The project received high recommendation by a panel of out-of-state evaluators. Suit an additional $39.2 million in annual revenue. our successful expense control and productivity improvement programs, we are still far short of having the dollars that arc required to provide quality telephone service now and in the said James Jacobs, vice president and general manager. He said a basic objective of the new rate schedule is to shift more of the cost burden upon those responsible for the company's having to expend more funds. These costs supposedly would not be borne by all customers and would keep each basic monthly rate as low as possible.

Under the plan, a $20 fee would be charged for Installation in residents instead of the present $11 and $30 instead of $22 for certain businesses. Nonpublished telepone numbers would cost $1 per month and nonlisted numbers 75 cents a month. Basic monthly rates for residential customers would increase between 5 and 8 per cent and from 10 to 16 per cent for businesses. Other changes in the revised revenue include a seven cent charge for each message unit over the allowance, and changing rural service to four-party service as facilities permit. Jacobs said Telephone plans to spend over $200 million this year for additions and improvements to telephone facilities in the state.

The utility spent $180 million in 1972, he said. In justifying the increase Jacobs said, must ask for this because of the continuing tremendous growth in telephone service needs, increased levels of state and local tax and higher Notebook I By Phil Grout TREASURE A father-and-son team find another egg in the annual Easter Egg Hunt across Route 140 from the Westminster Shopping Center Saturday.

(Evening Sun Photo) City Disqualifies Baumgardner The Westminster City Council disqualified Ralph Baumgardner, Jr.

from the 1973 Mayoral election race Monday night on the grounds that Baumgardner does not fulfill the two-year residency requirement. Baumgardner said he will seek the advice of legal counsel before contesting the decision. He interpreted the move as an advantage to incumbent Mayor Joseph H. Hahn who will face City Council President LeRoy Conaway in the May 14 election. The Council followed the legal advice of City attorney, Stanford Hoff.

The City charter says that a candidate for Mayor must reside in the City for two years, according to a letter from Hoff to the Council. Hoff cited voter registration records showing that Baumgardner had registered outside the City in August 1970 and had not changed his address on his registration form since that time. Baumgardner contends, however, that he has received mail at a 116 E. Green St. address during the last two years, even though he has not spent the majority of his time within the City.

Burch May Try For Senate Continued From Page M-l an hour and a half because telephone service in the area was knocked out when the main phone cable burned. The firemen were hampered by an inadequate water supply. Because there was no public water in the area, water had to be brought in from a nearby river. The fire started in the basement area which Schneider says he left unlocked for the convenience of his tenants because the washers and dryers were located there. Mrs.

apartment was in the front of the building, which was the first section to burn. The fire department had ordered the tenants to stay out of the building, prefering to risk loss of their possessions to the loss of life. No one was hurt in the blaze. By DAVID GOELLER ANNAPOLIS (AP) Atty. Gen.

Francis B. Burch, the recipient of a strong political endorsement for reelection, says there is a possibility he will seek instead the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in 1974. Burch made the statement Monday only hours after Irvin Kovens, the chief political fund raiser and political confidante to Gov. Marvin Mandel, said Burch would be the attorney general candidate on the reelection slate next year.

The two men reacted in separate interviews to persistent rumors that Burch, who has had health troubles and who has never been particularly close to Mandel, would be dropped from the 1974 slate. Kovens, a Baltimore businessman, said: Burch will definitely be on the ticket for attorney general. He is a Burch later said he intends to seek reelection on the Mandel slate I decide to run for the U.S. Senate. a possibility.

tentative decision is that I will run again for attorney general, but not ruling out the U.S. Burch stated. voluntary mention of the Senate represented perhaps the strongest public suggestion of him as an opponent to Sen. Charles McC. Mathias, R-Md.

Previous speculation about a Democratic candidate has centered on House Speaker Thomas H. Lowe, D-Talbot, and Joseph D. Tydings, who lost his Senate seat to Republican J. Glenn Beall Jr. in 1970.

Burch, 54, has been hospitalized at least three times since November. The second occasion, he said, was in December for a He said his health now is I am feeling great. I am doing a lot of He said his physicians had assured him he have a full Regarding the health situation, Kovens said: somebody takes sick, question about his health. The doctor sees absolutely no reason why he run. He has a clean bill of Asked about political future an aide to Mandel said: far as the governor is concerned, Burch is the attorney general and will be the candidate for attorney general in 1974, unless he decides to seek another Recent political gossip has tabbed Burch as the least politicially secure member of the top four elected officials, a group comprised of Mandel, Burch, Lt.

Gov. Blair Lee III and Comptroller Louis L. Goldstein. The speculation has centered on Mandel and the other party kingpins dropping for health favor of perhaps Lowe or Senate President William S. James, D-Harford.

