P GLEN ECHO VOTES 10 STAND ALONE Nejects Plan to Join Suburb- an Area—To Make Own Improvements. Dy a Staff Correspondent of The Star. GLEN ECHO, Md. January 9.— After a prolonged study of its financial il's, the town of Glen Echo definitely has rejected the proposal that it be- come a part of the western suburban district of Montgomery County and has decided to petition the Legislature for an amendment to its charter to permit the is-uance of bonds not exceeding 5 per_cent of the town'’s assessed value. Mayor H. T. McCuen said today that it was found that the income which would be derived from the 30-cent sub- nrban distriet tax would be inadequate | to finance the improvements that are needed badly. More Borrowing Power. The solution cf the problem, the n_government is convinced, he de- clared, is to strike out the provision in | the present charter which prohibits the | borrowing of more than $500 a year and requires that the amount borrowed be refunded within the year | In its place the mayor and council weuld inserted authorization for he town to borrow money to_finance street and other developments. Refund- ng of the loan would be over a term of years. Another desired change in the town charter would raise the qualifications for mayor and councilmen. The pro- posed change would require that the mayor be at least 35 years old and a property owner and Tesident of the town and that the councilmen be at least 25 vears old and property owners and residents Tax Not Sufficient. Mayor McCuen said that for a num- ber of years the present 50-cent town tax has provided insufficient revenue to do more than barely pay administration | expenses. The town has been unable | to build enough new streets or to keep the old ones in a proper state of repair. Because of lack of funds, the street con- struction which has taken place has been haphazard and without definite plan. If permitted to borrow money to be repaid over a long term of years, the | town government expects to inaugu- | rate sn extensive development program, | Mayor McCuen asserted. Streets would | come first, he declared, and then the | various municipal services would be | improved. The present assessment of the town is approximately $230,000, the mayor declared, which, under the proposed charter amendment, would permit the torrowing of $11,500. The 50-cent town tax, now in eflect, would be continued, he 'said. | Admission to the western suburban district “ would result in the 30-cent suburban tax being assessed on the town, Mayor McCuen pointed out, and would yield only about $900 in revenue | a year, as against the $1,500 3'!‘}1\'1_\'; revenue the town now receives from taxes. He said that $900 barely would pay for Glen Echo's street lighting. PROTESTS WILBUR'S | OIL TARIFF VIEWS ¢ | “ocky Mountain Association Asks President ‘$o Censure Secre- tary for Statement.
