GVHC M:embers .Again Ban Pets Give PR ,{ oting Irtformal Okay

10 cents

By Ru&Sell Greenbaum

For the seconc time in the past. six months, Greenbelt residents who are members of the Greenbelt Veteran Housing Corpor.l.tion voted down by a s1 bstantial majority, a::1 attempt to repeal the pro­vision in the GVHC ho:ine owner's contract which forbids the pos­session of pets. 'I he vote, taken a.t the GVHC quarte1·ly member­ship meeting ThUJ-sday night, De!:ember 3, reaffirmed a pre·;ious vote against pets at the membership meeting last June.

The SC(X}r.d big issue on the a~;•mda, a reconunendation by GVHC that the present propor­tional r..!presentatiG n I>"YStcm of voting for board m ~mbers be re­placed by either p ura!ity voting or cumulative votint · wa.s not offi­cially deeidE::d ,became of a lack of a quonun. Howeve ~. an informal vote reveal-ed that the members preferred b"J retail: the present .system.

P.et lsst1e ·rhe pet Issue, which basically

involves dogs, was raised again by a petition preEented to the m.er.n.bership meeting by the re­quired ten GVHC r.1emhers. The petitioners contend·~d that the action against pet.s at · the Jur.e meeting was "an !n:'ringentent on our rights." The pe:ition went on to state:

"Not aU 00' us OV\-'1 pets, but we feel the inherent ri 5ht to do so

, should not !Je taken away from us. In a tenant relation.ship. the land­lord does have such rights to for­bid possession of pet;; and make it a provision of occu9ancy. How­ever, in a co-owners.'lip such laws have no place. \Ve wish to avoid encroachment on otl1 ers' rig.hts to •iv<! peacel;'uHy, hut we do illsist upon the right to n:.ake our own

' decisions of what 1night be our possessions."

'I~he ptel:itioners S<1 ught per.nis­sio, for GVHC men: bers to keep pet3, subjeCt to such provisions as prov!ding a fenced 1-:-ea for the a.nfmal and not alloV\- ing it to run at large, delegating the police de­partm•cnt to declare an animal a public nuisance, and nquirdng that the o\vner of an an in. a! declared a public nuisance or a I)Ublic hazard dispose of t:ne pet wi~ hin ten days.

Debate on the issue did not flame as high as had beer, anticipated, and there appeared tc be a certain amount of lethargy among the me.Inbers concerning this long­debated question. One member moved that the petiti "'n be tabled. He previously ~-OVed that a sub­stitute proposal Le submitted to the members in whieh the entirP responsibility for cor trolling pets would be in the hands of the city authorities. This motion was ruled out of order, and the motion to table the petition ~ defeated by a J.arge majority.

'rlre ccmplaint of one member that hP never got e. chanee to vote on ar. issue at GVHC meetings be­cau.':le he had to leave for work by 10:30 p.m was enough to end the debate and call for tl:e vote. The mer..1ber was able to leave for work with five minutes to s :>are.

Voting Sys;ern The discussion oh the voting

system was· more prol<>ngerl. Orig­ir.ally sclreduled to prec:·ede the pets issue, it was :postpontd until after thet item on the motion of Tom Ritchie. , ·

The champion of proportional representation or the ::rarE systell" was Bob Volckhau.sen, who waa assisted in his fight by Ritchie. Both argued that the Hare system· was the only means of assuring minority representation on the GVHC board. They pointed out that the plurality syftem. which was preflerred by the 1: oard, would perrnJt an entire slat·~ of candi­d.a.tes to be eloc-ted hy e. single gtoup, leavinJ othe1· members with no voice on tbe bc:oard.

Lil:miU'y Stays Assurance was given the citi­

zens by Mayor Frank La.stncr that th~· library will remain under city c<>ntrol. :Many citizens spoke in favor of keeping the library, with none in oppo-s.ition. An article in the Covpe.rator, reporting the s::,at~._ntr•nts o:f two county library officials at an e8.rlier informational met·ting, was criticized by sevel'la.l :·itL'-:ns for giving a "'one-sided" picture. Lastner opened the hear­iHg with a castigation of the Co­ope•·ator for an ~itorial express­ing the opinion that the council "'"S using the library issue as a blind for mo:re significant aspects of the budget. "We arc not hiding anythmg," he declared.

