VIRINA BUDGET PASSED BYHOLSE Measure Put Through After Tax Head’s Salary Item Is Reduced. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staff Correspondent of The Star. RICHMOND, Va. February 25.— After but two hours of deliberation, dur- ing which a $4,000 cut was made in the appropriation for the salary of one im- portant State officer and criticism of another caused- his resignation, the House of Delegates yesterday pasced the general appropriation bill carrying ex- penditures of over $101,000,000 for the next 26 «onuas. It had been expected that the bill would be before the House for several days. When the bill, to which several amendments were moved, but only two were adopted. came up for final pas- sage, there were but four dissenting votes, those being the votes of Dele- gates Folkes, Gioad, Kelly and Shrader. Tax Head’s Pay Cut. The most sensational phase of the ge of the bill was the adoption v the House of an amendment to cut the appropriation for the salary of C. H. Morrisett, State tax commissioner, from $12,000 to $8,000 annually, allow- ing an increase of but $1,000 over his present salary. There were three amendments offered with respect to Morrisett's salary, the one adopted having been offered by Delegate John Q. Rhodes of Leuisa. The vote was 49 to 41. One of the other amendments would have st his salary at $7,500, and the other at $9,000 In an effort to forestall the affoption of any of the amendments, Ashton C. Dovell of Willlamsburg, chairman of the appropriations committee, stated that Gov. Pollard would not ask Morrisett to reconsider his recent resignation un- til he bad had some assurance that the General Assembly would increase the latter's salary from $7,000 to $12,000. A poll of House members, Dovell said, resulted in a promise from 72 members that they would support the increase, and it was upon this as- surance that Morrisett was persuaded to remain. Position of Opponents. Opponents of the increase stated that they would be willing to vote for the Jarge increase if there was any assur- ance that Morrisett wbuld remain as the head of the tax department, but that they thought it a dangerous preces dent to set, and that if Morrisett was not willing to continue on his present some one should be secured to take his place.

SILVER SPRING, Md., Pebruary 25,—Two men and & woman yester~ day put up a total of $185 in col- lateral to answer cl on March 1 the Rockville ce Court, growing out of a fight on the Coles- ville road Sunday afternoon, which necessitated calling out of the police reserves.

PARK TAX DOONED OWINGS DECLARES | Planning Commission Head Tells Hyattsville Chamber Levy Cannot Be Made. Special Distpatch to The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., February 25.— That_there is no possibility of/ getting the Prince Georges County commis- sioners to include in their annual levy next month a tax of 7 cents on the $100 for development of parks in accordance with plans of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission in the metropolitan area of Prince Georges County and that the time for pressing for such a tax is not yet op- fflflunz. was the opinion expressed by rving Owings, chairman of the Plan- ning Conmmission, last night at the Feb- | ruary meeting of the Chamber of Com- | merce of Hyattsville, held in the Muni- | cipal Building here. Mr. Owings thought | that later the park and planning dis- trict would be able to seriously consider the 7-cent rate. Mr. Owings emphasized that agitation | for levying next month of the 7-cent rate instead of the 3-cent rate now in effect had not emanated from the com- mission. | For Building Code. A uniform building code is the most vital need of Prince Georges County, at least of its metropolitan area, Mr. Owings declared. He expressed the be- lief that organizations throughout the park and planning district should unite | in an effort to gain legislation providing for such a code and a buildi inspector | for the area. A uniform building code | inforced by a competent inspector would | compel construction of buildings that | would make for orderly, attractive de- velo!:nnent of the metropolitan area and would be in line with plans of the com- mission for the development of the dis- trict, Mr. Owings said. It was decided to refer Mr. Owings' suggestion to a civic committee of the chamber which it was voted to create. Personnel of this committee will be an- nounced later by President Arthur P. Owens. The matter of the proposed 7- cent rate for parks was referred to the parks and playgrounds committee of the chamber, of which Daniel Cox Fahey, Jr., is chairm: & That part of the letter you don’t write, ofter. says more than the message.
