| A—10 ® DEMOCRATS FAVOR | BAXTER AND KEYS Appointments to Prince Georges Posts Appear Likely. BY GEORGE PORTER. Staff Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., March 27. ~—Appointment of “'homas W. Baxter as assessor for Prince Seorges County and of William F. Keys as transfer clerk, to succeed Baxter, appeared certain today, as the Democratic central committee for the county has selected them for the offices. Baxter will succeed the late James H. Shreve. Keys, who is a delegate from the county in the State Legislature, was also a candidate for the assessor's po- sition. Score of Candidates. Selection of Baxter was made after the central committee carefully deliber- ated over the merits of nearly a score of candidates. The matter was dis- cussed by the committee Saturday, when ‘Walter M. Grimes was named commis- . It was decided to leave final arrangements to a subcommittee of three, which Tuesday agreed on the ap- pn\ntment nmr a conference with Bax- ter and Ke; -ctunl lppoinhne'nt will be made by the State Tax Commission on rec- ommendation ot the county commis-| ¢ pe sioners, who are guided by the sugges- tions of the central committee. Active in Politics. Both men have long been active in Democratic politics. Baxter, who lives near Mitchellville, is a former store- keeper. He was appointed transfer clerk about two years ago to sticeed Charles Wilson. The transfer work has brought Tim in close contact with the assessor's office and this experience is believed to have led Democratic chieftains to re- gard him as well qualified for the position. Keys was elected to the State Legis- lature in 1925. He is a former oon- tractor and builder, and has resided in Prince Georges County about 24 years. Political posttions formerly held by him in lude town councilman of Brentwood tion officer of Chillum dis- trlct. He is at present a trustee of the Brentwood School although he now makes his home in Mount Rainier. For the past several months Keys has been employed in the office of the county commissioners and is familiar with the duties of transfer clerk.

The meeting, which was called by F. C.

Goodnow outlined this in his introductory talk. Five-cent Minimum. May, in & frank statement, said that he desired, if possible, to have a 5-cent minimum fare instead of a higher rate, and that he had gone over his figures with his auditors and found that in- stead of a 10-cent minimum and 15-cent straight fare to Washington he would be willing to try out for a period of four months a fare basis of 5 cents as far as Washington avenue, with 10 cents | to the south end of Highway Bridge and 15 cents to Washington, with eight tokens for $1, interchangeable on either line, good to or from Washin Gardner L.

The board of supervisors of Loudoun County went on record on Monda: favoring a location of the Prince Wil- liam addition from the Loudoun line through Catharpin and had been in- formed that this route would be voted on by the Prince William supervisors. ‘The route involved would be an ex- tension of route 31 from the Wi - t~1-Richmond highway at Dumfries via .assas, Catharpin, Hickory Grove and on to the Loudoun line at Lee Jack- son highway.