Nc"' ll:a.te "Guessed" .F'or the fir,;t time, Mayor Last­

ncr hazarded an opinion on the new tax rate: he hoped it would. oc reduced to $2.50 because of a new county appraisal of property due to be announced later this month. The appraised value of Gre:tmbdt property is expected to be greatly increased, which would. drf1.:>tioillly lower the ta.x rate, Lastner ;;;aid. McDonald again hc;,;;~<LL.;..; Lu ~(ut'.&i!l at the rate, but admitted the rate J.astner mentioned scc·m·oo reasonable.

GVHC pre8ident Webster ap­pealed for a l~ower tax rate, de­claring the future of deveLopment in Ureenbelt depends largely on this item. HC' read a letter from Ruger Vlii!cox, of Commun1ty Builders, d'cvelopcrs of Woodland Homes, which stated that approv­al of financing by FHA was se­eur :d at great difficulty due to the tax rate. \Vilkox estimated that :.he present tax rate would requir'e payments of a.n average $520 "!.

~·r·d.r in taxPs by new no1ne-owners in Greenbelt. At a 2% tax rat-e, which he hoped for, only $331} y., oult! be required. He did not wish for redtJ<:cd services, since that. would make Grctenbclt a less ::tttractive place for home-pur­chaser.'!, lhe le·tter added.

Personal lProperty Tax Althoug>h the revenue porti-on of

the budget has not yet been con­sidered by the eounci!, the personal pruperty ~x was the subject of some di~cussion. Ben Ro&enzweig, trca.surer of Greenbelt Consumer .Services, declared .that he hoped "a rl"asonable appro<:~.eh" to the pr;rson::.I property tax would be taken with reE~pect t-o inventorie3 in tht: eoopc:·a.tlve. Rosenzweig introduced general ma4lger Sam Ashe•lman of GCS. "What is good for Greenbelt is good for the Co­op," Ashclman a.ss<O'rted. He stal­ed that the loca.l cooperatJve en­terprise pays ~;2300 in personal !)roperty taxes and $2500 in real property taxes :to the city. He es­timated another $10,000 went to the city in "payments in lieu of ~axes" through rent GCS pays to the federal g·nvemment. "You could cloublt> the personal property lax if it would! get the tax rate down," Ashelrn.<l..n declar:ed. He hoped that continued development In Greenbelt, wah new homes and famiHes would oenefit th'e C()-<)p in the lony run,. and ·fie offered to give any assistance tc. encourage development.

Vol. 18 Thursday, December 10, 1953 No. 18

The Coun4:il and The Tax The Cooperator has been criticised on many occasions, but

not always so deser;edly as it was at Monday's publiC' hearing. In all sincerity, therefore, we extend our apologies to the city council and to the city manager -- and to assure them that we did not mean to cast any reflections on their devotion to the public welfare. They have all demonstrated, beyond any doubt, that they are working in the best interests of the city. They a.re involved in an extremely complex and difficuLt job, and they are conducting it in a most commendable mann~r. We are thankful, indeed, that we have such public spirited men among us.

Without challenging their motives or their sincerity, however, we do question some of their decisions and, in some respects, tbeir judgment. In our opinion, they have failed to come to grips \\ith the most pressing problem of all - - that is, the question of tax rate. The increased assessment on real property will result in a lower tax· rate, tnu·, but this is simply a matter of semantic~. a play on words. The fact remains that the amount of m-oney which each of us must pay in taxes has not changed. The tax rate, taken by itself, is meaningless. Only when related to the real property assessment do..:s it have any significance. And with a higher asc;ess­ment our lower tax rate is still obviously too high. The fact that next year we will p11y about half our current tax rate will not put another dollar in our pockets. What's the difference between -1% of $2,000 and 2% c·f $4,000?

Why lower the tax rate further? Many people are saying that the new home1; and businesses whieh will come lo Greenhtlt will 'broaden the ta:{ base and automatically lower the tax rate. We maintain, that this is putting. the cart before the horse. I;: is more likely that the high tax rate will discourage new development here - the cycle will never be put in motion -- the lowered tax rate, in the te:nns <•f money, is a sine-quo-non to the further de­velopment and growth of Greenbelt.

