Liblrary, Trash Pickup, Fire Dept.· May be~ D:ropped From City Budqet

By I • .J. Parker

The city council began in earnest to consider the estimated budget for 19!>5 aJJ presented by city manager Charles McDowct last Monday night. First service to be sacrificed in the c:ouncil bid to ~~ut the city tal~ rate is the library, the council indicated; the libr·a.ry will be integrated with the county system.

Mayor Frank Lastner declared that he underatruu:is that the eoUJnty library :syste1111 has ••pickP.d up.'' rec•mtly until it can match our standards. :M.ost intportant, bow-. ~~ver, is the necessity of taking ad­va .. ntage of county services for which local citizens pay, Lastner added. He ai.SSerted that 12 cents per pc1·son in GreE~nbelt goes to

--·----Council! Considers Alte~rna1te l~udgets; Hearin!~ Nc,v. 22

City man .. 5er Cha~es T. Mc­Donald pres·ented the estlmate1 budget, or ntUaer ~.vo buodgets. to th<~ citJ· council la.Rt Monday night, and dElivered a lbJJdget message which urged the council to "re­study the P<ISSible duplicating of sea'Vicc.>:l furnish 1e d by Prince George's County and paid for by Gre•mb~it citizem1 through the County tax."

With And \l!~lthout 'l'he first budget, without county

88Bil1tance in c•>ntinuing the pres­ent se rvi.ces t:alls for a recom­mcmded. expoenditur•i! of $331,624. With conuty hoelp il:t services, ,the estimated budg.et is $a08,37'. Bud­get No. 1 is $;27,860 c1ver lut year's budget.

On ULeb asiis of the first budget, Md)onald disctosedl that the tax rate Wtmld be $2.35!~ per $100 as­sess.oo valuation. A tax rat."~ of $2.023 would be needed to meet the seeond budget figure. <The 19M figure is $2.143.) Also disclosed was au estimnted $7,000 surplus for thiu year., as co1npared to Jaat year's H18.500 ..

Dl!!appobttlnlg A.aaessmen~

The estima.tE·d WIISeSI.'Ied valua­tion of all real property in Green­belt, accordi:ng to McDonald, is $6,920,000. The expected increase in a.ss,~SSt~d valuation of fE.-deral proprty, whic:h was recently sold to private investors,. amounted to less than $100,000, this was coned by Mc.:Donald a "disappointing" figure.

The duplicate senices for which MeDon !lid rE-quested serious con­sideration of the council are the library, recn~a.tion, publi~ health, fire and poli·ce departments.

Afler the budget message, the city council began its <:onsidera.­tion of Ute budget which will last until tile lant part of December when a. final budget fs approved. The co 11ncil approved a motion to meet on succ::essive Mondays with additional SPf!Cial sessions if neces­sary. The puhJic hearing dare on th€' bude"E-t was se-t for November 22.

Propot~als Available J[t was also disclosed that copies

of the proposed budgt:t will be · a"':'ll.ilable til citiZf'ns for a full week prior t::> the public hearing. and can be eeeured at the city offices.

.ln l:tis .finl\1 bud~et message statem~·nt. McDonald referred b the f:u·t thl\t the federal llovern­ner>t is no Jonst"er partfcipating b the citv's budll.'et cohsiderationa a"ti connnt ;,..nose a "paterna.IUitlc ir>fluPnr::e." ..

the library system. without &nJ' bt>nefit to us at pre~rent. Aiso, the county library system gets certain funds from the state for its su·p­port.

Ft..-e l•~or Trash Colleetlon Another plan to cut. the tax rate

involves tbe· elimination of pr­bage and trash collection from the budget, with the cost of this serv­ice to be paid by fee charge, prob · ably $1.50 a month. MacDt>nald called it a more equitable method of paying for the service, and would reduce our budget by $30,000, and cut the tax rate an estimated .4.2 cents per $100 assessed valua­tion. It is proposed that -Green­belt Veteran Housing Corporation collect the monthly fee for the city, as it now collects the water service charge. The pl&.n for a charge for trash and ~rtubage col­lection is uae,d by many communi­ties. McDonald stated, and It would be quite proper for thl8 community to use th'- . plan lllnce the majority of homes are o'W'ft8tl by one corporation: the blBIDI would be that much easier and lea. costly.

