, who did not get what they wanted; otherwise, he con- tinued, the remarks would not have been made. Both delegates said they did not in- tend to attack any individuals of the committee and apologized if they had appeared to have insulted any one. The State budget for the year was introduced last night by Speaker Lee, carrying funds for all of the State ac- tivities, together with a number of bills, which were referred to appropriate committees.

PERMIT 1S SOUGHT FORNEW CEMETERY 200 Acres Near Congression- al Country Club Pro- posed Site. Special Dispatch to The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., January 23.— Montgomery County is to have a 200~ acre cemetery, modern in every detail, and one of the finest in this section of the country, it is said, if plans of a number of Washington and Mont- gomery County promoters do not mis- carry. Edward H. Jones and Harry M. Mar- tin, prominent realtors of this county and Washington, appeared before the County Commissioners here yesterday and presented a petition, signed by themselves and James D. Woodroe and L. E. Poeet, asking the Commissioners to issue a permit to the petitioners to establish and maintain a cemetery on a tract adjoining the property of the Congressional Country Club, in Potomac district, which, the petitioners repre- sented, they have contracted to buy from George P. Sacks and others. The property was formerly part of the Montgomery County holdings of the late Senator Brandegee of Connecticut. It is planned, so the petition sets forth, to so lay out and improve the tract that it will be a place of real beauty and a benefit, rather than other- wise, to nearby property. The petition further states that the project will be so financed as to insure its perpetual care. ‘The request was referred by the Commissioners to their legal adviser, Cissel & Woodard, for an opinion as to the legal phases, and. if no ob- stacles are suggested by the attorneys, a public hearing will, it is understood, be arranged by the Commissioners to hear protests, if any, against granting the permit. As part of the tract is within what is _known as the Washington Metro- politan District of the county, a permit from the Maryland National Park ‘and Planning Commission will, it is stated, also be_ necessary. Mr. Martin in discussing the proj- ect here yesterday declared that a cemetery of this type was a great need. He said the undertaking would involve &h% expenditure of many thousands of ollars. “Will the gentleman who just coughed, kindly step to the box office.. for a package of Old Golds?” “Of course, I have never said just those words from the stage—but in all kindness I have often wanted to offer this friendly help to some poor fellow whose cough was interrupting the show and spoiling the enjoyment of those around him.
