merce to explain the apparent slow
manner in which the zoning work is
being carried out and to offer his CO.

the coming commission and he himself
we're fully aware of the part that the
trade body has played in furnishing
half of the funds necessary for the work

close touch with the directors, reporting

to be held before the commission could
reach a decision. Saville said that the
map and research work is being con-
tinued without interruption and that
the commission will be in position to
adopt q tentative ordinance in about
six weeks.
Saville announced he has been in con-
sultation with the National Capital Park

its desires for the developments along
the present and contemplated highways
to the bridges leading into the city and
that the Arlington County Commission
will cooperate with the Federal body
in every way possible.
Following Saville's talk. the directors
of the chamber constituted themselves
a committee as a whole to assure a
large attendance on the annual outing

COURTHOUSE ACTS
STUDY IS ORDERED
Montgomery Board Seeks
Definition of Rights Under
Recent Legislation.
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY,

SILVER SPRING, Md, June L.
Study Of the several acts passed by the
1927 and 1929 sessions of the Maryland
Legislature, and providing funds for the
acquisition of additional land and for
the construction of new courthouse
in Rockville has been ordered by the
county commissioners, 1t was learned
today.
The commissioners have sent letter
to Joseph c. CiSsel. counsel tn the
board, asking him to give them an
opinion as 20 the rights and obliga-
tionS of the commissioners under the
several acts.
1t was said by Commissioner Lacy
Shaw, vice president of the board. that
no particular difficulty has come to
their attention at this time, but that IN
view of the fact that several acts were
passed dealing with the area to be ac-
quired, they wanted a definite legal
statement as to just what they could
TO proceed in legal way. and at the
same time wanted to build court
house which would meet the needs of
the county for some years to come.
$4,000 for Land Purchase.
He pointed out that one of the acts
passed by the last Legislature, while it
provided Sl30,000 for the acquisition of
a small strip of land in the square
west of the courthouse and additional
money for building. the act, as they
read it. did limit them to the use of
$4,000 only of this fund for the pur-
chase of land Another. act provides
$4,000 for the acquisition OF additional
land in the same square. but only for
the purpose of widening Montgomery
avenue.
This widening. of course, will neces-
state the taking of the fronts of some
of the buildings located on this street
These two acts will provide money for
taking q portion of two sides of the
square, and it has been proposed by the
county commissioners, if they find they
can do so legally, to use portion of
their 100000 emergency fund for the
purchase of the remainder of the
square.
Some weeks ago the county commits
sioners directed their clerk, Berry E.
Clark, to send letters to the owners OF
the property in the square west of the
present court building. asking them to
name a price for their property.
Quotations From All But Four.
So far the county commissioners have
received quotations from all except four
of the landholderS. The prices thus
far asked total $50 900. and it was said
the four owners not yet heard from
have the most expensive parcels. How
ever, 1t is not likely that any further
move will be made toward starting the
project until an opinion is received
from Mr.. Cissel.
Mr.. Cissel said that the letter from
the county commissioners was very
broad and that he would have to make
a thorough study of all the acts before
he could announce an opinion as TO
just how far the county could go under
Legislature.