Burch said he thought there was only chance in a he would be dumped from the Mandel slate, which is expected to control a hefty amount of the available statewide political rhouey next year. The bulk of the funds will be raised May 22 at the Baltimore Civic Center. Kovens says he hopes to net $1 million from the $110-a-ticket affair, billed as a fete to Mandel, Lee, Burch and Goldstein. Burch said that if for some reason he is dumped from the Mandel team, rule out the possibility I would field my own ticket. Right now, I have every intention of staying in public life 'Ihe attorney general said he expects to be back at his desk by the middle of May following a three-month hiatus recommended by his doctors.

He said that he has been walking from five to eight miles each day and plans to walk 10 miles next Sunday in the March of Dimes Walkathon. Burch stated that a group of individuals had pledged to donate $5 or $20 for each mile he walked. Completion of the route would bring in about $3,000, including $50 from Mandel, he said.

D. 5, Sunday CARROLL THEATRE "THE VALACHI Starts Wednesday I Show 7:30 Politics are fine, but politics financed by public funds h4tt. the smell of corruption. But playing along with publically financed politics has the aroma of corruption and flavor eft cowardice. Back in January, I predicted the race for Mayor of WOTt-' minster would be between Mayor Hahn and ity Council President Leroy Conaway.

That hunch came true. The other side of my prediction is coming true also. Mayor Hahn going to give up his position without a fight. It appears that Conaway usjjji to the kind of fight it goiqg, to take to topple over the Mayor. After my prediction in January, I told someone the MayOfi may lose the election, but the campaign may see him like an old fox caught in a trap.

The cunningness of the I ox gives way to the shear will to survive. The fox will gnaw his leg off to get mu ree. So far Mayor Hahn has his political gears well oiled and is ripping off tiic Council right under their noses. showing no signs of a struggle. surviving smoothly.

I wonderJf Conaway or the Council have the expertise and gumption lo check him. This newspaper has pointed out before the Mayor's comings at totally understanding and coping with the problems that face Westminster. But he needs no lessons on how to run a political campaign. Last week I discovered the Mayor had authorized, without tlie consent of the City Council, two ads publicizing the Westminster Clean Up Day. The ads in this paper and the Carroll County Times totaled $97.00.

Granted the ads were promoting a worthwhile cause, htytj between the lines, the ads promoted Mayor Joseph H. Hahn. I pointed the ad out to one of my reporters. At first glance thought the ad announced Mayor campaign for election. I wonder how many other persons had that same first thought.

Plus I ran a news story announcing the clean up, put it at top of Page 2 with a four column headline. The Carroll County Times put it on Page 1 with a box around il. And both myself and the editor of the Times saw fit to out the glowing superlatives that made Mayor Hahn seem like' Mr. Ecology, that it was his idea to clean up this town. stuck to the facts tliat there was going to be a clean up day; But Mayor Hahn then turned around and used public to pay for the two ads.

sorry to admit it, but money Mayor Hahn had the money, or shall I say the public had the' money at Mayor disposal. Therefore the ads were worded to his specifications. The matter came up in last council meeting. to be expected Dave Babylon jumped on the Mayor for running the ads without Council approval. non Blasts Hahn On Misuse Of That makes fbr good reading in the newspapers, but they might as well have slapped his wrist.

What do they do? They turn around and authorize the City the Famous last words. the The councg takes 15 minutes each council meeting to review all the billsr Then they tell the finance director to pay them. I mean, the bills are can they say, pay the As it stands now there still is no check and balance on public spending by the office before the fact. And the ads all of it. In an even wider breach of ustpg public funds for political expediency, the Mayor had between 220 and 250 letters sent on his letterhead urging city residents 1 to register for the May 14 election.

The letters were typed, reproduced and mailed out at City again without authorization from the But if that enough, Mayor Hahn, who billed himself type of Mr. Ecology in the Clean Up Day ads, took it upon himself to play Mr. Humanitarian at the expense to save a silver maple tree near the city playground to the of $618.75. Taking the defensive, the Mayor said it was up to the tree surgeon and Carroll Dell, Public Works Director, to save or, cut down the tree. Dell had decided the tree should I cut down.

He went on vacation and returned to find been countermanded by Mayor who ordered the tree be saved. Again the council chided the Mayor for his quasi-misuse public funds. But in the final analysis, all the Mayor got was a wrist-slapping. My criticism of Mayor Hahn is not to say Leroy Conaway is without fault. If he lacks the courage to stand up to the Maybr publically, debate the issues and let the record speak for himself, he is no better candidate for Mayor than Jack HahHl Leroy Conaway have Russ Sellman anymore to fight the Council battles with Mayor Hahn.

And in the final hour out there in the political arena, Conaway going to have Dave Babylon to lean on as he has in the council chamber. I hope this will be a clean campaign. That will be up to Leroy Conaway.
