BY WILLIAM 8. TARVER, Btar Corrcspondent of The Star. BETHESDA, Md,, January 10.—Au- thorization by the Maryland General Assembly of bond issues for Montgom- ery County totaling $2,000,000, an in- crease of 107 cents in the county tax rate and the adoption of certain “standards of safety” to be observed in the issuance of bonds, were the three major recommendations to the Mont- gomery County Civic Federation by its Committee on Public Finance and budg- et upon which it will be called upon to act Monday night. The committee report vetoes the sug- gestion put forward in a resolution re- cently proposed.by George H. Lamar of Rockville, that all bond issues recom- mended by the federation be submitted to a popular referendum and that all county bond authorization acts specify each project for which the funds would be used and the bond authorization for each project. Favorably Reported. ‘The third portion of the Lamar reso- lution, which calls Ior adoption of & code of safety in bond issues, is re- ported favorably and such a code is presented by the committee to the fed- eration. The legislative report if adopted would constitute the financial recom- mendations of the federation to the General Assembly and carries the weight of the 36 constituent organiza- tions of the federation, which are dis- tributed through the length and breadth of Montgomery coun'.; ‘The by-laws of the admuan m-ke lt “‘“‘“"“éum prmrwuubu - prepare a nnia session of the Legislatire, setting forth the total estimated cost of all public improvements or projects indorsed by the federation and the amount of funds available and advisable to be made available vlf.htn the period covered by the budget.” ‘The $2,000,000 bond issue urged, sup- $400,000 from receipts of gas tax and Federal road aid funds, would finance road. and school construction and refinance cgrtain exist- ing irdeb'aed:eu o t.lnn“lln.l recommended a road program cal for the expenditure of $1460,000 and & school program, which would require $550,000. In addition, $200,000 is owing on the court house, $60,000 on the Be- thesda and Siiver Spring County Build- Il’:g: and $50,000 on schools, the report states. The report analyes the present and probable future financial situation of the county, makes recommendations which it deems to constitute sound pub- lic finance and then justifies these recommendations application of the “standards of safety” set out in its re- port on.the Lamar resolution. Substitute Resolution. These standards are contained in a substitute resolution proposed in place of the resolution introduced by Ilr La- mar. The committee suggests that the fed:ration adopt the policy of observing the following propositions in connection | th its recommendations upon pending and future bond issues: 1, nds should be restricted to the financing of needed permanent public o s e 3 s should mature serially within the probable life of the improve- ments for which bonds are hlu having due turity sched: ; ang n‘?rd for the present ma- of outstanding bonds, ’ payments upon principle should be made in substantially equal amounts each year during the term of the bonds. 3. Under present neonouual and conditions, aggregate amounts of bonds flutlilndxn‘ at any one time should not exceed approxi- mately 10 per cent of the ununblt value of the county at that time.