PI~ P.,llee.. Cut~~ . . . 11 Also planned for elinLinat:illn

from the budget is the fire depall"t­ment; which costs U.e eity about $5000 a year. With a volunteer fire department, which is standard practice in the county, the orge.n­ization would receive funds trc•m the county aud state for lts sup­port. The ~ity equipment, deem­ed adequate, would be .te<licated or sold at a nominal fee to the new volunteer staff. Another aspect ot the move would permit the Jocai rescue squad to associate ltse!f with the volunte~r fire department and also receive funds for ita sup­port from county or state sources. <Both departments received no outside support while under c!ley adminiatratio: •. )

Another saving may be effe(:ted in the police department. It is proposed that the aasilttant chief of police replace the head of the public works department <who ill leaving). The vacancy on the po­lice force would not be bUed. ·

However, this would rtlllult tn an "empty" shift d•uing the day, probably the afternoon hours of 8 to 4, when only the pol!le chief will be on call from his oftlce. ·The remaining officers would work from 4 p.m. until midnight, and midnight to 8 a.m. It is hoped tf.)

obtain county police sen;ce dur­ing the afternoon shift.

Another proposal, to elimina~~ the recreation department from the budget, was suggested. With ('Xpe<"tcd grc!lter partici{1ation ot the P.ounty in recreation actlvltlea in Greenbelt, McDonald felt the problem was merely one of co­ordinating the activities with the communities and the coordination could be handled by another ck!­partment head.

Memben of tbt: city couneil ex­pressed their dlafavor of eliminat­ing a recreation department direc-­tor from the budget. It wu ar­gued that the community baa .,... tabJU.hed a popular reputation for many yeara regarding 9ttr 8ne recN"tltion program, and would re­gret an.y dlminiablng of thla repu­tation. It WILli felt that the clt.7 abould wait until It is ~ mnre aeeurately what the coUJitlr ean offer iu l'eC!'eation aervtc. beiOft 811Cb • move ia made.

Tlte Budg4!t and The Pc)Jice · In the preliminary discussion of the budget. a proposal was ~e to save the cost of one police oflicer by uam,~ county police dw-mg the afternoon how:"S. Local police would uork the even­ing and ea:rly mol'lling shiJt;s only.

This Pl"'posal has hit tht!- morale of our police force a severe blow. At present three oftic:!rs are rotating the &!lifts, and this new:.:~paper has learned. that they look forward to their turn on the afternoon shift, which JD(]et nearly represents ":ilOrmal" work­ing hours. If this proposal is approved. all they can look forward to· is contin11ous employm.e:!lt on odd shifts. As ooe citizen put it the county ''VOuld get the ''gravy" shift. · '

Witllt so much undeveloped land within tbe corporate limits of Greentoelt and the Jnany ~Ldvan­tages the lOC'.ation offers to Ute de­velopment ol residential, cOJnmer­

·cial, and now even industrial build­ing, e\''ery as.sisUUlce and induce­·ment flhould be given to encour­age thiB deve!opment in order to inereaa.e the &Sl!:essed valuation, and proportionately reduce our -tax rab!.

We believe we have a fine pollee force. The hw crime rate in Greenbelt can be largely attributed to their e11iciency and dili­gence. It ia ~ell-known tJ:tat prevention of crime is as important as the solving of crimes.

The COilDCiJ's reasoning that the afternoon i:1. a compara­tively ·:crinle-free' period may be .true. Nevertheless, when most l;rea.dwmners are at work, there is need for continuous police pro­tidction in ~he community. J.Urt:hermore, local residents should have the cc:lmfortiug knowledge 'that such Protection is immed-iately availab!e. .

It is a illtep in the right direction to explore hew the county can assist the city of Greenbelt in the matter of police protection. llowever, wt~ feel that due ccnsideration should be given to our own police sta1f. The penalty of having a disgrantiEd, unsatisfied poJiee force may not be worth the few dollars -saved.