And here is the crux of our community problem. We refuse to lower taxes at the risk of losing services. But how much room is there for economy in the operation of these services? Plenty, we submit. Last year'::; surplus of $25,000 is significant. We believe that it is possible to practice the kind of economy which will give us the same services we now enjoy but at a reduction in cost.· If we can save $15,00(• this year, and add to it the surplus from :.ast year, and possibly $5.000 which GCS may pay in personal prope·rty taxes, we will have saved enough money to lower our tax rate: to something close to $2.00.

This would be nuch more likely to encourage new development here - and this, w~ belive, is what we all want. ...................................

Eilh•r out of a sense of ohlig-a­Ucm to t!J,; C!Jesap<."llke & Potontac Telephone Company or merdy as a spo.c('<"Jller, you carrie-d a long ar­tic.r- in the Dec2mber 3 issue quot­bg in <in'lil th·e tclephor.~ com­pany's cas,· for a rate i ··,cn•ast.·. By th(, completely one-side-d tone of tlw artie:le. I would jud ~~e it to he a prLSS rclaas.-: written by th(; COTtlpany.

No\v the request for a :·ate in­crease is legitimate new:;. Th.c> colullln of company propaganda is pure bunk. It may be that an increase is justith:d, but I see no rc;;.:,on for taking the cocnpany's word en it.

I would much rather :>ec our cmnn1unity ncwspapl.!r come up wit.;1 some facts and figures. For e~t.mple: What is the co:npany's present profit? WhP.n was the last rate increase granted ? How do telephone charges hen~ com­pare with other areas?

A.:1 •advertiser generally gets value received for the space he bu~ts. The newspaper .that allows its advertisers to influen<~ news policy quickly loses the respect of its reai.~·rs.

WATER RATE Re· Approval of increasE· of 'wa­

ter rate by City hoeads, I would like to know what part of 0~1r $30.00 a year water payment is assigned for repair a.nd mainte­nance of the se ... vcrs. Lqs·: J',farch I attended a Council me•·tm;; to ask wby our yearly water p~.yment was $30.00 "vhcreas oth•~r area r0sidcnts was $18.00. :May.)r Last­ncr and Council explained Lhat the first year the Veterans Hou.;;'J:~ Corp0raUm1 would h?..vc to p.1y c1t the same rat.~ as the Puhhr~ H(J,J-:­ing A•..:thority which v:as high. l r seems that Greenhclters as renters were very carelcg;> \\ith w.>.tcr. It is a known fact that when '..ltl!itics arc mC'tered the llScr becom0s more careful \Vhen he ha~ to p3.y the bill. Council told me the cvst of metering the water was prohi b­itive; that Gre<enbeltcrs would have to be made aware of their extravagant usc of watex·. The average use of water in metro­politan Pittsburgh was $7.2G a year. In the Carolinas the water rete is $12.00 a year. So .. t would seem $30.00 a year is ou•:rageous and the propoS'ed increase of S3.00 to $4.00 a year adds insult to in­jury. Let us make an av.-arencss of the facts known to the l:layor and Council.

Caruso Pleud!o For Band 4 A fervent aJ;p.:Jal by Vincent Ca­

ruso for $1000 to .supply uniforms for the Greer.;)elt. Band met with little SUC"cc,.s. At pr€sent, $300 is included in th ~ budget for main­tPr •. :.nce en~ rq>air of ·musical in­struments usee by the band an<! owr.cd by the dty. Caruso de­clared t:Jat n,e band publiciZ\~d the community a.t many out-of­town affairs. was a municipal ven­ture, and des<·rved g~eater con­sideration by the council. The band needs U'ti::orms ba.dly and has had to dec; ir.-c many revenue­pro..1ucing events because of this need. He ren:.inded the council that the city gave greater support, fina.r:cially, in earlier years.

Mayor L<U:.tn~~r stated that the council was dE;t(,nnined to keep the budget low and the ba.nd was not deemed a municipal enter­prise Ly the council. Councilman Ben Goldfaden reminded Caruso that tae practiee of "subsidizh>g" organizations C<•uld easily lead to app<"'d.Js from ntany other groups in financial stl'1!1.it.~. Th<e council and many citizens offered to help in any &10ney-r,tising venture ttoe band would undm-take in the com­ing year, and hopoo the financial problems of th4! band would be solved in this manner, rather than by municipal appropriation. A ~road hint by Gold.faden, how­ever, oisdosed •:hat money from within the "culturu.I" department might be found later in the ~ar for the band an :J could easily be appropriated at that time.
