Announcing the change Water Engineer William A. Megraw said that Mr. Shauck •was a machinist and would have broader powers than his predecessors. The city has; about 4,000 acres of land on the Gunpowder watershed and all of it will be in charge of the new superintendent, who is directly under James W.

SURVEY PREPARED. (Continued from Page 1, Col. 1) crease in the direct tax for schools, or (2) by a bond issue. To secure the minimum amount, ($500,000.00) the issue of serial bonds, to run for ten years would cost $125,000.00 in Interest charges, plus the principal of $500,000.-00, or a total of $625,000.00 to meet, which would require about six cents on the tax rate annually for ten years; to raise the maximum amount, would require nine cents annually for ten years. It may be of interest to know what Allegany County, the next county to ouv own in wealth and population, is doing to meet similar conditions, and I therefore submit the following: ALLEGANY COUNTY Present tax rate for school purposes ...........................$ .54 Rate necessary for increase in teachers' salaries................15 Rate necessary for bond issue.....07 BALTIMORE COUNTY, 1919 Present tax rate for school purposes ...........................$ .37 BALTIMORE COUNTY, 1920 Tax rate for school purposes, including increase in teachers' salaries .................j.........$ .40 Rate necessary for new buildings, (minimum amount) ..............25 Total tax rate for 1920.........$.65 Of the 37 cents levied in 1919, 34 cents was for maintenance, and 3 cents was for school buildings, so that our maintenance costs for 1920, including increase in teachers' salaries, will be 40 cents. To secure the minimum amount for new buildings, ($500,000.00), it would require an increase of 25 cents on the tax rate for two years, and the county would need to levy $125,000.00 less than under the ten year serial bond plan, and while 65 for school purposes seems a very heavy increase, it was not more than was levied by three other counties of the State last year. As explained above, a bond issue would require that $125,000.00, or more would be added to the levy, over and above that required, if the amount needed were raised by direct taxation. I cannot believe that the makeshift policy of portable buildings and temporary structures will be satisfactory to the people, or prove a wise policy for the Board to continue, and I therefore recommend that a full statement of the Situation be made through the press, and to the Trustees, Parents' Clubs and Improvement Associations, as also to the Taxpayers' Association. A complete knowledge of the conditions is not only the public's right, but it is the only means by which we may hope for cencerted action that will bring relief from the present and increasing inadequate conditions of many of our school buildings. Yours very respectfully, ALBERT S. COOK, Superintendent of Schools. January 1, 1920. School Building Needs During Next Two Years.

The Federal Motor and Sales Co. 803-5-7 LOW STREET BALTIMORE, MD. All Towson Shares Our Success A FUNDAMENTAL FACT iWHEN A MAN STARTS a business he usually expects to make a living at it. If, after conducting the business as efficiently as conditions permit, he finds that he is losing money, there are only two things he can do: Raise his prices—or quit. (THIS FACT IS FUNDAMENTAL. And it applies to public-serving companies as well as to individuals. For example, if the telephone company—after conducting its affairs efficiently — finds its revenue insufficient to pay expenses and yield a fair profit, the telephone company suffers. iTHE TELEPHONE COMPANY CANNOT SUSPEND OPERATIONS; THEREFORE, IT MUST APPEAL FOR MORE REVENUE. IVVE BELIEVE THAT NO telephone subscriber wishes to feel that he is receiving service at a price so low that our company is not making a living, just as the intelligent citizen does not want the merchants with whom he deals to lose money on his purchases. OUR APPEAL FOR HIGHER RATES, in other words, is based on the fundamental fact that to give good service we must have adequate revenues. In previous advertisements we have placed before you the financial condition of our business; we have stated the increased difficulties that we are meeting, and we now ask your consideration of the fundamental fact that even a public service corporation must make a living. RYE ARE MAKING THESE STATEMENTS in the public press in order that you may see for yourself that our request ! for increased revenue is base"d on sound business principles.