· Lelltr It -the E•ilt•r Facts on Library ~ At tbe CitY Council llleetin,r on November S. liM. the City ::r.t:ana­ser recommended the transfEr of our llbrary t<• the Prlnce Gec:•rgea County Llbr&J'Y QBtem. Tbla rec­ommendation waa bebag Diade· for

In the consideration of the 1955 budget It ia very disappointing at this tin2e to find that dllrinJ~ the past Yt!ar i:he assessed valuation -of Greenbelt reaJ property in--creased less than $100,000.00, and that th:ls amount would hav4e re­duced tllle 1954 tax rate only three cents per $100.00 assessed valua­tion. It Is doubly disappohtting because there .&ei?med to boe so much encouragement at the time the 1984 budb'et was considered that several hundred hcmes would be start:ed by the time the 1955 study W;!UI made, and we would be dealing In million dollar assess­ment inc!re88eS instead of les.s than $100,000.(10 figure.

The Ll.sk of reducing the tax· rate for 19515 resolves Itself to a restudy <)f the pcssible duplicating of &erviocea furnished by Prince Georges County u.d paid for by Greenbelt citizens through the County tax. In ordE!r that the ~~ty Council may make this study n1ore readily, :':: !lave prepared one budget e:st:~Iotate coJ,tinuing all of the prea~ent municipal servt~a. and a &c?<:Ond budf!:et estimatE• if full adva.n.tage weroe taken of all available Co•.mty Sl!rvlces. Tbcae duplicate lser?fces are the lfbnLrY, recreatior1, public health, fire lUld police de:p.&rtment.

The total recornmoended expendi­ture budll"!t continuing tbe PJ'eS­ent servlot:1~ is $331,624.00, an in­crease c•f $27.860.00 Of thJs amount. ~la),146.00 appears In rev­enue producing department. !Uld ar. offfttting reventle is provided for in Uae revenue side r~f Ute budget.

In order to produce the revnue ~hc·wn for the bus operation an increase in fares mWit be fortb­c..v.>:ruing. TJ\e revenue for the bus ope ratJ,on in 1954 Is gradually re­ducing aa we t~re not carrying the :murtber of puaengera we carried in J!)revloWI yean.

The fact that only $7.500.00 Is BIVallable from Surplus this year sa ·::ompare~ with $18,500.00 avail­ablE· Surplus last year meana that $11,1)(}(;.00 haa to be rallied from othE•r sources, and this Ia, of couJ-.e, the big reason that an ad­dltic•nal amount haa to be raised thrc ugh real propc~rty tax.

The estimated &aae8sed valua­tion of aD real propertv In Green­belt aa of .January 1,l9M is $8,920,-000.(10, and to produce the amount ot real property tax estimated In the ~udget to continue the present se:rv: ces will Produce a tax rate of $2.sn per $100.00 asseiiSed valua­tion; and by using the amount needed In the budget to utilize Cuul'l ty services, the tax rate will .,.. $:!.023 per $100.00 &aseued val­u&.tion.

J.n corJclusfon. It is lnterestlnc to note that for the ftrst time In our budget history we haYti not lnctu,:Jed an item for payments In lieu of taxea from the Federal ~~:mment; therefore, the deci­llions a.f Council ..pill In no way be hamJlered or dlflcted bv that pa­lternallstlc lnftuence. We are on our own, and It Is up to us to prove ourselves.

AP!lro:dmately 250 peopl•! at­t.omded tlu~ November meeting of t:'le Ce11:tcr School Parent-'Peach­ers Association last Tuesda•r eve­ning Following the theme :Know Youx· •.reachers," parents •tisited tne dassrooms for the first hour, and congregated at 9:30 for the business meeting in the au :litoJ:"i­\Jm.

Pz-E,sident H a r o I d Hufendick chaiJ~ed the meeting and intro­cl UCE'cl these committee chtirmen who spoke briefly: Morris Solo­lllon, program; Vincent Caruso, ll'lentbership; Mn. Louis Lushine. trea!lur~~r; and Mrs. Eleanor Rit­chie, ways and means.

