A e MONTGOMERY BOND 1SSUE 1S APPROVED New York Counsel Give Ten- tative 0. K. to Road and " Sohool Securities. BY HOWARD M. BAGGETT. Btaff Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md, February 26— Tentative approval of the $520,000 road and school 5 per cent bonds of Mont- gomery County has been given by the firm of Masslich & Mitchell, bond counsel, of New York, Capt. Joseph C. Cissel of counsel to the commissioners reported at the meeting of the board here yesterday. The proceedings of the commissioners and the bond forms were given the tentative approval of firm, Capt. Cissel reported. This action will be confirmed by letter, he said. The commissioners plan to reoffer the bonds at public sale after the opinion of the New York attorneys ap- proving the board’s action and the form of the bonds is received in writing, Lacy Shaw, president of the board, the New York | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 26, 1932 he said, was on the basis of $1 per thousand up to $300,000, 75 cents per and 50 cents per thousand over $500,000. This money will be taken out of the proceeds of the sale of the bonds, as allowed by lay, Mr. Shaw said, if the bonds are sold. Otherwise the fee will be paid out of the revolving fund of the county. The expense of having the legal opin- fon before the bonds are sold costs the county nothing in the long run if the bonds are disposed of, Mr. Shaw said. Unless this is done by the county the banking fums deduct sufficient from their bid to pay aptorneys to do this work, he stated. The opinion is being obtained, Mr. Shaw said, so that the bonds may be printed in advance and be available for private sale if no bids are received when again offered pub- licly, If sold privately, the bonds must | bring a price not less than 99 as re- quired by law, while the commissioners may accept a lower bid at public sale if | they see fit. Refuse Town Constable. A request from Justice of the Peace R. E. Lee of Kensington that a special | constable be appointed for that town, | was denied by the board. This action was taken, Mr. Shaw said, because of | the demerits of the fee system under which constables operate and because of their possible interference with the work of the county police force. “While the appointment of a special constable for Kensington might work out all right,” Mr. Shaw said. “it would establish a bad precedent and lead to applications from other parts of the county for similar appointments which thousand between $300,000 and $500.000 | stated.

The report, prepared by Thomas L. Peyton, chairman, opposes the remainder of the re-zoning re- quests. Both reports will be presented to the chamber at the meeting to be held at the County Building here March 7.
