State to Appeal
Farm Tax Ruling
The attorney general has appealed the ruling of
a Howard County judge that would throw out a State
law giving fanners generous tax exemptions.
Martin J. Jones, deputy attorney general, said
the State contends that Judge James Macgill erred in
ruling the farm assessment law of 1956 to be uncon
stitutional.
The measure allows land under cultivation to be
assessed on its worth as farm property rather than
on its actual market value.
It was designed to protect bona-fide farmers
whose taxes have skyrocketed because of the real es
tate boom created by subdivision developments.
Without the law, Jones said, some farmers might
have to pay five times as much in taxes on their farm
land.
The measure was sppnsored by Blair Lee 111,
chairman of the Montgomery County delegation. It
was challenged in court by a group of Howard County
taxpayers, including some contracting firms.
Decision by the Court of Appeals is not expected
until next fall.
Meanwhile, Montgomery Colmty assessors will
continue to value farm property at the lower levels
until the Court of Appeals decision is handed down,
and most other counties are expected to follow suit,
according to Wilton T. Allen, chief of the county’s
assessment division.
The Maryland Farm Bureau described Judge
Macgill’s ruling as “a blow to bona-fide farmers” and
said the Bureau is fully supporting the appeal.

Anti-Freeze Should Be Drained
And Discarded, AAA Points Out
Anti-freeze, whether it’s called
“permanent” or not, should be
drained p.nd discarded now that
summer is near, George T. Viv
erette, manager, emergency road
service department, D. C. Di
vision, American Automobile As
sociation, reminded this week.
"On the first really warm day
of each year, the club's emer
gency road service department
can expect numerous calls for
help from motorists who com
plain of overheated engines,”
Mr. Viverette said. “These
troubles can almost always be
traced to neglect of the cooling
system.”
“Even more serious problems
67 New TB
Cases Found,
Report Says
Sixty-seven new active cases
of tuberculosis were discovered
in Montgomery County in 1958
according to the annual report
of the Montgomery County Tu
berculosis and Heart Association
issued last week.
The known active cases in
the county now number 124,
compared to 138 last year. Ap
proximately nine county resi
dents died of the disease last
year,according to perliminary in
vestigations.
The number of new cases dis
covered in the county each year
appears to remain about the
same, while deaths from the dis
ease are declining and new cases
in children and persons over 45
appear to be increasing, accord
ing to the report.
can develop later in the summer,
or next winter even, unless the
car’s radiator is cared for period
ically,” he added. “What few mo
torists sem to understand is that
while the ice ‘inhibitor’ in the
anti-freeze solution may be per
manent, another equally import
ant quality—rust inhibitor—is
lost after one season. It’s the
formation of rust and other de
posits that frequently clog rad
iators and engine water passages
that cause over-heating.”
The Road Service Manager
suggested the following cooling
system check list to insure good
motoring during the summer:
• Drain old water and anti
freeze.
• If cooling system seems
reasonably clean, refill with
clean water and add good qual
ity rust-inhibitor.
• If system seems rusty, or
if it contains other deposits, use
a high quality cleaner. Follow
cleaner manufacturer’s direc
tions, then refill as above.
• Have all hoses and connec
tions checked for leaks.
• Re-check water level after
a day or two of driving.