Caruso announced that the silver cups for membership and 2:.ttend­s nee were won by the same teach­Ers who captured them last rnonth:

. ].{rs. Yeager for percentage of 1•arenta enrolled in P.·T.A; and tmotJ1er tie between Mrs. 'I'bomp­!:on and Miss Sowtelle for attend­lillce of parents at the meE tfng .

J.fr-s. Ritchie and Mrs. I.wshine , c:ommented on the budget, which ·~ailed for ral.alng approximately =>200. to be added to the $100 now Jn the treasury, to meet m:peJUieS 1~or the coming year. It was 11dopted unanlmoualy. Mrs. Rltch· ie IUmounced that the P.-T.A. plana to :sponsor one, or perhaps two, l~rfe>rmanees of the M:ontnomery l::..tgbt Opera ~atlon produc­tion of .. Plratell of PetlZ&nce'' nA.rly next year.

H:ufendlck read excerpts from the Prince Georges Board of Edu­cmtio•n's •'Commtttee Repc·rt on P.-·r.A. Fund-Ralalng Activities." ~rhe report llsted various activities that it deemed Improper for the Boud to sponsor, or which might fall within the scope of l,·AA's. ~£be first category Included: equlp­Jilng the cafteria, funW.hing uudio-visual mater i a 1 .. Ubrary books, and recorda.

In the second were: buyln:r band uniforms and instruments, equlp­Jting the playground and 'f'aculty t·oom.. and furnlahlng railbJoata t·or ·patrol children. The report frowned on purchase of television e;eta, either by the board of educa­tion or any P-TA. becauae of the Jlresent standards In pNgram­tnlng. Hufend!ck then announced that $100 now ln the P-TA tJ-eaaury t!&I'ID&rked for thl8 purpoua will not be spent for a TV set, ut least for the preeent.

120-Poun,ders Eleat GreenMe1ttdows6-0

Greenbelt's 120 pounders defeat­ed Green !\1ca<.!ows last Saturday 6-Q. It was a hard. well played affair in which Greenbelt held the upJX•r hand throughout the game, rcgard!l:'ss of the fact that only one touchdown was scored. 1\Iost of tile game ww1 played between midfield and the Green Meadows 20 yard line. There was n large puddlE' around the 40 yard line that both teams S(~med to llike, at least they played in that one more than any other ont>. The boys seemed to tc wet and cold throughout the game even If they didn't play that way. To mak~ matters worse the jocal team had c.nly one substitute. Both, Dunn who hurt his lei~ and DonBullian who was kicked in the mouth had to return to the g;NDe because of the lack of substitutes. Even un­der these adveraoe conditions the boys played ve:ry good football. Matson's playing: in the backfield was exceptional while Canning, Davia, Dunn and Palmer played well in the i~ne. The lone touch-_.. down waa a pitc:bout by White to Taylor who scol'led from the 11, McGlothin threw· the key 'block.

The only pen1:alty In the~ game waa for 15 yardn against Green· belt for holding. It came In the last quarter and took Green Mea­dows to the Greenbelt 20. They dmve as far ao t~ 15 where Gret>nbelt held tour dow~ and took over. It waa the nea!'lest that Green Meadows had come to the Greenbelt goal Ur.e. Two <tuarter­back sneaks endE~ the ga:me.

FOOLISHLY, .AU IT TURNED OUT, we thought the add11~ss w'!B enough. We WE!re in NC\llr York. and had been invited to dinner at my brother-in-IA"w's home. It's one o! these hu1re double apart­ment housea witlt four elevators,

.with populatiola CIIIIOUgb fer a small town. Anyway, we were having so much trouble flnding· th~m

without knowinnr the apJt.rtment number. <Even the supedntend· ent couldn't help ua. There were several of that na~ne. and she didn't know first nametl. llbe aald. No . she really eoukba't do anything about ltD . Only by flnall~r going out to the corne·r drug 11tore to telephone my b1:'0ther-ln -law did we discover we 9rere to get to 4E. More than ever, my hwsba.nd and I felt smug and superlo1r abo".lt "unclvill%ed" Greenbelt, BJ'ld stfU muttering "fantastic, • my husband pushed the buzze1~ o4 lWI brother's door. SOME CLASSICAL STUF"F w.u pouring out of the FK set, and the children who were out in the yard suddenly burst expectantly in 1U1d looked at the te!evlslon set. You see; they thought cartoc.ns were on television. hr lltl!Lny months now channel 1 baa been uhowfng cart.oons accompanied by good substantial tolerable conce•rt mu­sic, and the kids bave com•~ to aa­aoclate symphony music ~;th car· toona. I don"t know If thalt'a good or bad. It's a boon to the houee­wlfe who bee to u.ten. but It may be a poor WRY to Introduce the Jdddle. to good musSc:.

and men Gang aft a-gley;

An' lea'e us nought but grief. and pain,

For promls'd joy." be·eause, they changed all the dates of the regular meetings and I was in Louisville when they held the irregularly sc:hedt!led "'November 5 meeting and l will be in Cleveland fo.r the NoVIember 19 meeting, in Los Angeles •:>n December 3, in San Francisco for the quarterly meet· in g on Decernber 8, and In Denver for the December 1'l' meeting. I hereby pubbcly apologl:e to th"" bc>ar'd and membership for my ne­C4~ssa.ry absences .

I wisil I lut.d been at the Novem· b•~r meeting rather than In Louis· vhllte. I bave a great deal more pride in my GVHC voting record titan in my selectipn of horses at Churchill Downs, and my mistakes a:re much le~IB costly. U you see a horse ambUng leisurely through Greenbelt, trea.t him klndly-I probably have some money bet on hJ,m. If I had been at the last GVHC

board meetir1.g, I would have voted a1~ainat t11e Jltroposal to ~cept paid a·dvertisemefllts in the G V H: C N'ewsletter. I believe that a corn­r ... unity newe1paper in a town tbls size is a clivic necessity, but If every organization Ia going to subsidize its· own paper, then we wont have a public newspaper . And It the ~rewa Review (formerly tlte Coopen.tor) is thus put out o:~ bi.lBlness, :It will be mtaeed. even by me. For the· money now spent oJrt the Ne\'ll·aletter, we could buy a full page ln the News Review a:nd deliver it to every family in Gre•mbelt once a month. Don't for­g•et that thla newspaper provldea a regular free •rvtce to all churches and organizattona in town In Uating their meetings and r«~portlng tlu!lr special events. Let'• not cut ita throat (leave th&t to tne).

I didn't kttow that Frank Laat­n•er had 110 r11.any enemlea in town, he got onl:r 80 percent of the v•otes cut.

It's a go~td thing I didn't bid on any of 1the commercial build­ings. I figured they are worth about $33..838. which would have IE'ft me in the middle apln be­tween the lc:.w bid of $222.222 and the high 1blcl of $t44,444.

I underats.nd that the aucceu­ful bidder rt:ally dlda't intend to bid that rouc:h, but that he stutters and when bls ateongraplu!ra aaked for how much abe should 6B in the bid, h4! said. "'For--, for-. for-. for-·. etc., and befo:re he got out the figures she had sent the bid icto wa:~hlngton.

Undefeated Midgets Beat -Lewisdale 21-0

B)· E. DonBuWaa "Ch(~t" Speziale's Boys Club Kid­

gP~s took another step towards We county football champlonahlp when they defeated LewiJJdale laat Satur.:l3y, 21·0. .A three-platoon system was used with the third team proving just aa effective aa the first. An excellent broken f:teld run by Dlck Ellls took the ball down to t11e 12, from where :Mike Fleshman charged down tb.e mJd­dle for a touchdown , with Stuart, Matson and Duvall furniahlng t~ power.

Followina~ the next kickoff Don King with some excellent quarter-· backing took the team within striking distance "f the goal Une. He then took the ball on an op­tional keep play around right end for the touchdown.

Fle!lhman'a effective numlng and E:ill Steele's pass to Doug En­dres Jlroduced the final toucl,down. The Jl•laying of the Une waa a tre­mend•lus factor in thla victory. Asst. Coach BUI MOf>re'a predlco tion of an undefeated season~ to be well on lf:ll we.y.
